Valor Form is a powerful damage-dealer, and is very useful against tough enemies and bosses. While in Valor Form, Sora moves at twice his normal speed{{fact}}, and becomes able to perform finishers at any time using the "Omega Finale" attack. His rapid slashes can block enemy attacks, and can sometimes stun the enemies as well. However, Sora also becomes unable to cast Cure, so equip Potions and set Donald's behavior to healing whenever Sora uses Valor Form.

Equipping [[Decisive Pumpkin]] and [[Sleeping Lion]] is an effective strategy due to their [[Combo Boost]] and [[Combo Plus]] abilities respectively, or alternatively, especially during certain boss fights, [[Hero's Crest]] and [[Star Seeker]] for [[Air Combo Boost]] and [[Air Combo Plus]]. [[Rumbling Rose]] could also be equipped alongside Decisive Pumpkin or Hero's Crest thanks to its [[Finishing Plus]] ability; with the boosted damage of the finisher, and two of them, one combo from this form can yield up to 3/4 to 1 1/4 bars of damage.
Since Valor Form levels by dealing hits, and not by defeating enemies, try to keep enemies alive while training Valor Form. The best Keyblades for training Valor Form are the [[Sweet Memories]] and [[Oathkeeper]]; the [[Star Seeker]] and its [[Air Combo Plus]] are a good substitute for the Oathkeeper if it is unavailable. The Morning Star and Crimson Jazz Heartless, which appear together at [[Hollow Bastion]] and [[Beast's Castle]], are the best enemies to train against, as they have high stamina, but are also easy to disrupt with Valor Form's attacks and drop a large amount of Drive Form Orbs when defeated. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', both [[Mushroom XIII No. 5]] and [[Mushroom XIII No. 11]] allow Sora to deal a large amount of hits while being close to a save point, allowing him to quickly refill his Drive Gauge. If defeated, they will also drop some [[Drive Recovery]] items.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', another useful strategy is to defeat [[Mushroom XIII No. 5]] in [[Agrabah]], as Sora has an opportunity to attack the enemy endlessly until the form gauge hits 0. Normally, one round of this can yield anywhere from 80-200 experience, and if defeated, will drop one to two [[Drive Recovery]] items, which makes it easy to repeat the battle.
When using the form, the damage dealt can be maximized by equipping the [[Decisive Pumpkin]], [[Sleeping Lion]], [[Hero's Crest]], [[Star Seeker]], or [[Rumbling rose]], due to their [[Combo Boost]], [[Combo Plus]], [[Air Combo Boost]], [[Air Combo Plus]], and [[Finishing Plus]] abilities, respectively.
