Valor Form is a powerful damage-dealer, and is very useful against single targets, such as 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 any Magic, including Cure, so equip Potions and set Donald's behavior to healing-focused whenever Sora uses Valor Form. The lack of Magic, coupled with an inability to Guard, makes Valor Form the weakest Form defense-wise. As such, it is best to take advantage of the increased movement speed and jump height to evade attacks while looking for openings, then quickly moving in to deal 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 contrast, when using the form for combat purposes, it is best to equip the strongest Keyblades available. 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.-->
