KH1 What to sacrifice?

[Damon Boylan 0]

I decided to go with the staff, I normally always choose the Sword, but I'm playing on Proud mode and it seems that the Staff will provide a much more beneficial experience whilst playing. I am stuck on what to sacrifice, the shield or the sword?

I heard somewhere that its better to sacrifice the shield because of all the 'defense ups' you can get...but idk

Yeah, I heard you can sacrifice either or, you can find Str and Def Ups but nothing for Magic, so I went with the staff. I'm literally sitting on pause trying to determine what to do.

Fool. It's okay, I didn't order - oh- wait- oops. I did order it actually. Sorry.

On normal I plan on getting Sword and give up shield

 

On easy I will probably do the same thing.

 

On proud I will get rod and give up sword.

I went with staff/sword. It has the best overall stats. http://www.destinyislands.com/kh/walkthroughs/dive-to-the-heart/
