358/2 Days > Abilities
Unlike previous installments of the series, Abilities in 358/2 Days function in a somewhat different way. Instead of acting as offensive attacks like Sonic Blade and Raganrok in previous games, these Abilities act more as enhancers, boosting Roxas’ stats and giving him certain advantages in battle. Some act as actual Abilities, such as Dodge Roll and Glide, while others merely add different effects to Roxas’ attacks. A complete list of all Abilities available in the game is provided below.
