In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Guard Break is an [[action ability]] exclusive to [[Sora]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It is a ground combo finisher that activates if Sora is attacking a single enemy, or by default if {{c|Explosion|ability}} is not equipped. It allows Sora to pierce a single target's guard with a short, powerful thrust, launching them into the air and dealing Neutral damage.

It allows Sora to pierce a single target's guard with a short, powerful thrust, launching them into the air. The ability's trait of bypassing physical defense stems from it dealing Neutral damage rather than Physical. Guard Break is equal to [[Finishing Leap]] in strength.


In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Lunge 'n' Launch is an ability accessible in [[Second Form]]. It is the form's second ground combo finisher, allowing Sora to perform a powerful thrust, followed by an arcing uppercut that launches enemies skyward.
