The '''Diamond Dust''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's]] and [[Starlight|Player's Keyblades]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]''.


==Design==
==Design==
The Diamond Dust's appearance varies depending on its upgrades, most of which are only seen in ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''. Across its various incarnations, this Keyblade appears to be made of ice, and both the teeth of the blade and the Keychain's token are snowflakes.
This Keyblade appears to be made of ice, and both the teeth of the blade and the Keychain's token are snowflakes. It bears some resemblance to the [[Oathkeeper]] Keyblade. The chain part of the Keychain is attached to the Keyblade by a gold ring and is made up of gold links, except for the first link, which is shaped like the Ice Titan's head. The Keyblade's name is based on the traditional attack of the ''Final Fantasy'' summon, [[finalfantasy:Shiva|Shiva]].
 
The default Diamond Dust has a dull color scheme. Its handle is a light teal, with its guard being segmented and fractured. The blade is a straight shaft with a light blue color scheme, with a white and gold snowflake as the teeth. The Keychain's links are golden (save for the first, which is silver), and the token is a 4-sided snowflake.
 
The first upgrade, also seen in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', has more of a cobalt color scheme with the handle and guard. The guard is more complete, and the blade is brighter and curved. The teeth manifest as a teal and yellow snowflake, with the center being a diamond star. The Keychain's final link is blue, and its token resembles a simplified version of the teeth.
 
The second upgrade bears a more ornate handle, bearing a sky-blue and azure color scheme. The guard has more spikes surrounding it, and the blade is longer, also with spikes from the inside emerging from the outside and a faint snowflake appearing at one end. The teeth manifest as an ornate, golden, and blue hollow snowflake, with the center being a diamond star. The Keychain's links are brighter, and the token is a simplified version of the teeth.
 
The third upgrade cloaks the Keyblade in an icy aura, with a lens flare from the blade.
 
The Keyblade's name is based on the traditional attack of the ''Final Fantasy'' summon, {{ff|Shiva}}.


==Gameplay==
When Diamond Dust is swung, it leaves a trail of frozen mist in its wake.
In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', Diamond Dust is the only Keyblade that increases Sora's MP by three points, making it the most powerful in regards to magical power. As such it is the final cornerstone Keyblade for magic users, who will also likely equip MP boosting equipment such as [[Atlas Armlet]]s and have chosen the Dream Rod at the [[Dive to the Heart]] to maximize Sora's MP, which can reach up to 19 points. However, it has an average reach, poor recoil, and awful strength, making it a poor choice for physical combat. Sora will have a hard time using the [[Counterattack]] ability with this, in addition to having long recoil times from [[guard]]ing enemy attacks. He will also take long to deal physical damage if he is not supplemented with strength boosting equipment (likely not what a magic user will want if they're using Diamond Dust) or with an already high Strength stat from a high [[level]] (which makes him not recover MP nearly as quickly from enemy attacks) or many [[Power Up]] items used on him (which require synthesis item grinding).


In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', the Diamond Dust deals {{c|Ice|element}}-elemental attacks, and is the only Attack Card to do so in all versions of the game. It has decent strength all around, having a decent strength and thrust and a moderate finisher, and boasts fast attacks and a quick recovery time.
