Weapons (KH)

Weapons (武器, Buki) are a type of equipment in Kingdom Hearts. Each character can equip one weapon, which increases their stats. World-exclusive party members have one available weapon which cannot be changed.

Jack Skellington and Ariel have a weapon called "No Weapon", and Beast has a weapon called "Claws", which do not increase their stats, as they are not actual weapons.

Mechanics

Every weapon in Kingdom Hearts has a recoil (反動, Handō) value that is used to determine how long the user will take to recover after guarding an attack. A character's recoil value is equal to the weapon's recoil value + 40. If the character's recoil value is greater than the recoil value of the blocked attack, the user will recover quickly (and, in the case of Sora, have the option to perform a Counterattack). If the recoil value of the blocked attack is greater than that of the character, the user will suffer a longer period of recoil, the opponent's blockable attack cannot be interrupted and if the attack has projectiles that can normally be deflected back, they cannot be deflected.
