Tech Points

Tech Points are a special type of experience points in Kingdom Hearts. Tech Points are earned when the player exploits an enemies weakness, parries an enemy attack with an attack of their own, or uses an enemy's attack against themselves (usually deflecting some sort of projectile attack). Some common ways to earn Tech Points include the following, with examples:

• Parry an opponent's melee attack (Many enemies)
• Reflect an opponent's projectile and hit them with it (Ice Titan)
• Use a special attack the opponent is weak too (hitting Red Nocturne with Blizzard)

There are also other ways to earn Tech Points. The first time the player can earn Tech Points is fighting Leon is Traverse Town. When Leon fires a fireball, if the player times their attack to deflect the fireball back at him, Leon will be stunned and the player will earn two Tech Points - one for blocking the attack and another for hitting Leon with it.
