The Offical Riku IV Help Thread Returned

[Mr.]

Ehh. I just healed, then broke his cards and kicked his butt.
Riku in Riku Mode was WAY/FREAKIN'/HARD. .__. And Ansem is even harder. XD

[light_darksora]

another card you could use is the tinker bell card because it also heals you up.(note:i forgot if it heals you up or it gives you health balls because i haven't played the game in a while.)

[:Saixy:]

i've never used Jafar but it must be really useful...

i already ruined my other game with a cheat code and it had an AMAZING deck so i had to start a new game...(but this time my HP is already half way through blue and im only in DI)

GOTTA TRY THAT

EDIT: if you need loads of zero cards so that you can keep on card breaking Riku, then just go to neverland, obtain the Pirate Heartless Card and when you use it your entire deck will be zero cards!

[AngelofFate]

wow thanks^^ :D but what order do I put the cards in when I fight him.

[Sora_182]

Is the Vexen card a must, because I put it in a diffrent deck than the one I wanted to put it in. And when I removed it from that deck, it vanished. Is there any way to get it back, or am I just being stupid and thinking it's gone forever when it really isn't? Please help!

Edit-And what's a good level to be at, 'cause I'm at level 65 and I'm still having trouble...

[Takayu]

I'm having problems beating the Riku right after you finish the Destiny Islands.

I threw away/sold all of my zero cards to the moogles (I should have know that was gonna come back to haunt me).

Is there any other good way to beat him?
My deck's filled with like twenty-something 9, 8, and 7 attack cards, four Cloud cards, fire, ice, gravity (which I know is totally useless against him), thunder, three aero, and I still can't beat him.

And I'm at level 83!

*goes off to sulk*

[Kain]

[yourmama1]

[Skater Nobody]

i found keeping a few 0's in my deck helped

[Dragon rage]

Kay, here's the deck I used: note: requires ALOT of CP so be at at what ever level breaks the 2500 CP limit, if possible if not, trial and error.
lvl 9 cards:
3 Kingdom Keys, 2 Wishing Star, 1 olympia, 4 cure, 3 ethers, 2 hi-potions
lvl 8:
3 Kingdom Keys, 3 Three Wishes, 1 Wishing Star, 1 Metal Chocobo, 1 Olympia, 3 lady luck, 1 cure, 1 mega-ether
lvl 7:
3 Kingdom Key, 2 three wishes, 1 crabclaw, 3 pumpkin head, 2 fairy harp, 1 wishing star, 3 lady luck, 1 divine rose, 1 cure, 1 mega-ether, 1 hi-potion
lvl 6:
1 three wishes, 2 crabclaw, 3 pumpkin head, 3 fairy harp, 2 wishing star, 4 olympia, 2 divine rose, 2 cloud, 1 mega-ether
other cards:1 lvl 0 fairy harp, 2 lvl3 metal chocobo, 3 tinkerbells, 2 of them lvl 4 1 lvl 2( for when he's reloading), 1 lvl4 cloud, a lvl5 megalixer, a lvl3 elixer
enemy cards:
Vexen, Air pirate, Jafar, 2 Shadow, and a large body

That should set you up for plenty of combos, healing, defense, and card recovery, if you can't get some of these cards, (mainly the item cards, I'm still looking for a level 9 megalixer!)
well that about covers it from me, let me know if anything else pops up, like not having enough cp to equp the deck I heard from somewhere that the max is supposed to be 1900 or so...
and sorry for how log this post is!

[Valley of Chrome]

Well...i beat him in my first try...but i forgot my deck...i always remember that 0 cards own everything.

[Dark_Rage00]

uhhh.... okay i was too lazy to read that. i just like posting

[HadesDragon]

For the most part, I just used high-level cards (nothing below 7), put in about 4/5 zeros, put I think, 2 high-level cure cards, and I had the help of the Vexen and Oogie Boogie cards.

I used to have loads of trouble with him, but now I can beat him no problem. Just make sure you don't let Dark Aura hit you (break it with a 0), and heal when necessary, and you're set. I also reccomend not using sleights (except for friend card ones), but I'm pretty anti-sleight, so that might not be the best advice...

Don't spam.

Use 7-9 Cure cards, sonic rush would be good and a homing sleight (maybe aa version of strike raid) and about 6 0 cards.
