'''Ragnarok''', translated as '''Infinity''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to fire a cluster of energy shots from the tip of their [[Keyblade]].


==Mechanics==
==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Ragnarok is a [[Special Ability]]. When close to an airborne enemy, selecting the '''Ragnarok''' command will cause [[Sora]] to automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a aerial attack combo, after which he will hover while charging energy. Unlike [[Sonic Blade]] or [[Ars Arcanum]], it requires no timing to execute the finisher, '''Burst'''; however, the longer Sora charges before using Burst, the more projectiles are fired and the heavier the damage, with the optimal time being immediately after the Keyblade releases a circular burst of light. The projectiles home in on enemies after being fired, while Sora can move freely. It costs 4 [[AP]] to equip and 3 [[MP]] to use.
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Ragnarok is a [[Special Ability]]. When close to a target at a slightly-high elevation or higher, selecting the '''Ragnarok''' command will cause [[Sora]] to automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a five hit aerial attack combo, after which he will hover while charging energy into a sphere from the tip of the Keyblade. Unlike [[Sonic Blade]] or [[Ars Arcanum]], it requires no timing to execute the finisher, {{nihongo|'''Impact'''|インパクト|Inpakuto}}; however, the longer Sora charges before using Impact, the more projectiles are fired and the heavier the damage, with the optimal time being the instant the Keyblade releases a circular flash of light. The projectiles home in on enemies after being fired, while Sora can move freely. Waiting too long to use Impact causes the energy to dissipate without releasing the projectiles. Sora is invincible during the initial weapon combo, but when Sora is charging the projectiles, he is left vulnerable to damage. In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the initial Ragnarok command and the Impact command are implemented as [[Reaction Commands]]. Ragnarok costs 4 {{AP}} to equip and 3 [[MP]] to use. When Ragnarok is fired just after enemies are cleared in a room, the projectiles will fly and lock on to a specific spot often out of Sora's reach, as opposed to scattering in random directions.


In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Ragnarok is an [[Attack Sleight]]. Pressing {{button|dsa}} — {{button|x}} in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' — fires the projectiles sooner, but fewer are fired.<!--is there an indicator? does it fire on its own if you wait?--> In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', the rays home in on enemies.
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Ragnarok is an [[attack sleight]] that allows Sora to simply rise into the air, then fire a fusillade of beams horizontally across the field. Sora can adjust his position as he hovers, and will fire the beams automatically after a short period of time. While pressing {{button|dsa}} fires the projectiles sooner, it does not modify the damage dealt.  


In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Ragnarok is an [[Action ability]] available while in [[Limit Form]], either from the Limit menu or by pressing {{button|x}} in the Shortcut menu. Using Ragnarok will trigger an aerial attack combo, followed by Sora charging energy while in the air. Selecting one of the [[Reaction Command]]s that appear, '''Shoot''', '''Impact''', or '''Giga Impact'''<!--are there any others? what happens if you wait too long?-->, will fire the charged projectiles. Waiting until Giga Impact before pressing {{button|t}} will fire the most rays. The projectiles home in on enemies.
In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', the fusillade homes in on targets, and Sora moves slower as he adjusts position while also being able to turn his aiming direction. Using {{button|x}} to fire the fusillade when the burst of light appears (or at any point after it) will generate more beams, and the amount will not increase any further even if Sora simply waits for the attack to fire on its own. Sora is unable to move until all the beams all dissipate to end the sleight normally, and the beams all normally track downward mainly to impact the ground sooner if they happen to curve around specific targets.


In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Ragnarok is Sora's [[Limit Break]]. The Final Limit version fires larger, faster shots that lose their homing ability but are propelled together in a drilling formation, piercing through enemy guards. For both, allowing it to charge before pressing {{button|dsa}} will fire a larger number of projectiles.<!--what's the indicator for max charge?-->
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Infinity is a [[limit]] that is exclusive to [[Genie]]. The limit begins with '''Infinity''', in which Sora and Genie act as one unit to move forward while punching at enemies while their weapons fly about them. {{button|lana}} can be used to steer direction. Afterwards, '''Impact''' causes Genie to click his fingers three times as Sora uses their weapons as a clock counting down to generate a large explosion of firework-like magic explosions.


In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ragnarok is a [[Shotlock]] that has a maximum level of 4 and max lock of 16. Once the attack has begun, the player can perform extra attacks by pressing {{button|x}} at the right time to fire additional projectiles.
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Infinity is also an [[action ability]] exclusive to [[Limit Form]]. It is a [[limit]] that is equipped by default and costs 80 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to {{button|x}} in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs an aerial attack combo and then uses his Keyblade to charge up energy in the air. Then, the energy releases homing projectiles through one out of several [[Reaction Command]]s, which are available in quick succession and vary in projectile quantity. {{a|'''Shoot'''}} is the weakest attack and is eventually replaced by the more powerful {{a|'''Impact'''}} attack. Soon after, there is a brief opportunity to execute {{a|'''Giga Impact'''}}, which fires the most projectiles and gives Limit Form 1 Exp Point. Afterwards, Shoot is available again and is executed automatically if too much time passes. Each individual projectile deals damage relative to two-thirds of Sora's Magic stat, as well as Neutral damage that bypasses physical defenses. [[HP Gain]] restores Sora's HP only when he hits the enemies with his aerial combo.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Ragnarok is Sora's [[Limit Break]]. It allows Sora to lift into the air and gather thin lasers into a sphere, which can be fired with {{button|dsa}}, releasing projectiles that home in on enemies to deal heavy damage. The lasers can be charged up until a prime point, signaled by a white flash, whereby {{button|dsa}} releases the maximum number of projectiles. The Final Limit also releases trios of spinning capsule-shaped beams, which travel in a straight line to deal devastating damage to enemies and pierce their guard.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Ragnarok is a [[Shotlock]] that has a maximum level of 4 and max lock of 16. Once the attack has begun, the player can perform extra attacks by pressing {{button|x}} at the right time to fire additional projectiles.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Ragnarok is a [[Dual Attack]] that allows the user and Spirits to fire countless projectiles, dealing {{c|Light|element}}-elemental damage. Enemies can be hit up to 20 times.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'', Ragnarok is a [[special attack]] that targets all enemies. It costs 2 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts damage with no attributes.

Ragnarok, translated as Infinity in Kingdom Hearts II, is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to fire a cluster of energy shots from the tip of their Keyblade.

Mechanics[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts, Ragnarok is a Special Ability. When close to a target at a slightly-high elevation or higher, selecting the Ragnarok command will cause Sora to automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a five hit aerial attack combo, after which he will hover while charging energy into a sphere from the tip of the Keyblade. Unlike Sonic Blade or Ars Arcanum, it requires no timing to execute the finisher, Impact (インパクト Inpakuto?); however, the longer Sora charges before using Impact, the more projectiles are fired and the heavier the damage, with the optimal time being the instant the Keyblade releases a circular flash of light. The projectiles home in on enemies after being fired, while Sora can move freely. Waiting too long to use Impact causes the energy to dissipate without releasing the projectiles. Sora is invincible during the initial weapon combo, but when Sora is charging the projectiles, he is left vulnerable to damage. In the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Ragnarok command and the Impact command are implemented as Reaction Commands. Ragnarok costs 4 AP to equip and 3 MP to use. When Ragnarok is fired just after enemies are cleared in a room, the projectiles will fly and lock on to a specific spot often out of Sora's reach, as opposed to scattering in random directions.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Ragnarok is an attack sleight that allows Sora to simply rise into the air, then fire a fusillade of beams horizontally across the field. Sora can adjust his position as he hovers, and will fire the beams automatically after a short period of time. While pressing A fires the projectiles sooner, it does not modify the damage dealt.

In Re:Chain of Memories, the fusillade homes in on targets, and Sora moves slower as he adjusts position while also being able to turn his aiming direction. Using X to fire the fusillade when the burst of light appears (or at any point after it) will generate more beams, and the amount will not increase any further even if Sora simply waits for the attack to fire on its own. Sora is unable to move until all the beams all dissipate to end the sleight normally, and the beams all normally track downward mainly to impact the ground sooner if they happen to curve around specific targets.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Infinity is a limit that is exclusive to Genie. The limit begins with Infinity, in which Sora and Genie act as one unit to move forward while punching at enemies while their weapons fly about them. Left Stick can be used to steer direction. Afterwards, Impact causes Genie to click his fingers three times as Sora uses their weapons as a clock counting down to generate a large explosion of firework-like magic explosions.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Infinity is also an action ability exclusive to Limit Form. It is a limit that is equipped by default and costs 80 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to X in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs an aerial attack combo and then uses his Keyblade to charge up energy in the air. Then, the energy releases homing projectiles through one out of several Reaction Commands, which are available in quick succession and vary in projectile quantity. Shoot is the weakest attack and is eventually replaced by the more powerful Impact attack. Soon after, there is a brief opportunity to execute Giga Impact, which fires the most projectiles and gives Limit Form 1 Exp Point. Afterwards, Shoot is available again and is executed automatically if too much time passes. Each individual projectile deals damage relative to two-thirds of Sora's Magic stat, as well as Neutral damage that bypasses physical defenses. HP Gain restores Sora's HP only when he hits the enemies with his aerial combo.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Ragnarok is Sora's Limit Break. It allows Sora to lift into the air and gather thin lasers into a sphere, which can be fired with A, releasing projectiles that home in on enemies to deal heavy damage. The lasers can be charged up until a prime point, signaled by a white flash, whereby A releases the maximum number of projectiles. The Final Limit also releases trios of spinning capsule-shaped beams, which travel in a straight line to deal devastating damage to enemies and pierce their guard.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Ragnarok is a Shotlock that has a maximum level of 4 and max lock of 16. Once the attack has begun, the player can perform extra attacks by pressing X at the right time to fire additional projectiles.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Ragnarok is a Dual Attack that allows the user and Spirits to fire countless projectiles, dealing Light-elemental damage. Enemies can be hit up to 20 times.

In Kingdom Hearts Union χ, Ragnarok is a special attack that targets all enemies. It costs 2 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts damage with no attributes.

Ragnarok +5 6★ x2.24 x2.32 x2.40 x2.48 x2.56 x2.64 2
Ragnarok +6 7★ — — — — — x7.80 2

In Kingdom Hearts III, Ragnarok is a max-level Shotlock that requires 24 locks to use. When activated, Sora Formchanges into Second Form and fires streams of brilliant light that fly at his targets.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Xion's version of Ragnarok causes her to launch long-lasting projectiles from the tip of her weapon that slowly homes in on the player character.

In her second form, Xion can use Ragnarok against the player if too much distance is maintained. The attack is Nil-based and ignores defense completely.

World of Final Fantasy[edit]

Sora uses the Kingdom Hearts iteration of Ragnarok as the final part of his Champion Summon.

Origin[edit]

Ragnarök is an event in Norse mythology that is similar to the Apocalypse. It is an event that is set off by the death of the god Balder, which was orchestrated by Loki. The Ragnarok was a final clash of all the major entities of Norse mythology. This caused all of the human spirits up in Valhalla to come down for the final battle. This bloody encounter ebbs with the destruction of the universe and Balder along with a little handful of entities that are put in the bodies of children and only contain memories of the world before Ragnarok. Those entities would become mortal.

Ragnarok is also a recurring Summon and weapon that appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. It also appears as an airship and a legendary beast.
