The Vortex is a set of Lances that can be wielded by Xaldin in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Vortex+.

Design

A Vortex lance's shaft is silver in the center and black on the ends. The two colors are divided by small, gold rings. The lower blade of the lance is blue and has a simple arrowhead shape. The upper blade is larger and wider than the lower one, and is also two-pronged. this blade is blue as well.

A "vortex" is a spinning flow of mass, referring to the way Xaldin wields his lances. Tornadoes and hurricanes are types of vortexes, a reference to Xaldin's attribute of wind.

Gameplay

Vortex's ground combo starts with a thrust of all six lances forwards, followed by a star-shaped shockwave being emitted from the tips of the lances and ends with a scissor-like attack, where all six lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves.

The aerial combo consists of a curved, downward diagonal slash using one lance, followed by a thrust of all six lances forwards at once in a pointed, star-like shape.
