Ragnarok, translated as Infinity in Kingdom Hearts II, is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to fire a cluster of energy shots from the tip of their Keyblade.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts, Ragnarok is a Special Ability. When close to a target at a slightly-high elevation or higher, selecting the Ragnarok command will cause Sora 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. Unlike Sonic Blade or Ars 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 the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX release of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the initial Ragnarok command and the Impact command are implemented as Reaction Commands. Ragnarok costs 4 AP to equip and 3 MP 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.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Ragnarok is an attack 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.

In Re: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.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Infinity is a limit that is exclusive to Genie. The limit begins with Infinity, 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.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Infinity is also an action ability exclusive to Limit Form. It is a limit 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 several Reaction Commands, which are available in quick succession and vary in projectile quantity. Shoot is the weakest attack and is eventually replaced by the more powerful Impact attack. Soon after, there is a brief opportunity to execute Giga 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.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Ragnarok is Sora's Limit 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.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Ragnarok is a Shotlock 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.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Ragnarok is a Dual Attack that allows the user and Spirits to fire countless projectiles, dealing Light-elemental damage. Enemies can be hit up to 20 times.

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

In Kingdom Hearts III, Ragnarok is a max-level Shotlock that requires 24 locks to use. When activated, Sora Formchanges into Second Form and fires streams of brilliant light that fly at his targets.

Origin

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 the Final Fantasy series. It also appears as an airship and a legendary beast.
