A few tips to make the game easier.

Edit: If anyone wants more in depth tips & strategies go to the Trophy Guide I made for KH:ReCoM

 

As I was looking around the net I noticed a lot of people have trouble with this game, so here are some tips that should make the game as a whole very easy even on Proud.

 

General tips.

1. Always use Sleights, there is no reason not to use them all the time. You are Invincible while you use them, they do fixed damage, and as long as they have a value 10 or higher no non-boss can break it.

2. Your deck does not shuffle so just make your deck a stack of Sleights.

3. Until late game you only need like 125 HP, since you can spam Sleights in all non-boss fights and in most boss fights.

4. Beat 358/2 days first.

 

Sora tips.

1. Always get CP and Sleights when he levels up.

2. Never sell your cards.

3. Use at least 2 Bounty room cards per level to get new magic card, summon card, or a Sleights.

4. Always have 2-3 cures at the back of your deck so you can use the Cura and Curaga Sleights.

5. Beat Agrabah first to both get the Jafar card and grind MP.

6. Beat Olympus Coliseum second to get the Blizzard Raid Sleight from a Bounty room.

7. With the MP you have buy only blue packs until you get 10 Blizzard cards and 10 Fire cards. Between the Jafar card, Blizzard Raid, Fire Raid(the Bounty in Monstro), and the Blitz Sleight(level 17) you should be able to get to the first Larxene fight with little to no problem.

8. Get to level 27 and learn the Sonic Blade Sleight before you fight Larxene, Sonic Blade spam + Jafar can easily take any of the Organization XIII HP down to around 30% HP.

9. By the time you get to the last 4 worlds you should have Lethal Frame and should be close to getting Ragnarok. Between Sonic Blade, Lethal Frame, and Ragnarok + Jafar you should be able to beat the game.

 

Riku tips.

1. Riku story is faster and easier then Sora's since his decks are pre-built for each world.

2. Always get AP when he level up and get as much DP and HP as you feel you need.

3. While his decks are pre-built you can still spam stocked cards in all non-boss fights.

4. When you get in to a Duel just spam cards, you will win 95% of Duels this way.

5. Use the Maleficent card at the start of every non-boss fight and after the Jafar card is used up in boss fights.

6. Most Boss fights are just get in dark mode, use Jafar, and then use Dark Aura if you can, if you can't just use normal attacks + Jafar then use Maleficent.

7. Use Parasite Cage to get rid of bosses card powers, if you don't you will get screwed over by it.

8. The best way to beat both Trickmaster and Ansem is to Duel them, in fact the only way to beat Trickmaster is to Duel it. Try and Duel Ansem down to 50% of his HP then get Dark mode and use Dark Aura + Jafar to win and beat the game.

 

I hope these tips help any who felt this game was to frustrating to play and will at least get people to try and beat it for the story.

Thanks buddy. I've already beaten the game but these are great tips other people can use

Your tips aren't bad but you forgot i few pointers:

 

For Sora:

- DO NOT USE DONALD if the enemy absorbs anything, his AI in this games is terrible and he'll just heal them instead. (Notable Examples: Hades, Axel, Larxene and Vexen, possibly even more.)

 

- Always have the Parasite Cage card for bosses, and in cases where the boss uses more then one know which one to cancel. (Example: Larxene II uses her own card (Haste) and Thunder Boost, null the thunder boost.) (P.S. you have any idea how great it is to null marluxia's double sleight? the fight actually becomes fair '-')

 

- For Bosses have always 2-3 Zeros (especially the latter ones), that way you can break any sleight you know you can't dodge.

 

- Sometimes it's best to let the boss use his attack if you can dodge it, that way you make him waste a card without wasting yours. (then he'll be the one running away waiting for the reload) (One good example is Vexen, i know how to dodge all of his attacks save for his 27, which i always break)

 

- If you make a roulette room, make sure you roll out another one before moving on. If you keep repeating that whenever you use one you'll never get stuck anywhere for long.

 

- I don't find the raids to be worth using, but then again i don't care about stunning foes. Sonic blade however is usefull in some cases, especially if Lethal Frame isn't an option.

 

- Lethal Flame is the most overpowered sleight ever since it can STOP bosses for the attack, so if you can break their card with it and they can't reach a zero before you stop time it rips almost a life bar from them, even Marluxia. (Just keep in mind that some enemies like Marluxia 2nd form and Darkside are hard to get all the hits to connect because their vunerable spot are too high from the ground)

 

 

Riku:

 

- Beware of Wonderland, that world has the worst deck in the game, and it's made so you can't duel with the boss well, so you gotta use an enemy card to even it up or stack 2 cards to match his value. (Tip: Take that world first when it shows up so you can get the boss with lowest HP possible)

 

- Riku gets it easy with his Journal but it's still possible to miss things. Make sure you get every enemy from the worlds you go and get that dammed random joker.

 

- Good Leveling method: Make a martial awakening in C.O. and card break your way into Dark Mode, then use Lexaus card and kill everything with the spinning air attack (it counts as a finisher, triggering the cards Insta-kill effect).

 

- Another method that i don't recomend cuz it's very likelly to screw you up is making a strong initiative room because it makes the enemies start with almost no health BUT it will not affect following waves (and we all know how Neoshadows love coming outta those right? e_e) so you'll have to fight those like you normally do.

I just want to say thank you for this. Definitely using your tips to make my playthroughs easier.

I don't know if I'd go crazy on sleights. Something that hurt me early on when I first started playing this game was always using sleights, no matter what. Then, I kept running out of cards against bosses. That really screwed me over.
What I do is just try to fill my deck with cards 7 & up as soon as I can. Of course, it takes some time, so for the first bunch of worlds 5's and 6's are acceptable.

[SuperSmash5U]

He said to use sleights on normal fights. Once you get Mushu in Hollow Bastion, Sora can Sleight Mega Flare to one-shot everyone in Destiny Islands and most of the enemies in Castle Oblivion(use Trinity Attack for those fights as half of the enemies absorb fire damage, you should be able to get both friend cards if you dodge attacks long enough).

 

Just going to start up reCOM to get the plat in that.
