The Ability system in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is highly similar to that of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Passive abilities are managed from the Abilities menu, as active abilities are implemented through the Deck Command system.

The Abilities list is divided into Stat Abilities, Support Abilities, and Spirit Abilities. In order to equip abilities, the player must unlock them from their Spirit Dream Eaters' Ability Link maps. Stat Abilities are only in effect while the Spirit with that ability in their map is in Sora or Riku's party, while Support and Spirit abilities can be freely activated and deactivated after being unlocked.
