1. INTRODUCTION

Hi, my name is Litz5522. Well, that's obvious. Anyway it's been about two months
since Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories came out. I got the game on Christmas 
and I was so glad that I could finally play the sequel of one of the most genius
games ever in full english. The game kept me busy for a long time. I decided 
that  once I beat Sora's Story Mode if there was no  Sleight Guide on 
GameFAQs, I would write one knowing that they would accept it. And look 
two months and  still no sleight guide! I think I have all of the sleights in 
my game if I am missing one please send me an E-mail at [email protected] 
giving me the name, description,  requirements and location of the sleight and 
I will put it on the guide ASAP. Also if you have any questions contact me.


2. VERSION INFORMATION

Version 1.0 - I put every sleight I know into the guide and sent a request 
for the guide to be on GameFAQs. So If you are reading this, hooray for 
me they accepted!


3. BASICS OF SLEIGHTS

In Kingdom Hearts: COM you may or may not know that Sora can no 
longer use his abilities from the first game as he's forgotten them the 
instant he stepped into Castle Oblivion. Donald and Goofy also can 
no longer help him in battle. A mysterious cloaked figure explains all of 
this and tells the heroes that their abilities are now in the cards. So 
what happened to those cool looking attacks Sora can pull off like 
Sonic Blade and Ars Arcanum. Well in battle you can "stock" three 
of any cards except enemy cards to pull of a combo. To stock a card, 
in battle press L and R at the same time when the card you want to stock 
is highlighted. You can stock up to two more cards and depending on what 
cards you use, you can do a different sleight. Finally, when the proper cards 
have been stocked the sleight name will appear next to the stocked 
cards. Press L and R once more to activate them. Sleights are like and card 
you use If an opponent uses (a) card(s) higher leveled than the sleight, it 
is broken. Also, a level zero card can break any sleight. And another 
addition to make it so you are using a sleight over and over every turn, 
everytime you pull of a three-card sleight, the first card is removed from
battle, so use your sleights sparingly and wisely. Some items can reload lost 
cards so sleight users should have some good items in their deck.

Here are some cards that can help you in sleights:

Riku - When you use a sleight, all cards can be reloaded. Works for 
5 sleights. ( CP-80 )
Location: Defeat Riku IV in Sora's story mode

Marluxia - Use a sleight twice in a row. Works for 3 sleights. ( CP-99 )
Location: Defeat Marluxia I in Sora's story mode

Ansem - Opponents can't see stocked cards. Works for 10 sleights. ( CP-60 )
Location: Complete Reverse/Rebirth mode and find it in a chest in Castle 
Oblivion in Sora's story mode.


4. TYPES OF SLEIGHTS 

  A. Attack Sleights
Uses keyblade cards ( red ) of differing types or same types to pull off fun 
and cool looking attacks. Probably the most useful of the sleight types.

  B. Magic Sleights
Uses magic cards ( blue ) of the same and different types to pull off 
powerful magic attacks  that do special effects or elemental 
damage to  the target. A truly useful set of sleights but the most 
extensive set of sleights. 

  C. Friend Sleights
Uses Summon cards ( blue ) and friend cards ( green ) of same and 
different types to have allies fight alongside you. They are used a 
lot throughout the game but later on should be removed for a more 
attack based deck.

  D. Dark Sleights
Uses Riku's Soul Eater cards to pull of insanely powerful sleights. 
Only avalible when Riku is in Dark Mode.
