[@CunnyMuncher]

@@jeridrozniarek7411 That's cause 2's was better balanced and telegraphs were more consistent. KH3 has little to no telegraphs and mysterious contact damage, which usually 1-shots you in crit mode. So you'll attack an enemy and then it suddenly activates the hitbox without prior indication, causing you to instantly die. And this coming from a dude who's been playing KH since the first week KH1 released for PS2.

Critical Mode for KH3 is so good. Im glad they took the time to properly adjust it and give you the tools to survive instead of 3D and BBS where the most they did was change damage done and taken

[@IzzuZiq]

BBS does at least give SOMETHING to help you at least. Like more slots to begin with to give you more options with what you can put in your deck early on (and as someone who started doing BBS Critical Mode recently, it certainly helps to have potions AND more than just 2 commands available for use early on) Not to mention Zero EXP in the HD ports of BBS was tweaked so that you won't be doing chip damage

[@alrox9760]

And dream drop distance has a new game plus so the help there is that you keep your spirits in critical mode so you could unlock abilities easier

[@TsuNaru]

I went full magic route in my initial play of KH3 Critical. Fantastic fun and way more interesting than a pure melee build, in my opinion. Once you get strong enough, the game goes from being nightmare 1-2 hit deaths for 3/5 of the game to a pleasant experience where everything gets nuked by Thundaga/Aeroga and Supreme Magic.

[@namelessnpc6689]

@MrRomesXIII Yeah. That battle can be tough. iirc, I would spam reaction commands and sonic blade with limit form and then use cure to make my drive gauge go up faster and repeat the process. depending on the heartless, once they get close to you they'll start attacking and if they do they can stun-lock you cuz the ground dudes have a spinning attack or something and the hovering dudes have the fire ball thingies. so what u needed to do i think is basically minimize as much u can the amount of heartless start attacking, because the more are attacking, the harder it is to keep track of them and the more likely you'll die from an unsuspected attack. basically. in my rotation, after using up limit break and without any reaction commands available immediately, i would be somewhat surrounded so sora would use his spinning attack to get a lot of the gauge back and i would spam that, but the thing is that would cause me to be in one place for several swings and it would simply take too long before something started attacking me and i might die. so i think what i started doing was i would do 1-2 swings to recharge drive gauge, do like 2-3 dodge rolls away, and once im sure nothing's attacking me, im ok to do 1-2 more swings again. sorry for the wall of text.

Been loving the heck out of Critical Mode since I'm forced to be more careful. The game discourages you from sticking to one strategy throughout most fights (camping from afar or constantly being up close and personal is both bad. Gotta balance both) and I've learnt the enemy attack patterns better to figure out the block timing better. Even then, I didn't die a whole lot in both New Game+ and regular Critical Mode runs (didn't even come close to 30 deaths in both runs) but I blame that on me experimenting with different builds on Proud long before Critical Mode came out

Couldn’t tell you how annoyed I kept getting with Donald and Goofy’s comments left and right about keeping world order and how Sora is an unreliable idiot or how nothing Sora ever comments on could possibly be true even after everything they’ve been through like there’s no such thing as a talking snowman but walking talking skeletons or bathtub are perfectly normal and reasonable.
