As in other role-playing games, the various traits of aKingdom Hearts character are measured by theirstats. Stats measure attributes such as the magnitude of damage dealt by the character's attacks, the number of abilities they can equip, or how many spells they can cast consecutively. Stats generally grow throughout the course of each game, as characters level up or complete certain objectives.
Recurring Stats[edit]
Level[edit]
A character's level represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character. The character's level will go up each time they obtain set amounts ofexperience points; normally the level is automatically increased, while inKingdom Hearts 358/2 Days andKingdom Hearts Re:coded, the player is instead awardedLevel Up panels or chips that they can choose to equip. This generally provides the character with an assortment of bonuses to their other stats, with the exception ofKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories andKingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, in which the player chooses one of three bonuses upon leveling up. In the original game, gaining a level fully restores the player character's HP, and inKingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, it only does so if the chosen bonus is the HP.
Leveling up may also grant additional bonuses besides stat increases. InKingdom Hearts, leveling up may grant a newability, an additional slot foritems, or an additional equipment slot foraccessories. InKingdom Hearts II, leveling up may grant a new ability. InKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, one of the bonuses available to Sora after leveling up may be a newsleight.

InKingdom Hearts II,Drive Forms andsummons gain experience and level up independently of Sora's level. The same goes for commands inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for each playable character, which require command points in order to level up.
Hit Points (HP)[edit]
Hit Points,Health Points[?], orHP, represent a character's or enemy's health. When damage is taken in battle or in the field, the damage is taken out of the current HP. Once HP falls to zero, the character is knocked out and can no longer fight until they revive by themselves, a healing item or spell is used or cast on them, or they get rescued. In the case of the main character, losing all HP results in aGame Over.
HP can be restored by collectingHP Prizes, or with healing items likePotions andElixirs,Cure magic, or some abilities.
A character's current and maximum HP are indicated on-screen by the green HP gauge, which typically accompanies an image of the character. An enemy's HP gauge will appear on-screen if theScan ability is equipped, with certain games displaying it automatically without the need for Scan.
Boosting maximum HP[edit]
InKingdom Hearts, maximum HP may increase upon leveling up. Additionally, equipping someaccessories also boosts maximum HP. Sora's initial maximum HP is 18, and Donald's initial maximum HP at level one is 12.
InKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, HP starts at 80. Upon leveling up, the player may choose to increase maximum HP by 15. HP will eventually max out at 560.
InKingdom Hearts II, maximum HP will be increased by gainingBonus Levels. Sora starts out at 20 HP and each Bonus Level HP increase increases Sora's maximum HP by 5 and after acquiring all Bonus Level HP increases, HP will max out at 120. On Critical Mode, each increase only improves HP by 2 and it will max at 60.
InKingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, equippingLevel Up panels raises maximum HP, with the amount depending on the character. Maximum HP may also be boosted by equipping certainring panels.
InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, increases in maximum HP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks. Additionally, equipping theHP Boost ability also boosts maximum HP.
InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, equipping Level Up,Trophy, or HP +Stat Chips in theStat Matrix increases maximum HP, up to 400. Maximum HP may be affected byCheat Tuners.
InKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, increases in maximum HP are awarded for winning certain battles or completing certain tasks. Additionally, equipping the HP Boost ability also boosts maximum HP.
InKingdom Hearts III, maximum HP will be permanently increased by gainingBonus Levels. HP can be temporarily boosted by eatingmeals created with the assistance ofLittle Chef inLe Grand Bistrot. Critical Mode reduces the maximum HP of each character significantly.
Magic Points (MP)[edit]
Magic Points, orMP, represents a character's ability to castmagic and use certain active abilities inKingdom Hearts,Kingdom Hearts II,Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, andKingdom Hearts III. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items likeEthers andElixirs, or with some abilities.
InKingdom Hearts, the maximum MP determines the strength of magic spells, such as the amount of damage inflicted by magic, the amount of HP restored by Cure, or the length of Aero, though it does not affect special abilities such as Sonic Blade, as they rely on the Strength stat to calculate their damage. Later games have this instead be determined by a separate Magic stat.
A character's current and maximum MP are indicated on-screen by the blueMP gauge, which appears alongside their HP gauge.
Boosting maximum MP[edit]
InKingdom Hearts, maximum MP increases when leveling up to certain level thresholds. Additionally, equipping some accessories and weapons can boost, or in some cases lower, maximum MP. Sora's initial maximum MP will be 3 if he chooses theDream Rod in theDive to the Heart, and 2 otherwise. His maximum MP increases to 10 with the Dream Rod at level 66, or 8 at level 60 with the Dream Sword or level 66 with the Dream Shield. By equipping theSpellbinder,Lady Luck, orUltima Weapon, in addition to three accessories that increase maximum MP by 2, Sora can increase his maximum MP to 18 if the Dream Rod was selected, or 16 otherwise. Donald Duck starts with a maximum of 3 MP at level 1, and increases to 10 at level 79. Goofy starts with a maximum of 1 MP at level 1, and increases to 5 at level 56.
InKingdom Hearts Final Mix, Sora can achieve a maximum MP of 19 if the Dream Rod was selected, or 17 otherwise, after reaching a very high level and equipping theDiamond Dust Keychain, which increases MP by 3, along with three accessories that increase maximum MP by 2. InKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, Sora's maximum MP can be reduced to 0 by choosing either the Dream Sword or Dream Shield, equipping theEXP Zero ability to avoid him getting increased maximum MP on a level up, and equipping theOne-Winged Angel, which reduces maximum MP by 2, and no MP-boosting accessories.
InKingdom Hearts II, Sora's maximum MP will be increased by gainingBonus Levels. Sora's MP starts at 100, each Bonus Level MP increase increases Sora's maximum MP by 10, and after acquiring all Bonus Level MP increases, MP will max out at 140.

Due to the unique battle system ofKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Sora, Riku, and enemies are given a revised array of stats, with only HP carrying over. For Sora's case only, the various amounts of damage he deals in battle are now determined by the stats of thebattle cards and sleights he uses, instead of having a stat that gets increased every level.
