Sliding Dash

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Sliding Dash allows the user to jet forward, propelled by a flurry of wind.

Sliding Dash (スライドダッシュ, Suraido Dasshu, lit. "Slide Dash") is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It allows the user to quickly close in on a target and attack.

Mechanics

In Final Mix and Re:Chain of Memories, Sliding Dash allows the user to pivot around their Keyblade into a sliding kick.

In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Sliding Dash is a combat ability that costs 1 AP to equip. It activates when the user tries to attack an enemy just out of reach, whereupon the user propels himself forward with the Keyblade, then swings the Keyblade in front to strike enemies.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Sliding Dash is an attack sleight. When using Sliding Dash, the user propels himself forward with the Keyblade, then swings the Keyblade in front to strike enemies. Its card combination is:

+ + (10-15)
Three attack cards of the same type.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Sliding Dash is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. It activates when the user tries to attack an enemy just out of reach, whereupon the user quickly slides forward before slashing at the enemy.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Sliding Dash is an ability panel that can take up one or three slots. The ability can be leveled up from Sliding Dash LV1 to Sliding Dash LV2 and Sliding Dash LV3 by linking Sliding Dash LV+ Ⓛ (ダッシュアップⓁ, Dasshu Appu Ⓛ, lit. "Dash Up Ⓛ") panels. Sliding Dash activates when the user tries to attack an enemy just out of reach, whereupon the user quickly slides up to the targeted enemy and then attacks.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Sliding Dash is a Basic attack command that takes up one slot, has a maximum level of 3, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%. When using Sliding Dash, the user rushes forward in a charging attack that can be used either on the ground or in the air.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Sliding Dash is an attack command that has a memory consumption of 10% and a reload time of 15 seconds. The user charges forward with a Keyblade thrust, on the ground or in midair.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Sliding Dash is an attack command that uses one slot in the Command Deck and has a reload time of 10 seconds. It grants +1 to Strength when attached to a Dream Eater recipe.
