Abilities Guide Kingdom Hearts

This is our Abilities Guide page for Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix. We’ve included tables for the levels each of the main characters obtains abilities in-game.

Here you’ll also find descriptions and breakdowns of what each ability does. Along with the unlock conditions for all the shared and special abilities in the game.

Sora’s Level Up and Ability Chart

In the opening of the game, you’ll have a choice between three weapons, the Sword, Shield, or Staff. Your choice here determines Sora’s ability schedule as he levels up. This is shown in the table below.

Generally, the Sheild results in the safest playthrough, given the defensive abilities you’ll acquire early in the game. The Staff allows for Sora to have the most possible MP at the end of the game, meaning that choosing the Staff is the only way to maximize Sora’s magic damage potential.
