| | [[AntiForm]] (also known as [[Anti-Sora]]) is Sora's [[Heartless]] [[Drive Form]]. It happens based on a hidden counter that increases as you use forms (but drastically decreases every time you use [[Final Form]]), and has no abilities. |

| '''Antiform''' is a [[Drive Form]] which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It uses both [[party members]], and consumes all of [[Sora]]'s Drive Bars, and any progress towards recovering another one. It represents the [[darkness]] that still dwells within Sora's [[heart]],<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you overcome by the power of darkness flows into your mind."</ref> and it is obtained along with Sora's new clothes at [[Mysterious Tower]]. Its emblem is a black, demonic silhouette.

| ==Design==
| | While Sora is extremely fast in this form, he can only attack without the Keyblade, instead with his hands and feet, and can only revert when not in battle. It uses ALL of Sora's remaining Drive Gauge, and takes both party members. It also makes Sora more vulnerable to damage, and his attack power drops, but his combo length is longer than most other combos in the game (Final Form can get in more hits at its higher levels, but it is very fast, and ends quicker than the Anti-Form combo). Anti-form cannot be levelled up, and has no specific abilities, but pressing Square will make him do a Dodge to Forward Lunge attack (Name unknown). |
| {{main|Form:Sora}}
| |
| Antiform bears a strong resemblance to the [[AntiSora]] [[Heartless]] from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It transforms Sora's clothes black with blue accents while his skin and hair become ink-black, his eyes glow yellow like a Heartless's, and he constantly emits misty black and violet wisps of darkness from his arms and back. In this form, Sora runs on all fours and forgoes using the [[Keyblade]] in favor of attacking with claws on his hands.

|
| According to Tetsuya Nomura in an interview with ''{{w|Famitsu}}'', Sora can access this form due to his brief time as a [[Sora's Heartless|Shadow]].{{?}}<!--cite to journal--><ref name="Famitsu">'''''Famitsu'' Interview'''; '''Interviewer''': "Is Antiform originated from when Sora got turned into a Heartless?" / ''' Tetsuya Nomura''': "Story-wise, yes. Drives are very strong so Antiform exists as a side-effect of using too much power. System-wise, I wanted to create something strong but troublesome." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-2006-Nomura-Interview-2569 Translation by KHInsider].</ref>

|
| ==Mechanics== | | ==Formula For Triggering Anti-Form== |
| Unlike other Drive Forms, Antiform cannot be purposefully activated. Instead, it will be randomly activated when Sora attempts to enter [[Valor Form]], [[Wisdom Form]], [[Limit Form]], or [[Master Form]] while in combat, based on a hidden "Anti Point" counter. This counter is increased by 1 every time Valor, Wisdom, Limit, or Master Form is activated, but is reduced by 10 when [[Final Form]] is used. Gameplay-wise, Antiform exists as a consequence of abusing the Drive system, and it is meant to be "strong but troublesome".<ref name="Famitsu"/>
| |
|
| |
|
| When using the [[Two Become One]] Keyblade, its unique [[Light & Dark]] [[ability]] will make it so Antiform gets the highest chance to activate regardless of the current amount of Anti Points. It is impossible for Sora to enter Antiform while an unconscious ally is on the field, if he is alone (outside of cups where all forms are allowed), or if he is trying to change to Final Form.

| Antiform can only be manually deactivated outside of battle, though its Form Gauge caps out at 6, and consuming [[Drive Orb]]s will actually deplete the gauge further. In addition, though Drive Forms normally persist through cutscenes and [[Olympus Coliseum|Cup seeds]], Antiform will instead revert to Standard Form.
| | *'''Fights in which Anti-Form never occurs:''' Pete (all fights), Barbossa (Port Royal), Hades, all battles involving outside characters (i.e. Mickey, Hercules, etc.) |
|
| |
|
| Like Valor Form, Antiform cannot use [[magic]]; in fact, it cannot use any commands beyond "[[Attack]]" and "Revert." Furthermore, Sora cannot pick up [[HP]] Orbs while in Antiform (unless an event or boss battle ends where all prizes get auto-collected), meaning he is completely unable to heal in any way. Although Sora moves at twice his normal speed while in Antiform, he takes 50% more damage from attacks, and he does not gain [[experience]] from defeated enemies. Most of the Reaction Commands become unusable.
| | Note: Once the scene where Sora battles Roxas (After you fight him in Final Mix+) has occured, there is a 25% chance you will get Final Form instead. If you still get Anti-Form, it increases to 50%, and then 100%. |

|
| ==Strategy==
| | *Anti-Form looks very similar to Anti-Sora in the first game ([[Kingdom Hearts]]), only without a Keyblade. |
| When using Antiform, lacking any method of healing means that the player's main goal will be to evade the enemies. Although Antiform's high speed and Anti Glide ability make it easy to stay safe through simply evading the enemy's attacks, its quick combos will often let it keep an enemy stunned while also dealing damage, and can also deflect many attacks automatically. Furthermore, several of Antiform's attacks have a neutral or dark attribute, allowing them to break through enemies which are immune to the weapon-attribute, like the [[Large Body]].
| | *While Anti-Form is normally impossible to activate manually, certain cheat devices can allow you to activate Anti-Form from the Drive Menu. |
| | *During the fight against [[Vexen]] in '''Kingdom Hearts: ReCom'''(and his data battle in [[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]), Vexen can make copies of Sora that are actually Soras in Anti-Form. |
|
| |
|
| Unlike other Forms, Antiform automatically reverts to Standard Form when Sora moves to another room, emptying the Drive Gauge. However, if the room is a World Exit or one where [[party members]] are walking around, it will refill as normal. Because of this, the [[Brink of Despair]] can be used to easily recharge the Drive Gauge immediately after defeating [[Roxas]], allowing the player to repeatedly activate Drive Forms with [[Light & Dark]] equipped in order to unlock [[Final Form]].
