Things Kingdom Hearts 3 Doesn’t Tell You
Magic Changes With Your Keyblade Form
Keyblade Formchanges are the biggest addition to Kingdom Hearts 3’s combat system, allowing you to transform Sora’s Keyblades into entirely new weapons like a massive hammer or dual arrow guns.
They allow for huge variation on combat, especially since you can equip three at a time, but what isn’t immediately obvious is that these Formchanges can also affect your magic.
Depending on the weapon, the nature of magic can change. For example, if you have the dual arrow guns with the Star Seeker Keyblade using a spell like Fire or Thunder will now shoot out four projectiles that track enemies.
Meanwhile, if you use the Hyper Hammer with the Favorite Deputy Keyblade, Fire and Thunder will now spin around Sora in a more defensive, close-range way.
This helps provide even more incentive to try out each Keyblade and see which ones you want to combine.
