Sora uses Ragnarok in Chain of Memories.

Sleight is the term used to refer to certain three-card combinations in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. They are learned by either Riku or Sora. Sleights may be learned upon level-up, or they may be acquired through story events (as in the case of Trinity Limit). More powerful than single-card attacks, magic, or summons, sleights are often used in boss battles. Each sleight has a specific value it must equal, or have certain cards used to activate it. Also, the first card of a sleight will be unavailible to use for the remainder of the battle unless an Elixir or Megalixir is used, meaning that constant sleights will reduce the size of a deck. A player can activate a 2 card sleight on one condition. Instead of selecting a third card, selecting the reload card will activate the sleight, regardless of the number of cards. However, most sleights will not activate this way, as a sleight will often call for exactly 3 cards. Thereby, this will result in the 2 cards being used for their original use, although the number total is still combined (making this a good tool for Reverse/Rebirth, in which a low card deck could still activate Dark mode).

Riku's Sleights

Riku does not learn sleights upon reaching a certain level. Rather, he has access to four sleights throughout the entire game, unless Dark Mode has not been activated or he does not have access to a King Mickey Friend Card. As a result, MM Miracle is the only sleight Riku can activate outside of Dark Mode.

Ability	Description	Requirements
Dark Break	During this Sleight, Riku leaps into the air and attacks his enemies from above 6 times. Each time, he lands sword first on an enemy and then leaps into the air again. It hits random enemies.	Activated by 3 Soul Eater cards totaling a ranged value of 5-15
Dark Firaga	Riku shoots a dark fireball from his hand, which, despite its name, deals non-elemental damage. This means that it cannot be absorbed by Red Nocturne, but also that it doesn't deal extra damage against Blue Rhapsody.	Activated by 3 Soul Eater cards totaling a ranged value of 16-25.
Dark Aura	Riku flies across the screen several times, damaging every enemy he touches, and at the end stabs his Soul Eater into the ground, causing radial damage to each enemy caught within the range of the attack.	Activated by 3 Soul Eater cards totaling 27.
MM Miracle	King Mickey appears and pulls out a card, which flashes a bright light that stuns all enemies, heals Riku, and reloads his deck	Riku may use this sleight as long as he has access to at least 2 King Mickey cards, which must be placed next to each other in the sleight.

Re-Chain of Memories

Ability	Description	Requirements
Light Storm	Riku calls forth Mickey with their backs together, they spin around shooting balls of light at surrounding enemies	1 Mickey card followed by two Soul Eater cards
Twilight Storm	Similar to Light Storm but in this case, while Mickey fires light balls, Riku, using the power of his Dark Form, fires balls of darkness.	In Dark Mode only, 1 Mickey card followed by 2 Soul Eater cards.
