How to level up Drive Forms in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix employs a total of five Drive Forms, four of which can be acquired by simply working through the main story. The fifth Drive Form, simply known as Final Form, is unlocked by chance, usually when fighting Roxas in The World That Never Was toward the end of the game.

So, you have all of these Drive Forms, and you aren't entirely sure what to do with them. Well, here's how you can make the most of their abilities and help maximize Sora's potential in battle.

How to level up Drive Forms

Valor

Valor is the first Drive Form Sora receives in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix and unlocks after meeting the three faeries in the prologue. As the most basic Form, Valor can be leveled up quite easily and in no way, shape, or form requires any lofty tasks to max out. In essence, it's just the case of landing as many physical attacks as possible while in Valor Form.

The World That Never Was is the perfect location to grind out levels for the Valor Form. By running laps of the spiraling tower of pathways and defeating its endless waves of enemies, Valor can be activated and, in turn, upgraded to its peak position. The more hits, the faster the progression.

Limit

Limit is unlocked after Sora and the Disney duo return to Twilight Town for a second visit. Once obtained, you will need to activate the Drive Form and use Limit attacks against enemies. Using Limit attacks does, of course, mean using up MP, meaning you should aim to have a full stock of Ethers, or be near a save point to replenish your gauge.

Being in a world with a great deal of Heartless is ideal for maxing out the Limit form. One location, in particular, is Agrabah. Specifically, the Cave of Wonders, where you can find a Mushroom to engage in battle with. Simply activate the Limit Drive Form and repeatedly spam Limit-based attacks until your MP gauge depletes. Rinse and repeat until you have enough XP to level up your Drive Form.

Wisdom

The Master Drive Form unlocks after reaching Hollow Bastion. This is right before venturing into the Space Paranoids cyber world. Unlike other tiers, the Master form is leveled up by acquiring Orbs. These Orbs are dropped by Heartless while entwined with the Master form.

Like the other Drive Forms, finding a location where Heartless nest by the boatload is the best way to gain XP. The Timeless River, where you actually obtain the Drive Form, is a perfect place to grind out waves of Heartless. By spooling through its connecting windows and running laps of its river, you should be able to dig out enough enemies to max out the Wisdom tier.

Master

The Master Drive Form is unlocked after reaching Hollow Bastion, just before venturing into the Space Paranoids cyber world. Unlike other tiers, the Master form is levelled up by acquiring Orbs. These Orbs are dropped by Heartless while entwined with the Master form.

Again, the best place to run laps is in the Timeless River world, using its network of windows and rivers to slay as many Heartless as possible. Using the save point will, of course, replenish your MP. Just remember: large Orbs are worth three points, and small Orbs are only worth one.

Final

The Final Form, as mentioned earlier, is really only unlocked by chance. Typically, the form is activated during the Roxas battle in The World That Never Was. Once unlocked, you can use it for a rather hefty five Drive Points.

Leveling up the Final Drive Form involves defeating as many Nobodies as humanly possible. After switching to the form, simply hack and slash your way through as many waves of Nobodies as you can. The Twilight Town mansion is a strong starting point, which acts as a hub for the enemies for the second half of the story.

What are Drive Forms?

Drive Forms increase Sora's abilities for a short period of time and can be activated by spending Drive Points accumulated during battle. Each Drive Form has a series of unique attacks and abilities and can help turn the tide against an enemy as and when needed.
