'''Master Form''' is a [[Drive Form]] that handles both the [[Keyblade]] and [[magic]] which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It uses both [[party members]] and consumes four of [[Sora]]'s Drive Bars. It represents the fusion of [[Valor Form]] and [[Wisdom Form]],<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you possessing all abilities flows into your mind."</ref> and is obtained when Sora reunites with [[King Mickey]] at [[Hollow Bastion]]. Its emblem is a yellow saltire.

==Design==
Master Form turns Sora's clothes into a yellow and black color scheme. The symbols on his pants are three black crosses arranged in a fancy overlapping pattern. Master Form changes designs depending on the world he is in:
*In [[Timeless River]], Sora's appearance does not change. However, his HUD sprite gains a yellow tint.
*In [[Halloween Town]], Sora's mask becomes an unevenly-stitched fusion of Valor Form and Wisdom Form's masks. The Valor Form mask is on Sora's right, and Wisdom Form's is on his left.
*In [[Christmas Town]]{{FMII}}, Sora's hat gains a single golden cross, and the back of his shirt has multiple crosses.
*In [[Space Paranoids]], Sora's circuitry becomes yellow.
 
When in Master Form on any world, pale yellow sparkles constantly fall off Sora and create somewhat of a streak behind him when running. Also, the floating Keyblade is held in place by a yellow aura surrounding Sora's hand and the Keyblade he is physically holding seems to have deep yellow electricity flowing through it.


==Mechanics==
==Mechanics==
Master Form is a balanced Drive Form that allows Sora to wield two Keyblades, one by hand and the other controlled through telekinesis. It is proficient in both melee combat and magic. This form's fighting style is primarily aerial based since all attacks, both physical combos and offensive magic, raise Sora into the air, which means the form has no ground attacks whatsoever. Physical attacks are fast and powerful finishers provide crowd controls effects, such as stun and magnet. Magic is also modified, as combos can be strung forever, disabling magic finishers, and most spells are empowered or altered. In terms of mobility, Sora runs faster than his normal speed and can double jump using his [[Growth Ability]].
Master Form allows Sora to wield two Keyblades, and enhances his ability to perform magic spells by combining them with physical attacks. Master Form gains 1 experience point for every small Drive Orb obtained, and gains 3 experience points for every big Drive Orb obtained. Leveling up Master Form will give Sora the ability to use [[Aerial Dodge]] while in Standard Form.
 
Master Form gains [[experience]] by collecting [[Drive Orb]]s; one point for each small orb and three points for each large orb. [[Level]]ing up upgrades the form's Growth Ability, [[Aerial Dodge]], for both itself and Sora's standard form. Leveling up Master Form also grants [[Auto Master]] and two [[Air Combo Plus]] [[abilities]] to Sora's standard form.

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
With its aerial fighting style, Master Form is especially useful against airborne enemies. The [[Hero's Crest]] Keyblade is a solid choice for this form due to its [[Air Combo Boost]] ability. Its Disaster finisher is an excellent crowd control attack with its ability to draw in enemies. With its Master Magic ability, Sora is much more mobile when casting offensive magic, allowing for good hit-and-run tactics.
Master Form is a powerful damage-dealer, proficient with both physical attacks and magic. While in Master Form, Sora moves faster than his normal speed, and becomes able to perform magic without any finishers thanks to the "Endless Magic" ability. His attacks are high very fast and can often stun the enemies. However, Sora also loses all party members, so the player should equip Potions and be prepared to heal.
 
Since Master Form levels by collecting drive orbs, try and fight enemies that drop lots of orbs and can be defeated quickly. If Sora has the [[Drive Converter]] and [[Jackpot]] abilities, which can be acquired through leveling up and by respectively equipping the [[Sweet Memories]] (''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' only) and [[Wishing Lamp]] Keyblades, he can continuously use the Stop Dice and Begin Game [[Reaction Commands]] on [[Gambler]]s to obtain quick drive orbs while in Master Form. The best Keyblades for training Master Form are the more balanced: [[Oathkeeper]], [[Bond of Flame]], and [[Ultima Weapon]]. Hollow Bastion is a great place to train, as well as the [[Land of Dragons]], as the explosives drop drive orbs as well. [[Crimson Jazz]]es and [[Morning Star]]s in particular are good prey. It's wise to avoid using Master Form against bosses, and instead use Valor Form which can be leveled up in the fight. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the balloons within the [[Cavern of Remembrance]] drop Drive Orbs when attacked, making it another solid spot to train Master Form.
 
When using Master Form for proper combat, it is best to equip balanced Keyblades. The [[Fatal Crest]] Keyblade allows Master Form to engage in endless combos due to its [[Berserk Charge]] ability; combined with Master Form's innate Endless Magic ability, Sora becomes able to attack enemies without pause until the Form [[gauge]] depletes.
 
==Other appearances==
===''Final Fantasy Record Keeper''===
[[File:Master Form Icon FFRK.png|60px|left]]
Master Form appears in ''[[Final Fantasy Record Keeper]]'' as one of Sora's Soul Breaks, learned through the Crabclaw (KH) Keyblade. It allows him to gain Empowered Infusion for lightning, and reduces delay of his actions for two turns.

It's also a good idea to avoid using Master Form against bosses, and instead use Valor Form which can be leveled up in the fight. However, if one simply wishes to exploit the form's potential, [[Hero's Crest]] is a solid choice due to its [[Air Combo Boost]] ability, as Master Form revolves mainly around air combos.
