Kingdom Hearts III- Dive to the Heart choices explained

[gepugg 81]

At the start of your journey in Kingdom Hearts III, you are presented with several different options, as was the case with other mainline games in the series. This takes place in the Dive to the Heart and as you can expect, the choices you make here affect how Sora levels up throughout the game. 

The first choice that the game gives you is between Balance, Wisdom and Vitality. This is the equivalent of the first two games where you had to choose which power to focus on and what to sacrifice, although the choice here affects stats. 

As you’d expect, this choice effects which stat will increase more between your MP and Attack. Choosing Wisdom will start you off with more MP and increase that stat faster, but reduce your Attack and give you slightly less health to start with. If you want to focus on magic then go for Wisdom. 

Choosing Vitality will do the opposite, giving you a higher Attack stat and more Health, but reduce your initial MP and its growth. If you want to focus on combos and attacking then Vitality is your best bet here. 

If you don’t want to focus on any area in particular and just want an equal experience, Balance is your best bet as it gives you a much more even amount of MP and HP. This is best if you don’t want a big difference between the stats. 

The exact stats for each choice are as follows: 

Choice	HP	MP
Vitality	120	100
Wisdom	90	120
Balance	105	110

The next choice comes from whether you want the power of the Warrior, the Guardian or the Mystic. This is the same as choosing between the Staff, Shield and Sword and effects which abilities Sora will get as he levels up. 

Choosing the Mystic will have Sora gain magic-related abilities earlier on, such as MP Haste and Magic Combo Thrift. This is the best choice if you want a magic-focused Sora and if you chose Wisdom in the previous section. 

The Guardian focuses on defense-based abilities such as Once More and Damage Control. If you’re playing on Proud and want to ensure you don’t die too often, this is the best choice for you, especially if paired with Vitality. 

The Warrior choice gives Sora more combat-related abilities such as Combo Plus and Finishing Spiral. If you want all of Sora’s combat abilities as early as possible, then this is the right choice for you. As it doesn’t focus on one section of Sora in particular, this works well for a balanced playthrough.

I really appreciate how they focused more on balance this time around. I feel like now no matter what choice I end up choose (which usually tends to be the sword path anyway), I'm not making the wrong one.

Good to know! During my first play through I choose Balance and Guardian. And during my second play through I choose Vitality and Guardian.

I usually focus on defense on my normal playthroughs, while opting for damage when doing challenge runs.  As for my first playthrough, (I am currently 60+ hours in) I chose Vitality and Guardian.

Proud on this game is super easy tho.

 

So basically everyone should go Wisdom + Mystic because Magic is broke.

I know right? Maybe it'll come into play with a critical mode DLC. I mean, I only died once in the frozen boss fight because I was distracted by a phone call.
