Kingdom Hearts II Drive Forms

In Kingdom Hearts II, there are several Drive Forms that we can use in later game. The forms are Valor Form, Wisdom Form, Master Form, Final Form, Anti Form and Limit Form (Only in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix). The drive command is located in your Field menu, in the bottom slot. There is a requirement to change form, for example, if Goofy does not in the party, Valor Form will not appear in the menu. We also need to charge the Drive Gauge to change forms. We can  charge the Drive Gauge by attacking enemies, get attacked (need Damage Drive ability) and collecting Drive balls (drop by enemies when defeated). All forms except Wisdom Form and Limit Form will allow you to wield dual Keyblades. You cannot equip the same Keyblade in two different forms. Each forms must its own extra Keyblade.

Note:

This is a magic form. Your magic power will gain a significant increase at higher levels. However, if you are a fighter and not a magic user, this form is not your type. The shots are very weak although you can shot and move fast. This form is very hard to level up since you need to defeated Heartless in this form. But, you should level up this form since it has Air Slide which is very useful.

Note:

This form is attack and magic form. It provides slightly less attack power from Valor Form and slightly less magic power from Wisdom Form but both are a significant increase on your normal stats. While in this form, your combos will be longer and the combo finisher will be very devastating. This form ability, Air Dodge, is very useful. It reflects bullets and energy shots and provides a lot of needed range in your jumps.

Both attack power and magic power are significant increase over all of other forms. This form, let you to glide over the ground like Wisdom Form and can glide in the air. This provide great evasions capabilities and can get you to the enemies faster. The Keyblades, are floating around you. When you attack, the move through the air. This also add some range to your attacks. The main combo is very devastating and affects both ground and air. However, the combo cannot be cancelled when it reaches the finisher and it will be lack of control. This form is very smooth and manoeuvrable and deals a lot of damages in both attack and magic.

While in this form, getting the Drive balls will decrease the Drive bar instead of increasing it. While in this form, Sora can move very fast. His jumps have long range and can reach enemies very quickly. His attack power has a massive drop, but this is made up for by the fact that he can pull of very long, fast combos and a decent combo finisher.
