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 II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It is a ranged attack that allows the user to hurl the Keyblade at enemies. In Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the user can throw the Keyblade up to five times, summoning the Keyblade back to his hand before 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. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, these commands are implemented as Reaction Commands, and successful hits restore HP. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the user throws the Keyblade once, and it returns like a boomerang. The attack damages and stuns enemies on impact.

In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Strike Raid is an special ability that costs 3 AP to equip and 2 MP to use. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it is a Limit command that costs 65 MP to use. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, it is an Attack Sleight. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it is a Basic Attack Command available to Terra, Ventus, and Aqua that 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.
