'''Dark Break''' is a technique introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. It allows the user to leap into the air and attack enemies from above.

==Mechanics==
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Dark Break is an [[attack sleight]] that Riku can access while in [[Dark Mode]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', attacks are added by pressing {{button|t}} when prompted, while pressing {{button|t}} at the wrong time cancels the sleight.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Dark Break is an {{c|attack command|DDD}} that can be used exclusively by Riku. It allows him to leap into the air and strike enemies from above three times before creating a shockwave upon landing at the third strike. The command takes up one slot in the Command Deck, and it has a reload time of 22 seconds. It grants +2 to [[Strength]] and +10 to Dark Resistance when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'', Dark Break is a [[special attack]] that targets all enemies. It costs 4 special attack gauges to perform.
