Last Charge, also called Last Word, is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It allows the user to charge into an enemy.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Last Word is a Finish command. The user charges in the direction they are facing. Therefore, the user may miss the attack by not facing and being locked on to an enemy. Also, if the user is too close, it is possible to push an enemy out of the way with the light columns at the start of the attack. A successful execution of Last Word is the only way to finish the final battle against Vanitas.

In Kingdom Hearts III, Last Charge is an action ability that costs 7 AP to equip. It is a combo finisher that always occurs as the last hit in a combo. Sora charges forward and hits foes with a quick forward slash that then creates a pillar of light that further launches them upward. The aerial version of this ability additionally has the light pillar shoot downward, potentially hitting enemies below. The damage of both of Last Charge's hits scale with Sora's Magic stat.

When equipped alongside Magic Flash, Last Charge will take priority when Sora is attacking a single enemy.
