Today saw the launch of Proud Mode in Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ! This new mode of the game gives an extra challenge to players looking for something new while offering cool rewards, including a new Keyblade! This update starts players off with fifty available quests, with more slated to come in the future.

Proud Mode is accessed by going to Story Quests and then tapping the little red button that says Proud Mode. Proud Mode quests don't allow you to use continues or shared medals, and each quest locks you into using one Keyblade. In addition, each quest will have a specific restriction on the special attacks you can use--for example, one may only allow you to use special attacks with a special attack bonus of a certain percentage or higher, or only special attacks with a maximum limit of how many strikes the attack deals--forcing players to think more strategically about the medals they use.



...oh dear

Completing the first three quests alone will net you the Sleeping Lion Keyblade! ...But you can only level it up using Electrum Ores, new Keyblade materials only obtained by completing quest objectives. Sleeping Lion is a Speed-oriented Keyblade with powerful multipliers, so it's well worth the effort! It even comes with all of its medal slots unlocked! In addition to Electrum Ores, completing Proud Mode quest objectives will net you Avatar Coins and helpful Medals like six-star versions of Huey, Dewey, or Louie, or Magic Mirrors!
