Struggle Bats: Difference between revisions

'''Struggle "Bats"''' are the primary weapon of [[Twilight Town|Twilight Town's]] [[Struggle]] competition during both [[Roxas|Roxas']] and [[Sora|Sora's]] story of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. They also act as a basic means of self-defense for Twilight Town's residents.

[[Image:Struggle_Bat.jpg|thumb|Struggle Sword as Shown in Twilight Town Day 1]]The Struggle Sword is the most commonly used bat. It is simple in design - having only a straight golden handle that curves to a 90 degree angle at the pommel, and a thick blue "blade" extending from the thin "guard," that barely extends past the diameter of the blade.

This bat is for those who favor strength in battle, giving a +1 STR bonus when chosen, and is easier to use in fast, powerful strikes. All competitors of the Struggle competition use this bat.

[[Image:Struggle_Guard.jpg|thumb|left|Struggle Hammer]]The Struggle Hammer is one of the two Struggle bats that only Roxas can use. The "blade" is similar to that of the sword, but the handle is thinner, and there is a wide, moon-shaped hand guard that wraps from the hilt around the hand, similar to a rapier. This bat also has a thick and slightly more ornate pommel.

This bat is designed for finesse and defense. It gives a +1 DEF boost when chosen, and is best for guarding against attacks.

[[Image:Struggle_Staff.jpg|thumb|The blue struggle material is shaped like a 5-point star]]The Struggle Wand is the other Struggle bat that only Roxas can use. This bat is quite different from the other two in that, rather than having a short gold handle and a long blue "blade" used for fighting, the staff has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that acts as the weapon. This bat most fits the design of Twilight Town, fitting the star motif of Roxas' bedroom and [[Yen Sid's Tower]].

This bat is made to accommodate magical abilities. When chosen, it gives a +1 MAG boost to Roxas. It provides balance for good finishing moves and powered attacks.

It is unknown if this bat has any magical abilities, but it seems to be more in the ways of [[Donald|Donald's]] staves and magic wands. This, along with the [[Yen Sid]]-like star motif, makes it a likely candidate for channeling magic.
