'''Aerial Recovery''' is a support ability in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.

The player learns this ability as [[Roxas]] after defeating the [[Dusk]] [[Nobody|Nobodies]] in the [[Station of Serenity]]. It then gets transferred to Sora after Sora wakes up from his sleep. It costs 2 Ability Points.
