What is the Best Keyblade
There are a few candidates for what the best Keyblade is in Kingdom Hearts 3. Largely it will come down to personal preference, so be sure to test out each one at least once. The Ultima Weapon is easily the most powerful, though given that you likely won’t get it until the end, it becomes kind of redundant. For our money, the best Keyblade is the Toy Story one. It has great stats, and the Formchanges are perfect for taking out large groups of enemies. The Drill attack in particular, is great for boss fights, as it allows you to close the distance very quickly. The Hammer attack is easy to control and the finishing move has a large AoE.
Upgrading Your Keyblade at the Keyblade Forge
To make sure you’re able to keep up with the enemy, you’ll need to upgrade your Keyblade. To do so, head over to any Shop and select the Keyblade Forge. You’ll need to have at least made it to Twilight Town. To upgrade each Keyblade, you need to have the required materials. Early on, this means collecting Fluorite (check out our guide on doing exactly that), and ">Damascus. Each time you’ll improve the Strength and Magic Stats associated with each Keyblade.
How to get the Ultima Weapon Keyblade
As you can see from the table above, the Ultima weapon is seriously powerful. To unlock it, you need to have collected 58 different types of material, which you won’t be able to do until towards the end of the game. Once you’ve done so, you’ll be able to forge the Ultima Weapon from the following materials:
- Orichalcum(7)
- Wellspring Crystal (2)
- Lucid Crystal (2)
- Lucid Shard (5)
- Pulsing Crystal (2)
How to Get the Midknight Blue and Phantom Green Keyblades
There are three more Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts 3 that we have yet to mention. The Midknight Blue and Phantom Green Keyblades are pre-order bonuses for PS4 and Xbox One respectively. The Dawn Til Dusk Keyblade is obtained by pre-ordering the game from Amazon.
