Twin Yo-Yos (ツインヨーヨー, Tsuin Yō Yō) is a Formchange in Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to transform the Keyblade into twin yo-yos and assault the enemy with rapid, swinging attacks.

Design

Twin Yo-Yos transforms the Keyblade into two blue yo-yos bearing the Monsters, Inc. logo and blue strings of light. When swung in combat, the yo-yos project mechanical blades that glow blue.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts III, Twin Yo-Yos is the second Formchange of the Happy Gear Keyblade, associated with Strike Form and following Agile Claws. It has a base duration of 25 seconds and a maximum combo length of 6. Its combos have Sora swing and throw the yo-yos around himself, often flipping around to strike multiple enemies at once and performing yo-yo tricks for finishers. Twin Yo-Yos uses Dual-style Magic.

The Finish command has Sora transform the Keyblade into two sets of teeth that clamp down on the enemy before biting down three times.

Abilities

Alongside the abilities from Strike Form, Twin Yo-Yos has access to Backslide.

Strategy

Twin Yo-Yos is a Formchange ideal in duels and mob fights alike. Its attacks are swift and deal multiple hits, making them ideal to rapidly reduce the Reaction Endurance of bosses. Anchor Shot enables Sora to home in on enemies and return to the fight after a tactical retreat.

As a Strike Form Formchange, it can easily chain Grand Magic into Walk the Dog via Omega Finale. Every usage of Omega Finale acts as a combo reset, so while Grand Magic and Walk the Dog can chain nicely, doing so multiple times in a row is situational unless Combo Boost and Air Combo Boost are not necessary.
