Aerial Sweep is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to leap at an airborne enemy and strike it with a spiraling attack.
Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts, Aerial Sweep is a combat ability that costs 2 AP to equip. When equipped, Sora is able to attack enemies above him from the ground with a spinning jump.
In Kingdom Hearts II, Aerial Sweep is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. When equipped, Sora will attack enemies directly above him from the ground with a spinning jump that can hit up to three times. While it has more potential height than Aerial Dive, the latter ability tends to take priority due to the difference in range.
In Kingdom Hearst Re:coded, Aerial Sweep has a memory consumption of 11%. It enables the user to crack down on surrounding foes with a jumping spin attack. It has a low chance of attacking ground enemies.
In Kingdom Hearts III, Aerial Sweep is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. When equipped, Sora is able to attack enemies above him with a horizontal spinning attack.
