KH: Frequently Asked Questions

What a good question!

In general, I think of the manga as a “last resort” sort of thing.  The games have a huge talent for balancing fun excitement and emotional heartbreak.  The manga pokes a lot of fun at KH tropes and doesn’t quite hit that balance.  But the plot is there, as long as you take it with a grain of salt!

One big problem is: the manga only covers KH1, Chain of Memories, KH2, and 358/2 Days.  No Birth By Sleep (which is essential!), Re:Coded, Dream Drop Distance (also essential), or KH3 as of yet.  So even if you do some games with the manga, you’ll have to find another avenue to complete the series.

The easiest way to play all the games is on the PS4.  You can get ALL the games there now, which is great!  PS4 is also pretty cheap these days since the PS5 is on the horizon.  Maybe watching a Let’s Play online would be an option?  Find one without someone talking over it. >_<

The 358 manga is actually a VERY good substitute for the game!  In my opinion, it’s even better than the 358 movie that comes with the PS3/4 remakes.  Plus, the 358 game is a huge slog to get through.  I totally recommend this manga.

I hope this helps!  It’s a great series if you can get into it.  Hopefully the new KH3 DLC clears up a lot of the flaws of the newest game. >_< 

*scratches it out*“Waiting for Final Mix!”

Honestly, I don’t know if I still have the original .psd that I used to make that image, so I’ll probably have to make an entirely new one. ;_; Sad.

This is a great point!  Thank you for pointing it out!

Boosted Medals means they get additional Strength.  Usually it’s +1000 but maybe it’s sometimes more than that now?  I’m not 100% sure.  But all the grey medals (trait medals) are boosted automatically, which is stupid and confusing.

So there are two different concepts at play here.  Boosters are temporary buffs that apply to certain medal types until the end of the month.  Basically, they are a way for the game to “reward you” without actually rewarding you.

What you may be talking about - the black and white medals - are called Trait Medals.  I explain those a little more in-depth here: https://kingdomheartsfaq.tumblr.com/post/184405469885/hello-i-have-a-quick-question-on-khux-so-i

If a medal has Extra Attack on it (which is a trait) then it will be used twice.  This kind of gives the illusion that one medal is on top of another medal?  It’s sort of confusing.  But Extra Attack is the way to win PVP!

That medal probably has the Extra Attack trait, which allows it to be used a second time at 40% power. It’s honestly the best trait in the game right now.

Those are called Trait Medals! They are an awful addition to the game. Basically, when combined with the medal depicted on the Trait Medal, they let you add/roll a trait. But if you don’t have the matching medal, they are completely useless. >_< They just take up space. But getting rid of them is inadvisable in case you get the appropriate medal someday.

Hm. Technically speaking, you are fighting a bot with their setup. They aren’t attacking you while you attack them. That would make PvP way more complicated.

Firstly, the Player always has first attack. The defender is always second. If it was real-time you would have to decide who goes first.

Secondly, real-time combat could take way longer if your opponent isn’t playing on Auto. Plus the connection between phones might lag and take longer to respond.

When you attack, you choose when to use your Supernova abilities. When you defend, your Supernova abilities are activated automatically on specific slots (specified in the Supernova description).
