Weapons (KHIII)

Weapons (武器, Buki) are a type of equipment in Kingdom Hearts III. Sora can equip up to three Keychains for his Keyblade and can switch Keychains on the fly by pressing or while the cursor is on Attack. He can also upgrade his Keychains at the Keyblade Forge from a minimum of Level 0 up to Level 10. Each Keychain begins at a certain level when obtained; Keychains carried over into New Game Plus all begin at Level 0. Party members can only equip one weapon at a time, which cannot be upgraded; Donald and Goofy can choose from a variety of weapons.
