Dark Firaga allows a Keyblade wielder to launch a seething orb of darkness at the opponent from the tip of the Keyblade. Terra's version of this attack continues to follow its target, even after its initial impact.

Dark Firaga (ダークファイガ, Dāku Faiga, lit. "Dark Figa") is a technique that was introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to fire a ball of dark flames at a target.

Mechanics

When wielding the Soul Eater, Riku launches Dark Firaga from the palm of his hand.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Dark Firaga is an attack sleight that Riku can use while in Dark Mode. Riku charges and unleashes a fiery dark projectile from his free hand, dealing a considerable amount of neutral damage. The projectile itself behaves similar to Fire magic, traveling at a fast speed with some homing capabilities. Its card combination is:

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Riku's version of Dark Firaga splits into several smaller fireballs before homing in on a target.
