I saw a video that was very interesting where they counted the exp per hour for every keyblade, map card, and wether its better on castle oblivion or destiny island but i doubt all of that aplies to riku have never beaten the first 3 worls as sora 😂
@nickmcsleighten8 ай бұрын
I think I know that one, it was probably Derikuf’s Sora Level Guide, but unfortunately, it doesn’t really apply to Riku because Riku doesn’t have any good sleights for grinding 😅 unlike Sora who can just Mega Flare everything in his path

back in the ps2 days i liked to level up lv99 all characters, now i dont believe i did that. level up sora and riku to 99 just for achievment ;-;
@Duo_Strikes2 ай бұрын
i found out about the lexeus strategy while playing as sora since i pretty much didn't want to go for any strategy of my own and found out quickly about the ridiculous airspin, what i didn't know is what rooms to do to get the most exp, this video does help a lot with this.

Defeating Vexen was a test of my patience for poorly designed mechanics. Defeating Ansem was testing my patience on poorly designed bossfights (and hitboxes). Powerleveling Riku to 99, the last "achievement" I have to do, is a test for my sanity. Its just so... goddamn.... tedious... its literally spamming triangle, getting dark mode, spamming more triangle (if you have a mickey card), or jump attack spam. Ive had some grinds on nes, snes, and playstation games. but dear god this just melts the brain

I’ve been using rooms with more Heartless. That’ll increase my chances of leveling up. I haven’t completed the game yet. No escapes, no continue. I save every round trip of rooms because I have a Save Room ready to be safe. I’ve been leveling up in patterns of 10, 10, 5. I know it takes longer but it’ll be worth it in the end. Also, I love your tree puns and Angry Birds reference.

Had to look this up. Been using strategy 1 on my own and it's been almost 6 hours and I'm only lv74/555k exp and feel like I'm doing something wrong since I still have soo much xp to go. Will try strat 2 and hope it takes less than another 6 hours
