Aerial Recovery (エアリカバリー Ea Rikabarī?, lit. "Air Recovery") is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts II. It allows the user to upright themselves after being knocked into the air by an enemy attack.

Mechanics[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts II, Aerial Recovery is a support ability triggered by pressing Circle, X in the Japanese releases, after getting knocked into the air. It costs 2 AP to equip. In contrast to Retaliating Slash, Sora is granted brief invulnerability when performing Aerial Recovery, and can parry enemy attacks.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Aerial Recovery is an ability panel that can be leveled up from Aerial Recovery LV1 to Aerial Recovery LV2 and Aerial Recovery LV3 by linking A. Recovery LV+ Ⓛ (リカバリーアップⓁ Rikabarī Appu Ⓛ?, lit. "Recovery Up Ⓛ") panels. It is triggered by pressing B after getting knocked into the air. At higher levels it can be activated more quickly after taking a hit and the user recovers movement and action capability faster afterwards.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Aerial Recovery is a Bonus Booster ability that is triggered by pressing B after getting knocked back.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, Aerial Recovery is a reprisal command that is triggered by pressing Square, Circle in the Japanese releases, after getting knocked into the air. It can be equipped in place of a Payback-type command.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Aerial Recovery is a reprisal command that is triggered by pressing Y after getting knocked back. It can be equipped in place of a Payback-type command. It grants +1 to Defense when attached to a Dream Eater recipe.

In Kingdom Hearts III, Aerial Recovery is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. It is triggered by pressing Circle, X in the Japanese releases, after getting knocked into the air.
