Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ Sonikku Reivu?, lit. "Sonic Rave") is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Sonic Blade is a technique that lets the user execute a number of successive thrusting attacks. After the first attack, execute each successive attack by using the prompted command.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, selecting Sonic Blade from the last command box activates the first attack, and if it connects, the command box will change to Rave. Selecting Rave executes the next attack in the sequence. Rave appears five times, if all the attacks connect, and is then replaced with Blast, which executes the powerful finishing thrust. It costs 3 AP and 2 MP bars to equip.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, pressing A at the end of each thrust executes the next, for up to six additional attacks.

In Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories, each attack after the initial thrust is activated by pressing Triangle at the prompt, for up to six additional attacks.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix it is only available while using Limit Form, selecting Sonic Blade from the Limit menu with Circle activates the first attack, and using the Rave Reaction Command executes the next attack in the sequence. Rave appears five times, and it is then replaced by the Finish Reaction command, which executes the final attack. It costs 60 MP to use.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Sonic Blade is an Ultimate attack command that takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20%.
