Sliding Dash
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 Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Sliding Dash is an ability that costs 1 AP to equip. When using Sliding Dash, the user propels himself forward with the Keyblade (in Sora's case, he spins on his keyblade planted on the ground), then swings the Keyblade in front to strike enemies (slides with it pointing forward).
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re: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.
In Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it is an Action Ability that costs 2 AP to equip. The user quickly rushes forward with keyblade held forward.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it 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. When using Sliding Dash, the user quickly slides up to the targeted enemy and then attacks.
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it 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% upon connecting with an enemy. When using Sliding Dash, rushes forward in a charging attack that can be used both on the ground and in the air.
