Keyblade of despair 16 Posted August 2, 2013 Your gonna choose in the beginning.(sword,shiel,staff) I'm not sure if there were already a post about this. I'm getting shield and staff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shard the Gentleman 2,891 Posted August 2, 2013 Getting the sword, giving up the shield. I always do it in that order. Having a front on defensive is what I do until I get the proper magics to do ranged attacks and defensive spells. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caity 3,946 Posted August 2, 2013 I usually choose to staff and give up the shield when I didn't know the effect they had on gameplay, I like magic and felt strength was more important than defence Now I know that it effects the gameplay I'd keep the shield and give up the staff.

Keyblade of despair 16 Posted August 2, 2013 On second thought I'm getting shield and giving up staff rod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted August 2, 2013 I'm getting the shield for the boost of Defense and the ability to actually survive many hits, especially since I will be playing on Proud. I'll give up the rod, I found strength to be the most useful than magic in KH1 for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whimsy-Mimsy 99 Posted August 2, 2013 I tend to just rush things repeatedly, so I choose the shield and give up the staff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxClouDxxmoon 901 Posted August 2, 2013 I tend to go sword and give up staff, but I might give up shield for proud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerruss 576 Posted August 2, 2013 I practically never give up the staff, since it gives AP. And I always fine that I am short on AP. For normal play I probably would go +staff-shield, or +staff-sword, though for the level 1 challenge I probably would go with +sword-staff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted August 2, 2013 I think I'll take the sword and give up the shield. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mila 37 Posted August 3, 2013 I don't know but I think I'll use a guide to decide what will be the best decision when I 1st played KH I took the sword and give up the shield but in Final Mix the stats and the levels where you learn the abilities have changed..so the decision +sword -shield could be not the best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaldin III 80 Posted August 5, 2013 I started with shield and gave up magic the first time, but since I was seeking a challenge and defense is useless against Sephiroth I now go with the sword and leave the shield. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingskater4 19 Posted August 6, 2013 I mostly picked the staff since it gave you 3 MP at the beginning instead of 2, and I think it gives you more MP by the time you reach level 100 than the sword and shield do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
