Top Ten Party Members in Kingdom Hearts 2

10. Jack Skellington

Jack is primarily a mage. His attacks are based on magic, although any other physical attacks he makes are used with his fists. He has no armor slots, and his magic points run out faster than others because he uses so much magic in battle. His limit ability, Dance Call, enables Sora and Jack to combine their magic to unleash it upon their enemies.

9 Aladdin

Aladdin is quick and agile in battle, although his strength and defense are not too high in comparison to others’. He has several support abilities, and even more physical attacks. His limit, Speedster, involves him and Sora completing a burst of rapid attacks, which also release orbs that are used to raise health, magic, drive, or experience.

8. Jack Sparrow

Jack uses his sword to attack his enemies, along with throwing small bombs and knives. For these reasons, he is best known for his offensive maneuvers. His style is, in a way, similar to Aladdin’s. However, his movements are not nearly as fast, and he also has his projectiles, the bombs and knives. His limit, Bluff, sucks in nearby enemies with a vortex while he and Sora attack the enemies that are trapped by it.

7. Simba

Simba has a strong offensive attack, and uses his claws and fangs to cause damage to the enemy. Alongside his strong offense, he has a good defense, and is very agile. Simba has quite a few different healing abilities. His limit, Wildcat, involves dashing and slashing at enemies, and also releasing a roar that damages enemies with a large energy field.

6. Mulan

As Ping, she was easily the worst party member available. However, once she shed her armor and became known as Mulan again, she acquired her full skillset. With the help of Mushu, Mulan mainly uses magic as her offensive, although she has a sword, with which she is quick and agile. Her limit, Red Rocket, fires a barrage of fireballs at the enemy; then, Sora attacks his enemies while surrounded by flame, as Mulan shoots fireballs from her hand.

5. Goofy

Goofy, one of Sora’s typical companions, has a strong defense and a high HP to make up for his low MP. His weapon is a shield, and he uses it to block, as well as to throw and to run into an enemy. He has two limit commands: Whirli-Goof, where Sora and Goofy both spin to damage enemies; and Knocksmash, where Goofy tosses his shield into the air and Sora hits it like a baseball, and ends with Goofy shooting through the air like a missile.

4. Beast

Beast has only a little variety in abilities and attacks. However, he makes up for it with his brute strength. He is able to charge at enemies, tackle them, roar, and tear through them, making him one of the more formidable party members. His limit, Twin Howl, damages enemies with a roar before dashing, slashing, and releasing one final howl.

3. Donald

While Goofy is the main defense of the team, Donald is the mage. He has a higher MP because of it, and he casts fire, blizzard, thunder, and cure. Although he does have a staff for a weapon, he does not really ever use it. His health shows much improvement from the first game, where he was notorious from being killed within minutes of any normal battle. Like Goofy, Donald has two limits: Duck Flare, which shoots rockets at the enemies, and Comet, which attacks the enemies with a burst of energy that makes it look almost like fireworks.

2. Auron

Like Beast, Auron does not have too many support abilities. However, he is a very physical attacker. He is able to attack quickly, slashing at enemies with his sword. His main ability enables him to slash at enemies in midair; meanwhile, his limit, Bushido, involves slashing at enemies around him and Sora, ending with the two of them using their weapons to create a tornado to deal heavy damage to the enemy.

1. Riku

Riku has been known to be the best party member in the game, especially because he is the final party member that Sora has. His strength and defense are superior, while his abilities are some of the best in the game as well. Furthermore, his main abilities are also available as reaction commands when playing as Sora. For example, Dark Aura can be used after a combo and Dark Shield can be used after taking damage. His limit, Session, is one of the strongest limits in the game, tied with Sora’s Trinity limit, and it involves a series of combos, quick jabs, fireballs, and then their final move, which fires a beam of light and a beam of dark energy at each other, drawing in enemies and damaging them heavily.
