{{Nihongo|'''Shotlock'''|シュートロック|Shūto Rokku|lit. "Shoot Lock"}} is a technique in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.

{{Nihongo|'''Shotlock'''|シュートロック|Shūtorokku|lit. "Shoot Lock"}} is a combat system for Terra, Aqua, and Ventus that debuted in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It is initiated by holding L and R. The user enters first person mode and locks on to enemies. When the maximum amount of enemies are locked on to, the user then initiates a powerful magic-based attack that hits all targeted enemies without fail. Using a Shotlock uses up the [[Focus Gauge]], which can be refilled by attacking enemies and using Ethers. Most of the Shotlocks in the game can be learned by all three Keyblade wielders, but they also get several that are unique to themselves.


There are three basic types of Shotlocks that can be categorized based on the type of button input. One involves pressing the {{button|c}} button repeatedly while the user fires many blasts of magic. Another involves the user dashing around surrounded by an elemental aura and ending with the player putting in the right combination to generate large pillars of magic. The last form involves timing and pressing the {{button|c}} button as a ring lines up with another, this usually has the user firing blasts of different magic in rounds similar to Ragnarok.
==Mechanics==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
[[File:Treasure - Shotlock.png]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', a Shotlock is initiated by holding down {{button|L1}} and {{button|R1}} simultaneously (or just {{button|R1}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]''). The user enters a targeting mode and locks onto enemies, and by pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version), the user then initiates a powerful attack that hits all targeted enemies. By locking onto the maximum amount of enemies, additional attacks can be added by following on-screen prompts. The amount of time the user has to lock onto targets depends on the [[Focus Gauge]], which empties when the attack is initiated and can be refilled by attacking enemies and using Ethers. The rate at which the locking on occurs varies with each Shotlock and increases with level. Most of the Shotlocks in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' can be learned by all three Keyblade wielders, although there are some that are unique for each character.


==Shotlock==
Shotlocks can be divided into four types of attacks:
{|class="wikitable" width="100%"
*Projectile-type Shotlocks, like [[Meteor Shower]], allow the user to launch a barrage of projectiles one after the other that home in on targets. Class A additional inputs can be used to add extra projectiles.
|-bgcolor="#87ceeb"
*Salvo-type Shotlocks, like [[Ragnarok]], allow the user to charge energy into the tip of the Keyblade, before sending a burst of projectiles at targets. Class C additional inputs can be used to fire multiple salvos.
|style="text-align:center"|'''Name'''
*Rush-type Shotlocks, like [[Photon Charge]], allow the user to rush around the field, striking enemies in passing. Class B additional inputs are used to perform powerful diving strikes, except for [[Lightning Ray]], which uses Class A additional inputs to add extra rushes.
|style="text-align:center"|'''TVA'''
*Unique-type Shotlocks have a different attack for each Shotlock. These Shotlocks include each character's ultimate Shotlock, and [[Dark Link]], used during Ventus's fight with Vanitas. Terra's [[Ultima Cannon]] uses Class C inputs, while Ventus's [[Multivortex]] and Aqua's [[Lightbloom]] use Class D inputs for extra attacks. When using Dark Link, Class A inputs are required to hit Vanitas.
|style="text-align:center"|'''Max Locks'''
 
|style="text-align:center"|'''Damage Type'''
Each Shotlock can be enhanced by performing a certain action to add extra attacks. There are four methods of adding extra attacks, which determine the Shotlock's class:
|style="text-align:center"|'''Max LVL.'''
*{{nihongo|'''Class A'''|ボタン連打|Botan Renda|lit. "Button Barrage"}} Shotlocks involve pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version) rapidly.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', a Shotlock is initiated by holding down {{button|R1}}. The user enters a targeting mode and locks onto enemies, and the Shotlock begins by pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version). Triggering a Shotlock slows down time for the duration of the Focus gauge's depletion, allowing the player to maximize the number of lock-ons while minimizing damage and interference. [[Prism Rain]] is the only Shotlock available.

===General===


===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the mechanics are similar to ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''. Shotlocks are now tied to Keyblades, and each Keyblade has a certain amount of Shotlocks. Most Keyblades have two Shotlocks, one activated with an incomplete lock and another with a max lock. However, [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Destiny's Embrace]] each have just one Shotlock activated with one lock, [[Shooting Star]] and [[Hunny Spout]]'s max-level Shotlocks depend on whether a max lock was used on a single target or a group of enemies, and [[Master's Defender]] and [[Braveheart]]'s Shotlocks only prompt additional attacks when used at max lock similar to previous games. Visually, all of Sora's max-level Shotlocks implement the corresponding Keyblade's [[Formchange]], with his clothes transforming into the corresponding Form for the duration of the Shotlock. As in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', time is slowed while locking onto enemies; however, timers, such as the ones seen in minigames, as well as the Doom counter used by [[Game:Marluxia|Marluxia's Replica Data]], will still run at normal speed. The [[Airstep]] Flowmotion technique is also executed from the Shotlock menu by pressing {{button|s}}.

===[[Ventus]]===
==Other appearances==
{|class="wikitable" width="100%"
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
|-bgcolor="#87ceeb"
During the last stage of the final battle between Ventus and Vanitas, [[Vanitas]] uses a Shotlock called "[[Dark Cannon]]", in which Vanitas fires a beam of dark energy, augmented by a rotating triangle of blue crystals. Through his D-Link with Vanitas, Ventus gains a gold-colored version of the same Shotlock, named "[[Dark Link]]", which he can use to combat Vanitas's Dark Cannon. The secret boss, [[Vanitas Remnant]], can also use Dark Cannon, but the attack cannot be countered.

|{{nihongo|'''Multi Vortex'''|マルチボーテックス|Maruchi Bōtekkusu}}
|Light
|Ventus's most powerful Shotlock. Ventus starts by slashing in all directions multiple times before spinning and creating a giant tornado filled with shooting stars.
|-bgcolor="#e6e6fa"
|{{nihongo|'''Pulse Bomb'''|パルスボム|Parusu Bomu}}
|
|Ventus holds his keyblade backhanded and sends out energy from the light of the Keyblade, causing many small explosions. The orbs created slightly resemble those used in [[Sephiroth (Boss)|Sephiroth]]'s Shadow Flare attack in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
|-bgcolor="#e6e6fa"
|{{nihongo|'''Dark Link'''|ダークオブリンク |Dāku Obu Rinku|lit. "Dark of Link"}}
|Darkness (50%) Light (50%)
|Ventus creates three crystals that concentrate together into a giant beam of light energy. Ventus and Vanitas take aim at one another, Vanitas firing a beam of blue energy while Ventus counters with a gold one of his own. Different buttons must be rapidly tapped, and even the analog stick may need to be rotated in order to win the grapple. Used only in Ventus's final battle against Vanitas.

===[[Aqua]]===
The Vanitas Remnant also utilizes a unique Shotlock during the battle against it. Vanitas Remnant takes an identical position as when using Dark Cannon, and surrounds itself in a black ball before shooting out copies of itself which make one slash before freezing in place.

|{{nihongo|'''Lightbloom'''|シャイニーブルーム|Shainī Burūmu|lit. "Shiny Bloom"}}
|Light
|Aqua's strongest Shotlock. She twirls on the spot while shooting many orbs of white light. As it progresses, her spinning becomes more and more elaborate until she is spinning with one of her legs behind her head.

===[[Vanitas]] and [[Vanitas's Lingering Spirit‎]]===
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''===
{|class="wikitable" width="100%"
The [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]] utilizes a Shotlock against [[Riku]] during the final battle. When Riku absorbs his Dream Eaters to counter, the rest of the battle involves the two of them rushing against each other until one of them is knocked out.

|During the last stage of the final battle between Ventus and Vanitas, Vanitas uses a Shotlock called "Dark Cannon", in which Vanitas fires a beam of blue energy, augmented by a rotating triangle of blue crystals. Through his D-Link with Vanitas, Ventus gains a gold-colored version of the same Shotlock, named "Dark of Link," which he uses to combat Vanitas's Dark Cannon. The secret boss, Vanitas's Lingering Spirit‎, can also use Dark Cannon, but the attack is not countered by either Terra, Ventus, or Aqua.
