Sleights

Sleights are special abilities or techniques that can be used by stocking cards in Chain of Memories and Re:Chain of Memories. A sleight requires a specific combination of two or three cards, and are usable by both Sora, Riku, as well as any boss that uses a card deck. Sora may learn his sleights through leveling up, progressing through the story, obtaining certain cards, or by finding them in treasure chests, while Riku starts the game with all of his sleights. Subsequently Sora has the largest sleight repository of everyone by far.

Re:Chain of Memories also made several notable changes to sleights, be it their description, how they actually function in combat, their damage output, when or where they are acquired, as well as removing some and adding new ones.

Obtaining all Sleights grants you the silver trophy and achievement Sleight Master in the 1.5 ReMIX version.

Gameplay[]

The required cards for a sleight vary for each, with the common magic, summon, and friend sleights only needing two cards for the -Ra and Lv 2 versions, but three for the -Ga and Lv 3 versions. attack sleights, specifically those acquired from level ups, always have a specific total value requirement, as well as three different or identical cards. Some sleights also do not specify an exact card, but allow any card of a specific type to be used.

As sleights are used through stocking cards the first card in the set is lost upon activation. This is a non-issue for the short and frequent encounters against various Heartless, where using all sleights for overwhelming firepower is a simple way to end a fight quickly. It is however less efficient against bosses, who can often tank a full deck of sleights, forcing you to reload and be left with less cards. Setting your deck up so that you only lose weaker cards in sleights, or that you can still make strong sleights with the leftovers, is a clever tactic to make the most out of your available cards.

Later on you can rely on strong item cards (specifically the Mega- and Elixir cards) to reload lost cards, making spamming sleights a much more viable strategy. Using cheaper Premium Cards is also a viable way to increase the amount of cards in your deck, as the first card in a sleight becomes unreloadable regardless. Another tactic is to use a friend card followed by a double card sleight, as the friend card is removed anyway, while you can reuse the sleight cards again later.

Elemental types[]

Sleights have an innate element, much like physical and magical attacks, which means they are affected by enemy resistances and weaknesses. The majority are 'neutral', with several being fire, ice, and thunder elemental (such as Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder Raid). Reflect Raid was changed from neutral to physical in the remake, making it the only sleight of that type. Lethal Frame and Magnet spiral are the only two sleights that are typeless, making them unaffected, which makes the former especially useful against humanoid bosses due to their innate resistance against the neutral element.

Enemy cards[]

Only a few enemy cards directly affect sleights, aside from those that boost a specific damage type that a sleight uses. Riku Replica's Sleight Lock lets you keep cards that would otherwise become unreloadable due to being used in a sleight, while Marluxia's Double Sleight makes you use sleights twice in a row. Lastly Ansem's Sleightblind will hide the user's stocked cards from their opponent, although the exact effect was absent in the remake due to the absence of Link Mode.

Sora's sleights[]

Sora will automatically unlock the common magic, summon, and friend sleights provided he has unlocked (and subsequently acquired) one of the required cards. The sleights unlocked through leveling up are primarily attack sleights, with a few magic ones later on. Sora will be able to acquire a new sleight at level 2, 7, 12, and so on for every next fifth level up to the 50s. Not picking a sleight when it is available will delay it it, thus the sleights per level are always acquired in the same order.

Also note that all below sleight descriptions are from the remake version, which might not necessarily be accurate to the original GBA version. In particular several remake sleights require timed button presses to fully execute it, in which instance the text is listed as [interact button], as the exact key depends on the platform that is being played on.

Attack sleights[]

Except for Trinity Limit all attack sleights are only acquired through leveling up, and have unique card requirements; either needing three different or identical attack cards, and also needing to be in a specific value range.

Magic sleights[]

Generic magic sleights[]

The 'common' magic sleights are automatically available when the related magic card has been unlocked, at which point you only need to acquire enough of the exact cards to be able to use them. Conversely the stronger sleights do not really deal more damage compared to using the cards separately, they will only have the potential of hitting more enemies. Cura, Curaga, and Graviga are the only real exception.

Conversely several are no longer included in the remake; Gravity Raid, Stop Raid, Homing Fira, and Firaga Break.

Two new sleights are unique to the Bumble-Rumble mini-game; Honey Storm and Honey Pot.

Friend sleights[]

Both the original and remake versions have several friend sleights unique to each. Chain of Memories has Blazing Donald and Goofy Charge, the latter of which is replaced with Goofy Tornado Lv2 in Re:Chain of Memories. The remake also introduces Stardust Blitz, Goofy Smash, Wild Crush (which replaces one possible version of Trinity Limit), and the Pluto sleight Lucky Bounty. Beast's Ferocious Lunge is also changed to Furious Volley.

Only Blazing Donald and Stardust Blitz are not available by default or upon acquiring the related friend card. Both are located in a Room of Rewards, in respectively Agrabah and Twilight Town.

Riku's sleights[]

Riku is normally unable to use any sleight other than those that require The King card. He gains access to several once he acquires Dark Mode after fighting Ansem for the first time, although they can thus only be used while in Dark Mode. The new Duel System in Re:Chain of Memories also includes several new duel sleights.

Attack sleights[]

Sleight	Description	Required cards
Dark Break	Leap into the air and attack enemies from above. Only available in Dark Mode. In Re:Chain of Memories, press [interact button] when it flashes on-screen to add an attack.

Dark Firaga	Expel dark energy in a searing blast. Only available in Dark Mode. (Deals ×8 damage on hit, does not deal area of effect damage. The sleight's type is neutral rather than fire.)	+ + Value range: 16–25.

Duel sleights[]

Duel sleights are unique from other sleights in that they can only be used in duel mode, the sleight depends on the number of cards used and whether you are in Dark Mode or not.

Sleight	Description	Requirements
Impulse	Knock foes into the air before a slam down to the ground, damaging multiple enemies. (First hit deals ×2 damage, second ×4, and shockwave ×5.)	Win a duel that requires you to break three cards.

Boss sleights[]

Humanoid bosses are also capable of using sleights with their own cards, and (except for one instance) always without concern for the card value, although they will prefer to use high value cards to avoid making sleights that are too easy to break. The inevitable loss of cards through sleights by bosses is alleviated by their very large decks, the fact that they only usually have up to three cards to play in any case, and the use of the Elixir card to restore their entire deck.

Note that the game differentiates boss cards by the face (the angle or direction it is looking at for example) and the card image's background color, this can make it somewhat hard to tell what exact cards are used in a sleight.

Sleight	Description	Required cards
Cross-slash	Identical to the normal Sleight. Cloud jumps towards you and executes a series of three slashes at melee range.	+ +
Omnislash	Identical to the normal Sleight. Cloud flies around and swoops in to strike you at melee range. Attacks three times in the original version, but five in the remake.	+ +

Firagaball	Hades charges and throws a rapid fireball. Aimed in your general direction in the original version, but is aimed directly in the remake.	+ + [b] + + [c]
Rush & Present[b]	Hook will repeatedly throw several explosive presents towards you. In the remake Hook's magic card has a similar effect where he throws several explosive presents at once.	+ +
Combo & Present	Hook will execute a rapid flurry of strikes directly around his position, and follow it up with a scattered throw of several explosive presents, after which he is temporarily vulnerable to attack. In the original the presents will bounce around for a bit, whereas they explode immediately in the remake.	+ +
Barrel Blast[c]	Hook will jump onto the front end of the deck and spawn six barrels onto the ship, which will roll parallel to the ship's length as it shifts around. The barrels explode on touch, or after some time has passed, and Hook will attempt to skewer you while the sleight remains active. If he touches a barrel himself the sleight is also canceled.	+ +
Fire Wall	In the original version Axel will create a vertical wall of flames that moves horizontally, which can be dodge rolled through to cancel it. In the remake he will stand in the center of the arena and create a large wall of flame that quickly spreads outwards from his position, which cannot be rolled through.	+ +
Firetooth	Only used during Axel's second bossfight. An attack wherein he throws burning chakrams with two possible variations. In the original he will either throw two chakrams that randomly bounce around the arena, or orbit you. In the remake he will either throw two that follow a helix pattern, or throw four which rapidly bounce around the area.	+ + [b] + + [c]
Lightning Bolt[b]	Larxene will raise her hands and then channel a spray of lightning at melee range in your direction.	+ +

Dark Firaga	Riku Replica will throw a homing fireball. Moves faster but with less homing in the remake.	+ + [b] + + [c]
Dark Aura	Riku Replica will start to rapidly dash towards you, teleporting out and back in after each dash to change the angle from which he attacks. In the original version at the end he will create a series of smaller blasts across the area, whereas in the remake he lands on your position and the blasts are centered around him.	+ +
Helm Split[c]	Riku Replica will jump into the air and attempt to land onto your position, generate a small shockwave when he does. He will repeat this three times, with the third landing generating a series of smaller blasts that track your position.	+ +
Ice Burn[b]	Vexen will create a patch of ice that can make you slip.	+ +
Ice Needle	Vexen will summon a series of icicles that track your position as they rapidly emerge from the floor.	+ +
Freeze	Vexen will create a large block of ice at your exact position, and then swoop in to break it with you caught inside.	+ +
Diamond Dust	Vexen will create a blizzard that covers the entire arena, dealing minor continuous damage. In the remake he follows it up with a shockwave.	+ +
Slide Break[c]	Vexen will summon a large sword and use it to slash twice, followed by a downwards smash that creates a shockwave.	+ +
Blossom Shower	In the original version Marluxia will summon a petal shower that encompasses the whole screen. In the remake he will instead warp towards you and slash with his scythe, at least thrice, followed by a landing in the arena center that creates a massive shockwave, as well as a spray of small darts that attack you directly.	+ +
Deathscythe	the original version Marluxia will strike once with his scythe from afar, creating a vertical cut. In the remake he will float in mid-air and cast three vertical cuts one after another from afar.	+ +
Drop Shot[c]	Marluxia will warp above you and slam down, creating a large shockwave that then erupts upwards.	+ +
Rockshatter	Lexaeus will create a row of rocks and then smash them, creating a group of rocks that bounce around the arena. In the remake this spray covers the entire arena, although the rocks do not bounce around. Only used after powering up at least once.	+ + [b] + + [c]
Impact Quake[c]	Lexaeus will summon a series of rock pillars at and around your position. Can be used without powering up.	+ +
Ground Impact[c]	Lexaeus will jump into the air and slam his weapon down to create an enormous sphere of energy that swiftly engulfs the arena. Cannot be dodged, and can only be used after powering up twice, expending all the energy as a result.	+ +
Cyclone Snatch[c]	Zexion will create a dark vortex at the center of the arena which will draw you to its center. Aside from dealing damage the vortex also steals your Soul Eater cards.	+ +
Dark Punisher[c]	Zexion grabs Riku, dealing low damage over time. Can only be used when enough Soul Eater cards have been stolen.	+ + (0-10)
Catastrophe[c]	Three Zexion clones will rotate around a sphere while charging it with beams, until one of them leaps and detonates it, dealing unavoidable damage. Can only be used when enough Soul Eater cards have been stolen.	+ + (11-27)
Dark Rush[e]	Ansem will use Dark Figure to charge and dash towards you multiple times.	+ + [b] + + [c]
Dark Shadow	Ansem will send Dark Figure to attack you, which it does by emerging from the ground directly underneath your position. As it flies upwards it creates a shockwave. When it returns to Ansem this creates a final shockwave at his position with four smaller blasts moving outwards in an X pattern.	+ +
Shock Slash[c]	Ansem's Dark Figure will send forth a series of discs that expand as they move away.	+ +
Omni Laser[c]	The large ring rotating around the arena will emit a series of lasers, creating 'spokes' that all point exactly towards your position, effectively limiting the possible space to safely move around in as the center of the spokes move towards you.	+ + Three cards numbered 4.
Circle Reject[c]	The angelic figure next to Marluxia will slam down her scythe, creating a large expanding shockwave.	+ + Three cards numbered 5.
Doom[c]	Marluxia will send forward a string that will inflict Doom when it manages to connect. When connected a timer will start, counting down from six to zero, while you have to card break six mid-value cards to free yourself. The actual time limit is around fifteen seconds, and failure means instant death.	+ + Three cards numbered 6.
Whirlwind to the Void[c]	Marluxia will send forth a whirlwind that spreads all your cards around when it hits.	+ + Three cards numbered 7.
Gale of Severance[c]	Marluxia will knock you away and push you away from him with a large gust of wind.	+ + Three cards numbered 8.
