Light (ホーリー/光 Hōrī/Hikari, lit. "Holy/Light") is an element that appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road. It is opposed to Dark.
While other games in the Kingdom Hearts series include light-based abilities and attacks, such as Faith or Salvation, the damage they inflict is usually Neutral.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 DaysEdit
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the Light element is exclusive to enemies. Enemies can use Light-type attacks to inflict the Radar Zap status effect, which party members can resist.

Weakness and ResistanceEdit

Unlike in other games, Light Resistance does not reduce the damage from Light-type attacks, but lowers the chance of being Radar Zapped. Roxas, Xion, Donald, Goofy, The King, and Sora have an innate resistance to Light, while some Ring Panels provide Light Resistance when equipped.
