Explosion (ability)

Explosion (エクスプロージョン) is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It allows the user to generate a blast of magic that damages surrounding enemies.

Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts II, Explosion is an action ability that provides Sora with a ground combo finisher in which he brings down his Keyblade, generating a revolving circle of exploding orbs of light. The damage inflicted on enemies depends on the stat. It costs 3 to equip. The ability mostly works if Sora is surrounded by enemies when performing a ground combo.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Explosion is a Level 5. The user charges energy briefly before slamming his or her Keyblade down, creating a large rippling shockwave of light that stuns foes.
