The {{nihongo|'''Dream Shield'''|ガードオブドリーム|Gādo obu Dorīmu|lit. "Guard of Dream"}} is a weapon in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]], and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]. In the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'', you have the option to choose this, or one of two other dream weapons. If you choose this weapon, you will focus mainly on defense, rather than magic or offense.

The '''Dream Shield''' is a weapon which appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''. It appears within [[Sora]], [[Roxas]], and [[Data-Sora]]'s [[Dive to the Heart]], alongside the [[Dream Sword]] and [[Dream Rod]]. These three weapons represent the paths that Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora can take — the path of the warrior, the guardian, or the mystic. As the weapon of the guardian, the Dream Shield focuses on defense and avoids strength, and if Sora or Roxas choose it, they will learn their defensive abilities at lower levels. Additionally, Sora will eventually gain two extra Item Slots. Data-Sora will gain a [[Round Blitz]] command if he chooses the Dream Shield, and a [[Sliding Dash]] command if he gives it up.


==Appearances==
If Sora chooses the Dream Shield in ''Kingdom Hearts'', he will use it as a weapon throughout his Dive to the Heart. Like the Dream Sword and Dream Rod, it will disappear at the end of the dream. In contrast, if Roxas or Data-Sora chooses the Dream Shield in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', it will immediately transform into his Kingdom Key.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
The Dream Shield is one of the Disney-themed weapons that appear in ''Kingdom Hearts''. [[Sora]] obtains the Dream Shield in the [[Awakening]], but only if the player chooses to take this weapon. The player can also ignore it, or discard it. If they accept to use the Dream Shield, then Sora's stats will focus on [[Defense]], and he will learn support abilities more quickly. If he discards it, then Defense will be the least focused stat. If he ignores it, then Defense will grow normally. If [[Sora]] takes the Dream Shield, he loses it upon leaving the Awakening. Later in the game, the shield may be obtained as a weapon for [[Goofy]].


===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', after obtaining each of the seven spell [[White Mushroom#Arts|Arts]], [[Merlin]] will reward [[Goofy]]'s progress with the Dream Shield. Goofy can also equip this shield within [[Mission Mode]] in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
The Dream Shield appears as one of Goofy's few weapons in the Multiplayer Mode of ''358/2 Days''. To equip it, Goofy must have the [[Zero Gear | Zero Gear 5]] attached. The [[Dream Rod]] and [[Dream Sword]] also appear as weapons for secret characters [[Donald]] and Sora, respectively.


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
==Design==
The Dream Shield made a cameo appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', along with other elements from the Awakening that [[Roxas]] found in the [[Station of Awakening]]. Like Sora, the player may choose to accept the shield or not. However, it turns into the [[Keyblade]] if taken.
The Dream Shield has a simple design. It is pentagonal and its bottom three corners are rounded. It has a red border and the top and bottom two corners all sport a silver bolt or pin. Most of the face of the shield is black, save for the prominent {{w|Hidden Mickey}} symbol in the center. This symbol is red and has a pale yellow outline.


==Stats==
==Gameplay==
{|align="center" style="border:solid 2px #FFFFFF; -moz-border-radius: 10px; text-align:center"
Goofy can wield this weapon in Mission Mode within ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' by equipping the [[Zero Gear]]. The ground combo consists of a series of continuous 360° spins, followed by dive forward. If one presses {{Button|dsy}} during one of the spins, Goofy will dive forward sooner. The aerial combo consists of a downward slash with the bottom of the shield followed by Goofy doing a backflip, jumping on the shield, and driving it downward.

—Dive to the Heart

The Dream Shield is a weapon which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It appears within Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora's Dive to the Heart, alongside the Dream Sword and Dream Rod. These three weapons represent the paths that Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora can take — the path of the warrior, the guardian, or the mystic. As the weapon of the guardian, the Dream Shield focuses on defense and avoids strength, and if Sora or Roxas choose it, they will learn their defensive abilities at lower levels. Additionally, Sora will eventually gain two extra Item Slots. Data-Sora will gain a Round Blitz command if he chooses the Dream Shield, and a Sliding Dash command if he gives it up.

If Sora chooses the Dream Shield in Kingdom Hearts, he will use it as a weapon throughout his Dive to the Heart. Like the Dream Sword and Dream Rod, it will disappear at the end of the dream. In contrast, if Roxas or Data-Sora chooses the Dream Shield in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, it will immediately transform into his Kingdom Key.

In Kingdom Hearts, after obtaining each of the seven spell Arts, Merlin will reward Goofy's progress with the Dream Shield. Goofy can also equip this shield within Mission Mode in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design[edit]

The Dream Shield has a simple design. It is pentagonal and its bottom three corners are rounded. It has a red border and the top and bottom two corners all sport a silver bolt or pin. Most of the face of the shield is black, save for the prominent Hidden Mickey symbol in the center. This symbol is red and has a pale yellow outline.

Gameplay[edit]

Goofy can wield this weapon in Mission Mode within Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days by equipping the Zero Gear. The ground combo consists of a series of continuous 360° spins, followed by dive forward. If one presses Y during one of the spins, Goofy will dive forward sooner. The aerial combo consists of a downward slash with the bottom of the shield followed by Goofy doing a backflip, jumping on the shield, and driving it downward.

Notes and references[edit]

  1. ^ In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the description incorrectly states it raises max MP by 2, when it only raises max MP by 1.
