However, contrasting the defense-focused [[Aerial Recovery]], using it will not grant Sora invincibility when recovering, leaving him potentially very vulnerable. Also, as a recovery-type action, it will remove the effects of abilities such as [[Second Chance]] and [[Once More]] on activation, possibly leading to a Game Over if the ability is not used wisely.
