Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike (ラックアップ), also translated as Lucky Lucky in Kingdom Hearts II, is an ability which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. In all games, it increases the drop rate of items, and, with the exception of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, this effect can be increased by equipping multiple copies of the ability. In Kingdom Hearts, "Lucky Strike" requires 3 AP to equip, while in Kingdom Hearts II, "Lucky Lucky" requires 5 AP.

In Kingdom Hearts II, there are a maximum of seven Lucky Lucky's that can be equipped (the four belonging to the Sweet Memories, Meteor Staff, Genji Shield, and Lucky Ring, and the three belonging to the party characters). As the Lucky Lucky abilities stack exponentially, this results in an enemy's base drop rates being multiplied by 627.5%.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Lucky Rings can in fact be synthesized, and in "Critical Mode", Roxas starts with two additional Lucky Lucky. However, Lucky Lucky was removed from the weapons which previously contained it, so only seven additional Lucky Lucky can be equipped, for a total of fourteen. Furthermore, the boosts from Lucky Lucky stack linearly instead of exponentially, so this results in a drop rate increase of only 800%. As compensation for this, Sora has an additional Lucky Lucky in Limit Form, which can raise the drop rate increase to 850%.
