Attack

Attack (たたかう) is a recurring command in the  series. It is the most basic method of attacking, allowing the user to execute a basic attack with their equipped weapon.

Basic Mechanics
In , Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Attack is set at the top, default position on the command menu.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Attack is assigned to ( in the Japanese versions of the game), and in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, it is assigned to. In these games, Attack may be replaced with Finish Commands, Reaction Commands, or, in the case of Kingdom Hearts 3D, Flowmotion Attacks.

If the initial attack connects with an enemy or other target, Attack can be used repeatedly to execute an attack combo. In most games, a basic combo consists of three strikes, the last of which is a stronger, finishing strike. The number of attacks before the combo finisher can be changed with certain abilities, as can the types of attacks used during the combo or the combo finisher. If any attacks in the combo aside from a finisher do not connect with a target, the combo will end prematurely, unless Combo Master is equipped.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, attack combos and combo finishers are dependant on the equipped weapon. Additionally, a combo will not end if an attack misses. However, a combo may be altered if is pressed when prompted during the course of the combo.

Attack deals damage to enemies.

Ask for Help
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Ask for Help replaces the Attack command while having party members in Hollow Bastion I. It cycles Donald and Goofy's focus between following you, attacking enemies and destroying blox. Donald and Goofy's current focus is displayed using icons, above the Clock Gauge.
