Drive Form: Difference between revisions

==Mechanics==

Entering a Drive Form immediately refills Sora's HP and MP Gauges, but more visibly, it gives his outfit a style bearing the color and symbols of that Form, while replacing his normal Action and Growth abilities with a new list of Action, Growth, and Support abilities, while retaining his equipped Support abilities. These changes can go so far as to grant dual [[Keyblade]] wielding or variations of Sora's [[Magic]] spells. Excluding AntiForm, each Form can gain unique experience through a specific method while the Form is active. The maximum level for each Form starts at 3 when Valor Form is obtained, then rises by 1 with each new Form unlocked until Final Form, where the maximum is raised to 7 across the board. In addition, every Form has an associated Growth ability that grows as the form does, and, with the exception of AntiForm, upgrading the Form's Growth ability allows Sora to use that ability in his Standard Form, albeit at a lower level.

==Story==

In the room where Sora receives his new clothes, hints to future Drive Forms that he will receive later on can be found by examining the mirrors - each of the five mirrors around the room describes the abilities of one of Sora's original five Drive Forms, including his AntiForm. It should be noted that in ''Final Mix'', an extra mirror is added for Limit Form.

==Forms==

There are six Drive Forms in total. All but one can be triggered on command from the list of Forms within the Command Menu, while the last, AntiForm, is a penalty form that randomly activates if the basic Drive Forms are used in excess.

'''[[AntiForm]]''', unlike the other forms, can only be activated randomly, and is essentially a penalty form triggered by overuse of the basic Drive Forms. It specializes in fast, bestial attacks using Sora's claws, but lacks the ability to cast spells, guard, recover HP, use the Keyblade, and use Reaction Commands. The likelihood of activating AntiForm is governed by Anti Points, a hidden counter that increases when any form aside from Anti or Final Form is used. In this form, Sora takes on the appearance of a Pureblood Heartless, with yellow eyes, and a dark mist rising from its body. It uses both partners, consumes the entire Drive Gauge, and can only be exited if there are no enemies in the field or when the Form Gauge is depleted. This is the only form that cannot level up.
