Sora's Ground Vertical Swing in Kingdom Hearts II.

Attack (たたかう, Tatakau) is a command in the Kingdom Hearts. It is the most basic method of attacking, allowing the user to execute a basic attack with their equipped weapon. Most attacks deal Physical damage, with the exception of certain Forms. The type of attack used may depend on whether the user is on the ground or in the air, the distance to the target, and the number of targets.

Repeatedly using Attack results in a combo (コンボ, Konbo), a combination of attacks strung together. The number of attacks in a combo can be increased with the Combo Plus and Air Combo Plus abilities, or decreased with the Negative Combo ability. If any hit misses any target, a combo is cancelled, unless Combo Master is equipped.

The final attack of a combo is a more powerful attack, called a combo finisher (コンボフィニッシュ, konbo finisshu, lit. "combo finish"). Additional combo finishers can be used by equipping the Finishing Plus ability. In Kingdom Hearts III, up to 3 combo finishers are executed by default. The power of a combo finisher can be increased with the Combo Boost and Air Combo Boost abilities, depending on the length of the combo. The Omega Finale ability allows the user to execute a combo finisher in the middle of a combo.

The attacks in a combo can change by equipping certain abilities, or by using a Drive Form or Formchange. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, each weapon has a different combo. Some weapons have an optional Y-Combo that can be used by pressing when prompted.

Reprisals (カウンター, Kauntā, lit. "Counter") are a type of attack that are available after a successful block, or after being knocked away, when certain abilities are equipped.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, attacks are performed by playing Attack Cards. The power and element of attacks are determined by the played Attack Card. Playing multiple Attack Cards in succession, or using stocked Attack Cards that do not result in a sleight, allows the user to perform a combo.

Attacks are divided into three types: Strike (たたく, Tataku), Thrust (突き, Tsuki), and Finish (フィニッシュ, Finisshu). Each type corresponds to one of the Attack Cards' stats. When Riku is in Dark Mode, his attacks do not have a type.

Character	Attack	Type	Description
Sora	Ground Vertical Swing (地上縦振り, Chijō Tate Furi)	Strike	Swings down his Keyblade while taking a step forward. Although the Keyblade is raised high, it won't hit until it is completely swung down.
	Ground Horizontal Swing (地上横振り, Chijō Yoko Furi)	Strike	Holds his Keyblade to the side, then swings it in the opposite direction. This attack can only be performed as a stand-alone attack, or as the first hit of a combo.
	Ground Thrust (地上突き, Chijō Tsuki)	Thrust	Centers the Keyblade, then thrusts it forward vigorously. Sora moves forward slightly when thrusting, allowing him to reach distant enemies.
	Ground Spin Swing (地上回転振り, Chijō Kaiten Furi)	Finish	Can only be used as a combo finish. Swings his Keyblade while spinning sideways. Although the animation seems long, the time it takes to hit an enemy is around the same as his other techniques.
	Rising Swing (上昇振り, Jōshō Furi)	Thrust	Swings his Keyblade while leaping at a locked-on airborne target. The attack can reach high, but Aerial Vertical Swing is a better option for dealing with aerial enemies.
	Aerial Vertical Swing (空中縦振り, Kūchū Tate Furi)	Strike	Swings his Keyblade while descending. Sora moves slightly up and forward while performing the attack, allowing him to attack distant enemies.
	Aerial Spin Swing (空中回転振り, Kūchū Kaiten Furi)	Finish	Can only be used as a combo finish. Swings his Keyblade while spinning in the air. Has the longest reach of all airborne attacks.
Riku	Ground Vertical Swing (地上縦振り, Chijō Tate Furi)	Strike	Swings down his Soul Eater while taking a step forward. Because the attack won't hit until the Soul Eater is completely swung down, it's better to use a different technique against enemies in high positions.
	Ground Horizontal Swing (地上横振り, Chijō Yoko Furi)	Strike	Holds his Soul Eater to the side, then swings it like drawing a sword. Has the largest range among Riku's basic attacks.
	Ground Thrust (地上突き, Chijō Tsuki)	Thrust	Leans back, then thrusts his Soul Eater while gliding forward. Like Sora's Ground Thrust, the attack has long reach, allowing Riku to hit distant targets.
	Ground Spin Swing (地上回転振り, Chijō Kaiten Furi)	Finish	Jumps slightly, spins his body, and swings his Soul Eater. Although it can only be used as a combo finish, it is difficult to miss the enemy due to the combo attacks.
	Rising Swing (上昇振り, Jōshō Furi)	Thrust	Leaps into the air, and swings his Soul Eater while gliding forward. Although the jump is low, the attack has a wide reach and can hit enemies high up.
	Aerial Vertical Swing (空中縦振り, Kūchū Tate Furi)	Strike	Swings his Soul Eater while descending. Riku moves slightly forward while performing the attack, allowing him to attack distant enemies.
	Aerial Bamboo Split (空中唐竹割り, Kūchū Karatake-wari)[KH CoM]	Finish	Can only be used as a combo finish. Swings his Soul Eater while descending. Looks similar to Aerial Vertical Swing, but has higher power.
	Aerial Spin Swing (空中回転振り, Kūchū Kaiten Furi)[KH Re:CoM]	Finish	Can only be used as a combo finish. Swings his Soul Eater diagonally while spinning in the air.
Riku (Dark Mode)	Ground Vertical Swing (地上縦振り, Chijō Tate Furi)	—	Holds up his Soul Eater, then swings it down while stepping forward. Hits faster than Riku's regular Ground Vertical Swing.
	Ground Horizontal Swing (地上横振り, Chijō Yoko Furi)[KH Re:CoM]	—	An attack used against enemies to the side. Slightly floats in the air while spinning and swinging his Soul Eater.
	Ground Thrust (地上突き, Chijō Tsuki)	—	Takes a step and swings his Soul Eater sideways. Can only be used as the second hit of a combo, but has the benefit of stunning enemies.
	Ground Helm Split (地上兜割り, Chijō Kabuto-wari)[KH CoM]	—	Leaps and swings his Soul Eater down. Although it is the final hit of a combo, it doesn't act like a combo finish (e.g. it isn't affected by Warp Break).
	Ground Spin Swing (地上回転振り, Chijō Kaiten Furi)[KH Re:CoM]	—	Can only be used as a combo finish. Swings his Soul Eater down while spinning diagonally.
	Rising Swing (上昇振り, Jōshō Furi)[KH Re:CoM]	—	Used against high enemies. Swings his Soul Eater diagonally upward while jumping. Unlike his regular version, this version cannot be used in the air.
	Aerial Shake Off (空中振り払い, Kūchū Furiharai)	—	Holds his Soul Eater sideways and spins while descending. Has a very wide attack range. If it hits an enemy, the technique can be used up to 3 times in a row.
	Aerial Helm Split (空中兜割り, Kūchū Kabuto-wari)[KH CoM]	—	Performs a midair jump and swings down his Soul Eater. The midair jump tracks the enemy, making it hard to miss.
	Aerial Spin Swing (空中回転振り, Kūchū Kaiten Furi)[KH Re:CoM]	—	Used after a midair jump. Swings down his Soul Eater while descending.
