Maybe you have an idea of the best loadout for Sora.. Maybe you already know how to optimize his weapons and accessories to best fit your needs, from Magic to Strength, and all the abilities in between. Have you ever wondered about Donald and Goofy, though? Sure, they may die nearly instantly against superbosses, but that doesn’t mean you can’t equip them with certain weapons and abilities that’ll get them up quicker–and alive for longer–to help Sora survive the fight. Here are the top 10 Weapons (for all of our team) and how you can obtain them.

10. Nano Gear (Best for Balance)

9. Nobody Guard (Best for Fighting Nobodies)

Okay, so, this shield may be at the bottom of our Top 10 list—but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of the coolest-looking weapons. Sporting the silver-and-white Nobody symbol with 4 dark gray spikes erupting from behind it, this shield is sure to strike fear into the hearts (or lack thereof) within your enemy.
