Highwind (ハイウインド, Haiuindo) is a Formchange in Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to transform their Keyblade into a spear, allowing long-ranged attacks.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts III, Highwind is the Wheel of Fate Keyblade's first Formchange. Its ground and aerial combos are nearly identical. The combo begins with Sora pulling back the spear before thrusting the Keyblade forward, then slashing the spear upwards, followed by a horizontal spinning slash and then twisting upwards while slamming the spear onto the ground. If Sora is above an enemy, he sometimes thrusts the spear onto the ground, pushing enemies back; if he is beneath, he instead does a spiraling thrust upwards . The first combo finisher involves Sora thrusting the spear as ethereal copies of it thrust forwards before thrusting upwards, while the second involves him teleporting upwards, sending the ethereal spears downwards in a circular arc, and finally slamming the ground.

When using Highwind, Magic instead manifests as Sora firing orbs of magic from the spear's blade, detonating upon hitting the enemy.
