Its base stats are decent and strength based, but the real power lies in its formchange. Favourite Deputyįavourite Deputy is an early game weapon, obtained after completing Toy Box. This keyblade is worth having early game for sure, and magic users will want this around much longer. The cherry on top of this keyblade is definitely the ability, Leaf Bracer, which enables healing mid-battle without having to worry about being struck while doing so. The formchange allows you to sweep a large area for damage, which is useful against clusters of enemies or could even multi-hit a large boss. This keyblade is obtained after finishing the Kingdom of Corona and has a powerful magic stat, enabling magic-lovers to deal heavy spellcasting early in the game. The Assault Claw and Twin Yoyo formchange attacks deal heavy damage and close a lot of distance between you and the bad guy, so this is one keyblade to have close to hand during boss fights with a big HP bar. This keyblade has decent base stats, but its power really lies in the formchange. Kicking off the Top 10 is the keyblade found in Monstropolis. The finisher to this freezes your enemies solid, which makes this keyblade a great weapon to use against a flurry of enemies all at once.
This protects Sora from being frozen (and that triple blizzard damage when frozen, ugh) and the formchange allows you to quickly deal damage to close range enemies. Crystal SnowĮarned after getting chilly in Arendelle, Crystal Snow is a magic focused weapon with a unique ability Freeze Guard. The Formchange allows you to play with long range attacks and is one of only two keyblades in the game with three different Shotlocks (The other being Shooting Star.) This weapon might not be a powerhouse but its ability Harvest means you collect an extra ingredient for your stat boosting meals, meaning you’ll want this on you if you’re planning on using the cooking feature a lot. This quirky looking keyblade is picked up after finishing the Hundred Acre Wood and has a decent balance between strength and magic. The formchange gives Sora a moveset from KH2, which isn’t massively useful at this late stage of the game but it’s a cool call back that fans of the second game will love for sure. For such a late game weapon, it’s stats are weirdly low, although it does boast the useful MP Haste ability which you’ll love if you’re a magic user. Starlight is obtained after completing the Keyblade Graveyard story segment, which places it right at the end of the game.
This is great if you like using magic attacks or playing it safe, plus it just looks really cool. Once again, it’s given the Treasure Magnet ability, so you might be thinking… so what? The big draw of this weapon is that it Formchanges into a magical crossbow, enabling you to fire off long range attacks on enemies while keeping a safe distance. This magic focused keyblade can be found after completing Twilight Town early on and its stats are a mirrored version of Hero’s Origin. If you’re doing a critical playthrough, you might want this for your early game as this ability boosts your defence stat when things get rough. It Formchanges into a shield, which does pack a decent punch countering, but the only thing that saves this keyblade from being at the bottom of the list is the Defender ability. Its attack stat is only marginally better than what you start out with, and it's magic is even less. This is the second weapon you’ll pick up after completing Olympus at the beginning of the game. Yes, it’s nostalgic, but it’s outmatched by the other weapons KH3 has to offer.
The ability Treasure Magnet, while useful in the early hours of your playthrough, can easily be gained through Goofy early on.
