(Note that in the previous post, the examples are about the specific attacks shown in the image. We won't be changing the element attached to all attacks from all formchanges, just some whose VFX are visually magical but were using the Strength stat to calculate their damage.)

This also plays into how, with the 2.0 update, we're rebalancing the damage output of all playable characters… including the element and stat attached to some formchange attacks.
Some formchanges will have Magic-base attacks or deal elemental damage, which may not always be optimal for all "paths"!

Note that stats in the video may still change, and are also the final stats (Forge LV10) for the Keyblades shown above.

Fun fact, if there's something we learned with game balance, is that spreadsheets are unavoidable…
… especially since the game has 20+ party members, and that other mods like the Olympus Coliseum allow the player to choose whomever in the party.

In rare cases, he will be visible in the menu; his existing party member slot (that we're using in this mod) has this hard-coded functionality, eg. if you are KO:d when he is in your party.
As such, we set him up there with idle animations… but not without error and trial with the camera framing…

One good example for today is Kairi!
In LvD 2.0, as a party member, she'll use Barrier to guard and counter-attack enemy damage, prioritising airborne foes, and using the same (expanded) moveset as when you directly play her.
Likewise, all party members will actively evade or dodge damage. (2/2)
