Valor Form (ブレイヴフォーム Bureivu Fōmu , lit. "Brave Form") is a Drive Form which appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It uses Goofy, and consumes three of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's strength[1], and is obtained along with Sora's new clothes at Mysterious Tower.
Mechanics
Valor Form is activated via the Drive command. After activating, Goofy combines with Sora to represent courage and strength. It drastically increases Sora's strength. Valor Form gains one experience point for every attack dealt to an enemy. It is quite similar to Roxas's fighting style because it abandons all defensive and magical capabilities in favor of power and speed.
Once you obtain Valor form, you initially start with the Kingdom Key and Star Seeker Keyblades. This form focuses on attack, and is the most offensive of any form. Valor Form allows Sora to get in close and bash away to do heavy damage in a short amount of time, at the cost of losing the ability to cast magic.
While in this form, Sora can run faster than usual, making Valor the second fastest Drive Form, compared to Final's gliding ability. Like Wisdom Form, Valor Form consumes three Drive Bars.
Appearance
This form turns Sora's clothes into a red and black color scheme with a fleur-de-lis on each sleeve and pant leg. In this form, Sora wields two Keyblades. 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. In this form Sora is very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo.

- Space Paranoids: Sora's circuit lines turn red, similar to those of Sark.
