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.

The '''Struggle Bats''' are weapons which appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. They are the defining weapon of the [[Struggle]], used by its participants as well as by [[Roxas]] during his time in [[The Other Twilight Town]].
The '''Struggle Bats''' are weapons which appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. They are the defining weapon of the [[Struggle]], used by its participants as well as by [[Roxas]] as he explores [[Twilight Town]] during his vacations.


==Story==
Immediately before Roxas's first Struggle battle in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is given the chance to choose between three different styles of Struggle Bat, in a manner similar to his and Sora's choice between the [[Dream Sword]], [[Dream Shield|Shield]], and [[Dream Rod|Rod]] within their [[Dive to the Heart]]. Rather than determining the path of growth that Roxas will take, choosing between them will only grant Roxas an immediate stat boost in one category. Choosing the sword grants Roxas +1 to {{STR}}, the hammer +1 to {{DEF}}, and the wand +1 to {{MAG}}.
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
On Day 118, Roxas goes on vacation at Twilight Town, and is invited to participate at [[Grandstander]], using a Struggle Sword to do so.


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
The Struggle Sword is the standard Struggle Bat used by Roxas's and Sora's Struggle opponents, as well as by Roxas when he takes a vacation at Twilight Town in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
On his first day in The Other Twilight Town, Roxas is given the chance to choose one of three different styles of Struggle Bat prior to his first fight with [[Seifer]], in a manner similar to his and [[Sora]]'s choice between the [[Dream Sword]], [[Dream Shield|Shield]], and [[Dream Rod|Rod]] within their [[Dive to the Heart]]. Rather than determining the path of growth that Roxas will take, choosing a weapon will only grant Roxas an immediate stat boost in one category: choosing the sword grants Roxas +1 to {{STR}}, the hammer +1 to {{DEF}}, and the wand +1 to {{MAG}}. His choice becomes his primary weapon during his time in The Other Twilight Town.
 
During the Struggle tournament on his fourth day, Roxas always wields a Struggle Sword regardless of his earlier choice, while all of his opponents also wield Struggle Swords.
 
On his fifth day, Roxas investigates the [[Seven Wonders]] and fights a [[Shadow Roxas]], who always wields a shadow Struggle Sword regardless of Roxas's choice of weapon.
 
During Sora's visit to Twilight Town, he can also participate in the Struggle, wielding a Struggle Sword.

The Struggle Bats are constructed from a blue, {{w|Nerf|NERF}}-like foam mounted on a golden handle which appears similar to plastic.

The Struggle Sword is meant for dealing fast, powerful strikes. It is simple in design, with a straight golden handle that curves to a 90° angle at the pommel, and a thick blue "blade" extending from the guard, which is similar in width to the blade itself. When striking enemies, the Struggle Sword releases yellow and blue orbs. [[Shadow Roxas]] wields a shadow version of the Struggle Sword, with the orbs released while striking being black to match.

The Struggle Hammer is meant for guarding against attacks. Its "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. When striking enemies, the Struggle Hammer releases green orbs.

The Struggle Wand is meant for dealing powerful finishing moves and deliberate strikes. It has a long handle, tipped with a blue star that serves as its striking surface. When striking enemies, the Struggle Wand releases faint, light blue stars.

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
The Struggle Sword's combos in ''358/2 Days'' are designed to facilitate [[Grandstander]]. Its ground combo is an upward swing to the left, then a one-handed upward swing to the right before finishing with a jumping blow. Its aerial combo is two upward swings to the left before finishing with a clockwise spin.
