Best Build for Sora in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Final Mix

The keyblade wielder and main protagonist, Sora, often has to pull most of the weight during combat encounters. Sure, you have Donald and Goofy as your main party companions. But often, you’ll have to take on bosses on your own, while your sidekicks fight off the weaker swarms of enemies around you. Moreover, your sidekicks have the luxury of dying in battle, but Sora must remain alive for as long as possible. So, to ensure your main protagonist unleashes the most potent attacks and puts up the best defense, you want to equip the following best build for Sora in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Final Mix.

10. Shadow Archive+ (Accessory)

For accessories, you want to equip Sora with Shadow Archive+. It provides you with three magic attack points. Physical attacks are usually the most potent against the most formidable enemies. But elemental damage can also scoop you many wins. So, you want to ensure Sora’s magic source is covered and good to go. Besides boosting your magic attack power, Shadow Archive+ gives you the MP Rage ability. This allows you to recharge your MP meter in relation to the damage you sustain in battle. So, while it boosts your attack power, it also allows you to put up a strong defense against challenging enemies.

9. Combo Master (Ability)

Stringing together multiple combos in one go is often a surefire way to decimate enemies. One way you can make the most of your attack combos is by equipping the Combo Master ability. It allows every attack combo to land successfully, even if you happen to miss hitting the enemy. It means you can exploit Combo Master to work in your favor, even when you’re not fighting the enemy directly, because it’ll always be considered a miss.

8. Combo Boost (Ability)

If you want to sharpen Sora’s attack combos, you can equip the Combo Boost ability. It ramps up the damage inflicted on enemies from a ground-finishing move. However, keep in mind that the amount of damage that Combo Boost increases depends on the number of hits you land successfully. So, the more hits you execute precisely and on time, the more damage you inflict on foes.

7. Hero’s Crest (Weapon)

One of the keyblades that you want to equip as soon as you can is Hero’s Crest. It gives you four strength attack points that come in handy in nearly every battle you engage in. Sora, at the end of the day, excels in landing physical attacks. So, boosting your strength attack power should always be a priority. But even more so, the Air Combo Boost ability comes with the keychain. It spikes the amount of damage you inflict on enemies from the finishing move of an aerial combo. You’ll need to execute successful consecutive hits, and Air Combo Boost will increase damage for every hit. Moreover, you can extend the combo, and thus the effect of Air Combo Boost, with Air Combo Plus.

6. MP Haste (Ability)

Sora’s magic constantly needs a pick-me-up. With MP Haste, you can ensure that your MP meter recharges faster by 25%. However, the MP meter will only recharge when you actively engage in battle. To enjoy an even faster recharge rate, you can upgrade MP Haste to MP Hastera, which recharges by 50%, and finally, MP Hastega by 100%.

5. Ultima Weapon

Another powerful keyblade you can consider for the best build for Sora in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix 2.5 Final Mix is Ultima Weapon. Because it’s the most potent weapon, it can take quite some time to acquire. However, once equipped, it gives you a whopping 14-strength attack power.

4. Bond of Flame (Weapon)

Bond of Flame, on the other hand, is a little easier to acquire from the Nobodies in Betwixt and Between. Plus, it provides a more balanced attack power. More precisely, you access four strength and four magic attack power points. Furthermore, the keychain gives you access to the Fire Boost ability. This ramps up the fire-based elemental damage you inflict on enemies. 

3. Full Bloom+ (Accessory)

If you’re considering the best accessory for Sora, you may want to slot Full Bloom+. Once equipped, you will have three strength attack points. As is, three more points are still pretty significant on the battlefield. However, you can maximize Full Bloom+’s potential further by equipping up to four of them at once. That way, you have a staggering 12-strength attack points that make all the difference on the battlefield.

2. Counterguard (Ability)

At four AP points, you can access the Counterguard action ability. This boosts Sora’s defense by unleashing counterattacks on all nearby enemies using Guard. The Guard ability blocks incoming attacks using a parry. It then follows up the block with another attack at the enemy. Sure, you can equip Guard. However, the Counterguard pushes Sora’s defense to the limits. It allows you to defend yourself against swarms of enemies, taking down multiple foes in one fell swoop. 

1. Decisive Pumpkin (Weapon)

Sora’s go-to weapon is a keyblade weapon. Among all the keyblades, Decisive Pumpkin is by far the best build for Sora. It gives you a whopping six strengths and one magic attack power. So, even though you’ll rely on inflicting physical damage a lot more than magic, you still have some level of magic attack you can dip into. Further, you gain access to Combo Boost. It’s an ability that ramps up the attack power of the ground finishing move of a combo. Keep in mind, though, that the damage you inflict will be based on the number of hits that you successfully land within the combo. So, the more the hits you manage to string together, the higher the damage you’ll inflict on enemies.
