The Struggle Bats are weapons which appear in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. They are the defining weapon of the Struggle, used by its participants as well as by Roxas as he explores Twilight Town during his vacations.

Immediately before Roxas's first Struggle battle in Kingdom Hearts II, he is given the chance to choose between three different styles of Struggle Bat, in a manner similar to his and Sora's choice between the Dream Sword, Shield, and Rod within their Dive to the Heart. Rather than determining the path of growth that Roxas will take, choosing between them will only grant Roxas an immediate stat boost in one category. Choosing the sword grants Roxas +1 to STR, the hammer +1 to DEF, and the wand +1 to MAG.

The Struggle Sword is the standard Struggle Bat used by Roxas's and Sora's Struggle opponents, as well as by Roxas when he takes a vacation at Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design

The Struggle Bats are constructed from a blue, NERF-like foam mounted on a golden handle which appears similar to plastic.

The Struggle Sword is meant for dealing fast, powerful strikes. It is simple in design, with a straight golden handle that curves to a 90° angle at the pommel, and a thick blue "blade" extending from the guard, which is similar in width to the blade itself.

The Struggle Hammer is meant for guarding against attacks. Its "blade" is similar to that of the sword, but the handle is thinner, and there is a wide, moon-shaped hand guard that wraps from the hilt around the hand, similar to a rapier. This bat also has a thick and slightly more ornate pommel.

The Struggle Wand is meant for dealing powerful finishing moves and deliberate strikes. It has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that serves as its striking surface.

-'''Struggle Bats '''are the primary weapon of [[Twilight Town]]'s [[Struggle]] competition during both [[Roxas]]'s and [[Sora]]'s story of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. They also act as a basic means of self-defense for Twilight Town's residents, as seen in [[Seifer]] utilizing it.

-==Styles==
+Immediately before Roxas's first Struggle battle in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is given the chance to choose between three different styles of Struggle Bat, in a manner similar to his and Sora's choice between the [[Dream Sword]], [[Dream Shield|Shield]], and [[Dream Rod|Rod]] within their [[Dive to the Heart]]. Rather than determining the path of growth that Roxas will take, choosing between them will only grant Roxas an immediate stat boost in one category. Choosing the sword grants Roxas +1 to STR, the hammer +1 to DEF, and the wand +1 to MAG.
-In the [[Simulated Twilight Town]] before Roxas's first Struggle battle, Roxas must select which Struggle Bat he will use in the following rounds. Picking the Struggle weapon (staff, sword, etc.) is a call-back to choosing between [[Dream Sword]], [[Dream Rod]], and [[Dream Shield]] in the Awakening sequence in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''; unlike ''Kingdom Hearts'', however, the Struggle Bat only gives a bonus to a particular stat and will not dictate the order Sora will learn his [[Ability|abilities]] in.
-===Struggle Sword===
+The Struggle Sword is the standard Struggle Bat used by Roxas's and Sora's Struggle opponents, as well as by Roxas when he takes a vacation at Twilight Town in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
-The Struggle Sword is the most commonly used bat, wielded by all opponents in the Struggle matches. It is simple in design—having only a straight golden handle that curves to a 90° angle at the pommel, and a thick blue "blade" extending from the thin "guard," that barely extends past the diameter of the blade.
-This bat is for those who favor strength in battle, giving a +1 STR bonus when chosen, and is easier to use in fast, powerful strikes.

-The Struggle Hammer is one of the two Struggle bats that only Roxas can use. The "blade" is similar to that of the sword, but the handle is thinner, and there is a wide, moon-shaped hand guard that wraps from the hilt around the hand, similar to a rapier. This bat also has a thick and slightly more ornate pommel.
-This bat is designed for finesse and defense. It gives a +1 DEF boost when chosen, and is best for guarding against attacks.

-===Struggle Wand===
+The Struggle Wand is meant for dealing powerful finishing moves and deliberate strikes. It has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that serves as its striking surface.
-The {{nihongo|Struggle Wand|ストラグルワンド|Sutoraguru Wando}} is the other Struggle bat that only Roxas can use. This bat is quite different from the other two in that, rather than having a short gold handle and a long blue "blade" used for fighting, the staff has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that acts as the weapon.
-This bat is made to accommodate magical abilities. When chosen, it gives a +1 MAG boost to Roxas. It provides balance for good finishing moves and powered attacks. It is unknown if this bat has any magical abilities, but it seems to be more in the ways of [[Donald Duck|Donald's]] staves and magic wands. This, along with the [[Yen Sid]]-like star motif, makes it a likely candidate for channeling magic.
-==Composition==
-{{q|It's no use...|Roxas, using a struggle bat to fight the Nobodies in Twilight Town}}
-While the material composing the Struggle Bats is not confirmed, it is highly likely that they are made out of a {{w|Nerf|NERF}}-like foam, due to their use in a children's game. The handle is sturdy and golden in color, and also of an unconfirmed substance. Whatever they are in fact made of, Struggle Bats are completely ineffective against [[Nobody|Nobodies]].
