'''Master Form''' is a [[Drive Form]] that handles both the [[Keyblade]] and [[magic]] which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It uses both of your [[party members]], and consumes four of [[Sora]]'s Drive Bars. It represents the fusion of [[Valor Form]] and [[Wisdom Form]],<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you possessing all abilities flows into your mind."</ref> and is obtained when Sora reunites with [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] at [[Hollow Bastion]]. Its emblem is a yellow saltire.


'''Master Form''' (マスターフォーム) is a [[Drive Form]] of Sora from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
==Design==
Master Form turns Sora's clothes into a yellow and black color scheme. The symbols on his pants are three black crosses arranged in a fancy overlapping pattern. When in Master Form on any world, pale yellow sparkles constantly fall off Sora and create somewhat of a streak behind him when running. Also, the floating Keyblade is held in place by a yellow aura surrounding Sora's hand and the Keyblade he is physically holding seems to have deep yellow electricity flowing through it.


Earned when you reunite with [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], Master Form is like a hybrid between the [[Valor Form|Valor]] and [[Wisdom Form|Wisdom]] forms [[Sora]] can become, but with a strong focus on aerial attacks.
==Mechanics==
Master Form is a balanced Drive Form that allows Sora to wield two Keyblades, one by hand and the other controlled through telekinesis. It is proficient in both melee combat and magic. This form's fighting style is primarily aerial based since all attacks, both physical combos and offensive magic, raise Sora into the air, which means the form has no ground attacks whatsoever. Physical attacks are fast and powerful finishers provide crowd controls effects, such as stun and magnet. Magic is also modified, as combos can be strung forever, disabling magic finishers, and most spells are empowered or altered. In terms of mobility, Sora runs faster than his normal speed and can double jump using his [[Growth Ability]].


While in this form, Sora wields two Keyblades, however, unlike the Valor Form, the second Keyblade floats in front of his hand while spinning idly.
Master Form gains [[experience]] by collecting [[Drive Orb]]s; one point for each small orb and three points for each large orb. [[Level]]ing up upgrades the form's Growth Ability, [[Aerial Dodge]], for both itself and Sora's standard form. Leveling up Master Form also grants [[Auto Master]] and two [[Air Combo Plus]] [[abilities]] to Sora's standard form.
<br><br>
==Leveling Up==
[[Image:Sora_Master_Form.jpg|left|200px]]
Leveling up Master Form is somewhat easy as gaining EXP prolongs the deplenishing of your drive meter. Sora must collect [[Drive Orb|Drive Orbs]] to gain experience while in this form, and since gaining them boosts the time you have in that form the leveling up quickens. The best place to level up is on the Ridge and Summit in the Land of Dragons. Defeat all the heartless and then use the smallest fireworks and fire (or variants) to blow up the big carts and get drive orbs. when all the drive orbs are obtained, go to the Summit, return as soon as possible and repeat. In addition to that, you can also go to Beast's Castle after the second visit and land in the Parlor. Fight your way through the main hall outside the Parlor, and if you still have Drive time left, go through the West Hall. Another good way to level it up is to equip Sora's Jackpot ability, put one of the two keyblades as the Wishing Lamp, and go through the Antechamber in the [[Land of Dragons]] and use Fire on all of the Heartless that appear. You can get at least 200-250 points each pass. In Final Mix the best place to level up is in the Cavern of Remembrance (the drive ball in every area)


Master Form's growth ability is Aerial Dodge, a second jump performed in midair that is mostly long range, giving Sora little more height, and can deflect projectiles. Sora also gains Air Combo Plus abilities by leveling up this form.

==Other Information==
==Strategy==
Master Form bears a yellow and black color scheme. It is the last drive form that Sora gains through the story, apart from Final Form (which is not given to him by anybody, and the screen showing that a new form has been gained does not appear). The symbols on his pants are three black crosses arranged in a fancy overlapping pattern.
With its aerial fighting style, Master Form is especially useful against airborne enemies. The [[Hero's Crest]] Keyblade is a solid choice for this form due to its [[Air Combo Boost]] ability. Its Disaster finisher is an excellent crowd control attack with its ability to draw in enemies. With its Master Magic ability, Sora is much more mobile when casting offensive magic, allowing for good hit-and-run tactics.

===Growth===
Since Master Form levels by collecting drive orbs, try and fight enemies that drop lots of orbs and can be defeated quickly. If Sora has the [[Drive Converter]] and [[Jackpot]] abilities, which can be acquired through leveling up and by respectively equipping the [[Sweet Memories]] (''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' only) and [[Wishing Lamp]] Keyblades, he can continuously use the Stop Dice and Begin Game [[Reaction Commands]] on [[Gambler]]s to obtain quick drive orbs while in Master Form. The best Keyblades for training Master Form are the more balanced: [[Oathkeeper]], [[Bond of Flame]], and [[Ultima Weapon]]. Hollow Bastion is a great place to train, as well as the [[Land of Dragons]], as the explosives drop drive orbs as well. [[Crimson Jazz]]es and [[Morning Star]]s in particular are good prey. It's wise to avoid using Master Form against bosses, and instead use Valor Form which can be leveled up in the fight. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the balloons within the [[Cavern of Remembrance]] drop Drive Orbs when attacked, making it another solid spot to train Master Form.

----
When using Master Form for proper combat, it is best to equip balanced Keyblades. The [[Fatal Crest]] Keyblade allows Master Form to engage in endless combos due to its [[Berserk Charge]] ability; combined with Master Form's innate Endless Magic ability, Sora becomes able to attack enemies without pause until the Form [[gauge]] depletes.
'''Pros'''<br>
*Powerful finishers, many-hit combos, balanced enhancement of magic and melee.
*Like [[Valor Form|Valor]], his speed is increased, but not as fast as Valor Form.
*While in this form, the use of magic becomes endless allowing you to add magical attacks into combos without reducing the amount of physical attacks you can do, effectively doubling the amount of attacks that can be input before the ending combo.
* Disaster combo finish is great for multiple enemies.
* Fire magic is a thrust that dashes across the field attacking many enemies.
* Thunder Magic traps enemies and does great damage.


'''Cons'''<br>
==Notes and references==
*This form has all-aerial attacks (every first strike executed will launch Sora onto the air), and each hit that makes its mark raises Sora slightly higher into the air. For hitting smaller, grounded, or farther away enemies, this can make it difficult to perform your entire combo.
{{reflist}}
*Both party members will be out of range until this drive form either cancels or ends.
*Blizzard shoots wide and rarely does much damage to a single enemy.


== Representation ==
This form represents Sora's power to master the powers given to him and utilize them both into a mighty force.
==Helpful Hints==
*If you are in midair and an enemy moves away from you, ( Such as [[Cerberus]],) use Fire to chase.
*Thunder moves smoothly into a combo.
*Using Reflect close to an enemy will also damage them with the spinning keyblade.
*Remember that Master form is meant to be a balance of melee and magic. Its combos can become devastating when following up each Keyblade attack with a burst of magic.
*All of Master Forms magical attacks have an extra Keyblade attack hidden within them, which is mostly short range. Use this hidden attack to add damage.
*Since this form focuses on aerial combos, the two best Keyblades would be [[Hero's Crest]] and [[Star Seeker]].
== Trivia ==
*In [[Halloween Town]], Sora's usual mask changes to a combination of the masks provided by [[Valor Form]] and [[Wisdom Form]], a half of each with a large stitch in the middle.
*In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]'' in [[Christmas Town]], when Sora uses Master Form a gold cross appears on his Santa hat.
*In [[Space Paranoids]], Sora's circuit lines on his [[Data Form]] turn yellow.
*The status screen describes Master Form as "A Form that handles both the Keyblade and magic."
