Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix - Keyblades (in-depth analysis)

This video explains the pros/cons of each keyblade in KH2FM. If you think Ultima Weapon is the best keyblade and should always be used, this video may surprise you.
Really fast paced video, but didn't really have a choice if I didn't want it to go to like 20 minutes for just explaining keyblades. I put this video together a bit faster than my previous 2.5 guides, so hopefully no mistakes, but don't be surprised if there are any.

    For a casual run, I always love Fenrir. My personal skill setup is to use the Negative Combo, and the Berserk Charge in tandem with Fenrir's natural Negative Combo to deal a bit of damage to enemies, and when I'm low on HP, just use a Curaga and keep pelting them with normal attacks. Not the smartest idea, but after doing everything in the game, I deserve my fun! Heck that's how I do my Data Roxas fight.

    That's something I love about KH2, especially with the mushrooms. A lot of keyblades have specific uses, which helps you towards completing the game. In KH3, all you do is press X spam, and just use higher numbers. In KH2, those niche abilities and stats matter! You need to swap around entire equipment and item sets for different bosses or enemies, and I love it.

    interestingly enough to me matching keyblades and drive forms based on colour works well to me. valor gets decisive pumpkin which gives it combo boost, which is good because his groung combo is already long master gets hero's crest with air combo boost which is good because all master does is air combos final gets oathkeeper or because form boost makes it last longer which works well with the ones you gain for leveling it up as for my main keyblade i choose between oblivion, to really complete the looks and go drive faster, or ultima weapon to match wisdom and restore magic quickly overall

Even what is considered the worst keyblade, Hidden Dragon, still has some use early on if you haven't fully grasped how the magic system can be useful or how the new Keyblade perks work now. Hidden Dragon served that purpose for me, but it is one hella useless weapon after that.

    Hidden Dragon was useful when I did a crit run with a busted X button. Since my basic attack was a 50/50 shot whether the button would work I had to focus on magic as early as possible after not going for the magic build options at the start since I didn't realize until after that just how screwed my controller was. Intentionally taking damage strategically to use MP Rage and never run out basically carried me until I got Wisdom Form and was surprisingly fun.

    I agree with the main point that there really is no "best" key blade, and that the situation really dictates what is better at the moment. But I think another point of comparison that was overlooked is length. Having a longer keyblade does make certain things easier, "like mushroom minigames", and you can notice it in fights. Maybe you don't notice it as much in this game as you do in KH1 and BBS, but it is noticeable. That's why I prefer Ultima over DP. Its also why I cant stand Oath keeper. I love the form boost ability, but its like you are smacking heartless with a foot long ruler.

    Great video. Highly informational. I'll definitely keep most of this in mind for when I do challenging battles. However I still think I'll use Keyblades like Follow the Wind when I get them due to the enjoyment of seeing a cool looking Keyblade in a cutscene. Hell, that's pretty much the sole reason I learned to git gud enough to beat Sephiroth pre-World that Never Was. I wanted to see the cutscene between Sora and Roxas while Sora had Fenrir equipped. Not sure why, but hey, it as a learning experience.

    I went the magic route my first time through, yet still relied pretty heavily on melee. Since I went through the entire main story without Air Combo Boost as an equippable skill, I used Hero's Crest from Olympus to the credits. I imagine Decisive Pumpkin probably would have been better, since I could have stacked two Combo Boosts for massive damage, but I liked knowing that my finisher wouldn't be gimped if a combo ended up in the air. Which for a lot of end-game bosses, usually did.

    In endgame, you can get permanent stat boost items from farming the data org fights so the stats can actually be ignored at that point. But as he said, there are a lot of situations that call for different keyblades. There's early, mid, and late game stats where you don't have the data org on farm. There's minigames and mushroom 13 and more.

    This is a very informative video and it's great at specifically analyzing each keyblade's strengths and weaknesses without bias. I also enjoyed that it was fairly short given the amount of keyblades in the game, making it short and sweet. Good job. Points++ for the keyblade times in the description. I'm not sure if Kingdom Hearts II is played as much as it once was. However the video is one of, if not, the best and most informative KH2FM keyblade battle analysis video on KZread making it useful to have. I personally prefer Ultima Weapon for overall general use and for its looks, although I usually use Decisive Pumpkin for most grounded boss fights. I do have a question, does the length of a Keyblade effect its battle performance at all or is it just visual?

    So, if you're a heavy magic user, would Winner's Proof + Ultima or one of the Elemental keyblades in a form make for a ton of damage? Also, while I don't mind DP's design too much, I do prefer the design of other keyblades (even Kingdom Key somehow gained a level of respect that I prefer using it). I also figured that Hero's Crest and Star Seeker would make a good air combo in forms too wouldn't it?

For example, on someone that's weak to Fire, you'd want to use Bond of Flame, and you could put it on Final Form and pair it with Ultima or Winner's Proof (Ultima is a much safer choice tho). And yea, Hero's Crest/Star Seeker are monster aerial keyblades, though Star Seeker is only strong with Horizontal Slash equipped mostly.

So I liked being original and stayed with the kingdom key for the majority of the time and yeah, that just caused a lot of pain and suffering for 10 year old me. But it's nice to look at this game now as an adult from a different perspective on the technicalities of the keyblades. There's just so much about this game I didn't even know about, including the keyblades.

    One thing you left out of the analysis was keyblade length. It’s usually irrelevant on boss battles but on mob fights (cavern of rememberance in particular), it can be extremely helpful to have a long keyblade to hit multiple enemies and parry more hits. Short keyblades can also whiff often with slapshot (and dodge slash but if you’re using that you’re really hurting yourself).

    Samantha Parish In KH1 very few of the keyblades actually have abilites, so raw stats are your best bet. Best Keyblade really becomes a toss up between the three super weapons (Ultima Weapon, Diamond Dust, and One Winged Angel). Personally I always go for maximum magic with accessories and Diamond Dust and shred through enemies with the Blizzaga Shotgun.

    I think you should've also taken each keyblade's range into account as well. This can be very important for combat situations in which you'll need longer reach to hit the enemy consistently. Some of the shorter ranged ones have pretty useful abilities, but their size can make them whiff attacks here and there which can make them bad in certain areas.
