Situation Commands seen on the left side are unlocked through battle performance.

Situation Commands are a gameplay element inKingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- andKingdom Hearts III, replacingReaction Commands from previous games. They allow different unique actions to be performed by pressing Triangle / in certain contexts. Multiple Situation commands can appear at once, and they can be cycled through with either the D-pad or with / (depending on game options).

The Situation Commands that appear during combat are based on the player's battle style, and can vary amongGrand Magic,Formchanges,Style Changes,Attractions, andTeam Attacks. A highly-varied battle style can also unlock multiple Situation Commands simultaneously, allowing the player to unleash several powerful moves in rapid succession.

Mechanics[edit]

Situation Commands can appear in two locations: immediately above the Attack command and above the Command Menu. Non-combat commands, the Finish commands of Formchanges, Links, Team Attacks, and Attractions, and certain context-specific commands appear above the Attack command. Only one of these Situation Commands can appear at a time. The majority of combat-oriented Situation Commands appear above the Command Menu. Up to six of these Situation Commands can appear at once; if a seventh Situation Command becomes available, the oldest one disappears. During the final fight against theDemon Tide in theKeyblade Graveyard inKingdom Hearts III, up to 17 Situation Commands can appear at once.

Combat-based Situation Commands are unlocked through battle performance. LikeCommand Styles andFinish commands fromKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, engaging in combat has arrow-shaped markers appear above the Command Menu. These arrows represent a hidden number called theform value (フォーム値, fōmu-chi^?), with each arrow corresponding to 25 form value. When the form value reaches 100, the markers are dispensed and Situation Commands appear above the Command Menu, alongside a timer next to them indicating how long the player has until the Command disappears.

Hitting enemies increases the form value by a certain amount, determined by the attack used. This increase is 20% greater ifSituation Boost is equipped. Attacks that hit multiple enemies will add to the form value for each enemy; if multiple enemies are hit in unison, the second enemy will contribute half of the form value as the first, the third enemy half the form value of the second, etc. The form value can also be increased by healing whenCure Converter is equipped. If the form value does not increase for 20 seconds, it will decrease by 5 every second.

The time that a Situation Command is available depends on the type of command and if any boosting abilities are equipped. The timers can be refreshed by re-initiating the Situation Command's trigger.Overtime can also extend the timers of Situation Commands. Certain special Situation Commands, likeTrinity Sled, do not disappear over time. Besides the normal passing of time, the timer of Situation Commands can be reduced by theTime Break status effect. Attacks inflicting this status will deplete the timer of all Situation Commands currently available above the Command Menu. This status will also reduce the timer of a currently active Formchange Finish command, and, if inflicted byYozora's Time Break attack, may reduce the timer of the current Link Summon's or Attraction's Finish command. Formchanges, Link Summons and Attractions whose Finish command ends up fully depleted as a consequence will be interrupted.

Situation Command	Timer duration	Timer extension
Formchange	30 seconds	+6 seconds perFormchange Extender
Magic	20 seconds	+4 seconds perGrand Magic Extender
Team Attack	20 seconds	+15 seconds perTeam Attack Extender
Attraction	40 seconds	+8 seconds perAttraction Extender

Activating Situation Commands is disabled in the vicinity of NPCs, such as in certain areas of Thebes inOlympus. Situation Commands also generated with the "Form Charge" EZ Code in areas where enemies do not normally appear (such as Hiro's Garage inSan Fransokyo) can neither be activated if NPCs are around. In these locations, all currently active Situation Commands will be shown in faded colors, with their timer continuing to deplete as normal.

InKingdom Hearts III Re Mind, the "Form Charge"EZ Code will steadily increase the player's Situation Command meter when active, and will always produce a specific command type depending on the player character:

For Sora, a Formchange command corresponding to his currentKeychain will be generated;
For Riku,Double Duel andDark Firaga will always be generated during the Demon Tower boss fight alongside King Mickey and during later boss fights, respectively;
For Aqua, a Formchange command forSpellweaver will always be produced;
For Roxas,Dual Shot will always be generated;
For Kairi,Seven Wishes will always be produced.

Formchange Situation Commands[edit]

When the form value reaches 100, the Formchange Situation Command for the currently equipped Keyblade will always appear under ordinary circumstances. For every magic Situation Command that appears at the same time, the chance of a Formchange Situation Command appearing decreases by 25%. Additionally, if thePhysical element value is 0 – that is, if no Physical-type attacks contributed to the form value – the Formchange Situation Command will not appear.

Magic Situation Commands[edit]

Magic Situation Commands have additional requirements to appear. Whenever form value is accumulated, an equal amount ofelement value (属性値, zokusei-chi^?, lit. "attribute value") is earned, corresponding to theelement of the attack. When the form value reaches 100, the chance of a magic Situation Command appearing is equal to the element value of the corresponding element as a percentage. Up to three magic Situation Commands can appear at once. The magic Situation Command that appears is one tier higher than the strongest spell of that element used during battle (for example, theFiraga command will appear ifFira was cast).

Team Attacks[edit]

Team Attacks (コンビ, Konbi^?, lit. "Combination") can appear as Situation Commands depending on the currentparty members. The process for activating a Team Attack Situation Command is independent of the form value and other Situation Commands.

Every party member has a hidden value called thecooperation value (連携値, renkei-chi^?) that determines when a Team Attack Situation Command will appear. At the start of a battle, the cooperation value threshold needed for a Team Attack to appear is randomly chosen in the range 80-120, with the value being 10 lower ifMore Team Attacks is equipped. Every 5 seconds, the cooperation value is increased depending on the party member's distance from Sora and the enemy:

Distance from the enemy	Increase by distance from Sora
Distance from the enemy	Within 5m	5m-10m	Farther than 10m
Within 10m	10-20	8-16	4-12
Farther than 10m	8-12	4-6	2-4

The party member's cooperation value will not increase if they are grabbed by an enemy, incapacitated, or afflicted with the freeze, stun, burn, cloud, or sneezestatus effects. Additionally, the cooperation value will not increase if Sora is riding aGigas or the party member's Team Attack Situation Command is already available.

Once a party member's cooperation value reaches the threshold determined at the start of the battle, their Team Attack Situation Command will be displayed, and all party members' cooperation values will return to 0. If multiple party members reach the threshold simultaneously, a random Team Attack is chosen. The threshold for activating another Team Attack Situation Command will be redetermined using the same rules as the start of the encounter.

If a party member's Team Attack Situation Command has already appeared in a battle, there is a 20% chance that their cooperation value will reset to 0 instead of activating the Team Attack Situation Command when they reach the cooperation value threshold. This increases to a 40% chance if their Team Attack Situation Command has appeared twice during the battle and a 60% chance if it has appeared three or more times. Even if the player does not activate the Team Attack, the appearance of the Situation Command is still counted.

Attractions[edit]

Main article:Attractions

Attraction Situation Commands are activated by hitting enemies with a green Attraction indicator. The process for activating an Attraction Situation Command is independent of the form value and other Situation Commands.
