| {{nihongo|'''Abilities'''|アビリティ|Abiriti}} are equippable skills or effects that appear in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' games. Abilities may be acquired and equipped in different ways, depending on the game in which they appear.
| | An '''Ability''' is a special upgrade that you receive for leveling up in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' games. Abilities can also be obtained upon completing certain chapters in the game. |

| Abilities may be categorized in a number of different ways, but the two main types are action abilities and passive abilities. Action abilities may affect weapon combos, such as {{c|Vortex|ability}} or [[Aerial Finish]], or grant whole new skills that can be used in the field, such as [[Dodge Roll]] or [[Guard]]. Passive abilities have a variety of effects, such as boosting damage dealt to enemies, enhancing weapon combos or other action abilities, and making it easier to pick up items dropped by enemies. | | Abilities are split into three categories: '''Support''', '''Action''', and '''Growth'''. Support abilities are usually abilities that make your character stronger either offensively or defensively by upgrading your Attack, [[Defense]], or [[Magic]]. |
| | Action abilities are abilities that usually give you a new technique, by pressing a button or is automatically done after a combo. |
| | [[Sora]] has a different type of abilities in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' that only he can learn. They are called Growth abilities. They are abilities that help Sora move around faster or allow him to dodge attacks. He can also learn specific skills by leveling up his [[Drive Forms]], such as a higher jump or the ability to glide. Sora can likewise strengthen these abilities by continuing to gain [[experience]] in each form. |
|

|
| In some games, certain action abilities, usually ones that increase mobility, are separated from other abilities. These may include such abilities as [[High Jump]], [[Mermaid Kick]], [[Quick Run]], or [[Glide]], among others. ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' lists a number of action abilities as '''Shared Abilities''', which can be used by all party members once equipped, at no cost. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', '''Growth Abilities''' are special action abilities that are learned and leveled up by leveling [[Drive Form]]s.
| | It should also be noted that in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game) |Kingdom Hearts]]'', the Abilities are not categorized as such, and that there are '''Shared Abilities''' - common growth abilities which are shared by Sora, Donald and Goofy, which include '''High Jump''' and '''Mermaid Kick'''. |

|
| In some games, weapons may provide abilities once equipped. Additionally, some games allow multiple copies of abilities to be equipped, increasing their effect. | | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', various weapons can also carry abilities on them. Some of Donald's staves and Goofy's shield's have abilities, whereas ''all'' of Sora's [[Keyblade]]s have abilities on them. This enables a character to have the same ability multiple times: for instance, Sora only learns one MP Rage normally. However, by leveling up [[Wisdom Form]], he can learn a second MP Rage, and by equipping the [[Hidden Dragon]] Keyblade, he will instantly learn a ''third'' MP Rage. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', abilities are equipped in the main menu, at the cost of '''Ability Points''', or '''AP'''.
| | Like most playing elements in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', abilities can be utilized through the [[Panel System]]. |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', passive abilities are activated by using [[enemy card]]s in battle, while certain action abilities are equipped by default.
