===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', in critical mode, enemies are typically too strong to make any use of this ability early on in the game. Later on, when the player reaches [[The World That Never Was]], the player will have reached a high enough level endure at least one attack and retain less than half of their total HP without dying. It is also a good idea to synthesize defense boosts to increase Sora's defense to allow him to endure attacks without dying. If Sora's HP is too low for the player's comfort, make use of a safe point by staying in it long enough so Sora's HP is just under half of his total HP. Although this method is tricky, it can triple Sora's EXP gain by equipping the support ability and the Gull Wing at the same time. However, as the player increases in level, this method becomes increasingly easier due to Sora's defense and attack stats increasing as he levels up. It is also highly advised to level grind using nobodies as nobodies always drop magic orbs while heartless drop health orbs, which will heal Sora eventually negating Experience Boost's benefits.
Experience Boost can be difficult to keep active while farming EXP, as it requires Sora's health to be at risk, but it can also be inadvertently deactivated if Sora picks up HP Prizes from defeated enemies or if party members heal him. In order to maintain Sora's HP in the critical range without dying, the player should equip [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], [[Damage Control]], {{c|Defender|ability}}, apply any available [[Defense Boost]]s, and unequip [[Jackpot]], [[Draw]], and [[Lucky Lucky]]. One should also avoid using [[Final Form]]'s [[Magnet]], as it draws in prizes.
 
Experience Boost is especially hard to utilize at the beginning and at higher difficulties. A way to utilize it is to beat enemies one by one and then run to a different checkpoint, then back. This way if Sora is defeated, the player can retain all the experience gained until that point. This is especially good for Critical Mode as when Sora has less than half of his total HP at the beginning of the game, most enemies can defeat him with one hit. The best way to grind to level 99 is to defeat the Nobodies from the first save point in [[The World That Never Was]] all the way to The Door to Darkness as the player will level to 99 very quickly. This may be tricky at first, but it gets easier as Sora levels.
