It costs 2 {{AP}} to equip. In contrast to [[Retaliating Slash]], [[Sora]] is granted brief invulnerability when performing Aerial Recovery, and can parry enemy attacks.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Aerial Recovery is an [[ability panel]] that can be leveled up from '''Aerial Recovery LV1''' to '''Aerial Recovery LV2''' and '''Aerial Recovery LV3''' by linking {{nihongo|'''A.

At higher levels it can be activated more quickly after taking a hit and the user recovers movement and action capability faster afterwards.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Aerial Recovery is a [[Bonus Booster]] ability that is triggered by pressing {{button|dsb}} after getting knocked back.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Aerial Recovery is a {{c|reprisal command|DDD}} that is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} after getting knocked back. It can be equipped in place of a Payback-type command. It grants +1 to [[Defense]] when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe.
