Payback Raid is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It allows the user to counterattack by throwing the Keyblade at the enemy after being knocked into the air by an enemy attack.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Payback Raid is a reprisal command exclusive to Ventus that is triggered by pressing when the user is knocked into the air by an attack. It has a maximum level of 4 and fills the Command Gauge by 30%. Ventus is invincible while using Payback Raid.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Payback Raid is a reprisal command exclusive to Sora that is triggered by pressing when the user is knocked into the air by an attack. It grants +1 to Strength and +1 to Defense when attached to a Dream Eater recipe. When used, Sora throws the Keyblade at the enemy, dealing damage once when piercing the enemy and again when returning to him.
