Sleight

Sleight (from "sleight of hand"; ストック技 sutokku-gi, "stock technique" in the Japanese versions) is the term used to refer to certain three-card combinations in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. They are learned by either Sora or Riku. Sleights may be learned upon level-up, or they may be acquired through story events (as in the case of Trinity Limit). More powerful than single-card attacks, magic, or summons, sleights are often used in boss battles. Each sleight has a specific value it must equal, or have certain cards used to activate it. Also, the first card of a sleight will be unavailable to use for the remainder of the battle unless an Elixir or Megalixir is used, meaning that constant sleights will reduce the size of a deck. A player can activate a 2 card sleight on one condition. Instead of selecting a third card, selecting the reload card will activate the sleight, regardless of the number of cards. However, most sleights will not activate this way, as a sleight will often call for exactly 3 cards. Thereby, this will result in the 2 cards being used for their original use, although the number total is still combined (making this a good tool for Reverse/Rebirth, in which a low card deck could still activate Dark mode).

Attack Sleights
Attack sleights are formed by combining 3 Attack Cards.

Magic Sleights
Magic sleights are formed from 2-3 Magic Cards. See the Magic page for information regarding naming conventions and spell levels.

Riku's Sleights
Riku does not learn sleights upon reaching a certain level. Rather, he has access to four sleights throughout the entire game, unless Dark Mode has not been activated or he does not have access to a King Mickey Friend Card. As a result, MM Miracle is the only sleight Riku can activate outside of Dark Mode. In Re:Chain of Memories, Riku is also able to use Holy Burst and three Duel sleights outside of Dark Mode.
