Ragnarok, translated asInfinity inKingdom Hearts II, is a technique introduced inKingdom Hearts. It allows the user to fire a cluster of energy shots from the tip of theirKeyblade.

Mechanics[edit]

InKingdom Hearts, Ragnarok is aSpecial Ability. When close to a target at a slightly-high elevation or higher, selecting theRagnarok command will causeSora to automatically jump up to the enemy and deliver a five hit aerial attack combo, after which he will hover while charging energy into a sphere from the tip of the Keyblade. UnlikeSonic Blade orArs Arcanum, it requires no timing to execute the finisher,Impact (インパクト, Inpakuto^?); however, the longer Sora charges before using Impact, the more projectiles are fired and the heavier the damage, with the optimal time being the instant the Keyblade releases a circular flash of light. The projectiles home in on enemies after being fired, while Sora can move freely. Waiting too long to use Impact causes the energy to dissipate without releasing the projectiles. Sora is invincible during the initial weapon combo, but when Sora is charging the projectiles, he is left vulnerable to damage. In theKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release ofKingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Ragnarok command and the Impact command are implemented asReaction Commands. Ragnarok costs 4AP to equip and 3MP to use. When Ragnarok is fired just after enemies are cleared in a room, the projectiles will fly and lock on to a specific spot often out of Sora's reach, as opposed to scattering in random directions.

InKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Ragnarok is anattack sleight that allows Sora to simply rise into the air, then fire a fusillade of beams horizontally across the field. Sora can adjust his position as he hovers, and will fire the beams automatically after a short period of time. While pressing fires the projectiles sooner, it does not modify the damage dealt.

InRe:Chain of Memories, the fusillade homes in on targets, and Sora moves slower as he adjusts position while also being able to turn his aiming direction. Using to fire the fusillade when the burst of light appears (or at any point after it) will generate more beams, and the amount will not increase any further even if Sora simply waits for the attack to fire on its own. Sora is unable to move until all the beams fully dissipate, or the sleight is broken, and the beams all normally track downward mainly to impact the ground sooner if they happen to curve around specific targets.

InKingdom Hearts II, Infinity is alimit that is exclusive toGenie. The limit begins withInfinity, in which Sora and Genie act as one unit to move forward while punching at enemies while their weapons fly about them. can be used to steer direction. Afterwards,Impact causes Genie to click his fingers three times as Sora uses their weapons as a clock counting down to generate a large explosion of firework-like magic explosions.

InKingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Infinity is also anaction ability exclusive toLimit Form. It is alimit that is equipped by default and costs 80 MP to use. It is automatically assigned to in the shortcuts menu. On activation, Sora performs an aerial attack combo and then uses his Keyblade to charge up energy in the air. Then, the energy releases homing projectiles through one out of severalReaction Commands, which are available in quick succession and vary in projectile quantity.Shoot is the weakest attack and is eventually replaced by the more powerfulImpact attack. Soon after, there is a brief opportunity to executeGiga Impact, which fires the most projectiles and gives Limit Form 1 Exp Point. Afterwards, Shoot is available again and is executed automatically if too much time passes. Each individual projectile deals Neutral damage relative to Sora's Magic stat.HP Gain restores Sora's HP only when he hits the enemies with his aerial combo.

InKingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Ragnarok is Sora'sLimit Break. It allows Sora to lift into the air and gather thin lasers into a sphere, which can be fired with, releasing projectiles that home in on enemies to deal heavy damage. The lasers can be charged up until a prime point, signaled by a white flash, whereby releases the maximum number of projectiles. The Final Limit also releases trios of spinning capsule-shaped beams, which travel in a straight line to deal devastating damage to enemies and pierce their guard.

InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Ragnarok is aShotlock that has a maximum level of 4 and max lock of 16. Once the attack has begun, the player can perform extra attacks by pressing at the right time to fire additional projectiles.

InKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Ragnarok is aDual Attack that allows the user and Spirits to fire countless projectiles, dealingLight-elemental damage. Enemies can be hit up to 20 times.

InKingdom Hearts Union χ, Ragnarok is aspecial attack that targets all enemies. It costs 2 special attack gauges to perform. It inflicts damage with no attributes.

InKingdom Hearts III, Ragnarok is a max-level Shotlock that requires 24 locks to use. When activated, SoraFormchanges intoSecond Form and fires streams of brilliant light that fly at his targets.

Ragnarök is an event in Norse mythology that is similar to the Apocalypse. It is an event that is set off by the death of the god Balder, which was orchestrated by Loki. The Ragnarok was a final clash of all the major entities of Norse mythology. This caused all of the human spirits up in Valhalla to come down for the final battle. This bloody encounter ebbs with the destruction of the universe and Balder along with a little handful of entities that are put in the bodies of children and only contain memories of the world before Ragnarok. Those entities would become mortal.

Ragnarok is also a recurring Summon and weapon that appears in various games in theFinal Fantasy series. It also appears asan airship anda legendary beast.
