Re:Coded makes use of a unique system for character growth by using a few subcategories of what is known as a Matrix. Each Matrix deals with an aspect of Sora's character development and status. | Re:Coded makes use of a unique system for character growth by using a few subcategories of what is known as a Matrix.

The Status Matrix handles | The Status Matrix handles Sora's level growth and abilities. Similar to Final Fantasy X's Sphere Grid, you progress on a line of circuitry within the matrix, whose paths are segmented into blocks. Throughout Sora's quest, he'll receive panels like Strength Ups or Magic Ups that can be placed in those blocks, amplifying the applicable stats, and progressing further through the matrix. At each level up, you will also gain a Level Up panel, similar to 358/2 Days, that will grant Sora a boost to all his stats. Scattered all throughout the matrix are ability panels, which when the line of active circuitry connects to one, you will gain abilities like Scan, Combo Plus, and Dodge Roll. Extra slots for your Command deck are also acquired through the Status Matrix. As you progress through the game, the matrix will expand, offering branching paths of circuitry to follow sometimes with beneficial abilities at their ends. It should be noted that any panels placed onto the matrix cannot be removed, yet, as long as an empty circuit is lit up, you can place a panel in it, even it's not a part of the previously expanded circuitry path. | ||

The Command Matrix is where you install Sora's special skills and items to be used in battle. Although sharing many similarities with Birth by Sleep's incarnation, the Command Matrix allows for mixing and matching commands without a permanent result. By installing a command, you can then supplement it with another skill, producing differing effects, like adding a Fire spell to add the element to the command itself. When the commands have both been leveled up to their maximum level, denoted by a '''''!''''', you can use the conversion process to permanently fuse the two skills for their end result, allowing the command to increase to a higher level, and subsequently be used in further supplementation. The Command Matrix also has a "Memory" capacity, which restricts the creation of a deck comprised of high-powered Commands. At the beginning of the game, Sora starts off with three Command Slots, but gains more as you progress through certain circuitry in the Status Matrix. | The Command Matrix is where you install Sora's special skills and items to be used in battle.

The Decoration Matrix handles Sora's equipment, split into "Keyblade" and "Accessory." Throughout the game, Sora will gain new keyblades that increases his damage output, but each weapon can also be supplemented with different Overclock programs, which grant differing passive abilities and a unique finisher. Accessories are equipped in a similar fashion like the rest of the series, with each granting special bonuses to HP percentage or resistance to certain elements, or other benefits. More Accessory Slots can be acquired through progression on the Status Matrix. | The Decoration Matrix handles Sora's equipment, split into "Keyblade" and "Accessory."
