Sleights can be used when stocking three cards together. Riku does not have CP, as he fights with a loaded deck. If you exceed the Maximum CP, the Deck cannot be used. Each card has a CP cost, except for those that appear randomly in battle. Sora can create Decks of cards to use in Battle using CP, or, Card Points. Moving, dodging, and jumping are outside of card use. The mechanics of card usage vary depending upon both the situation they are being used in and who is using them.īy building decks of cards from the Battle Cards Sora has collected throughout his journey, Sora is able to engage enemies in card battles where, depending on how he stocks his card deck, he can choose to attack, use magic, use items, summon friends, and/or add status effects.Ī more detailed explanation of the card battling system is given below:Ĭards are needed to attack, use magic, use items, summon friends, and/or to add a status effect to Sora. The only exception is at the top floor, where Sora proceeds without a card into Castle Oblivion itself. World Cards allow Sora to proceed to the next floor in Castle Oblivion. (Example: If Sora has already opened up a Calm Bounty room and taken the treasure, he can leave the room and strike the door again to change it to a new Calm Bounty Room, granted he has the card.) Certain Map Cards can trigger events that advance the plot while other Map Cards can open up special treasure rooms while still others can open up a Moogle room or a save point. Map Cards allow Sora to open doors that lead into unexplored rooms, or can be used to change a room that he has already opened. These Cards are used outside of the battlefield and are used to help progress the storyline by allowing movement between rooms within a floor/world and allowing movement between different floor/worlds within Castle Oblivion. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Sora can lose his reload card when battling Marluxia's third form. Unlike all the other cards, however, Sora must charge this card to use it. The Reload Card is used to reload all reloadable cards. For example, the floor acid disappears when battling the Parasite Cage. When used, the colors on the screen invert, and the flow of battle changes in Sora's favor, though the former does not occur in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. These cards are colored Green, like item Cards, and have the Mickey Mouse insignia on the card. Gimmick Card only appear during Boss Battles. They summon one of Sora's party members once retrieved and used. They are colored black.įriend Cards are green cards that appear randomly during battles. There are three different types.Įnemy Cards enable a status effect, which can change Card Value, increase speed, and make Sora invulnerable to certain elements, among other things. Item Cards restore attack and magic cards after use, and are colored bright green. Like with Attack cards, there are different types and when two-three Magic cards (of the same kind) are stacked up, the result is a more powerful version of the Magic attack. Magic Cards either let Sora use a spell or use a summon, and are colored bright blue. Each Keyblade card has a different effect - and when hovering over the card, it will show its statistics. In the case of Riku, however, he is unable to customize his battle deck, and is instead given a preset battle deck.Īttack Cards each contain one strike with a Keyblade sign, and are colored bright red. These Cards are used during battles and depending on the type of card, they are randomly assigned value points which determine the 'strength' of a card and may cost Sora Card Points (CP) to add to a Deck if the card can be added in the first place. Riku is given a set amount of cards per world, and his deck is unable to be customized.Īs the gameplay mechanism and storyline progression centers around the usage of cards, there are therefore different types of cards available for Sora and/or Riku to use and these types can be divided into two categories - Battle Cards and Map Cards. If playing the game as Riku, the card types and the availability of certain cards change, but the essential gameplay mechanism and method of storyline progression remains the same. The eponymous cards first appear when Sora begins his journey into Castle Oblivion and new cards are thereafter obtained through plot events, found in the environment (for example, breaking open a barrel), bought in Moogle rooms which are unlocked by a specific Map Card, or won in Battles. 3 Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distanceįrom the battle system itself to progressing to different rooms within a world to traversing between the different available worlds, the cards serve as both the ubiquitous gameplay mechanism and the storyline progression element.
