The Vol de Nuit (ヴォル・ドゥ・ニュイ Voru du Nyui?, Fra: "Night Flight") is a set of Knives that can be wielded by Larxene in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to the Vol de Nuit+.

Design

A Vol de Nuit Knife's blade is shaped like a large, gold arrowhead. The blade has three holes in it; two circular ones near the top, and one lens-shaped one near the base, The inner edges of these holes are black. The shaft of the blade is pale yellow and the handle is vaguely shaped like a four-pointed star. The bottom three spikes are yellow. There is a thin, blue line just above the handle, and an even thinner, brown line just above that.

Vol de Nuit is the name of a book from the French author Antoine de Saint Exupéry, in which a pilot is trapped in a storm.

Gameplay

Vol de Nuit's ground combo begins with two slashes, right and left, followed by identical right and left slashes. From there, the Y-Combo is prompted, which branches into a jump-and-spin attack. From that move branches into another Y-Combo in which Larxene does a mid-air roll, ending in a downward slash with both sets of knives. The normal ground combo finisher is a low, circular spin move.

The aerial combo is much simpler, containing no Y-Combo prompts whatsoever. It begins with a simple swipe to the right, followed by a downward slash with both sets of knives, finished by a double roll and downward slash.
