'''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.

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.

 

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.

[[File:Dark Aura KH.gif|thumb|250x140px|Initially, Riku could only use Dark Aura while under Ansem's influence.]]

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>
