Chain of Memories A little help here?

I'm having trouble with the second Riku fight. (I think it was the second, the one right after Destiny Island anyway.) He just seems to kill me right away before I get to deplete even three life bars from him. Any foolproof ways to beat him?

I haven't played the original CoM past Hades (got stuck and returned the game to the friend I borrowed it from, lol I suck) so I don't know exactly what each card does, especially the enemy ones - I'm completely clueless about them. I'm level 51.

..I think I've been stuck in this battle for over a month. Help me, please?

Edit: *facepalms* So there was a Help board? Are Final Mix and Re:CoM included in it? D: Please move this if it is so, and hit me with a sharp object afterwards. Thanks.

 

Well, you could have put it in help. But sometimes they let this kind of stuff stay in this section. But you'll have to wait until they get here.

But here is some advice.

Stock up with atleast four cures, and have some zero cards aswell. Use slights to your advantage, but use them wisely.

 

That's pretty much what I've been doing, although I'm not sure how wise my sleights have been.. Are there any specific combos I should try against him?

I'm really surprised to have gotten this far with my nonexistant deck-building skills. Vexen alone had me in Traverse Town for a good two months :D

 

try to attach him without truce, with the special attacks,combos and the magics
