Stats
As in other role-playing games, the various traits of a Kingdom Hearts character are measured by their stats. Stats measure attributes such as the magnitude of damage dealt by the character's attacks, the number of abilities they can equip, or how many spells they can cast consecutively. Stats generally grow throughout the course of each game, as characters level up or complete certain objectives.
Recurring Stats
Level
A character's level is a represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character. The character's level will go up each time they obtain set amounts of experience points; normally the level is automatically increased, while in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the player is instead awarded Level Up panels or chips that they can choose to equip. This generally provides the character with an assortment of bonuses to their other stats, with the exception of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, in which the player chooses one of three bonuses upon leveling up.
HP
Hit Points, or HP, represent a character's or enemy's health. When damage is taken in battle or in the field, the damage is taken out of the current HP. Once HP falls to zero, the character is knocked out and can no longer fight. In the case of the main character, losing all HP results in a Game Over. HP can be restored with healing items like Potions and Elixirs, Cure magic, or some abilities.
Boosting maximum HP
In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the maximum HP may increase upon leveling up. The increases occur more frequently when choosing the Dream Shield in the Dive to the Heart.
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, HP starts at 80. Upon leveling up, the player may choose to increase maximum HP by 15.
In Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Birth by Sleep, increases in maximum HP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, equipping Level Up panels raises maximum HP, with the amount depending on the character.
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, equipping Level Up and HP + Stat Chips in the Stat Matrix increases maximum HP, up to 400. Maximum HP may be affected by Cheats.
MP
Magic Points, or MP, represents a character's ability to cast magic and use certain active abilities in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items like Ethers and Elixirs, or with some abilities.
In Kingdom Hearts, the length of the MP bar determines the amount of damage inflicted by Magic.
Boosting maximum MP
In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the maximum MP may increase upon leveling up. The increases occur more frequently when choosing the Dream Rod in the Dive to the Heart.
In Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, increases in maximum MP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks.
