Strike Raid

Strike Raid is a special ability present in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. it is learned after completing the Pegasus Cup in Olympus for the first time. Sora can execute this ability through Limit Form in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, as it is one of four abilities to return as a combo finisher in this Drive Form. Ven has been seen using a similar ability in Birth By Sleep game play footage.


 * It should be noted that Sora sustains no damage when the keyblade is thrown out.

Strike Raid

Description: Sora hurls his Keyblade at a locked on enemy in a boomerang fashion, damaging and making the enemy recoil slightly.

MP Cost: 2

Effect: When far away from a locked on enemy, Sora's last command on the bar will change in to Strike, pressing it will allow Sora to hurl his keyblade. It will strike the enemy and then fly back into Sora hands. If Sora is not interrupted during the first throw, Raid will replace the last box. A total of three Raids can be executed to connect the combo. After successfully executing three Raids, Judgment will replace Raid. Pressing it will make Sora reel back and throw the Keyblade with both hands, dealing large damage to any enemy struck by it and ending the combo.

Trivia

 * The Judgment Sleight is based off the Judgment command used with Strike Raid.
 * Final Form can also perform something like a raid when attacking a distant target.
 * Riku uses a very similar attack in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, in his Duel Sleight Barrage.
