The Gear Matrix (デコレーションマトリックス Dekorēshon Matorikkusu , lit. "Decoration Matrix") handles Data-Sora's equipment in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, including Keyblades, accessories, and Finish commands. In effect, the Gear Matrix determines how the Overclock system is implemented.
Accessories are equipped in a similar fashion to the rest of the series, with each granting special bonuses, such as resistance to certain elements or stat boosts. More Accessory Slots can be acquired through progression on the Stat Matrix.
Overclock
As Sora successfully uses the Attack command and deck commands on enemies or certain objects, the clock gauge fills up. Each time the gauge fills completely, the clock level increases by one, activating an ability on the equipped Keyblade's unique Clock Ability Tree and moving on to the next tier. The abilities that will be activated on the tree can be selected on the touchscreen, or in the Gear Matrix. As a Keyblade chip levels up through use in battle, additional abilities will be unlocked on the tree.
When an endpoint on the tree has been reached, filling the clock gauge again changes the Attack command to activate the equipped Finish command. The higher the clock level is when using the Finish command, the more powerful it is. Once the command has been used, the clock level returns to one, and all abilities on the tree from level 2 and on will deactivate.
