Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

{{Nihongo|'''Shotlock'''|シュートロック|Shūto Rokku|lit. "Shoot Lock"}} is a combat system that debuted in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''.

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', a Shotlock is initiated by holding down {{button|L1}} and {{button|R1}} simultaneously (or just {{button|R1}} in the ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix'' port). The user enters a targeting mode and locks onto enemies, and by pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version), the user then initiates a powerful attack that hits all targeted enemies. By locking onto the maximum amount of enemies, additional attacks can be added by following on-screen prompts. The amount of time the user has to lock onto targets depends on the [[Focus Gauge]], which empties when the attack is initiated and can be refilled by attacking enemies and using Ethers. Most of the Shotlocks in ''Birth by Sleep'' can be learned by all three Keyblade wielders, but they also get several that are unique to themselves.

By locking onto the maximum amount of enemies, additional attacks can be added by following on-screen prompts. The amount of time the user has to lock onto targets depends on the [[Focus Gauge]], which empties when the attack is initiated and can be refilled by attacking enemies and using Ethers. The rate at which the locking on occurs varies with each Shotlock and increases with level. Most of the Shotlocks in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' can be learned by all three Keyblade wielders, although there are some that are unique for each character.
 
Shotlocks can be divided into four types of attacks:
*Projectile-type Shotlocks, like [[Meteor Shower]], allow the user to launch a barrage of projectiles one after the other that home in on targets. Class A additional inputs can be used to add extra projectiles.
*Salvo-type Shotlocks, like [[Ragnarok]], allow the user to charge energy into the tip of the Keyblade, before sending a burst of projectiles at targets. Class C additional inputs can be used to fire multiple salvos.
*Rush-type Shotlocks, like [[Photon Charge]], allow the user to rush around the field, striking enemies in passing. Class B additional inputs are used to perform powerful diving strikes, except for [[Lightning Ray]], which uses Class A additional inputs to add extra rushes.
*Unique-type Shotlocks have a different attack for each Shotlock. These Shotlocks include each character's ultimate Shotlock, and [[Dark Link]], used during Ventus's fight with Vanitas. Terra's [[Ultima Cannon]] uses Class C inputs, while Ventus's [[Multivortex]] and Aqua's [[Lightbloom]] use Class D inputs for extra attacks. When using Dark Link, Class A inputs are required to hit Vanitas.


Each Shotlock can be enhanced by performing a certain action to add extra attacks. There are four methods of adding extra attacks, which determine the Shotlock's class:

===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', a Shotlock is initiated by holding down {{button|R1}}. The user enters a targeting mode and locks onto enemies, and the Shotlock begins by pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version). Triggering a Shotlock slows down time for the duration of the Focus gauge's depletion, allowing the player to maximize the number of lock-ons while minimizing damage and interference. [[Prism Rain]] is the only Shotlock available.
In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', a Shotlock is initiated by holding down {{button|R1}}. The user enters a targeting mode and locks onto enemies, and the Shotlock begins by pressing {{button|x}} ({{button|c}} in the Japanese version). Triggering a Shotlock slows down time for the duration of the Focus gauge's depletion, allowing the player to maximize the number of lock-ons while minimizing damage and interference. [[Prism Rain]] is the only Shotlock available.


===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', the mechanics are similar to ''0.2''. However, Shotlocks are now tied to Keyblades. Each Keyblade has a certain number of Shotlocks; most Shotlocks are differentiated by whether the user used an incomplete or max lock when firing, while [[Shooting Star]] and [[Hunny Spout]]'s max-level Shotlocks depend on whether a max lock was used on a single target or a group of enemies. Visually, all of Sora's max-level Shotlocks utilize the corresponding Keyblade's [[Formchange]], with his clothes transforming into the corresponding Form for the duration of the Shotlock.<!--what does this mean? Does he actually perform a Formchange Performance Attack? If so, just say that.--> Time is slowed while locking onto enemies,; however, timers, such as the ones seen in minigames, as well as the Doom counter used by [[Game:Marluxia|Marluxia's Replica Data]], will still run at normal speed.
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the mechanics are similar to ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''. Shotlocks are now tied to Keyblades, and each Keyblade has a certain amount of Shotlocks. Most Keyblades have two Shotlocks, one activated with an incomplete lock and another with a max lock. However, [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Destiny's Embrace]] each have just one Shotlock activated with one lock, [[Shooting Star]] and [[Hunny Spout]]'s max-level Shotlocks depend on whether a max lock was used on a single target or a group of enemies, and [[Master's Defender]] and [[Braveheart]]'s Shotlocks only prompt additional attacks when used at max lock similar to previous games. Visually, all of Sora's max-level Shotlocks implement the corresponding Keyblade's [[Formchange]], with his clothes transforming into the corresponding Form for the duration of the Shotlock. As in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', time is slowed while locking onto enemies; however, timers, such as the ones seen in minigames, as well as the Doom counter used by [[Game:Marluxia|Marluxia's Replica Data]], will still run at normal speed. The [[Airstep]] Flowmotion technique is also executed from the Shotlock menu by pressing {{button|s}}.

|During the last stage of the final battle between Ventus and Vanitas, [[Vanitas]] uses a Shotlock called "Dark Cannon", in which Vanitas fires a beam of dark energy, augmented by a rotating triangle of blue crystals. Through his [[Game:Vanitas (D-Link)|D-Link with Vanitas]], Ventus gains a gold-colored version of the same Shotlock, named "[[Dark Link]]", which he can use to combat Vanitas's Dark Cannon. The secret boss, [[Vanitas Remnant]], can also use Dark Cannon, but the attack cannot be countered.

During the last stage of the final battle between Ventus and Vanitas, [[Vanitas]] uses a Shotlock called "[[Dark Cannon]]", in which Vanitas fires a beam of dark energy, augmented by a rotating triangle of blue crystals. Through his D-Link with Vanitas, Ventus gains a gold-colored version of the same Shotlock, named "[[Dark Link]]", which he can use to combat Vanitas's Dark Cannon. The secret boss, [[Vanitas Remnant]], can also use Dark Cannon, but the attack cannot be countered.
The [[Vanitas Remnant]] utilizes a unique Shotlock during the battle against it. Vanitas Remnant takes the position it takes when using the Dark Cannon and surrounds itself in a black ball before shooting out copies of itself which make one slash before freezing in place.
 
The Vanitas Remnant also utilizes a unique Shotlock during the battle against it. Vanitas Remnant takes an identical position as when using Dark Cannon, and surrounds itself in a black ball before shooting out copies of itself which make one slash before freezing in place.

The [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]] utilizes a Shotlock against [[Riku]] during the final battle. When Riku absorbs his Dream Eaters to counter, the rest of the battle involves the two of them rushing against each other until one of them is knocked out.
