Summon: Difference between revisions

A '''Summon''' is a special character that can be magically called on to aid [[Sora]] in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series. In terms of development, the main purpose of adding Summons was to add characters from Disney movies that weren't already represented by [[world]]s. They have been present in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', although the mechanics differ from game to game. ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' is the first game in the series not to incorporate any form of summons.

{{main|Dimension Link}}

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', a new form of summon featured, known as the [[Dimension Link]] (shortened "D-Link"). Players can draw power from both non-playable characters or summon one of the three main characters wirelessly from other players to aid them in action. While [[Cinderella]], [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], [[Zack|Zack Fair]], [[Stitch|Experiment 626]], [[Donald Duck]], and others are known as the non-playable D-Link characters, [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] are the wireless D-Link characters.

==Mechanics==

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

The Summon menu was given its own slot in the Command Menu in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' because of the inclusion of a second menu that could be accessed during battle. In addition, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' summons no longer require MP to be summoned; they now use the [[Drive Gauge]] to count down their time instead, and again the player must have two friends in battle in order to perform a summon. Each summon behaves differently during combat and has its own [[Limit]].
