'''Ragnarok''' (ラグナロク ''Ragunaroku'') is a special ability present in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]] series''. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', it is learned after [[Sora]]'s second encounter with [[Riku]], or after Riku is under the possession of [[Xehanort's Heartless]], to be precise. However, it is unaccessable once it is learned because Sora becomes a [[Heartless]] immediately after the battle. Sora can only access this ability once his Heart has been restored by [[Kairi]] and the subsequent series of events have transpired.

'''Ragnarok''', translated as '''Infinity''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to fire a cluster of energy shots from the tip of their [[Keyblade]].


==Mechanics==
==Appearances==
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Ragnarok is a [[Special Ability]]. When close to a target at a slightly-high elevation or higher, selecting the '''Ragnarok''' command will cause [[Sora]] to automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a five hit aerial attack combo, after which he will hover while charging energy into a sphere from the tip of the Keyblade. Unlike [[Sonic Blade]] or [[Ars Arcanum]], it requires no timing to execute the finisher, {{nihongo|'''Impact'''|インパクト|Inpakuto}}; however, the longer Sora charges before using Impact, the more projectiles are fired and the heavier the damage, with the optimal time being the instant the Keyblade releases a circular flash of light. The projectiles home in on enemies after being fired, while Sora can move freely. Waiting too long to use Impact causes the energy to dissipate without releasing the projectiles. Sora is invincible during the initial weapon combo, but when Sora is charging the projectiles, he is left vulnerable to damage. In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the initial Ragnarok command and the Impact command are implemented as [[Reaction Commands]]. Ragnarok costs 4 {{AP}} to equip and 3 [[MP]] to use. When Ragnarok is fired just after enemies are cleared in a room, the projectiles will fly and lock on to a specific spot often out of Sora's reach, as opposed to scattering in random directions.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Ragnarok is an [[attack sleight]] that allows Sora to simply rise into the air, then fire a fusillade of beams horizontally across the field. Sora can adjust his position as he hovers, and will fire the beams automatically after a short period of time. While pressing {{button|dsa}} fires the projectiles sooner, it does not modify the damage dealt.
 
In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', the fusillade homes in on targets, and Sora moves slower as he adjusts position while also being able to turn his aiming direction. Using {{button|x}} to fire the fusillade when the burst of light appears (or at any point after it) will generate more beams, and the amount will not increase any further even if Sora simply waits for the attack to fire on its own. Sora is unable to move until all the beams all dissipate to end the sleight normally, and the beams all normally track downward mainly to impact the ground sooner if they happen to curve around specific targets.
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Infinity is a [[limit]] that is exclusive to [[Genie]]. The limit begins with '''Infinity''', in which Sora and Genie act as one unit to move forward while punching at enemies while their weapons fly about them. {{button|lana}} can be used to steer direction. Afterwards, '''Impact''' causes Genie to click his fingers three times as Sora uses their weapons as a clock counting down to generate a large explosion of firework-like magic explosions.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Infinity is also an [[action ability]] exclusive to [[Limit Form]]. It is a [[limit]] that is equipped by default and costs 80 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to {{button|x}} in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs an aerial attack combo and then uses his Keyblade to charge up energy in the air. Then, the energy releases homing projectiles through one out of several [[Reaction Command]]s, which are available in quick succession and vary in projectile quantity. {{a|'''Shoot'''}} is the weakest attack and is eventually replaced by the more powerful {{a|'''Impact'''}} attack. Soon after, there is a brief opportunity to execute {{a|'''Giga Impact'''}}, which fires the most projectiles and gives Limit Form 1 Exp Point. Afterwards, Shoot is available again and is executed automatically if too much time passes. Each individual projectile deals damage relative to two-thirds of Sora's Magic stat, as well as Neutral damage that bypasses physical defenses. [[HP Gain]] restores Sora's HP only when he hits the enemies with his aerial combo.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Ragnarok is Sora's [[Limit Break]]. It allows Sora to lift into the air and gather thin lasers into a sphere, which can be fired with {{button|dsa}}, releasing projectiles that home in on enemies to deal heavy damage. The lasers can be charged up until a prime point, signaled by a white flash, whereby {{button|dsa}} releases the maximum number of projectiles. The Final Limit also releases trios of spinning capsule-shaped beams, which travel in a straight line to deal devastating damage to enemies and pierce their guard.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Ragnarok is a [[Shotlock]] that has a maximum level of 4 and max lock of 16. Once the attack has begun, the player can perform extra attacks by pressing {{button|x}} at the right time to fire additional projectiles.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Ragnarok is a [[Dual Attack]] that allows the user and Spirits to fire countless projectiles, dealing {{c|Light|element}}-elemental damage. Enemies can be hit up to 20 times.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', Ragnarok is a [[special attack]] that targets all enemies. It costs 2 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts damage with no attributes.
{{UXdmg|dmg5=2.16|in2=0.08|hit5=2|tar=All}}
{{-|left}}
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Ragnarok is a max-level Shotlock that requires 24 locks to use. When activated, Sora [[Formchange]]s into [[Second Form]] and fires streams of brilliant light that fly at his targets.
 
==Learning Ragnarok==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
*Sora learns Ragnarok after his second encounter with [[Riku]], in [[Hollow Bastion]].


===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
'''Ragnarok'''<br />
*Sora can learn Ragnarok after reaching level 47{{KHCoM}}.
'''AP cost''': 4<br />
*Sora can learn Ragnarok after reaching level 52{{ReCoM}}.
'''MP Cost''': 3<br />
'''Description''': A flurry of air combos which ends with a laser burst. Deals Light-elemental based magic damage.<br />
'''Effect''': When close to an airborne enemy, Sora will automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a series of mid-air slashes. Unlike [[Sonic Blade]] or [[Ars Arcanum]], it requires no timing to execute the finisher, '''Burst'''; however, it should be noted, the longer Sora charges for the Burst attack on air, the heavier the damage inflicts. Aside from that, the lasers fired also have homing capabilities, which target and destroy the nearest foes in sight. Sora can move freely while the lasers home by themselves.


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
*[["Final" Genie]] has Infinity as his limit.
It reappears in ''Chain of Memories'', but this time as a [[Sleight]]. It also is a sleight in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]''. In ''Chain of Memories'', you learn it at Level 47. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', you learn it at Level 52.
To use it, stock the card and press A or {{button|t}}. Press A or {{button|x}} to fire sooner, but less rays are fired.


===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
This is the [[Attack Cards|Attack Card]] requirement for Ragnarok:
*[["Final" Genie]] has Infinity as his limit.
{{sleight|Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key|7-9}}
*Limit Form has Infinity as a default ability accessible from the Limit menu.


===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''===
*Sora has Ragnarok as his Limit Break.
Ragnarok makes a comeback as one of four of Sora's former abilities to appear as one of Sora's Limits while [[Limit Form]] is equipped. Activating Ragnarok will trigger a [[Reaction Command]], '''Burst''', and just as in the first game, {{button|t}} has to be hit at the right time for more projectiles to be fired. Hitting {{button|t}} too early will cause fewer lasers to be fired.


===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
*[[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] can obtain Ragnarok from a bonus panel on the [[Keyblade Board]].<ref name="board">Only available when playing from the menu.</ref>
[[File:Xion's_Ragnarok.png|thumb|Xion's Ragnarok]]
*Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can obtain Ragnarok from a bonus panel on the [[Secret Board]].<ref name="board"/>
In this game, Ragnarok is an attack used by [[Xion (Boss)|Xion]] in her second form, where the streams of magic are long lasting and chase Roxas around until about the time she starts her next attack. Also, it is used as part of Sora's Limit Break; he shoots three small shots from his Keyblade, and in his Final Limit, the shots spin rapidly and faster at the opponents, becoming capable of going through the enemy. It is not an especially strong technique when used as a Limit Break, but when Xion uses it, it can deplete the player's HP to his/her Alarm Zone, if not bringing his/her HP to zero, since Ragnarok is considered a Nil-based attack in this game, it ignores defense completely.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
*Sora can use Ragnarok by Dual Linking with a {{DEattribute|Water}} and a {{DEattribute|Dark}} Spirit.
*Sora can use Ragnarok by Dual Linking with two {{DEattribute|Thunder}} Spirits.
*Sora can use Ragnarok by Dual Linking with a {{DEattribute|Thunder}} and a {{DEattribute|Light}} Spirit.
*Sora can use Ragnarok by Dual Linking with a {{DEattribute|Thunder}} and a {{DEattribute|Dark}} Spirit.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''===
*Ragnarok +4 is the special attack for medals {{medal|Xigbar A|397}} and {{medal|Riku Replica|517}}.
*Ragnarok +5 is the special attack for medals {{medal|Xigbar A|398}} and {{medal|Riku Replica|518}}.
*Ragnarok +6 is the special attack for medals {{medal|Xigbar A|1125}} and {{medal|Riku Replica|1155}}.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
*The [[Kingdom Key]] has Ragnarok as its max-level Shotlock.
*The [[Midnight Blue]] has Ragnarok as its max-level Shotlock.
*The [[Phantom Green]] has Ragnarok as its max-level Shotlock.

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
[[File:Ragnarok KHD.png|thumb|Xion's version of Ragnarok causes her to launch long-lasting projectiles from the tip of her weapon that slowly homes in on the player character.]]
In her second form, {{ns|Game|Xion}} can use Ragnarok against the player if too much distance is maintained. The attack is Nil-based and ignores defense completely.
 
===''World of Final Fantasy''===
Sora uses the ''Kingdom Hearts'' iteration of Ragnarok as the final part of his Champion Summon.
 
===''Final Fantasy Record Keeper''===
[[File:Ragnarok Icon FFRK.png|right|80px]]
Ragnarok appears in ''{{ff|Final Fantasy Record Keeper}}'' as one of Sora's Soul Breaks, learned through the [[Fenrir]] (KH) Keyblade. It allows him to deliver three massive ranged fire, lightning, and ice attacks to an enemy, that can break the damage cap.

==Origin==
{{w|Ragnarök}} is an event in Norse mythology that is similar to the Apocalypse. It is an event that is set off by the death of the god Balder, which was orchestrated by Loki. The Ragnarok was a final clash of all the major entities of Norse mythology. This caused all of the human spirits up in Valhalla to come down for the final battle. This bloody encounter ebbs with the destruction of the universe and Balder along with a little handful of entities that are put in the bodies of children and only contain memories of the world before Ragnarok. Those entities would become mortal.
 
{{ff|Ragnarok}} is also a recurring Summon and weapon that appears in various games in the ''{{ff|Final Fantasy (Series)|Final Fantasy}}'' series. It also appears as {{ff|Ragnarok (Final Fantasy VIII)|an airship}} and {{ff|Ragnarok (Final Fantasy XIII)|a legendary beast}}.<!--
 
In the Italian version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', Ragnarok is mistranslated as "Laguna Rock".-->
