The Valor Form is easy to level up compared to the other forms in the game. It levels up simply by landing successful hits on an enemy, and Valor Form is noted for very quick but powerful combos.

It is possible to level up Valor Form to LV3 easily almost as soon as it has been obtained. After leaving [[Hollow Bastion]], clear the route to [[Beast's Castle]] and, after seeing [[Beast]] take his rose from the parlor, head out into the main hallway. Drive into Valor Form, and defeat all the [[Hook Bat|Hook Bats]]: three in the center, four near the door to the courtyard, and three at the top of the stairs. Then quickly return to the parlor before the [[Drive Gauge]] runs out and exit to the World Map. Upon re-entering the world, the Drive Gauge will be re-filled to max. Simply repeat this as many times as desired, but note that you cannot level up the form higher than lv3 at this stage.

For leveling up past LV3, go to the [[Land of Dragons]], after having beaten all the episodes. Start from the Throne Room, and go to the Antechamber, moving along until your Drive Gauge reaches 1, then returning to the [[Save Point]] before you've reverted from Valor Form, exiting to the World Map, and coming back with a full Drive Gauge. If you transform in the Throne Room, you will have zero chance of transforming into Anti-Form. With Drive Boost and the high form gauge that Valor is known for, you can easily travel to the Village and back.

Another way to level up Valor Form would be to go to Hollow Bastion and start in Merlin's house. Go out, and before encountering Heartless, change into Valor Form. Defeat all Heartless there if the Drive would last that amount of time, than quickly enter Merlin's house and exit, then enter again. There is a good amount of Heartless in the area, making Hollow Bastion's town area a good place to level up.


By leveling up the Valor Form, Sora will develop the ability High Jump, which allows him to jump at previously unreachable heights. Sora also gains Combo Up abilities by leveling up this form.

*Magic is disabled, thus no long range magic such as Thunder or Blizzard to finish off an enemy from far away, nor healing magic, is available. However, this can be negated should Donald serve as a healer; still, Donald may not always heal in time.
