When I was a kid I beat the first Kingdom Hearts 3 times only using the Kingdom key because I didn't know how to swap them, including Sephiroth. I always wondered the game was so hard.
I kinda did the same, since I was playing it in english and I didn't understand it at the time, but I wasn't that good at the game and I only reached Ansem without killing him...
@@Indrariyuh right once you get master form or final form wisdom form is totally useless mainly bc the shoot ability is entirely piss weak compared to when youve got similar if not better mobility in the other forms with the ability to use effective physical attacks while you wait for your MP meter to charge
The kingdom key is one if the most useful weapons in critical mode since it halves damage taken at critical health, which means all thr time since in critical mode your health never increase past a critical state, pair that with the buster band, ribbon and Star charm amd you have one of the best builds for critical mode.
@@heavyrain5949 late as hell but if I were to guess it's because hidden dragon doesn't have defender/damage control on it so you'd die faster with it on
@@Cross-chan I only play lvl1 runs so I went into auto pilot mode lol By the time you have enough HP for it to matter a lvl1 or speedrunner will have other Keyblades to use.
J Alimayu 4 months late but you're wrong. Just because they're both talking about Valor form doesn't mean it's the same thing. Read again. One's about levelling up the other is about combo plus
Same. I know the sleeping pumpkin is technically better but it honestly looks too stupid to use for me. And yes I totally will judge a keyblade on aesthetics
Sleeping Lion with Decisive Pumpkin can put out TONS of damage, as Combo Boost increases ground finisher damage relative to the number of hits in the combo (same way with Air Combo Plus and Air Combo Boost, which Star Seeker and Hero's Crest provide, respectively). So you'll want your combos to be as long as possible if you want that bonus damage!
Just putting some feedback forward here, not trying to sound offensive. But the video is quite long, so you need to summarize your thoughts better with less flaming about the subject. You also used the same words over and over in the same video, which makes this already long video feel even more drawn out than it actually is. And the way you speak is whiny and seems like you are pressing your opinions on the viewer. And the in-between number cards having different music, that makes the flow of the video choppy, and disjointed. The wrong queues in audio and ambience can make viewers lose interest, and combined with your opinionated tone, it gives the video an exclusive and unengaging feel.
PaszerDye no worries about sounding offensive I can take criticism well as long as you aren't being a jerk about. the "flaming" is just my actual voice and I can't help it sometimes. I don't quite understand what you mean by the music though.
JOC217 Thanks for understanding. As for the music, it's about being cohesive. You're talking about a list of things pertaining to a certain criteria, so it's best to have background music that reflects the subject matter and transitions from one track into next track, or maybe even just fade away 1st before starting the next track of music. In particular, KH music would be the default choice. The issue here is that you're using what sounds like rave music as BGM for the sound cards, and that isn't very appropriate for a video that is also supposed to be a discussion. This is what makes the video feel choppy and disjointed to me.
JOC217 no, I don't mean that. Using number cards is a decision you chose to give structure to the video, and that isn't a bad thing. It's actually good. But the music you chose for it is detracting and choppy compared to the parts when you actually talk about the keyblades, which have BGM from the game. When you fight Xemnas at the World that Never Was, you hear Darkness of the Unknown playing in the background. When fighting Sephiroth, it's One Winged Angel. You're talking about a list of things from a video game, and video games are known for having soundtrack that help you concentrate on the gameplay. After you beat them, it transitions to congratulations BGM for beating a boss, then the theme of the world you're in. IMHO, rave music just isn't helpful and doesn't suit the subject matter of your video at all. It would be very distracting if you were fighting Lingering Sentiment and suddenly Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" starts playing. Music and sound design in general should be helpful and conducive to the subject of the video itself, just as VGM in video games help you concentrate.
Yea unfortunately in ALOT of games they make you jump through so many hoops to get a weapon that by the time you actually CAN unlock it you already have better weapons. IMO anything thats going to make the player work that hard better be worth it.
There's a difference between unusable and useless. I agree that many of these keys are unusable due to unlocking difficulty, but that doesn't mean that they are useless.
Hidden Dragon does have one use. Since it's the first keyblade you get after valor form, and you can't swap valor form's keyblade until you get a 3rd, I use it to take Star Seeker off valor form, since I prefer it over Kingdom Key. Then I put Kingdom Key on valor form, and never use Hidden Dragon again.
@@kronoluka Plenty of people actually. Kingdom Key's ability can be a life saver during early game, some prefer it over air combo+. Star Seeker and Kingdom Key have equal stats, so that's no reason to switch. Meaning players may choose to stick with Kingdom Key all the way to Hero's Crest. In this situation people don't use Hidden Dragon for that one purpose. Instead it doesn't get used at all.
Metal Chokobo in the honorable mentions? But why? From the point I got it, I used it almost untill the end. The damage output isn't half bad but the selling point for me was it's amazing reach.
Because you get the Olympia directly after it, which can deal better criticals, doesn't have the reduced mp, and is only 1 str lower (or 1 str higher in kh1fm).
The keyblades that are "hard to obtain" arent on this list because they are hard to obtain. They are on this list because after obtaining the keyblade that you worked so hard to get, you end up getting a better keyblade that is better than it in every way in a shorter amount of time. If you can get a better keyblade in a shorter amount of time then there is no purpose in getting a weaker keyblade through a tedious process unless you are a completionist. Also I am completely aware that alot of people had trouble reading the font. I will change it in future videos.
KingNazaru well this countdown is based on my opinion. however the honorable mention were also based other people's opinions as well. royal radiance was an honorable mention because of you obtain this after beating everyone then it is useless. but if you get it before beating mysterious figure then it is useful
Both of Squall's keyblades, Lionheart and Sleeping Lion, were always my go-to keyblades. They always had the best balance of strength and magic. And seeing as how good abilities and magic are in the games, especially the first one, those keyblades were absolute beasts. So confused why they're both in honorable mentions.
Oh my god that profile pic is the cutest thing I have seen all day. (I woke up an hour ago, but my dog put her head in my lap and looked at me, wanting me to pet her, that was fifteen minutes ago)
if you can get a better keyblade in a shorter amount of time than it would take to get a certain keyblade, then that keyblade that you went through hell to obtain would be useless since it would get outclassed like 30 seconds later
JOC217 As nice as it is to actually see a content creator replying to a comment, I have time and time again used most of these keyblades over ones normally defined as better because I find some of them to actually be better in most situations despite of stats
well kudos to you good viewer.we all play the game differently and this list was just my personal opinion not the law or anything lol. Also yes i do the best i can to reply to my viewers because i know all about certain youtubers never responding.
JOC217 And even if you do get a better keyblade, they still aren't useless as they do have their applications in certain situations, much like I personally found Fenrir for me to not work in most situations due to my personal play style, yet during certain areas I would use it because it had more applications. All of the keyblades in this list could actually be more useful to some than others, despite actually being harder to obtain. Going on pure stats alone isn't enough to define the fact that people have different playstyles when it comes to the KH series
i wasnt going on pure stats alone at least that wasnt my intention. but yes i can agree that we all have our own personal fighting styles and we can find some use out of a keyblade we use. Its just those keyblades on the list i didnt find a use for.
so if being brought to hell with the worst keyblade on the list would make Satan die of laughter like you said? does that mean I can beat Olympus underworld early by equipping it when you're running from invincible hades? lol
I'm surprised that Pixie Petal from BBS isn't on the list. By the time you get it, you're already given your character's main story keyblade (Ex. Terra, Ends of the earth)
I actually used Hidden Dragon when I played KH2. I was running a magic build so the MP Rage was useful to keep my spells going. Edit: Also to add onto useless factor for End of Pain, I got it by complete accident because I was still playing after beating the game.
I never knew about that reputation. I forget if I ever used it, but it's great for if you want Star Seeker as your main. I ended up keeping Kingdom Key as my main until Olympus for my 2.5 run though.
No I ment the ones you make with the ingredients that you can only get from the rare unversed that only appears in certain places for less than a minute, only one time for the entire game for some reason.
It's not that hard. They appear in a few set places. Just have some Magnegas and Thundagas and a ton of ingredients will drop. You only really need at most ten of each, and most of them you can get the ice cream in less than ten of an ingredient. It's probably the easiest sidequest in Birth by Sleep.
Not only do you have to beat Mysterious Figure to get that Keyblade, to truly 100% the game you must beat him 3 TIMES (once with each character) *AND TERRA HAS THE WORST DODGE*. Mysterious Figure is harder than Lingering Will (Terra's Armor) no matter how you argue, mainly because Lingering Will is at least fair, doesn't kill you at the word "go" and has a pattern. If anything else; YOU ONLY HAVE TO FIGHT LINGERING WILL *ONCE*. This one boss is the sole reason why I won't bother 100%ing KHBBSFM. Just go for the Secret Episode on Beginner to save you the hassle, and prepare for KHBBSFP (KH0.2). To unlock Secret Episode (KH0.1) on beginner; Get the Keyslinger in-game Trophy by killing 9999 Unversed, Beat all 3 Characters & Final Episode, and collect and place all Stickers to get a score of 140pts for all 3 character
this guy has accurately described how i felt about the 2 mushroom heartless very accurately, so much so accuratly appears 3 times in this sentence,well done sir
I was actually able to get End of Pain with Riku before the final bosses thanks to the fact that I had been doing the special portals throughout the game so there were only a handful left by the time I got to the World that Never Was. I do agree that some of the portals are ridiculously difficult, but I got around it by spamming flowmotion attacks until nothing else in the screen moved.
I guess I'm just wierd, but I almost always use the default weapons unless I ABSOLUTELY have to change it (Aside from the "upgraded" defaults in BBS). Even in critical, it just looks wierd to me to have anything but the Kingdom Key in Cutscenes and such.
Sometimes I wish that was a joke. I swear, those Avatar stuff is a nightmare... Thankfully, I was well stocked after taking out Bug Roxas multiple times. Still had to do 100 floors though. *dead*
When I first saw the title of the video I thought of Hidden Dragon instantly. Then I saw the list was hard to get keys and thought it wouldn't appear. Then I saw #1.
Now that kingdom hearts 3 is here I'm gonna name gold for the most useless kh3 keyblade: Starlight because it just does kingdom key damage with a slight magic boost. I know you can get it early if you play some phone minigames but when u get it late game it SUCKS
There is a use for hidden Dragon... you can use it to switch your main keyblade to star seeker, which is looked in valor form until you get another keyblade
When those BBS and DDD ones came on the screen i was like: "Shiiiit i have no clue what these are" as i have yet to play those games, or have a ps4 to play the games they are on.
The one in front of Fantasia tower was frustrating though mostly because wisdom form shots would end up missing once in a while. Though wisdom form I'd say is still the best way to go about that one and the twilight mansion one.
I subbed because you knew my pain when having to play Re:Coded and doing the 13 trials. I was unprepared the first time, died halfway the second, and finally beat Roxas' cocaine fueled later ego after 24 attempts. I still hated that bosses damage, health, and that it changed speed with its stoplight forms.
Top ten 10 BEST keyblades,also it's my first time on your channel and I wonder why you don't have waaay more subs,this is a really good channel in my opinion
Yeah I wish at the end of the game they gave you like a kingdom key + (or a way to the dawn + for Riku) which was better than the last key blade the story gave you and had a decent effect, but not as good as the optional key blades (like the ultima keyblade etc) cause I like how the weapons look in the cutscenes
Well I think there's wont be that many useless keyblades in KH3 cause I herd that the base power of your keyblade depends on your level since they don't have individual stats. But they will each have special abilities and transformations unique to each, Like the Olympus Coliseum ones transformation is that it turns into a flying chariot pulled by a pegasus and it rains down lighting. I'm sure they will also buff or debuff your Strength and Magic scores but it's so if you wanted you could go through the full game just by using the Kingdom Key if you want.
Dreamer Dawn funny thing as the Hercules key blade in kh3 was the worst in my opinion. nice ideas though. each key blade is cool and useful and upgradable yes.
well yeah... mysterious figure is young xehanort (cause in Riku's 2nd last final boss in KH DDD, Young Xehanort use the same combo style when use "Time Stop" if I hear it correctly) and his keblade is No Name with a bit diffrent color
It seems like This video is still getting more traffic than everything else. I have released a new countdown with improvements on video mechanics. Yes that includes the font.. So if you are just barely watching this video now and there is something about this video you dont like such as the font or how long something is. watch my newest countdown before you comment. Here is my newest countdown. I hope you all enjoy. ruclips.net/video/J1zlc39KKsk/видео.html
Won't lie, when I played KH2 when I was a kid, didn't care about reading or the stuff in game, but just wanted something fun, never used hidden dragon, now playing 2.5 HD ReMix on PS4, never used it. I'm a strength guy and even I find that to be WORSE than the Kingdom Key, and the Kingdom Key is actually OP if you really think about it. Halving damage when low, that's greatly needed, hidden dragon? MP rage is useless early... But anyways thanks for the Vid JOC217, also I was gonna ask something stupid about BBS cause I never played it, but I'll figure it out on my own. Later man.
You know... When I play as Terra, Ven's D-Link is my favorite. It's fast, it's powerful, it comes with a healing spell, all that good stuff. But one thing I always wondered is why the HELL did Terra just fly off into the stratosphere everytime he uses the finishing move. And I literally used the word "stratosphere" when I'd think this or even when I said it out loud. Little did I know that that's ACTUALLY what it's called on Ven's side...
The problem with sweetstack is that it has the lowest Critical modifier in compared to Ven's Lost Memory's, it has a modifier of 1.2 vs Lost Memory's 1.5 with Lost Memory having a 75% chance of landing Critical hits, so unless you've got horrible luck Lost Memory will likely be dealing more damage overall.
sleeping lion gets outclassed by decisive pumpkin since it is the strongest ground based keyblade in the game and royal radiance can be useless if obtained after beating mysterious figure and vanitas lingering spirit.
idk much about the royal radiance keyblade since i dont play bbs as much to even remember it, but as for sleeping lion, the strength is 5 n the magic is 3 n the ability on it is combo plus, which gives u an extra ground attack move. by the time u got that keyblade u already got that candy cane keyblade, decisive pumpkin where it has 1 extra strength n has the combo boost ability where u deal extra ground damage. stat wise n in my personal opinion, i would want to do more damage than just have an extra attack, even though decisive pumpkin decrease my magic by 2
ive found that the hidden dragon actually has two moderatly useful uses. use number one is to swap the kingdom key with the star seeker in valor so you can get the air combo plus added to your default. use two is that since it has lower strength, using it with valor form can be helpful with leveling it up since less strength means more hits
I don't get Metal Chocobo it's good if you're more of a bruiser type player I've always enjoyed Lionheart and sleeping lion at least for a while and Pixie petal is good on aqua, only because of how good her magic already is. it's really bad on the other 2 though. One winged angel: The extra boost to MP comes in handy against phantom, but aside from that yeah i can see why its kinda bad. Isn't royal radiance suppose to be like THE ultimate keyblade in BBS? Or is it only useless because of how late you get it? And so far it seems like most of the keyblades on this list are only bad due to poor timing on when you get it rather then the keyblade itself actually being bad.
MasakanSolaris metal chocobo was a mention because yoy get Olympia at pretty much the same time and Olympia is better. lion heart gets really outclassed by divine rose. one winged angel decreases your mp by 2, rial radiance was a mention due to how late you get it, and yes most of these keyblades made this list due to terrible timing, a keyblade can be excellent in battle but be worthless if you pretty much killed everything already or are gonna get a better keyblade very soon anyway
For Lionheart I use this Keyblade a lot especially in the original version where Divine Rose wasn't buff, also it's a strong physical and magical keyblade and gives adittionnal MP which is nice for using Wind and Heal and for summon also her range was good to so it was a well balance keyblade overall.
You never used them properly or for when they were useful to progress such as chocobo, debugger, and ROYAL RADIANCE.... only better than ultima in every way....
Jack Mcdig chocobo gets outclassed by Olympia which you get at pretty much the same time as chocobo, to progress with the story yoy don't need debugger all that much, and royal radiance is only useless when you obtain it after beating MF and VLS. at that point you killed everything which means that having the keyblade is pointless other than to simply fight the bosses again. if you get it before beating them then yes it is handy. all 3 of the keyblades you mentioned have some use to them which why they are honorable mention and not on the actual list
Jack Mcdig in the final mix version Olympia is stronger than chocobo. and if that is not enough, chocobo decreases mp by 1 where Olympia does not. having that 1 extra mp bar can make a huge difference in the game trust me. also even though it had 1 str point higher than Olympia in the original kh1, Olympia lands critical hits 10x more often than chocobo and whenever you block an attack with Olympia you won't be staggered like you would be with chocobo. as for Royal radiance if you can beat no heart to obtain then you don't need any help defeating normal unversed. if you wanna kill them just use mega flare. it help alot :)
a keyblade that can knockdown a boss's health bar in 4 hits doesn't sound that useless to me. I guess it depends on the situation of the battle but then again I've never acquired that keyblade so I can be completely wrong.
TDLBallistic how dare you... not pay attention to the video because I NEVER said that kingdom key is useless. actually watch the video before starting shit.
JOC217 I did watch the video. I was commenting on the thumbnail. And my comment wasn't at all serious, friend. Read the tone. It was in jest. Starting shit was never my intention.
TDLBallistic whenever someone says "keyblade" Kingdom Key is the first keyblade that comes to someone's mind because it is very iconic in the series which is why I put in the thumbnail. and the mickey mouse hands represent the useless part. just because it is in the thumbnail does NOT mean I consider it useless as I have said in the video. if starting shit wasn't your intention then I apologize for the misunderstanding. however you might wanna be careful with choosing your words if you go to other channels. they might not be so forgiving and will just straight up report you which may cause your channel to be taken down. I'm not one of those people but just a little heads up.
JOC217 Sweetheart, I've been on RUclips for a good 12 years. I know how this stuff works... I know how people act. I thank you for your warning, but it's unnecessary. And I'm sorry again if my first comment came as standoffish or trying to start something c: I know it's hard to read tone and intention with only text alone, especially considering there's no option to italicize or bold text... that I know of.
I'm confused why the metal chokobo was in the honorable mentions. I remember in the original kingdom hearts it worked really nicely for me since it boosted your strength and also had a really good range. Really useful with the right equipment for a strength run
Actually the Kingdom Key is one of the most useful in KH2. It has an effect called damage control which halves all damage. I used it through most of the game on critical mode.
I've completed all Kingdom Hearts games using Kingdom Key :D Hard at first when playing on the hardest difficulty but it becomes easy once you level up (obviously)
I honestly found a few uses for Hidden Dragon. When I was doing my level 1 run there were a couple times when I was using Hero's Crest, and I actually needed the +2 in magic, and knowing that I couldn't pull off no damage in the fight, MP Rage came in handy. So yeah, even Hidden Dragon can have its uses. Same goes for Monochrome.
I like how a majority of the honorable mentions are just 'useless' on the surface level. In other words, not so much "useless", but "extremely situational"
For all the better Keyblades out there, I look at design more so than actual stats, and Sleeping Lion has a GREAT Design. I can just see Sora in Master Form wielding Sleeping Lion in his Right Hand and Fenrir in his Left. Sora obtains Master Form from Micky, a Master Fighter; he obtains Sleeping Lion and Fenrir after interacting with Squall Leonhart and Cloud Strife respectively; and seeing this combination together looks awesome and badass because you honor three great friends are who great fighters!!
Well I'm glad you can bypass stats if looks are good enough, because sleeping lion is the worst keyblade on master form, given that it's combos automatically take you into the air. In addition, having a keyblade that increases combos (SL) with a keyblade that decreases combos (fenrir) is pretty impractical. Still, if you like how it looks, you do you.
A side note on End Of Pain: you may not want to complete the Special Portals for the Keyblade, but rather for the dream pieces that they give you for free when you complete them regardless of whether or not you have completed the extra challenge. Those dream pieces (e. g. Epic Fantasy) are ESSENTIAL for making high rank Dream Eaters (and very powerful ones), which can be helpful on the rest of the boss fights. And also on the Flick Rush cups.
I actually liked the Hidden Dragon. I thought it was useful in the first visit to Port Royal if you combine it with wisdom form. I recently did a low level run and I’m primarily a magic user when it comes to the KH series

By the time you have enough HP for it to matter a lvl1 or speedrunner will have other Keyblades to use.
Number 1:
The land of dragons keyblade you get in KH2.
Also another use, being able to use Star Seeker as your main Keyblade.
And another use, its weakshi*t attack allow valor level increase early game.
J Alimayu 4 months late but you're wrong. Just because they're both talking about Valor form doesn't mean it's the same thing. Read again. One's about levelling up the other is about combo plus
it helped me for some reason in my KH2 run ..
u need it in the land of dragons for destroying the tents if ure using fire and especilly if u run out of hp
I actually liked Sleeping Lion. It has balanced stats, a decent ability, and I use it at least until I acquire Oblivion.
Same. I know the sleeping pumpkin is technically better but it honestly looks too stupid to use for me. And yes I totally will judge a keyblade on aesthetics
Sleeping Lion with Decisive Pumpkin can put out TONS of damage, as Combo Boost increases ground finisher damage relative to the number of hits in the combo (same way with Air Combo Plus and Air Combo Boost, which Star Seeker and Hero's Crest provide, respectively). So you'll want your combos to be as long as possible if you want that bonus damage!
Just putting some feedback forward here, not trying to sound offensive. But the video is quite long, so you need to summarize your thoughts better with less flaming about the subject. You also used the same words over and over in the same video, which makes this already long video feel even more drawn out than it actually is. And the way you speak is whiny and seems like you are pressing your opinions on the viewer. And the in-between number cards having different music, that makes the flow of the video choppy, and disjointed. The wrong queues in audio and ambience can make viewers lose interest, and combined with your opinionated tone, it gives the video an exclusive and unengaging feel.
PaszerDye no worries about sounding offensive I can take criticism well as long as you aren't being a jerk about. the "flaming" is just my actual voice and I can't help it sometimes. I don't quite understand what you mean by the music though.
JOC217
Thanks for understanding.
As for the music, it's about being cohesive. You're talking about a list of things pertaining to a certain criteria, so it's best to have background music that reflects the subject matter and transitions from one track into next track, or maybe even just fade away 1st before starting the next track of music. In particular, KH music would be the default choice. The issue here is that you're using what sounds like rave music as BGM for the sound cards, and that isn't very appropriate for a video that is also supposed to be a discussion. This is what makes the video feel choppy and disjointed to me.
so what your suggesting is i shouldnt have parts in between at all and just show them all back to back?
JOC217
no, I don't mean that. Using number cards is a decision you chose to give structure to the video, and that isn't a bad thing. It's actually good. But the music you chose for it is detracting and choppy compared to the parts when you actually talk about the keyblades, which have BGM from the game.
When you fight Xemnas at the World that Never Was, you hear Darkness of the Unknown playing in the background. When fighting Sephiroth, it's One Winged Angel. You're talking about a list of things from a video game, and video games are known for having soundtrack that help you concentrate on the gameplay. After you beat them, it transitions to congratulations BGM for beating a boss, then the theme of the world you're in.
IMHO, rave music just isn't helpful and doesn't suit the subject matter of your video at all. It would be very distracting if you were fighting Lingering Sentiment and suddenly Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" starts playing. Music and sound design in general should be helpful and conducive to the subject of the video itself, just as VGM in video games help you concentrate.
PaszerDye ok I'll keep that in mind for future countdowns thank you for your feedback
I used the Hidden Dragon when I was doing my total magic run.
Ya hidden dragon is useful if your doing a magic only playthrough. MP Rage can be a godsend at some points.
Recoded really makes you go through the 12 layers of hell to not only beat but to get the ultima weapon
so this is more a list of tediousness and worthlessness
Thats pretty much what useless means. Worthless
Yea unfortunately in ALOT of games they make you jump through so many hoops to get a weapon that by the time you actually CAN unlock it you already have better weapons. IMO anything thats going to make the player work that hard better be worth it.
There's a difference between unusable and useless. I agree that many of these keys are unusable due to unlocking difficulty, but that doesn't mean that they are useless.
Hidden Dragon does have one use. Since it's the first keyblade you get after valor form, and you can't swap valor form's keyblade until you get a 3rd, I use it to take Star Seeker off valor form, since I prefer it over Kingdom Key. Then I put Kingdom Key on valor form, and never use Hidden Dragon again.
Who HASN'T used it for that one purpose?
That's what I did in everytime I beat this game XD
@@kronoluka Plenty of people actually. Kingdom Key's ability can be a life saver during early game, some prefer it over air combo+. Star Seeker and Kingdom Key have equal stats, so that's no reason to switch. Meaning players may choose to stick with Kingdom Key all the way to Hero's Crest. In this situation people don't use Hidden Dragon for that one purpose. Instead it doesn't get used at all.
@@AutisticWayOfLife that’s what I did
Metal Chokobo in the honorable mentions? But why? From the point I got it, I used it almost untill the end. The damage output isn't half bad but the selling point for me was it's amazing reach.
James Bernadette also it looks cool
It's high atk stat is offset by other horrible stats, I always prefered the lionheart over it.
@@MechReaperofKhaos Which was also in the honourable mentions lol
Because you get the Olympia directly after it, which can deal better criticals, doesn't have the reduced mp, and is only 1 str lower (or 1 str higher in kh1fm).
@@Notius True, but Olympias reach is god awful
The keyblades that are "hard to obtain" arent on this list because they are hard to obtain. They are on this list because after obtaining the keyblade that you worked so hard to get, you end up getting a better keyblade that is better than it in every way in a shorter amount of time. If you can get a better keyblade in a shorter amount of time then there is no purpose in getting a weaker keyblade through a tedious process unless you are a completionist. Also I am completely aware that alot of people had trouble reading the font. I will change it in future videos.
Thats a pretty good reason
JOC217 why's sleeping lion on there?
JOC217 most strongest keyblades
Jeremy Huston because it get outclassed by decisive pumpkin which is the strongest ground based keyblade in the game
JOC217 I get that but in any case you should know that it's one of the best in game no offense to your opinion
They Named the keyblade end of pain for a reason,
Because its the end of suffering once you get the keyblade
AMEN!
Were the honorable mentions useless in your eyes? Because Royal Radience is the best keyblade in BBS.
KingNazaru well this countdown is based on my opinion. however the honorable mention were also based other people's opinions as well. royal radiance was an honorable mention because of you obtain this after beating everyone then it is useless. but if you get it before beating mysterious figure then it is useful
i get hidden dragon as soon as i can so i can switch out star seeker as my normal keyblade, and put the kingdom key on valor form
i think everybody did that. which proves my point of it being useless
Am I one of the Few people that actually uses Hidden Dragon for a whole world and not care about it's strength?
Electric Duo you're the only one
AntiHeroSora well honestly i don"t care for strength until i fight the major bosses which for me don't show up until Siax. (Because i hate him)
Hidden Dragon boost Fire Magic and Magic Stats by 2. It's useful in the early words but later on it becomes useless
Both of Squall's keyblades, Lionheart and Sleeping Lion, were always my go-to keyblades. They always had the best balance of strength and magic. And seeing as how good abilities and magic are in the games, especially the first one, those keyblades were absolute beasts. So confused why they're both in honorable mentions.
When the best function for a keyblade is the fact you can use it to swap your first and second keyblades, you know you screwed up
You have a crush on aqua, dont you?
of course.
zart zart I mean, who doesn't? She even makes me question my sexuality.
Wanna know a secret?
Aqua's tits are fake.
nope
Choice Snarf ಠ_ಠ She’s like 16. Maybe if Tifa’s boobs looked like they did in FF that would be a fair accusation.
Hence the name End of Pain
Darren Karzak I was gonna say
Right lol
Darren Karzak What is the problem about End of Pain Keyblade?
Oh my god that profile pic is the cutest thing I have seen all day. (I woke up an hour ago, but my dog put her head in my lap and looked at me, wanting me to pet her, that was fifteen minutes ago)
Theinsanegamer10 What mine?
Says it's a top ten most useless keyblades
Most are useful, but just hard to obtain
Like
Really dude?
if you can get a better keyblade in a shorter amount of time than it would take to get a certain keyblade, then that keyblade that you went through hell to obtain would be useless since it would get outclassed like 30 seconds later
JOC217 As nice as it is to actually see a content creator replying to a comment, I have time and time again used most of these keyblades over ones normally defined as better because I find some of them to actually be better in most situations despite of stats
well kudos to you good viewer.we all play the game differently and this list was just my personal opinion not the law or anything lol. Also yes i do the best i can to reply to my viewers because i know all about certain youtubers never responding.
JOC217 And even if you do get a better keyblade, they still aren't useless as they do have their applications in certain situations, much like I personally found Fenrir for me to not work in most situations due to my personal play style, yet during certain areas I would use it because it had more applications. All of the keyblades in this list could actually be more useful to some than others, despite actually being harder to obtain. Going on pure stats alone isn't enough to define the fact that people have different playstyles when it comes to the KH series
i wasnt going on pure stats alone at least that wasnt my intention. but yes i can agree that we all have our own personal fighting styles and we can find some use out of a keyblade we use. Its just those keyblades on the list i didnt find a use for.
that font is hard to read..........
i will fix that in future videos
Am I, really, the only one to get that ''end of pain'' is a joke weapon made to troll completionists. It literally is named ''end of pain''
hidden dragon's only use is the fact that u get it which allows u to switch in starseeker lol
so if being brought to hell with the worst keyblade on the list would make Satan die of laughter like you said? does that mean I can beat Olympus underworld early by equipping it when you're running from invincible hades? lol
Lmao ok that was good. well played.
So would equipping the Pinocchio Keybladeb in KH1 have the same effect on Chernabog?
I used Hidden Dragon to level up Wisdom Form early, therefore it's not the most useless keyblade.
I'm surprised that Pixie Petal from BBS isn't on the list. By the time you get it, you're already given your character's main story keyblade (Ex. Terra, Ends of the earth)
I actually used Hidden Dragon when I played KH2. I was running a magic build so the MP Rage was useful to keep my spells going.
Edit: Also to add onto useless factor for End of Pain, I got it by complete accident because I was still playing after beating the game.
land of dragon keyblade
James Riemer totally agree
Flametongue is pretty garbage. Even in FF games proper it's garbage
James Riemer it's good, you don't know how to use it
I never knew about that reputation. I forget if I ever used it, but it's great for if you want Star Seeker as your main.
I ended up keeping Kingdom Key as my main until Olympus for my 2.5 run though.
I keep Kingdom key as my main until I get Oathkeeper :/
who the fuck actually managed to make any of the Ice creams
Anonymous not me lol
No I ment the ones you make with the ingredients that you can only get from the rare unversed that only appears in certain places for less than a minute, only one time for the entire game for some reason.
It's not that hard. They appear in a few set places. Just have some Magnegas and Thundagas and a ton of ingredients will drop. You only really need at most ten of each, and most of them you can get the ice cream in less than ten of an ingredient. It's probably the easiest sidequest in Birth by Sleep.
It's worth it to be able to go into rhythm mixer at will.
i did just case not to get a key blade but case it was thare
u wasn't joking about the end of pain keyblade it took me over 20 hours to obtain. keep up the good work
lucas cox He Spent Over 10 Hours and YOU TAKE OVER 20 HOURS??? How Unlucky Are You.... 😲😲😲
@@lazuardialdi2646 tell me about it
lucas cox i'm Sorry About your unluckyness
lucas cox and Yes The Special portal that appears is Random (Really? Random???? That Pisses Our Patience!!)
I love and will defend Birth by sleep. But Mysterious figure is THE reason I prefer KH2. I know it's technically optional but JESUS CHRIST
Imo beating super bosses for keyblades is both cool and dumb since that likely means theres one keyblade you will never use.
19:32-20:00 Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Somersault
it gives you invincibility frames, it it is really op, and overused, making your comment true beyond belief
Okay I wanna ask about Metal Chocobo being on the Honorable Mentions list. It helped me loads when I was in Hallow Bastion and Worlds End.
metal chocobo was on the honorable mentions list because it gets outclassed by olympia which you get at pretty much the same time.
Still, you can't really call it useless
well we all have our opinions
Classic, It was Useless For me Olympia just did what it was supposed to do better.
I beat the game LONG before I got metal chocobo. I actually forgot it existed for a while, truth be told.
Not only do you have to beat Mysterious Figure to get that Keyblade, to truly 100% the game you must beat him 3 TIMES (once with each character) *AND TERRA HAS THE WORST DODGE*.
Mysterious Figure is harder than Lingering Will (Terra's Armor) no matter how you argue, mainly because Lingering Will is at least fair, doesn't kill you at the word "go" and has a pattern. If anything else; YOU ONLY HAVE TO FIGHT LINGERING WILL *ONCE*.
This one boss is the sole reason why I won't bother 100%ing KHBBSFM. Just go for the Secret Episode on Beginner to save you the hassle, and prepare for KHBBSFP (KH0.2).
To unlock Secret Episode (KH0.1) on beginner; Get the Keyslinger in-game Trophy by killing 9999 Unversed, Beat all 3 Characters & Final Episode, and collect and place all Stickers to get a score of 140pts for all 3 character
this is more of a Hardest ways to get Keyblades than Most useless Keyblades. The only useless Keyblade on this list is The Hidden Dragon
this guy has accurately described how i felt about the 2 mushroom heartless very accurately, so much so accuratly appears 3 times in this sentence,well done sir
I was actually able to get End of Pain with Riku before the final bosses thanks to the fact that I had been doing the special portals throughout the game so there were only a handful left by the time I got to the World that Never Was.
I do agree that some of the portals are ridiculously difficult, but I got around it by spamming flowmotion attacks until nothing else in the screen moved.
Galaxian EX kudos to you. For me everytime I played the game, everytime I dropped the same portals popped up...
I guess I'm just wierd, but I almost always use the default weapons unless I ABSOLUTELY have to change it (Aside from the "upgraded" defaults in BBS). Even in critical, it just looks wierd to me to have anything but the Kingdom Key in Cutscenes and such.
superkhfreak well we all have our tastes. I'm not gonna lie I have done that too
I wish I had the patience to do that. The kingdom keys are my favorite keyblades :(
Same!
honorable mentions on a top 10 useless list more like dishonorable mentions
Love the End of Pain keyblade. Got that one a few days ago with both characters
I love your video and have to admit I didn't know some of these existed. Great job putting all the KH clips in there!
How ironic that after that long explanation that the keyblade is called "end of pain"
MJ Tickle you mean "fitting".
That feeling when you actually manage to complete Re:Coded...
best feeling ever lol
Sometimes I wish that was a joke. I swear, those Avatar stuff is a nightmare... Thankfully, I was well stocked after taking out Bug Roxas multiple times. Still had to do 100 floors though. *dead*
Wait, we talking both D-Blizzaga and D-Firaga?
Holy shit.
It's impossible to get all the trophies nowadays isn't it? I wish I knew about that avatar stuff back in the day
When I first saw the title of the video I thought of Hidden Dragon instantly. Then I saw the list was hard to get keys and thought it wouldn't appear. Then I saw #1.
Now that kingdom hearts 3 is here I'm gonna name gold for the most useless kh3 keyblade: Starlight because it just does kingdom key damage with a slight magic boost. I know you can get it early if you play some phone minigames but when u get it late game it SUCKS
There is a use for hidden Dragon... you can use it to switch your main keyblade to star seeker, which is looked in valor form until you get another keyblade
I feel like you deserve more subscribers so I subbed!
Andrew Ryan Florencio Villavera thank you! !
When those BBS and DDD ones came on the screen i was like: "Shiiiit i have no clue what these are" as i have yet to play those games, or have a ps4 to play the games they are on.
The intro....gave me the nostalgic feels....man I love that game...... Also
AzurFenix I'm glad you enjoyed it. everyone else hated it
They just haters., someday they might appreciate it.
The one in front of Fantasia tower was frustrating though mostly because wisdom form shots would end up missing once in a while. Though wisdom form I'd say is still the best way to go about that one and the twilight mansion one.
I subbed because you knew my pain when having to play Re:Coded and doing the 13 trials. I was unprepared the first time, died halfway the second, and finally beat Roxas' cocaine fueled later ego after 24 attempts. I still hated that bosses damage, health, and that it changed speed with its stoplight forms.
Top ten 10 BEST keyblades,also it's my first time on your channel and I wonder why you don't have waaay more subs,this is a really good channel in my opinion
Thabk you very much i really appreciate that! :)
I love kingdom Key the most regardless of its stats
Yeah I wish at the end of the game they gave you like a kingdom key + (or a way to the dawn + for Riku) which was better than the last key blade the story gave you and had a decent effect, but not as good as the optional key blades (like the ultima keyblade etc) cause I like how the weapons look in the cutscenes
h3llmag3 Me too. I always wanted to use the Kingdom Key.
h3llmag3 I always use Kingdom Key no matter how annoying it gets.
FBoiV Do you think you can beat Lingering Will using Kingdom Key?
I will run through the KH series with the default Keyblade, its about the ability you have, not the keyblade you use
I got the Unbound and it was worth it!
to use against what?
Hard to stay interested in the vid when THE JAM IN THE BACKGROUND IS SO GOOD.
Also, you know how Chaos Ripper and Darkgnaw look the same.
Is there a way to play Kingdom Hearts 2 on ps4??? ;o; I really miss that game man. Havent played it since ps2 times.
LambertAMVs there is a kh hd remastered for it soon this year
currently, no.
however in March, 1.5 and 2.5 are coming to the 4 with 60FPS upgrades
in a single bundle
Now a limited edition PS4 pro w all kh 3 and the teamsters !!!
Well I think there's wont be that many useless keyblades in KH3 cause I herd that the base power of your keyblade depends on your level since they don't have individual stats. But they will each have special abilities and transformations unique to each, Like the Olympus Coliseum ones transformation is that it turns into a flying chariot pulled by a pegasus and it rains down lighting. I'm sure they will also buff or debuff your Strength and Magic scores but it's so if you wanted you could go through the full game just by using the Kingdom Key if you want.
Dreamer Dawn funny thing as the Hercules key blade in kh3 was the worst in my opinion. nice ideas though. each key blade is cool and useful and upgradable yes.
has anyone else noticed that Young Xehanort weilds No Name? I have been.thinking the Mysterious Figure is Young Xehanort.
Nathan Case my mind is blown.
so was mine when I can to that realization.
well yeah... mysterious figure is young xehanort (cause in Riku's 2nd last final boss in KH DDD, Young Xehanort use the same combo style when use "Time Stop" if I hear it correctly) and his keblade is No Name with a bit diffrent color
That's pretty obvious.
Young Xehanort's music is also a remix of the Mysterious Figure theme... it's not like they were trying to hide this.
TenchiHawkwing well before Dream Drop Distance nobody knew who the Mysterious Figure was.
I swear, I'm getting some DarkKefka vibes watching this video, I don't mind at all though. Great video by the way!
RedCell114 me and him are friends so that's probably why. and thank you!
now I know why they call it end of pain
It seems like This video is still getting more traffic than everything else. I have released a new countdown with improvements on video mechanics. Yes that includes the font.. So if you are just barely watching this video now and there is something about this video you dont like such as the font or how long something is. watch my newest countdown before you comment. Here is my newest countdown. I hope you all enjoy. ruclips.net/video/J1zlc39KKsk/видео.html
Won't lie, when I played KH2 when I was a kid, didn't care about reading or the stuff in game, but just wanted something fun, never used hidden dragon, now playing 2.5 HD ReMix on PS4, never used it. I'm a strength guy and even I find that to be WORSE than the Kingdom Key, and the Kingdom Key is actually OP if you really think about it. Halving damage when low, that's greatly needed, hidden dragon? MP rage is useless early... But anyways thanks for the Vid JOC217, also I was gonna ask something stupid about BBS cause I never played it, but I'll figure it out on my own. Later man.
Noah Mascarenad Is it bad I read this reply message 6 minutes after it was sent?
Noah Mascarenad dude did you even read the comment? That issue has been fixed in my future videos.
Unbound is good
it took me weeks to get end of pain, and it didn't even end my pain
Tbh when i saw the title of the video before i even clicked on it i thought hidden dragon. Kingdom key is better lol
You know... When I play as Terra, Ven's D-Link is my favorite. It's fast, it's powerful, it comes with a healing spell, all that good stuff. But one thing I always wondered is why the HELL did Terra just fly off into the stratosphere everytime he uses the finishing move. And I literally used the word "stratosphere" when I'd think this or even when I said it out loud. Little did I know that that's ACTUALLY what it's called on Ven's side...
The problem with sweetstack is that it has the lowest Critical modifier in compared to Ven's Lost Memory's, it has a modifier of 1.2 vs Lost Memory's 1.5 with Lost Memory having a 75% chance of landing Critical hits, so unless you've got horrible luck Lost Memory will likely be dealing more damage overall.
Why sleeping lion and royal radiance
sleeping lion gets outclassed by decisive pumpkin since it is the strongest ground based keyblade in the game and royal radiance can be useless if obtained after beating mysterious figure and vanitas lingering spirit.
idk much about the royal radiance keyblade since i dont play bbs as much to even remember it, but as for sleeping lion, the strength is 5 n the magic is 3 n the ability on it is combo plus, which gives u an extra ground attack move. by the time u got that keyblade u already got that candy cane keyblade, decisive pumpkin where it has 1 extra strength n has the combo boost ability where u deal extra ground damage. stat wise n in my personal opinion, i would want to do more damage than just have an extra attack, even though decisive pumpkin decrease my magic by 2
Why was Olympia an honorable mention. It was a very good Keyblade.
May have been that specific game? Like it got nerfed compared to the one in kh1?
@@jlogan2228 I was talking about Re:Coded Olympia
i shoudl really get used to magic in KH, i'm more of the melee player
yeah it helps out
no magic lvl.1 critical mode would be hell
So ghatglad I stumbled upon you dude, hilarious and you rock
Cordero Rosalez thank you :)
ive found that the hidden dragon actually has two moderatly useful uses. use number one is to swap the kingdom key with the star seeker in valor so you can get the air combo plus added to your default. use two is that since it has lower strength, using it with valor form can be helpful with leveling it up since less strength means more hits
end of pain is worth it
I don't get Metal Chocobo it's good if you're more of a bruiser type player
I've always enjoyed Lionheart and sleeping lion at least for a while
and Pixie petal is good on aqua, only because of how good her magic already is. it's really bad on the other 2 though.
One winged angel: The extra boost to MP comes in handy against phantom, but aside from that yeah i can see why its kinda bad.
Isn't royal radiance suppose to be like THE ultimate keyblade in BBS? Or is it only useless because of how late you get it?
And so far it seems like most of the keyblades on this list are only bad due to poor timing on when you get it rather then the keyblade itself actually being bad.
MasakanSolaris metal chocobo was a mention because yoy get Olympia at pretty much the same time and Olympia is better. lion heart gets really outclassed by divine rose. one winged angel decreases your mp by 2, rial radiance was a mention due to how late you get it, and yes most of these keyblades made this list due to terrible timing, a keyblade can be excellent in battle but be worthless if you pretty much killed everything already or are gonna get a better keyblade very soon anyway
For Lionheart I use this Keyblade a lot especially in the original version where Divine Rose wasn't buff, also it's a strong physical and magical keyblade and gives adittionnal MP which is nice for using Wind and Heal and for summon also her range was good to so it was a well balance keyblade overall.
Nesouk Kefka I agree which is why I didn't put it on the official list.
MasakanSolaris its depends which 🔑 blade is suited 4 u really
by the time you have beaten sepheroph you will probably have beaten phantom or have gotten the ultima weapon which renders it useless
You never used them properly or for when they were useful to progress such as chocobo, debugger, and ROYAL RADIANCE.... only better than ultima in every way....
Jack Mcdig chocobo gets outclassed by Olympia which you get at pretty much the same time as chocobo, to progress with the story yoy don't need debugger all that much, and royal radiance is only useless when you obtain it after beating MF and VLS. at that point you killed everything which means that having the keyblade is pointless other than to simply fight the bosses again. if you get it before beating them then yes it is handy. all 3 of the keyblades you mentioned have some use to them which why they are honorable mention and not on the actual list
JOC217 Yes I watched the video.
JOC217 Royal radiance helps defeat unversed so that you can get any extras you may need.
JOC217 Chocobo was the strongest at the time you get it, and is needed for cloud.
Jack Mcdig in the final mix version Olympia is stronger than chocobo. and if that is not enough, chocobo decreases mp by 1 where Olympia does not. having that 1 extra mp bar can make a huge difference in the game trust me. also even though it had 1 str point higher than Olympia in the original kh1, Olympia lands critical hits 10x more often than chocobo and whenever you block an attack with Olympia you won't be staggered like you would be with chocobo. as for Royal radiance if you can beat no heart to obtain then you don't need any help defeating normal unversed. if you wanna kill them just use mega flare. it help alot :)
a keyblade that can knockdown a boss's health bar in 4 hits doesn't sound that useless to me.
I guess it depends on the situation of the battle but then again I've never acquired that keyblade so I can be completely wrong.
The photon debugger one of the best keyblades in kh2
Hidden Dragon has uses!

When you’re switching off Kingdom Key to Star Seeker...
How dare you... list the Kingdom Key as useless... tell that to your deadass playing crit. lv 1 mode.
TDLBallistic how dare you... not pay attention to the video because I NEVER said that kingdom key is useless. actually watch the video before starting shit.
JOC217 I did watch the video. I was commenting on the thumbnail. And my comment wasn't at all serious, friend. Read the tone. It was in jest. Starting shit was never my intention.
TDLBallistic whenever someone says "keyblade" Kingdom Key is the first keyblade that comes to someone's mind because it is very iconic in the series which is why I put in the thumbnail. and the mickey mouse hands represent the useless part. just because it is in the thumbnail does NOT mean I consider it useless as I have said in the video. if starting shit wasn't your intention then I apologize for the misunderstanding. however you might wanna be careful with choosing your words if you go to other channels. they might not be so forgiving and will just straight up report you which may cause your channel to be taken down. I'm not one of those people but just a little heads up.
JOC217 Sweetheart, I've been on RUclips for a good 12 years. I know how this stuff works... I know how people act. I thank you for your warning, but it's unnecessary. And I'm sorry again if my first comment came as standoffish or trying to start something c:
I know it's hard to read tone and intention with only text alone, especially considering there's no option to italicize or bold text... that I know of.
TDLBallistic it's ok just looking for my viewers because that's the way I am
I'm confused why the metal chokobo was in the honorable mentions. I remember in the original kingdom hearts it worked really nicely for me since it boosted your strength and also had a really good range. Really useful with the right equipment for a strength run
Actually the Kingdom Key is one of the most useful in KH2. It has an effect called damage control which halves all damage. I used it through most of the game on critical mode.
I've completed all Kingdom Hearts games using Kingdom Key :D
Hard at first when playing on the hardest difficulty but it becomes easy once you level up (obviously)
I honestly found a few uses for Hidden Dragon. When I was doing my level 1 run there were a couple times when I was using Hero's Crest, and I actually needed the +2 in magic, and knowing that I couldn't pull off no damage in the fight, MP Rage came in handy.
So yeah, even Hidden Dragon can have its uses. Same goes for Monochrome.
I like how a majority of the honorable mentions are just 'useless' on the surface level. In other words, not so much "useless", but "extremely situational"
For all the better Keyblades out there, I look at design more so than actual stats, and Sleeping Lion has a GREAT Design.
I can just see Sora in Master Form wielding Sleeping Lion in his Right Hand and Fenrir in his Left. Sora obtains Master Form from Micky, a Master Fighter; he obtains Sleeping Lion and Fenrir after interacting with Squall Leonhart and Cloud Strife respectively; and seeing this combination together looks awesome and badass because you honor three great friends are who great fighters!!
Well I'm glad you can bypass stats if looks are good enough, because sleeping lion is the worst keyblade on master form, given that it's combos automatically take you into the air.
In addition, having a keyblade that increases combos (SL) with a keyblade that decreases combos (fenrir) is pretty impractical. Still, if you like how it looks, you do you.
you get fenrir from beating Sepitroth technically
A side note on End Of Pain: you may not want to complete the Special Portals for the Keyblade, but rather for the dream pieces that they give you for free when you complete them regardless of whether or not you have completed the extra challenge. Those dream pieces (e. g. Epic Fantasy) are ESSENTIAL for making high rank Dream Eaters (and very powerful ones), which can be helpful on the rest of the boss fights. And also on the Flick Rush cups.
yeah i did notice that while obtaining the keyblade.
Actually, Photon Debugger is very useful for Magent + Thunder leveling in KH2. Also for synth grinding in 2FM.
good video man keep it up!!!!
Appreciate that brief "Above the Rising Falls OC Remix," JOC.
your very welcome. It's a great song. It should be in the description.
7:52 please you're already a BBS god if you have your deck loaded with shit like Thunder Surge and Fire Surge
I actually liked the Hidden Dragon. I thought it was useful in the first visit to Port Royal if you combine it with wisdom form. I recently did a low level run and I’m primarily a magic user when it comes to the KH series
well, I guess we now know why it's called end of pain, cause it's the end result of all that pain.
Well I guess thats why they call it "End of pain" ;3
