Withstand Combo
Withstand Combo (コンボリーヴ, Konbo Rīvu?, lit. "Combo Leave"), also translated asOnce More, is anability introduced inKingdom Hearts II. It allows the user to retain 1HP after being attacked by a combo that would normally finish them off, provided they have more than 1 HP beforehand.
This ability is invaluable against bosses that attack quickly and relentlessly.
Mechanics[edit]
InKingdom Hearts II, Once More is asupport ability that costs 4AP to equip. The user will remain with 1HP left as long as they don't hit the ground after a combo that lifts them up into the air. The use ofAerial Recovery orRetaliating Slash, as well as reverting from a Drive Form will cancel Once More if they are used or they occur during a combo that lifts them up into the air.
InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Once More is asupport ability that can be equipped once. The user remains unable to survive with 1 HP left during a combo that is taken during the use of a command.[?]
InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, Once More is anaccessory ability.
InKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Once More is asupport ability that can be equipped once. The use of commands that keep the user unable to move such asFiraga Burst orDark Splicer will keep the user alive even after having taken combos that seemed separate. The user will remain immortal if they keep using commands one right after another. The user will also be able to survive with 1 HP while falling after a combo that lifted them up into the air, but only if not a single input (joystick included) was pressed in the meantime. Once More allows the user to survive the next hit after attacking a wall, even if already at 1 HP.[1]
InKingdom Hearts III, Withstand Combo is asupport ability that costs 4AP to equip. Withstand Combo may get negated if the user hits a wall during a combo.
