Best Kingdom Hearts Summons, ranked

Sora has enlisted the help of many Disney and Final Fantasy characters over the years, and Kingdom Hearts summons have provided a great way for players to get the upper hand on the Heartless and Nobodies.

While not all Kingdom Hearts summons are useful (we’re looking at you, Chicken Little), plenty of them can greatly assist Sora and his friends, both offensively and defensively.

Here are the seven best Kingdom Hearts summons.

While not as powerful as you’d like, Peter Pan’s summon is still useful in tight situations. While protected, pixie dust flies across the battlefield while Sora attacks his foes from the air.

Regardless, “The Flying Boy” can save Sora in a pinch if used correctly.
