Strike Raid

Strike Raid (ストライクレイド) is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It is a ranged attack that allows the user to hurl the Keyblade at enemies.

Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Strike Raid is a Special Ability that lets the user throw the Keyblade up to five times, summoning the Keyblade back to his hand after each toss. Selecting the Strike command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional three attacks can be added by selecting the Raid command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting the Judgment command when it appears, making a total of five attacks. The ability costs 3 AP to equip and 2 MP to use.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Strike Raid is an Action Ability that can be accessed from the Limit menu while in Limit Form. It lets the user throw the Keyblade up to five times, summoning the Keyblade back to his hand after each toss. After the initial attack, an additional three attacks can be added by executing the Raid Reaction Command each time it appears, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed with the Judgment Reaction Command when it appears. HP Gain causes each successful hit to restore HP. The ability costs 65 MP to use.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Strike Raid is an Attack Sleight. It lets the user throw the Keyblade once, with it returning like a boomerang. The attack damages and stuns enemies on impact. The move, like Sonic Blade, was toned down in damage. But unlike the Sonic Blade, Strike Raid did not improve in damage amount in the remake, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it is a Basic Attack Command available to Terra, Ventus, and Aqua that lets the user throw the Keyblade once, with it returning like a boomerang. The attack damages and stuns enemies on impact. It takes up one slot, has a maximum level of 3, has a normal reload time of 10 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%.

Through out the usage, Strike Raid renders Sora completely invincible, making it one of the most solid limits in the series.
