| In this Form, the Ultima Weapon [[Formchange]]s into a rainbow-colored sword with a red heart symbol near the guard. Its blade is split into two segments and is pointed towards the tip. Sora also uses several auxiliary swords that sport various gilded and ornate designs colors, both in offense and defense. Ultimate Form alters Sora's appearance in other worlds:
| | Toy Box Sora is not radically different than his Standard form although his sleeves lack the crowns and his pant legs lack the stripes. |

|
| *In his [[Toy Box]] form, Sora's appearance is mostly the same, however his sleeves lack crowns and his pant legs lack stripes.
| | Monster Sora's jacket changes to the Ultimate Form color scheme and his hair turns white. |

|
| *In his [[Monstropolis]] form, Sora's jacket is of the Ultimate Form color scheme, and his fur and hair are both white.
| | Pirate Sora has crowns on his cuff links, three crowns instead of one on his hat, and his bandana changes from blue to white with swirl patterns. His inner shirt turns white and the insides of his coat tails have a swirl pattern like his pants in his Standard form. |

| In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Ultimate Form is the Formchange of the Ultima Weapon Keyblade. It has a base duration of 30 seconds and a maximum combo length of 6. Its basic combos barrage the enemy with multiple blade that deal high damage. Its [[Teleport]] ability ensures that Sora will always be near the enemy when attacking, as well as providing invincibility while teleporting. Ultimate Form also comes with several powerful defensive abilities such as [[Second Chance]], [[Withstand Combo]], and [[Leaf Bracer]].
| |
| | |
| When in Ultimate Form, certain mobility abilities change as follows:
| |
| *Sora can [[Air Slide]] on the ground outside of combat.
| |
| *When using [[Aerial Dodge]], Sora teleports in the direction of {{button|lana}} and can be used on the ground.
| |
| *If Aerial Dodge is not equipped, Sora can Air Slide in combat on both ground and air even if he does not have it equipped.
| |
| | |
| The Finish command has Sora attack 15 times with countless swords flying around, then releases 7 light pillars in all directions that launch struck enemies.

| ==Strategy== | | ==Strategy== |
| Ultimate Form is the strongest Formchange in terms of raw damage, especially given that the Ultima Weapon comes equipped with [[Combo Boost]] and [[Air Combo Boost]]. The fast and multi-hitting nature of Ultimate Form's blades also complements Ultima Weapon's [[Situation Boost]], giving it a supportive function in building [[Situation Command]]s for other Formchanges and Grand Magic. The attacks themselves have excellent range and have great cancel windows for blocking or dodging incoming attacks. Ultimate Finish is especially devastating, hitting multiple enemies around Sora before unleashing large swords of light that circle around him similar to [[Salvation]]. Sora can teleport towards his targets by pressing the attack button if he is within range and his dodge will be affected based on whether or not [[Aerial Dodge]] is equipped. If equipped, Sora will perform a teleport dodge that covers a similar distance but has greater invulnerability and reaction. Should Aerial Dodge be unequipped, Sora will perform an [[Air Slide]] that covers more distance.
| | {{section-stub}} |
| | |
| Ultimate Form's attacks are hard hitting and do more damage as the length goes on, but it is important for Sora to keep in mind the nature of the attacks themselves. When Sora spins his swords against an enemy, he will send them flying into the air. Sora can choose to continue his combo from there with [[Spiral Drove]], switch to another Keyblade mid combo, or supplement one of his physical attacks with any spell. Following up with Spiral Drove allows Sora to bring down aerial enemies. If too high in the air, the enemy will fall down too far for Sora to follow up with his other combo finishers. At that point, Sora should follow up with an attack that brings him down to the enemy's position such as the [[Hyper Hammer]] or [[Boom Hammer]]'s downward slam or [[Falling Slash]]. All of Ultimate Form's attacks do physical damage only, so equipping magic boosting accessories will not add to its power.
| |
| | |
| Blade Barrier has the same benefits as a normal barrier while in Guardian Form, allowing Sora to block attacks from all angles and cannot be guard broken. [[Second Chance]] and [[Withstand Combo]] are inherent passives when in Ultimate Form and can save Sora if he has not obtained them through leveling up and he cannot be stunned while in it.
| |
| | |
| Ultimate Form has no real major downside and is excellent for any combat scenario. Whether it is for fighting bosses or mob fights, Sora is a force to be reckoned with thanks to his enhanced attack power, magic, high mobility, and defensive capabilities.
