As in other role-playing games, the various traits of a Kingdom Hearts character are measured by their stats. Stats measure attributes such as the magnitude of damage dealt by the character's attacks, the number of abilities they can equip, or how many spells they can cast consecutively. Stats generally grow throughout the course of each game, as characters level up or complete certain objectives.
Recurring Stats[edit]
Level[edit]
A character's level represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character. The character's level will go up each time they obtain set amounts of experience points; normally the level is automatically increased, while in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the player is instead awarded Level Up panels or chips that they can choose to equip. This generally provides the character with an assortment of bonuses to their other stats, with the exception of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, in which the player chooses one of three bonuses upon leveling up. In the original game, gaining a level fully restores the player character's HP, and in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, it only does so if the chosen bonus is the HP.
Leveling up may also grant additional bonuses besides stat increases. In Kingdom Hearts, leveling up may grant a new ability, an additional slot for items, or an additional equipment slot for accessories. In Kingdom Hearts II, leveling up may grant a new ability. In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, one of the bonuses available to Sora after leveling up may be a new sleight.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Drive Forms and summons gain experience and level up independently of Sora's level. The same goes for commands in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for each playable character, which require command points in order to level up.
Hit Points (HP)[edit]
Hit Points, Health Points, or HP, represent a character's or enemy's health. When damage is taken in battle or in the field, the damage is taken out of the current HP. Once HP falls to zero, the character is knocked out and can no longer fight until they revive by themselves, a healing item or spell is used or cast on them, or they get rescued. In the case of the main character, losing all HP results in a Game Over.
HP can be restored by collecting HP Prizes, or with healing items like Potions and Elixirs, Cure magic, or some abilities.
A character's current and maximum HP are indicated on-screen by the green HP gauge, which typically accompanies an image of the character. An enemy's HP gauge will appear on-screen if the Scan ability is equipped, with certain games displaying it automatically without the need for Scan.
Boosting maximum HP[edit]
In Kingdom Hearts, maximum HP may increase upon leveling up. Additionally, equipping some accessories also boosts maximum HP. Sora's initial maximum HP is 18, and Donald's initial maximum HP at level one is 12.
In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, HP starts at 80. Upon leveling up, the player may choose to increase maximum HP by 15. HP will eventually max out at 560.
In Kingdom Hearts II, maximum HP will be increased by gaining Bonus Levels. Sora starts out at 20 HP and each Bonus Level HP increase increases Sora's maximum HP by 5 and after acquiring all Bonus Level HP increases, HP will max out at 120. On Critical Mode, each increase only improves HP by 2 and it will max at 60.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, equipping Level Up panels raises maximum HP, with the amount depending on the character. Maximum HP may also be boosted by equipping certain ring panels.
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, increases in maximum HP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks. Additionally, equipping the HP Boost ability also boosts maximum HP.
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, equipping Level Up, Trophy, or HP + Stat Chips in the Stat Matrix increases maximum HP, up to 400. Maximum HP may be affected by Cheat Tuners.
In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, increases in maximum HP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks. Additionally, equipping the HP Boost ability also boosts maximum HP.
In Kingdom Hearts III, maximum HP will be permanently increased by gaining Bonus Levels. HP can be temporarily boosted by eating meals created with the assistance of Little Chef in Le Grand Bistrot. Critical Mode reduces the maximum HP of each character significantly.
Magic Points (MP)[edit]
Magic Points, or MP, represents a character's ability to cast magic and use certain active abilities in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, and Kingdom Hearts III. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items like Ethers and Elixirs, or with some abilities.
In Kingdom Hearts, the maximum MP determines the strength of magic spells, such as the amount of damage inflicted by magic, the amount of HP restored by Cure, or the length of Aero, though it does not affect special abilities such as Sonic Blade, as they rely on the Strength stat to calculate their damage. Later games have this instead be determined by a separate Magic stat.
A character's current and maximum MP are indicated on-screen by the blue MP gauge, which appears alongside their HP gauge.
Boosting maximum MP[edit]
In Kingdom Hearts, maximum MP increases when leveling up to certain level thresholds. Additionally, equipping some accessories and weapons can boost, or in some cases lower, maximum MP. Sora's initial maximum MP will be 3 if he chooses the Dream Rod in the Dive to the Heart, and 2 otherwise. His maximum MP increases to 10 with the Dream Rod at level 66, or 8 at level 60 with the Dream Sword or level 66 with the Dream Shield. By equipping the Spellbinder, Lady Luck, or Ultima Weapon, in addition to three accessories that increase maximum MP by 2, Sora can increase his maximum MP to 18 if the Dream Rod was selected, or 16 otherwise. Donald Duck starts with a maximum of 3 MP at level 1, and increases to 10 at level 79. Goofy starts with a maximum of 1 MP at level 1, and increases to 5 at level 56.
In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Sora can achieve a maximum MP of 19 if the Dream Rod was selected, or 17 otherwise, after reaching a very high level and equipping the Diamond Dust Keychain, which increases MP by 3, along with three accessories that increase maximum MP by 2. In Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, Sora's maximum MP can be reduced to 0 by choosing either the Dream Sword or Dream Shield, equipping the EXP Zero ability to avoid him getting increased maximum MP on a level up, and equipping the One-Winged Angel, which reduces maximum MP by 2, and no MP-boosting accessories.
In Kingdom Hearts II, Sora's maximum MP will be increased by gaining Bonus Levels. Sora's MP starts at 100, each Bonus Level MP increase increases Sora's maximum MP by 10, and after acquiring all Bonus Level MP increases, MP will max out at 140. On Critical Mode, each increase only improves MP by 5 and it will max at 120. Other characters have a maximum MP of 100 which cannot be increased.
In Kingdom Hearts III, Sora's maximum MP will be increased by gaining Bonus Levels. All characters starting maximum MP values are decreased in Critical Mode. During the main story, each increase improves MP by 5, while MP increases acquired during the story of Re Mind improve MP by 3. On Critical Mode, each increase only improves MP by 2 during the main story.

There are resistances to Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder, as well as resistance to Dark in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts III, and resistance to Aero in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Kingdom Hearts 3D introduces resistances to Water and Light.
A character's elemental resistance is determined by equipping accessories in Kingdom Hearts, armor in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III, Screen-type Stats abilities in Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, and Elemental Resistance Stat Chips in Re:coded. In Re:coded, each elemental resistance can be increased up to 100%.
In Kingdom Heart 358/2 Days, Elemental Resistance on playable characters only instead provides protection against status affects associated with each element. There are resistances to Nil, Space, Wind, Ice, Earth, Illusion, Moon, Fire, Water, Time, Flower, Lightning, and Light. Resistances can be provided by certain accessories. Additionally, most characters possess an innate resistance to a specific element that increases by 10% every 10 levels.
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]
Due to the unique battle system of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Sora, Riku, and enemies are given a revised array of stats, with only HP carrying over. For Sora's case only, the various amounts of damage he deals in battle are now determined by the stats of the battle cards and sleights he uses, instead of having a stat that gets increased every level.
Cost Points (CP)[edit]
Cost Points (コストポイント Kosuto Pointo), or CP, dictate the number of cards that can be put into Sora's deck. Maximum deck CP starts at 275, and it can be increased by 25 after leveling up, up to a maximum of 1900 in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or 1625 in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. Each card costs a certain amount of CP to be placed in a deck. Higher-valued cards have a higher CP cost, and cards with a value of 0 cost more than cards with a value of 9. The CP cost for cards with a value of 1 is a multiple of 5, ranging from 10 to 50, and for each value higher, it adds 10% of the initial cost (rounded down). Premium Cards always cost the same as a card with a value of 1. Enemy Cards and Special Cards have a set CP cost.
Attack Power (AP)[edit]
| This section is about Attack Power. You may be looking for Ability Points or Action Points. |
Attack Power, or AP, determine the amount of damage one can inflict when attacking, akin to the Strength and Magic stats. Enemies's AP change depending on the floor on which they're fought, along with their HP. Sora's AP is fixed at 10, while Riku's AP starts at 10, can be increased by 1 after leveling up (can only be selected every 5 levels), and can reach a maximum of 30.
In Link Mode, Sora's AP is initially set to 6, but can be changed before a match to a value between 1 and 11.
Dark Points (DP)[edit]
Dark Points, or DP, determines how long Riku can stay in Dark Mode. Maximum DP starts at 8, and it can be increased by 2 after leveling up at any point in Chain of Memories or once Dark Mode becomes available in Re:Chain of Memories. In the latter game, if a high enough level is reached and the first two level up options are exhausted, the ability to increase Dark Points is unlocked regardless of if Dark Mode is unlocked. If increased fully, DP will cap at 99 in Re:Chain of Memories. In Chain of Memories, there is no limit to how high DP can go, only being limited by the maximum level.
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded[edit]
Luck[edit]
Luck increases the probability of enemies dropping items upon defeat, akin to the Lucky Lucky ability.
Raising Luck[edit]
Luck can be increased by installing rare Lucky Strike chips into the Stat Matrix.
In the Avatar Menu, increasing Happiness to its maximum value will double Data-Sora's Luck; getting this boost is the only way to raise his Luck to its maximum of 28.
