As any fan of the series knows, Keyblades are the main weapon wielded by both darkness and light. As such, there are plenty of different variations players can obtain in the game.

When you have chosen your three equips for battle, the next step is making sure your selector is on Attack. Once it is active, hit left or right on the d-pad to switch between them.

While this may seem simple, there are a few tricks to doing this that’ll help you strategize. The main one that comes to mind is that you can switch between Keyblades on thed-pad mid-transformation.

Switching mid-transformation will still allow you to hold the change for the Keyblade you had equipped.

If you want to change your equipped weapons, simply bring up the main menu, choose Equipment, then select Sora to change out his Keyblade loadout.

Now that you are armed with a deadly weapon and the knowledge to use it, the darkness doesn’t stand a chance. That is everything you need to know about how to change your Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts 3.
