Agile Claws (アサルトクロー Asaruto Kurō, lit. "Assault Claw") is a Formchange in Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to transform the Keyblade into twin claws and tear into enemies with quick slashing attacks.
Development
In the D23 Expo Japan 2018 trailer, the Agile Claws were called the "Quick Claws".
Design
Agile Claws transforms the Keyblade into twin grey, mechanical gauntlets capped with the Monsters, Inc. worker helmet. Emerging from the helmet is a pair of pincers that are used as the claws.
Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts III, Agile Claws is the first Formchange of the Happy Gear Keyblade, associated with Strike Form. It has a base duration of 30 seconds and a maximum combo length of 5. Its basic combo consists of Sora performing a series of quick swinging slash attacks before tearing into enemies with humongous rotating claws for the finisher. All of the attacks used by Agile Claws deal Physical damage. Filling the situation gauge while in Agile Claws allows Sora to Formchange into Twin Yo-Yos.
Agile Claws uses Proximity-style Magic.
