Sliding Dash
Sliding Dash (スライドダッシュ Suraido Dasshu, lit. "Slide Dash") is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It allows you to quickly close in on a target and attack.
Mechanics
When using Sliding Dash in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, the user propels himself forward with the Keyblade, then swings the Keyblade in front to strike enemies. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the user quickly slides up to the targeted enemy and then attacks. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it becomes a charging attack that can be used both on the ground and in the air. In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the user charges forward while swinging the Keyblade.
In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Sliding Dash is an ability that costs 1 AP to equip.
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, it is an Attack Sleight.
In Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it is an Action Ability that costs 2 AP to equip.
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, it is an Ability Panel that can take up one or three slots. The ability can be leveled up from Sliding Dash LV1 to Sliding Dash LV2 and Sliding Dash LV3 by linking Sliding Dash LV+ Ⓛ (ダッシュアップⓁ Dasshu Appu Ⓛ, lit. "Dash Up Ⓛ") panels.
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it is a Basic Attack Command that takes up one slot, has a maximum level of 3, has a normal reload time of 15 seconds, and fills the Command Gauge by 20% upon connecting with an enemy.
