Hello! I'm currently having trouble figuring out what I should be doing next in KHUx. I beat all the story missions, but don't have enough medals with unlocked specials above 40% to start Proud Mode. At this point, should I just bide my time until I can get gems for medal pulls and try to guilt my medals? My keyblades are all around +23 and +24, except for my Moogle keyblade. Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm just feeling kinda stuck! Thanks for making such great guides and being so nice!!
Awww thank you for the kind words!! ^_^
KHUX has a lot going on but sometimes it feels like there’s nothing at all. Proud mode can be a huge undertaking, especially for new or infrequent players. It relies on having a large collection of medals with a ridiculous array of versatility. Though that’s one of the fun parts about it, it’s also very limiting.
Unfortunately, there’s no bridge between “playing” for outdated, useless medals and “waiting” for enough jewels to get medals that are actually worth having. The only thing between these two is events, but half of those are so difficult that new players can’t complete them and there is only one a week if you’re lucky. That’s just more waiting. So without spending $15 dollars a week to get jewels and VIP premiums, new players run into this problem of “what should I be doing now?”
This won’t always be the case! Events like Maleficent B, Classic Donald and Goofy, and Herc & Phil bring all the new players up to the level of the rest of us. Then when you have a few of these top-tier medals you can start completing the really challenging events and get even more medals. But again, the problem is waiting for an event like this to come along…
I actually believe events like Classic Donald and Herc & Phil should stay up for a month at a time, until they are replaced with similar events. It’s really not fair to people who haven’t played every single day.
But as for your question: what should you do?
Try your best at every event
Log in every day for the jewels
Keep every Tier 2 and higher medal for guilt and Nova
I still don't understand a lot terms used in this game. What is PSM? I'm just trying to beat that dumb Behemoth in the Lexaeus event and just can't seem to do it despite being on a much higher level. Over 45 bars within two turns? Whoever makes these events are just sadistic.
PSM is an abbreviation of Power/Speed/Magic. Buffs come in two flavors: General and Type-Specific. PSM is an all-inclusive term for type specific buffs. You’ll see me say things like +2 PS-Def, which means an enemy has plus two tiers Power-type Defense, or +3 M-Str, which means plus three tiers of Magic-type Attack Strength.
KHUX has a lot of really specific lingo that new players have trouble with. I had someone ask what HSC stood for once! I try to keep my guides beginner-friendly, but the shorthands have become habit. Even the word “guilt” is never spoken in the global KHUX game, and I throw that word around like everyone should know it. >_< I should honestly compile a list of these terms and abbreviations, but I know I’d miss half of them if I tried…
As for the event, it’s quite demanding! But at least it’s not the Xemnas event. O_O That one was horrible! For the Behemoth get a lot of good single target medals. Classic Donald and Xigbar B are my go-to.
So I was stupid and sold 4/6 of my sora & Roxas medals and now can't get the bonus on it. Is there any way to get more s&r medals?
There is not! It was a promotion for the Union Cross update so that’s all the Sora&Roxas medals we will ever get. ;_; However, you should put in a ticket with Square Enix. There has been precedent in the past for SENA refunding medals in situations like this. Actually, I accidentally merged one of my event medals (Larxene B maybe?) without realizing they were still 5* and lost two of them!! I told Square about it, they checked that my account had completed the event, saw that I was missing some medals, and refunded them.
Again, I don’t know if this will work for you. It’s situational. But it’s absolutely worth a try. Because these were free medals, I bet SENA will tilt in your favor.
Hope this helped! And sorry for being so late on the reply ~ I wasn’t notified I had messages! ;_;
Two questions: do you think I should use my Mickey and brooms to guilt my key art #5? Or should I save them to guilt a better premium? Thanks in advance, your blog is soooooo helpful! Please keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the kind words!! ^_^
Using M&B is always a hard decision. The global version of KHUX has failed to establish any consistent, sane way of getting them, so spending them is a big deal. While I’m always a fan of saving for that one medal that will completely change your game, I also think holding onto something potentially useful because it “could be better later” is sort of dumb. So…
Key Art #5: Upright Speed, Str +3, Single target, 3 cost, x3.5 base. I’d say probably not. Though Upright Speed is a pretty good type right now, having a 150% single target isn’t half as useful as an AOE. You can’t roll traits with M&B so that +3 can’t be a +6. And with the release of medals that exceed +3 in Str and PSM Str (0.2 Kairi, Lingering Will, Seph EX) in the JP version, +3 Str will quickly be obsolete.
If you’re going to invest M&B into a high damage buff/debuff medal, I’d recommend waiting for a Tsum Tsum with Extra Attack or Dragon Maleficent. If you’re intent on using them now, Illustrated KH2 Sora is pretty good. General Defense Down will be the slowest buff to depreciate; in other words, -2 Def will be useful longer than +3 Str. The JP version already has a +6 Str medal, but only -2 Def.
tl;dr - Save for a medal with some good traits and/or hopefully -2 Def.
Hello! I have a question. Is the Final Form Sora [M] medal good when not guilted? And how good/useful is it compared to a non guilted SP Roxas [M]?
Well, two things to start with:
Since FFS is Upright and SPR is Reversed, they aren’t really comparable. They will fit different places in your keyblade.
At this point in the game, the only not-guilted medals that will be good are buff medals. Neither of these are buffs so they won’t really help you on difficult missions.
That being said, SPR is better than FFS. SPR is a Tier 4 guilt, where FFS is a Tier 3. SPR has a higher multiplier and doesn’t take away your health. SPR is single target though, while FFS is multi target. Also, because FFS is a Tier 3, he will be easier to guilt: you’re more likely to pull him from medal draws.
Both when guilted are pretty good medals. High strength, high multipliers. But unfortunately, without guilt, just about any other medal that has guilt will be better.
Isn't it alluded in bbs that part of Eraqus is in Terra (which is why the chains appear around him. Those are a signature of Eraqus i think)? So could it be that his keyblade retains its power because he's alive in Terra's heart? This would also imply that No Name retains its power because either MoM or Luxu are alive in some form.
Uhhhh I am really not sure! o_o That’s not something I say about KH a lot. I don’t know what allusion you’re talking about with Eraqus being part of Terra - I don’t remember anything like that in BBS. I know Aqua uses those chains in 0.2, but she’s also using Master Defender. I, personally, never attributed the chains to Eraqus. It’s a pretty common motif (the Castle that Never Was, the final reality shift in DDD), but I can’t say with certainty that it isn’t a signature of Eraqus.
As for No Name, MoM would probably still have to be alive, because even though the keyblade was passed down to Luxu, it’s still a representation of MoM’s heart. Unless, it’s like the x-blade, KK, and KKD, in which it’s not forged, and then… well that’s a whole other thing. We don’t know a lot about No Name other than it being very old. Either way, I don’t think MoM is around anymore. And if he is, I don’t think he’s going to reappear. I think he was just used as a kicking off point for the series and now he’s going to fade away into mystery.
If anyone has any more information on this stuff please send me a message because I’m actually very curious!

Edit: The more I look into this the more I like the idea of those chains being something that is Eraqus specific! I don’t think part of him is in Terra, but the chains thing is really cool.
In Blank points, xehanort hinted or sensed that Eraqus had entered Terra’s heart. I think this is what they are referring to
Oh damn. Well.
I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot and I am officially jumping on the “chains are Eraqus’s signature” bandwagon. It makes sense in 0.2 when Aqua uses them because she has MD, and then when Terra uses them because of this scene. I do wonder about “set foot in your heart” because honestly I’m getting really tired of all this “hearts in people’s bodies” thing. Like, this should not be a plot point that reoccurs this often. Hopefully Eraqus has impacted Terra’s heart or something, and Eraqus isn’t really alive inside Terra like Xehanort is.
Can’t anyone in this series ever die? It really cheapens the characters when they get brought back to life every game.

this is weird, I've just seen a guy with two WoFF medals WITH TRAITS¡! do you think those medals are available from the old high scores banner, or he just had two spares of those medals¿? q
They aren’t in the current banners. They are probably held onto from the previous event. Honestly, because they are PSM Str +1 or Def -1, a lot of people held onto extras for that buff. One of my party members did that. Unfortunately, I didn’t. ;_;
Hi i have facebook login this game and i try it on other phone but i dont have enought memory so i went back to first phone. And then it was asking me to login or new game i went login but it said that i already been login and do i want to continue? And there is no to go yes or no... what should i do,
This is weird. o_o
Usually if it says you’re already logged in then it’ll grab your backup data and update your game. My roommate actually switches between her iPad and her iPhone by doing this very often.
But if there isn’t any button, I’m not sure what you can do? It sounds like a bug. The only advice I have is uninstalling and re-installing. You’ll have to log back into your Facebook account, but it should work after that. If not, message Square Enix North America.
So you see, I'm still a noob in KHUx. I'm on quest 475. But I have a question about the current High Score Challenge. How exactly can I get enough points? I know this probably sounds so dumb to you, but I have no idea how to deal any damage to any of those LV. 350 enemies. Could you perhaps give a few tips?
No question is dumb! I’m sure someone else is wondering the same thing. So here’s a couple tips:
-The current $15 dollar deal gives you access to the Illustrated Belle & Beast medals, which are a godsend. If you already have Sebastian or Ariel&Flounder or iKairi, this isn’t a “need to have”, but it helps clear away the buffs on the Cannon Gun.
-Defense Down is more helpful than anything. iXion, HD Axel, Key Art #3, Smee, Owl, Meg, iAnsem… that kind of thing.
-Guilted Tier 3 medals are important. Xigbar B in particular is really great because he does Defense Down and does a lot of damage. You don’t have to worry about AOE, so find some good single target 100% medals.
-Match your keyblade type. Try leveling up Olympia or Divine Rose, depending on what your good medals are. Classic Donald on DR is really useful.
-WoFF medals are great because they are super effective against every attribute, and there is one Speed, one Power, and one Magic enemy. If you have someone sharing a 100% boosted WoFF medal, you should use it.
-Don’t forget Nova! Use it on the one that is giving you the most trouble. This will probably be the Cannon Gun.
-Second Chance and Defense Boost can help you get a second turn.
-If you’re running out of Special, bring one of your Chip&Dale medals! Or if you have a friend sharing a Key Art #1, use that.
I hope this helps! If you need anything else just send a message!
