Valor Form

• Valor Form
• TCG

Valor Form (ブレイヴフォーム, Bureivu Fōmu, lit. "Brave Form") is a Drive Form specializing in physical attacks which appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It uses Goofy, and consumes three of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's strength, and is obtained along with Sora's new clothes at Mysterious Tower.

Appearance

Valor Form turns Sora's clothes into a red and black outfit with a red fleur-de-lis on each sleeve and pant leg. In this form, Sora wields two Keyblades, and is also very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo. No matter what world Sora is in, Sora's hands glow light red and flicker with red electricity. When Sora runs in Valor Form, flakes of red energy fly off of his hands in a streak.

Costume changes

• Timeless River: Sora's health icon becomes red in tint.
• Halloween Town: Sora's mask turns into a devil-mask, slightly reminiscent of a Bomb from the Final Fantasy series. The mask also appears to be decorated by a stylized fleur-de-lis.
• Christmas Town: A red fleur-de-lis appears on Sora's santa hat and on the back of his shirt.
• Space Paranoids: Sora's circuit lines turn red, similar to those of Sark.

Mechanics

Valor Form allows Sora to wield two Keyblades, but takes away his ability to perform magic spells. It is a weapon-oriented Drive Form that gains an experience point every time Sora strikes an enemy. Leveling up Valor Form will give Sora the ability to use High Jump while in Standard Form, and will grant him two Combo Plus and one Auto Valor abilities.

A common Valor Form combo

Valor Form is a powerful damage-dealer, and is very useful against tough enemies and bosses. While in Valor Form, Sora moves at twice his normal speed, and becomes able to perform finishers at any time using the "Omega Finale" attack. His rapid slashes can block enemy attacks, and can sometimes stun the enemies as well. However, Sora also becomes inable to cast Cure, so the player should equip Potions and set Donald's behavior to healing whenever he plans to use Valor Form.

Since Valor Form levels by dealing hits, and not by defeating enemies, the player should try to keep enemies alive while training Valor Form. The best Keyblades for training Valor Form are the Sweet Memories and Oathkeeper; the Star Seeker and its Air Combo Plus are a good substitute for the Oathkeeper if the player doesn't have it yet. The Morning Stars and Crimson Jazzes, which appear together at Hollow Bastion and Beast's Castle are the best enemies to train against, as they have high stamina, but are also easy to disrupt with Valor Form's attacks, and drop a large amount of Drive Form Orbs when defeated. It's also a good idea to use Valor Form against bosses whenever possible.
