Aerial Recovery
Aerial Recovery is a support ability in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The main function of the ability helps Sora or characters in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days get their balance back after being knocked into the air by pressing 
(or 
in Final Mix) or B button in 358/2 Days. The player learns this ability as Roxas after defeating the Dusk Nobodies in the Station of Serenity. It then gets transferred to Sora after Sora wakes up from his sleep. It costs two Ability Points.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, several ability panels can be linked to the base Aerial Recovery. These include Quick Recovery, Aerial Payback, and Smash Recovery.

Hints
