Cross Slash, written as "Cross-slash" in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, is a recurring technique associated with Cloud. It allows the user to assault the enemy with three powerful sword strikes which trace out the kanji 凶 (Kyō, lit. "Misfortune").

Cross Slash EX, called Cross Slash+ in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, is a variation that allows the user to warp next to an enemy before continuing with Cross Slash.

Cross Slash EX+ and Chain Slash are two additional variations that appear in Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

Mechanics[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Cross-slash is a Summon Sleight. Using Cross-slash summons Cloud to the battlefield, whereupon he executes a three-hit combo. Although not named, Cross-slash is also the effect of the Cloud Summon card, although he only performs a two-hit combo.

Cross-slash+ is also a Summon Sleight. It summons Cloud to the battlefield, whereupon he warps next to an enemy before using Cross-slash.

In Kingdom Hearts Union χ, Cross Slash is a special attack that targets a single enemy. It costs 3 special attack gauges to perform.

Learning Cross Slash[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]

  • The Cloud card has Cross Slash as its ability.

Other appearances[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Cloud often uses Cross Slash as a boss, where he performs a simple triple slash combo (a downward slash, followed by a right-handed outward slash to an upward lifting slash to his left). Any part of the combo can be deflected with Guard to have Cloud rear back a bit, allowing Sora to get a free combo in.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Cloud can use Cross-slash as a Sleight while fighting Sora. He jumps towards Sora before performing a three-hit combo.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Cloud can use Cross Slash when assisting Sora at the Ravine Trail, and when fought in the Underdrome. In both instances, the attack consists of a three-hit combo.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

Cloud can use Cross Slash when fighting Player to paralyze them.

Origin[edit]

Cross Slash is a recurring attack in the Final Fantasy series, debuting as one of Cloud Strife's initial Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy VII. It is often a prominent ability in his moveset, making appearances in most games in which he appears.
