    Default Drive vs. Limit vs. Summon

    Which playstyle do you prefer more. Why?
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    drives, definetly
    The limits get annoying,
    and the summons are hard to work.

    Drives are better, I set Donald and Goofy to Sora attack (for leveling forms), so they are useless anyway, why not just use them both.

    I really don't use any of those. They never really seem to do much.

    Rye made this!

    Granted, I haven't even given any summons a try, but that's because drives are just that awesome. Limits are fine, but I don't like losing my MP for it. I like to have it around for cure as often as possible.

    Drives are just that awesome. Summons are powerful, but they aren't nearly as cool as drives, and don't usually last as long, so, since they deplete the Drive gauge, I don't use them. And while limits are nice, they aren't as cool as forms. Dual wielding Keyblades...

    Besides, being able to attack people just by Jumping/Gliding around them is great. Final Form rocks.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I wouldn't say summons are powerful. I think any Drive Form far surpasses any Summon. EXCEPT FOR THAT DAMNED ANTI FORM. I keep going Anti every time I battle Demyx in Proud Mode. I can't defeat the damned water things because I have no magic and only a finishing blow can destroy them and the Anti's combos are so infuriatingly long. I resolved to just use magic and forego the Drives in this battle as I'd never be able to use any other drive but Anti during.
    ANYWAY . . . Peter Pan is a useful Summon for boosting your score in the Titan Cup.

    Final Form rocks like AC/DC combined with Metallica.

    As for my personal battle style . . . usually I prefer Hack'n'Slash as I tend to forget about everything else available.

    Ok, let me be more specific. Final Form Genie is powerful. Very powerful. In the Titan Cup/Paradox Titan cup, he can blow through an entire group with a single casting of his Infinity Limit (yes, even on Proud mode).

    The key to the water forms is the reaction command. It clears them very easily. Although, before you do that battle, jump out of Hollow Bastion, go somewhere else, and convert to Anti-Form a few times to drop your Anti-points, so that you won't have such a high chance of Anti-Forming against Demyx.

    And Peter Pan is nothing. Stitch's Ukelele wins the Titan Cup point boosting award.

    Y'know, I actually beat Demyx with anti form on proud. Getting in the complete combo to finish him off was a bit of a pain, though.

    That being said, I love anti in boss battles. Only boss battles, though. I get owned whenever I get it and have multiple enemies to fight.

    I liked Drives, Like mentioned by Ouch! I liked getting anti in some boss battles on proud, but not other than that. Final form was just to awsome. Granted I did enjoy some of the limits, I thought the last one you had in the world that never was was awsome.
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    I'll have to check that out.

    The reaction command doesn't do much for the 50 you have to get rid of to begin with. I've also tried over and over again to get Anti outside of the Demyx area. I just keep getting the normal trans. It's only when I face Demyx that I go Anti out of nowhere. I'll stick with fire and lightning spells, man. Although I can go Wisdom before I enter the battle.

    Haven't ever used Stitch.

    Unless you beat all 50 water Forms with Anti-Form, I'm not listening.

    Fighting Berserkers in Anti-Form is a pain . . . anything else is just a cheap kill.

    Yes, it does. Just try to stay in as large a group of them as possible. Because the final swing of the reaction command will wipe out every form it hits, and it has a large AoE. Just try it for one complete battle against those forms.

    Trust me, use Stitch for that. Normally, he sucks. But each time he uses Ukelele (either by himself or during Ohana! [though Ohana! is better, since you can control it]) every enemy on the screen will stop and just start shooting out points. You can get over a thousand points from one summon against some groups.

    Killing Water Forms with Anti would be suicide, since you can't use the reaction command, and without that, you really don't have a chance against some of the timers.

    Fighting Berserkers with physical attacks is a pain no matter what form you are in.

    We all know that isn't possible. When I said beat, I meant finish off. I brought down the last bar and a half as anti. All anti is good for is speed anyway.
