Editing Valor Form

{{Game|KH2|FM2}}
[[File:Valor Form.png|right|320px]]

{{nihongo|'''Valor Form'''|ブレイヴフォーム|Bureivu Fōmu|"Brave Form" in the Japanese version}} is the first [[Drive Form]] attained in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. This form is obtained along with Sora's new clothes at [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's Tower]]. [[Sora]] merges with [[Goofy]] to transform. Once you obtain Valor form, you initially start with the Kingdom Key and Star Seeker Keyblades. This form focuses on attack, and is the most offensive of any form. Valor Form allows Sora to get in close and bash away to do heavy damage in a short amount of time, at the cost of losing the ability to cast magic.

While in this form, Sora can run faster than usual, making Valor the second fastest Drive Form, compared to Final's gliding ability. Like [[Wisdom Form]], Valor Form consumes three Drive Bars.

==Leveling Up==
[[File:Sora Valor Form.jpg|left|200px]]
The Valor Form is extremely easy to level up compared to the other forms in the game. It levels up simply by landing successful hits on an enemy, and Valor Form is noted for very quick but powerful combos.

It is possible to level up Valor Form to LV3 easily almost as soon as it has been obtained. After leaving [[Hollow Bastion]], clear the route to [[Beast's Castle]] and, after seeing [[Beast]] take his rose from the parlor, head out into the main hallway. Drive into Valor Form, and defeat all the [[Hook Bat]]s: three in the center, four near the door to the courtyard, and three at the top of the stairs. Then quickly return to the parlor before the [[Drive Gauge]] runs out and exit to the World Map. Upon re-entering the world, the Drive Gauge will be re-filled to max. Simply repeat this as many times as desired, but note that you cannot level up the form higher than lv3 at this stage.

For leveling up past LV3, go to the [[Land of Dragons]], after having beaten all the episodes. Start from the Throne Room, and go to the Antechamber, moving along until your Drive Gauge reaches 1, then returning to the [[Save Point]] before you've reverted from Valor Form, exiting to the World Map, and coming back with a full Drive Gauge. If you transform in the Throne Room, you will have zero chance of transforming into Anti-Form. With Drive Boost and the high form gauge that Valor is known for, you can easily travel to the Village and back.

Another way to level up Valor Form would be to go to Hollow Bastion and start in Merlin's house. Go out, and before encountering Heartless, change into Valor Form. Defeat all Heartless there if the Drive would last that amount of time, than quickly enter Merlin's house and exit, then enter again. There is a good amount of Heartless in the area, making Hollow Bastion's town area a good place to level up. Also, boss battles are a good way to level up because bosses have lots of HP.

By leveling up the Valor Form, Sora will develop the ability High Jump, which allows him to jump at previously unreachable heights. Sora also gains Combo Up abilities by leveling up this form.

Try equipping weak Keyblades to level up Valor Form, as it will give you more hits on an enemy before they are defeated. Sweet Memories (STR: 0; MAG: 0) and Hidden Dragon (STR: 2; MAG: 2) are good choices.

'''Pros'''<br />

*EXP is gained as Sora strikes enemies, thus making it the easiest Form to level up.
*Omega Finale allows finishing blows to be executed without completing a combo, allowing Sora to do high amounts of damage easily.
*Sora's speed is increased, making him run twice as fast as his normal form.
*It has the exceptional ability to stay in the air, rarely having to touch the ground if surrounded by many enemies (e.g. Rapid Thrusters)
*Fast slashes in midair.
*Slashes can block other enemy attacks.
*Attacks are able to stun most enemies.

'''Cons'''<br />
*Magic is disabled, thus no long range magic such as Thunder or Blizzard to finish off an enemy from far away, nor healing magic, is available. However, this can be negated should Donald serve as a healer; still, Donald may not always heal in time. A good way is to stock up on Potions and keep them in the Shortcuts menu.
*Takes more time to defeat an enemy without magic aid.
*Although most Nobodies are stunned by Valor's attacks, Berserkers remain unaffected by its stunning attacks.

==Representation==
Goofy combines with Sora to represent courage and strength. It is quite similar to [[Roxas]]'s fighting style because it abandons all defensive and magical capabilities in favor of power and speed.

==Mirror Description==
In [[Yen Sid]]'s tower the mirror on the far right side of the room describes Valor Form as "An image of you utilizing your strength to its fullest flows into your mind."

==Appearance==
This form turns Sora's clothes into a red and black color scheme with a fleur-de-lis on each sleeve and pant leg. In this form, Sora wields two Keyblades. No matter what world Sora is in, Sora's hands glow light red and flicker with red electricity. When Sora runs in Valor Form, flakes of Red energy fly off of his hands in a streak.

*'''[[Halloween Town]]''' Sora's mask turns into a devil-mask, slightly reminiscent of the mask [[Lock, Shock, and Barrel|Lock]] wears. Arguably the devil mask also looks like that of a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Bomb_(Race)#Kingdom_Hearts_game_series Bomb] from the Final Fantasy series.
*'''[[Timeless River]]:''' Sora's health icon becomes red in tint.
*'''[[Christmas Town]]:''' A red fleur-de-lis appears on Sora's santa hat and on the back of his shirt.
*'''[[Space Paranoids]]:''' Sora's circuit lines turn red, similar to that of [[Sark]].

==Helpful Hints==
*Morning Stars and Crimson Jazzes are both enemies which take a lot of damage, and to make it even better their attacks are easily disrupted by Valor Form's, and they drop a lot of Drive Orbs when defeated. These enemies appear together in both Hollow Bastion and Beast's Castle, making those both good places to train Valor Form; Beast's Castle also has the added benefit of a Save Point right next to the battlefield, and closely grouped enemies.

*Because Donald will not always be able to heal you in time, it is wise to have a Potion or a Hi-Potion in your quick menu when using Valor Form.

*You may consider using it on every boss and going to the village cave in the Land of Dragons. Destroy all of the Heartless in the area and if possible, use your square combo to break the carts to restore a bit of your time and go to the summit and kill all of the Heartless possible in your time left.

*Alternatively, you may level up in the Chasm of Challenges in Agrabah - if your Drive Gauge is higher than 5, you may take two rounds with the trials and defeat all the Heartless possible within the time limit. Once that is done, go to the nearby [[Save Point]], exit the world and re-enter the same Save Point to replenish your Drive Gauge. This strategy may be used for all other forms except Final Form.

*The best Keyblade to use for this form is the [[Sleeping Lion]] or [[Star Seeker]], since Valor form levels up by number of hits landed increasing the length of combos makes it so that you gain more EXP more quickly. Both of them are best paired with each other. Alternatively, if you equip [[Sweet Memories]], which has no strength boost, your hits will deal less damage and allow for more hits per enemy.

*Another good place to go to level this form up is The World That Never Was. Since there are many Nobodies here it makes it easier to land the required number of hits to level up.

*If you play ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' and you are at least in LV48, try training Valor Form in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]]: the enemies are powered-up versions of their original counterparts, which take more hits to be defeated. Also, many of the enemies (particularly Magic Phantom) drop Drive Orbs, and there are five balloons in the Cavern of Remembrance which drop Drive Orbs.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Valor-Combo.gif|thumb|right|A common Valor Form combo]]
*If one uses a cheat device to get this Form while still playing as Roxas, they will discover that Dual-Wield Roxas and Valor Form have the same abilities.
*While Valor Form's abilities match Dual-Wield Roxas', the fleur-de-lis pattern also matches that around Ventus' Awakening Station, as well as the colors of Vanitas' half during their fusion.
*Arguably, Valor Form is one of the lesser forms, (being the first introduced) due to its lack of magic as well as not being able to guard. However, it is very easy to level up. This makes it very valuable right up to the end of the game. However, because he uses two Keyblades with his Magic disabled, this Form is also takes away virtually all of Sora's defensive capabilities; only Anti Form is more vulnerable to enemy attacks than this Form.
*Strangely, even though Goofy has special abilities that use up magic, Valor Form does not.
*In this form Sora is very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo.
*Over the Horizon is the exact same as the first hit of Valor's aerial combo, except that it covers much more horizontal distance.
*Valor Form's name may refer to a ''Final Fantasy'' spell of the same name. Valor, also known as Bravery, is a spell that boosts the target's attack damage.

-'''Valor Form''' is a [[Drive Form]] specializing in physical attacks which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It uses [[Goofy]], and consumes three of [[Sora]]'s Drive Bars. It represents Sora's [[strength]],<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you utilizing your strength to its fullest flows into your mind."</ref> and is obtained along with Sora's new clothes at [[Mysterious Tower]]. Its emblem is a red ''fleur-de-lis''.

-{{Main|Form:Sora}}
-Valor Form turns Sora's clothes red and white with the ''{{w|Fleur-de-lis|fleur-de-lis}}'' emblem on each sleeve and pant leg. Valor 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 red tint.
-*In [[Halloween Town]], Sora's mask is changed into a creature resembling a {{ff|Bomb (creature)|Bomb}}.
-*In [[Christmas Town]]{{FMII}}, Sora's hat gains a red ''fleur-de-lis'', and the back of his shirt has a red thorn symbol.
-*In [[Space Paranoids]], Sora's circuitry changes to red.
-In this form, Sora wields two [[Keyblades]], and is also very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo.

-==Mechanics==
+==Leveling Up==
-Valor Form is a melee-oriented Drive Form that can wield two Keyblades, but cannot perform any [[magic]]. Notably, the [[Guard]] ability has been replaced with the Over the Horizon ability, but he can still parry while attacking. Its play-style is highly aggressive, utilizing a number of combo finishers and attacks that knock enemies into the air. Valor Form runs quicker than usual and can jump very high.
+[[File:Sora Valor Form.jpg|left|200px]]
+The Valor Form is extremely easy to level up compared to the other forms in the game. It levels up simply by landing successful hits on an enemy, and Valor Form is noted for very quick but powerful combos.
-Valor Form gains an [[experience]] point every time Sora strikes an enemy, including with physical hits from Reaction Commands, regardless of whether an enemy is vulnerable to it. In the original Japanese release of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it is possible to gain Valor Form EXP by hitting enemies with the [[Skateboard]]. By [[level]]ing up, the [[High Jump]] [[Growth Ability]] is upgraded for both Valor Form and Sora's standard form. Also, leveling up Valor Form grants [[Auto Valor]] and two [[Combo Plus]] [[abilities]] to Sora's standard form.
+It is possible to level up Valor Form to LV3 easily almost as soon as it has been obtained.

-[[File:Valor Form combo KHII.gif|left|thumb|250px|Sora performs a combo available for Valor Form.]]
-Valor Form is a powerful damage-dealer, and is very useful against single targets, such as tough enemies and bosses. While in Valor Form, Sora moves at twice his normal speed{{fact}}, and can perform combo finishers at any time with [[Omega Finale]]. His rapid slashes can [[block]] enemy attacks, and can sometimes stun the enemies as well. However, Sora also becomes unable to cast any Magic, including [[Cure]], so equip [[Potions]] and set [[Donald]]'s behavior to healing-focused whenever Sora uses Valor Form. The lack of Magic, coupled with an inability to Guard, makes Valor Form the weakest Form defense-wise. As such, it is best to take advantage of the increased movement speed and jump height to evade attacks while looking for openings, then quickly moving in to deal damage.
-Since Valor Form levels by dealing hits, and not by defeating enemies, try to keep enemies alive while training Valor Form. The best Keyblades for training Valor Form are the [[Sweet Memories]] and [[Oathkeeper]]; the [[Star Seeker]] and its [[Air Combo Plus]] are a good substitute for the Oathkeeper if it is unavailable. The [[Morning Star]] and [[Crimson Jazz]] [[Heartless]], which appear together at [[Hollow Bastion]] and [[Beast's Castle]], are the best enemies to train against, as they have high stamina, but are also easy to disrupt with Valor Form's attacks and drop a large amount of [[Drive Orb]]s when defeated. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', both [[Mushroom XIII No. 5]] and [[Mushroom XIII No. 11]] allow Sora to deal a large amount of hits while being close to a [[save point]], allowing him to quickly refill his Drive Gauge. If defeated, they will also drop some [[Drive Recovery]] items.
+By leveling up the Valor Form, Sora will develop the ability High Jump, which allows him to jump at previously unreachable heights. Sora also gains Combo Up abilities by leveling up this form.
-In contrast, when using the form for combat purposes, it is best to equip the strongest Keyblades available. The damage dealt can be maximized by equipping the [[Decisive Pumpkin]], [[Sleeping Lion]], [[Hero's Crest]], [[Star Seeker]], or [[Rumbling Rose]], due to their [[Combo Boost]], [[Combo Plus]], [[Air Combo Boost]], [[Air Combo Plus]], and [[Finishing Plus]] abilities, respectively.
+Try equipping weak Keyblades to level up Valor Form, as it will give you more hits on an enemy before they are defeated. Sweet Memories (STR: 0; MAG: 0) and Hidden Dragon (STR: 2; MAG: 2) are good choices.

-Valor Form appears in ''[[Final Fantasy Record Keeper]]'' as one of Sora's Soul Breaks, learned through the Jungle King (KH) Keyblade. It allows him to gain Empowered Infusion for fire, and reduces delay of his actions for two turns.

+*Alternatively, you may level up in the Chasm of Challenges in Agrabah - if your Drive Gauge is higher than 5, you may take two rounds with the trials and defeat all the Heartless possible within the time limit. Once that is done, go to the nearby [[Save Point]], exit the world and re-enter the same Save Point to replenish your Drive Gauge. This strategy may be used for all other forms except Final Form.

-Sora's Valor Form appears in ''{{ssb|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}'' as an outfit variation for Sora. Sora's stance will change to that of the Valor Form while holding a one-handed item.
+*The best Keyblade to use for this form is the [[Sleeping Lion]] or [[Star Seeker]], since Valor form levels up by number of hits landed increasing the length of combos makes it so that you gain more EXP more quickly. Both of them are best paired with each other. Alternatively, if you equip [[Sweet Memories]], which has no strength boost, your hits will deal less damage and allow for more hits per enemy.

+*Another good place to go to level this form up is The World That Never Was. Since there are many Nobodies here it makes it easier to land the required number of hits to level up.
+*If you play ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' and you are at least in LV48, try training Valor Form in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]]: the enemies are powered-up versions of their original counterparts, which take more hits to be defeated. Also, many of the enemies (particularly Magic Phantom) drop Drive Orbs, and there are five balloons in the Cavern of Remembrance which drop Drive Orbs.

+== Trivia ==
+[[File:Valor-Combo.gif|thumb|right|A common Valor Form combo]]
+*If one uses a cheat device to get this Form while still playing as Roxas, they will discover that Dual-Wield Roxas and Valor Form have the same abilities.
+*While Valor Form's abilities match Dual-Wield Roxas', the fleur-de-lis pattern also matches that around Ventus' Awakening Station, as well as the colors of Vanitas' half during their fusion.
+*Arguably, Valor Form is one of the lesser forms, (being the first introduced) due to its lack of magic as well as not being able to guard. However, it is very easy to level up. This makes it very valuable right up to the end of the game. However, because he uses two Keyblades with his Magic disabled, this Form is also takes away virtually all of Sora's defensive capabilities; only Anti Form is more vulnerable to enemy attacks than this Form.
+*Strangely, even though Goofy has special abilities that use up magic, Valor Form does not.
+*In this form Sora is very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo.
+*Over the Horizon is the exact same as the first hit of Valor's aerial combo, except that it covers much more horizontal distance.
+*Valor Form's name may refer to a ''Final Fantasy'' spell of the same name. Valor, also known as Bravery, is a spell that boosts the target's attack damage.
