Terra using the Ultima Cannon Shotlock

Shotlock (シュートロック Shūtorokku?, lit. "Shoot Lock") is a combat system for Terra, Aqua, and Ventus that debuted in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It is initiated by holding L and R. The user enters first person mode and locks on to enemies. When the maximum amount of enemies are locked on to, the user then initiates a powerful magic-based attack that hits all targeted enemies without fail. Using a Shotlock uses up the Focus Gauge, which can be refilled by attacking enemies and using Ethers. Most of the Shotlocks in the game can be learned by all three Keyblade wielders, but they also get several that are unique to them.

Shotlocks

General

There are three basic types of Shotlocks that can be categorized based on the type of button input. One involves pressing the Template:Button button repeatedly while the user fires many blasts of magic. Another involves the user dashing around surrounded by an elemental aura and ending with the player putting in the right combination to generate large pillars of magic. The last form involves timing and pressing the Template:Button button as a ring lines up with another, this usually has the user firing blasts of different magic in rounds similar to Ragnarok.

Name Attribute Description
Meteor Shower (メテオシャワー Meteo Shawā?) Light The user fires many blasts of light magic at all locked on enemies. Meteor Shower was originally called Star Burst (スターバースト Sutā Bāsuto?) and was thought to be exclusive to Terra; this was changed in the final version of the game.[1]
Chaos Snake (カオススネーク Kaosu Sunēku?) Confusion (50%) Light (50%) The user fires many white, zigzagging blasts of magic at all target enemies. Enemies hit by the blasts are then confused for a short period of time.
Ragnarok (ラグナロク Ragunaroku?) Light The user charges a blast of magic and fires multiple lasers at all targeted enemies. Visually similar to Sora's Ragnarok.
Lightning Ray (ライトニングレイ Raitoningu Rei?) Thunder The user charges at all targeted enemies while shrouded in an aura of lightning, the attack ends differently than the others of its type. The player has to hit the Template:Button button multiple times as the user charges all over any remaining enemies.
Absolute Zero (アブソリュートゼロ Abusoryūto Zero?) Ice The user charges at all targeted enemies while shrouded in an aura of ice, the attack ends with multiple ice pillars erupting from the ground. It shares its name with one of Vexen's Shields.
Photon Charge (フォトンチャージ Foton Chāji?) Light The user charges at all enemies while shrouded in an aura of light, the attack ends with multiple pillars of light erupting from the ground. This Shotlock was originally planned to be exclusive to Ventus, but was made available to all three in the final version.
Bio Barrage (バイオバラージュ Baio Barāju?) Poison The user charges up multiple blasts of green, poison magic and fires them at the enemies. One of the most powerful Shotlocks that can be learned by all three.
Thunder Storm (サンダーストーム Sandā Sutōmu?) Thunder The user charges several large blasts of thunder magic and shoots them at all locked on enemies. One of the more powerful Shotlocks.
Flame Salvo (フレイムバースト Fureimu Bāsuto?, lit. "Flame Burst") Fire The user fires many fireballs at all locked on enemies.

Terra

Template:Spoiler

Name Attribute Description
Sonic Shadow (ソニックシャドウ Sonikku Shadou?) Darkness Terra charges at all targeted enemies while cloaked in an aura of darkness. The attack ends with multiple pillars of darkness erupting from the ground.
Dark Volley (ブラックボレー Burakku Borē?, lit. "Black Volley") Darkness Terra fires many blasts of dark energy at all targeted enemies. As he was once Terra, the new Xehanort is able to use this Shotlock to some degree during his battles with Aqua and the Lingering Sentiment.
Ultima Cannon (アルテマキャノン Arutema Kyanon?) Earth Terra's ultimate Shotlock. Terra's Keyblade morphs into a gigantic cannon and fires two huge blasts that create huge explosions when coming in contact with enemies. As they both are connected to Terra, the new Xehanort and the Lingering Sentiment can use this Shotlock to some degree.

Ventus

Name Attribute Description
Multi Vortex (マルチボーテックス Maruchi Bōtekkusu?) Light Ventus's most powerful Shotlock. Ventus starts by slashing in all directions multiple times before spinning and creating a giant tornado filled with shooting stars.
Pulse Bomb (パルスボム Parusu Bomu?) Ventus holds his keyblade backhanded and sends out energy from the light of the Keyblade, causing many small explosions. The orbs created slightly resemble those used in Sephiroth's Shadow Flare attack in Kingdom Hearts II.
Dark Link (ダークオブリンク Dāku Obu Rinku?, lit. "Dark of Link") Darkness (50%) Light (50%) Ventus creates three crystals that concentrate together into a giant beam of light energy. Ventus and Vanitas take aim at one another, Vanitas firing a beam of blue energy while Ventus counters with a gold one of his own. Different buttons must be rapidly tapped, and even the analog stick may need to be rotated in order to win the grapple. Used only in Ventus's final battle against Vanitas.

Aqua

Name Attribute Description
Bubble Blaster (バブルブラスト Baburu Burasuto?, lit. "Bubble Blast") Water A giant bubble surrounds Aqua and releases smaller bubbles that chase after enemies.
Prism Rain (レインボウシャワー Reinbou Shawā?, lit. "Rainbow Shower") Light Light in seven colors bursts from the Keyblade and chases after enemies. Press Template:Button (Template:Button in Japanese versions) at the right time in the circle to input the command.
Lightbloom (シャイニーブルーム Shainī Burūmu?, lit. "Shiny Bloom") Light Aqua's strongest Shotlock. She twirls on the spot while shooting many orbs of white light. As it progresses, her spinning becomes more and more elaborate until she is spinning with one of her legs behind her head.

Dark Cannon (ダークキャノン Dāku Kyanon?) Darkness During the last stage of the final battle between Ventus and Vanitas, Vanitas uses a Shotlock called "Dark Cannon", in which Vanitas fires a beam of blue energy, augmented by a rotating triangle of blue crystals. Through his D-Link with Vanitas, Ventus gains a gold-colored version of the same Shotlock, named "Dark Link," which he uses to combat Vanitas's Dark Cannon.
