Sonic Blade: Difference between revisions

[[File:Sonic Blade KH.gif|300px|thumb|Sonic Blade consists of a rapid series of high-speed thrusts.]]

{{nihongo|'''Sonic Blade'''|ソニックレイヴ|Sonikku Reivu|lit. "Sonic Rave"}}, translated as "'''Sonic Rave'''" in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to execute a number of successive thrusting attacks. After the first attack, each successive attack is activated through a prompt command.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sonic Blade is a [[Special Ability]] that Sora can use while on the ground against a target at mid range. It lets Sora charge with the Keyblade up to seven times. Sora is invulnerable during the technique, save for in the ''Final Mix'' version where he is only invincible during the first thrust. Selecting the {{nihongo|'''Sonic'''|ソニック|Sonikku}} command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional five attacks can be added by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Rave'''|レイヴ|Reivu}} command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Blast'''|フィニッシュ|Finisshu|lit. "Finish"}} command when it appears. In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the initial Sonic command, the Rave followups, and the Blast finisher are all implemented as [[Reaction Commands]]. Sonic Blade costs 3 {{AP}} to equip and 2 [[MP]] to use.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Sonic Blade is an [[attack sleight]] that allows Sora to dash back and forth across the field, and can be steered slightly up or down as it is executed. The dashes are slower than in other games, allowing the player time to add up to six additional thrusts by pressing {{button|dsa}} at the end of each dash. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', the dashes automatically target an enemy and cover a greater distance, although they can miss if the target is airborne. Additional attacks are activated by pressing {{button|t}} when prompted, but the timing for the press is stricter, and pressing {{button|t}} at the wrong time cancels the sleight. The card combination for Sonic Blade is:

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Sonic Blade is an Ultimate {{c|attack command|BBS}} that takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%. If used in midair, they will return to the ground before unleashing the thrusts.{{?}}

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Sonic Blade is an {{c|attack command|DDD}} exclusive to Sora that uses two slots and has a reload time of 36 seconds. It lets the user relentlessly charge at the enemy ten times. It grants +3 to [[Strength]] and +1 to [[Defense]] when attached to a [[Dream Eater]] recipe. This version of Sonic Blade does not require additional button presses, can be initiated in midair, but also lacks the invulnerability of previous versions.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Sonic Blade is the second-level Finish Command of [[Second Form]]. After the initial thrust, Sora can use the '''Rave''' command to perform up to five dashing strikes, before finishing with the '''Blast''' command. Like its ''Dream Drop Distance'' incarnation, this version can be activated in midair.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', [[Cloud]] uses a powerful version of Sonic Blade as one of his special attacks.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Cloud still uses Sonic Blade as a special attack.

Although Sonic Blade cannot be performed by any playable character in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', {{ns|Game|Xion}} in her First Form can perform a midair three-strike attack similar in execution to Sonic Blade.
