I actually did go with a magic build in an action RPG and it was really fun. By the time I got to fairy harp, I had goofy with MP haste and MP gift which basically made it impossible for me to run out unless I was alone.

A story of my KH experience: I was at the near end of the first game, when I got to the cutscene where sora gets the Gummi piece to access the final world and Kairi wishes you luck and gives you her lucky charm and after the cutscene ends you get the oathkeeper and then it hit me, I should have the oathkeeper equipped for the rest of the game not just for its stats but also because of what it represents, the oathkeepers Keychain is in the shape of the same charm Kairi gave to sora before he left to stop anseme, I wanted to beat the game with the oathkeeper because I thought of it as a blessing from Kairi and I even think the Keychain as a sweetheart grip

[@wariospeedwagoon294]

I think later variants of oathkeeper look better but it is my favorite. Not even for the ship. It has a nice color palette, looks sleek but not to sterilized. Got the heart and damn the spiked edge looks amazing. Also the charms cool, would look even better if it had the bbs charm designs.

[@agentclank8183]

@Noob7Zilla You sure because, they are some slight little changes between versions. Mainly at the helm with a slight color change. Kh1 is more grey winged. While later versions add a bit more turquoise.

I do prefer Oathkeeper, but not for the shipping reasons, but because I liked the design at stat boosts. Also, Magic is OP in KH and anybody who says otherwise hasn't actually tried to make a magic build.

[@kaelin_cherise]

Except in 1 where your equipment has to accommodate your lack of defense and you learn a lot of the best moves at the end of the game. But otherwise yess Magic Builds. Source: played some of the games out of order and am currently getting my backside handed to me in the colosseum in 1. But the Divine Rose is my saving grace.

[@53prime]

Magnega into Thundaga clears pretty much any non boss screen. In KHII. It's pretty much salvation lite. I wasn't a huge fan of magic in KH1 just because most have a relatively small area of effect and I tended to equip accessories to boost AP or Attack over MP and I think, IIRC, magic power is scaled to your max MP.

I was about to defend lionheart, but then you made the pipe make the noise it did, and I realized that my reasoning was somehow worse, as I equip keyblade either for the noise or the effects it gives off. My best example is that I had in kh2 bond of flame and the one you get from auran on valor form, for maximum explosions. I don't even think they worked well together, I was just fire, enough to engulf sora if enough enemies were nearby. I'd 100% equip a random pipe if it made that noise upon hit, and I wouldn't look back.
