| | {{nihongo|'''Dark Aura'''|ダークオーラ|Dāku Ōra}} is an ability which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It has two forms. The first consists of Riku rapidly opening portals of darkness and rushing out of them at the opponent with his blade, then slamming the ground to summon a column of light that confuses the enemy. The second, used only in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', consists of Riku firing orbs of darkness which stop the enemy's movement. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it requires 2 AP to equip and 10 MP to use. |

| '''Dark Aura''', also translated as '''Dark Rush''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', is technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is a signature move of [[Riku]], and it appears repeatedly throughout the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series. It typically allows the user to rush enemies repeatedly from all directions, finishing by plunging their weapon into the ground, releasing columns of energy radially. The attack often deals {{c|dark|element}} damage. | |
| | |
| There is a variation of Dark Aura exclusive to ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' in which Riku launches spheres of dark flame at the opponent, a technique similar to [[Dark Firaga]].
| |
| | |
| ==Mechanics==
| |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Dark Aura is an [[attack sleight]] that Riku can use while in [[Dark Mode]]. When used, Riku performs 6 rush attacks at the enemy before following with a groundward attack that generates pillars of light and a shockwave. The columns of light that conclude the attack may {{c|confuse|status}} enemies when hit.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Dark Aura is an [[action ability]] exclusive to Riku. It allows Riku to fire spheres of dark flame that can stop enemies on contact, and is performed by pressing {{button|t}} to use the Dark Aura [[Reaction Command]] after Sora reaches the end of an attack combo. It costs two {{AP}} to equip and ten [[MP]] to use. While playing as Riku in the final battle with {{ns|Game|Xemnas}} during his Bind Attack, Dark Aura can be used by pressing {{button|s}}.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Dark Aura is an {{c|attack command|DDD}} exclusive to Riku that uses two slots and has a reload time of 42 seconds. It grants +4 to [[Strength]] and +10 to [[Dark Resistance]] when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe. When used, Riku performs 8 rush attacks at an enemy that is targetted the moment the command is used, before following with a groundward attack that generates pillars of darkness in a sphere around the dive impact.
| |
| | |
| If Riku is caught in a Kooma Panda's Tea Table Flip during the initial start-up of Dark Aura, a glitch will occur that causes him to pass through the floor and remain in the animation until the either the player resets the game or the Drop Gauge gets fully depleted.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1j-j8Qd42A ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'': Dark Aura Glitch]</ref> The same glitch occurs if Riku tries to use Dark Aura on a Cera Terror.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', Dark Aura is a [[special attack]] that targets all enemies. It costs 3 special attack gauges to perform, 0 gauges for Dark Aura +5 in the English version. Dark Aura +7 ignores enemy counters, and has a 50% chance to deal critical damage. | |

| Riku is fought several times as a boss throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Dark Aura serves as one of his desperation attacks in each of these encounters.
| | ====''Kingdom Hearts''==== |
| | | While possessed by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], Riku uses the first form of Dark Aura as his strongest technique.[[File:Rikudarkkh1.jpg|thumb|right|204px|Riku about to perform Dark Aura in Kingdom Hearts]] |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts''=== | |
| [[File:Dark Aura KH.gif|thumb|250x140px|Initially, Riku could only use Dark Aura while under Ansem's influence.]]
| |
| When Sora faces Riku for the second time while Riku is under the possession of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] in [[Hollow Bastion]], Dark Aura serves as Riku's strongest attack. It is used when he is low on HP and his hand is glowing in a sphere of dark energy.

| ===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
| |
| The {{ns|Game|Riku Replica}} can utilize Dark Aura as a Sleight during his final battles in Sora's story and ''Reverse/Rebirth''. Unlike Riku, who needs a card value of 27 to execute Dark Aura, the Riku Replica can use it with any value. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Riku Replica's Dark Aura pillars no longer confuse the opponent.<br>

| During his battle with [[Roxas]] in The World That Never Was, Riku is able to use Dark Aura once he charges the Oblivion Keyblade. Rather than attacking while teleporting over the whole arena, Riku simply attacks Roxas's position. In [[Mission Mode]], [[Anti-Riku]] can use Dark Aura as well.
