If you wonder why I put this here it's because:
1. It IS Help & Support
2. Where else could I put it?
Yo, I'm Soul, I got a boss guide concerning KHRe:CoM, or Kingdom Hearts Re(peat):Chain of Memories. The name comes from the plot (CoM) and its origin, the GBA game (2004) that got a port to PS2 in 2007 as an extra with KH2FM in Japan, the combo known as KH2FM+, in America (the continent), it came as a single game in Dec. 2008.
This guide starts with Riku Replica IV, but I will add on as I beat R/R and repeat Sora's story. It will include 1st & 2nd run. Info is as follows:
1st Run:
-Difficulties
*Normal fight
*Sleight fight
*No Heal fight
*No Damage fight
-Recommendations
*Good level
*"You lose, you suck" level
*"YOU BEAT HIM AT THIS LEVEL" level
-Decks
*Recommended
*Alternative
*DO NOT USE!
-HP
*Enemies HP
*HP I ended battle with
-General Strategy
2nd Run:
-Difficulties:
*NO HP+ difficulty
*Low HP difficulty
-Recommendations
*Updates to all
-Decks
*Updates
-Enemy details
*What enemy says with each attack
*What card color means each attack
*Enemy sleights, what they do, and how to dodge them.
-Extra strategy
EXTRAS:
Beginner: Enemy=DMG*0.75/Sora=DMG*1.00
Standard: Enemy=DMG*1.00/Sora=DMG*1.00
Proud: Enemy=DMG*1.25~50/Sora=DMG*1.00
Critical (ONLY in KH2FM): Enemy=DMG*2.00/Sora=DMG*1.25
Which means that if you got 100 hp and an enemies attack deals 10 DMG it goes as follows:
B=-7.5
S=-10
P=-12.5~15
C=-20
The difficulty ONLY changes damage, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) stays the same!

Decks:
Good: "Raider": To be explained in Strategy guide.
Altern1: Magic only deck (for a LOW HP challenge or No sleights)
Altern2 (not recommended): Sonic Blade Deck WITH Elixir-such items.
DO NOT USE!:
- Low Cards-No 0's Deck
-Sleight deck w/o Recovery items
-Gravity Deck.
:::END:::
STRATEGY:
Deck I used: Raider
Composed of: It was a deck to fight Repliku IV, which I had a really hard time at 1st, I managed to NO HEAL him with this deck:
-A Strike Raid: ATK Cards: 24-26
-A Blitz: DIFFERENT ATK Cards: 10-15
-3 Sonic Blades: DIFFERENT ATK Cards: 20-23
-A Recharging SLEIGHT: Elixir+2 HIGH ATK Cards:
The reason for this is to be able to have a better chance that your Item isn't Card Breaked, you put it in a Sleight AND FIRST to make sure that even if it's breaked you still used the card.
-A Jafar Card (For No Sleight-Breaks)
-A Vexen Card (to make sure you survive)
-3-6 0's
OPTIONAL:
Cure cards
Cloud cards
Magic cards (for OTHER sleights).
The main point of the fight is to start using a Strike Raid to stun the Replica. Then you Blitz him or, if you're leveled enough, Ars Arcanum him. You then proceed with Sonic blading him 3 times, that's 21 hits.
After that, use the Elixir sleight & repeat, but activate the Jafar card RIGHT AFTER you do the Strike Raid or Blitz, if you activated earlier, then use your Vexen card just in case. Have your 0's ready with shortcuts to block sleights and counter with your own, the fight will be over and you might not have needed the Vexen card after all...HELL, you might not even had needed any cures...or even luckier, NO DAMAGE!
1st run difficulty I played in: Standard

Would have survived Proud?: Yes

-A Strike Raid: ATK Cards: 24-26
-A Blitz: DIFFERENT ATK Cards: 10-15
-3 Sonic Blades: DIFFERENT ATK Cards: 20-23
-A Recharging SLEIGHT: Elixir+2 HIGH ATK Cards:
The reason for this is to be able to have a better chance that your Item isn't Card Breaked, you put it in a Sleight AND FIRST to make sure that even if it's breaked you still used the card.

-3-6 0's
OPTIONAL:
Cure cards
Cloud cards
Magic cards (for OTHER sleights) EXCEPT Thunder
I watched this guy's videos not so long ago, they helped me to build a strong deck, but when I tried his deck against Larxene, it never worked....
His deck was a magic-based deck, composed of:
-3 Firagas
-A Fire Raid
-A Judgement
-2 Blizzagas
-A Blizzard Raid
-A Recharging Sleight
-Red Nocturne Card (Fire Boost)
-Vexen card
I tried his same deck but w/o the Red Nocturne card, since I didn't have any, it didn't work so well you could say....I got her down to the last 2 bars, then I died, Vexen card helped me get her to 1.5 HP Bars, then I moved on to the next life...
I decided to try the Repliku deck, Raider, again....to my surprise I managed to make it work, th strategy is as follows:
Strike Raid her, then Blitz/Ars Arcanum her and Sonic Blade spam her 3 times again, don't be surprised if the FINISH RC doesn't hit, because the invisible walls get in the way, the combo should have put her down to between 6.5-6 HP Bars, use your Recharging sleight and repeat the strategy, counter her sleights with 0's then hit with your own. This battle is a tough one, so be ready with the Vexen card whenever you need it. Her cards are high-numbered so there is a chance that when you run out of recharging sleights she will hit you, to top it off, her sleights are powerful so be careful especially with one that traps you in a thunder and shocks nearly 100 HP out of you. To make sure this doesn't happen, have 3-4 Recharging sleights just in case anything happens.
1st run difficulty I played in: Standard
HP lost: 335 out of 335
Would have survived Proud?: Yes (thanks to Vexen card)
Would have survived NO HP+?: No
Would have survived Proud NO HP+?: No
Used Vexen Card, or at least, revived thanks to it?: Yes
Used Heal cards?: No
Got hit?: Yes
Verdict: Proud Mode, No Heal fight (Vexen used)
Difficulty for me: 6/10

DO NOT USE!:

-Sleight deck w/o Recovery items
-FIRAGA DECK.....EVER!!!
:::END:::
STRATEGY:
Deck I used: Strike Arcanum
Composed of: It was a deck to fight technically any boss that can be looped:
-A combo of 3 Strike Raids and 3 Ars Arcanums, going in this order: SR-AA-SR-AA-SR-AA. SR: Cards adding up to 24-26/AA: Cards adding up to 1-6
-Blizzard Cards for Blizzaga+Blizzard Raid
-2 Recharging SLEIGHTS: Elixir+2 HIGH ATK Cards:
The reason for this is to be able to have a better chance that your Item isn't Card Breaked, you put it in a Sleight AND FIRST to make sure that even if it's breaked you still used the card.
-A Jafar Card (For No Sleight-Breaks, especially the Arcanums)
-A Vexen Card (to make sure you survive)
-3-6 0's
OPTIONAL:
Cure cards
Cloud cards
Magic cards (for OTHER sleights) EXCEPT FIRE
This fight, in my opinion, is the hardest, and one of the few that the Raider deck doesn't work with. So I had to invent a new deck, tried the obvious at 1st, a Blizzagax3, Blizzard Raid, Judgement, Recharge & Repeat deck, but I only managed to drop him to his last 3 HP bars, when I tried ATK only, I dropped him to the last 2, so I mixed em together and got Strike Arcanum. Start by using the Jafar card, to make sure your AA doesn't get CB (Card Breaked). Use SR to stun Axel, then proceed with AA, repeat 3 times, that's equal to 18 hits, meaning the Jafar card still has 2 ATK Cards left, do a recharging sleight and proceed to repeat, don't forget that you can activate the Vexen card right after the SA (Strike Arcanum) combo. If you want, before using the Recharging sleight, use your 3 Blizzagas and your Blizzard Raids, then recharge, he should have, if all that done properly, he should have about 4.5-3.5 HP bars left, do the 0-sleight strategy and you should be fine. Have about 3-4 Recharging sleights to make sure you don't die. I got lucky and hit him with a 0 card right before he teleported, but 3-4 will make sure that doesn't happen to you.
1st run difficulty I played in: Standard
HP lost: 350 out of 350
Would have survived Proud?: Yes (Thanks to Vexen card)
Would have survived NO HP+?: No
Would have survived Proud NO HP+?: No
Used Vexen Card, or at least, revived thanks to it?: Yes
Used Heal cards?: No

Verdict: Proud Mode, No Heal fight (Vexen used)
