Mushu in KH1 without EXP zero isn't exactly great :( The other summons like Dumbo (unable to die for an entire 30 seconds), Bambi (infinite MP), and Tinkerbell (Regen + Auto life), god dann.
This is only with 7 MP, and Summon Damage and duration scales with MP. It's very easy to get about 12 here, feasible to get 15, and if you grind, you can get 19 MP by this point.
Dont forget Damage Storage with EXP Zero. Just get the first 2 hits of a combo but don't finish it, and all damage dealt by summons or magic are doubled.
KH1 Donald is actually really competent, KH2 and 3 he's harder to configure, and MUCH MUCH SQUISHIER, he dies or nearly dies a bunch which means he heals himself a bunch
Its an FM version only thing, long story short, EXP Zero is mildly bugged and if you don't do an attack after making a combo finisher, all your spells and other damage sources inherit the damage bonus of EXP Zero that is applied to Finishers Including all of Mushu's fireballs
I'll never forget that my sole motivation for beating Ansem was that my cousin said he had always lost. Had to prove I'm the better gamer. Mission accomplished.
"Wosoever, be he worth, shall haveth the power!!" THIS is why Kingdom Hearts doesn't need Bahamut. We got EXP Zero Mushu, a summon so busted that he had to be nerfed in the subsequent two games and one remake he appeared in, and then he never made a summon again.
@@Death565656 Don't spread misinformation. You absolutely do not. Majority online say so. I've even personally tested it. Damage Storage only really becomes effective starting from Jafar, though.
Me I prefer Tinker bell and choco keytblade long3st reach so I can hit him and get heal and most of his attacks are smaller then choco blade cause has the longest reach
Exp zero has a hidden buff (or bug, i'm not sure). After dealing an aerial finisher combo (the normal finisher, not Hurrican Blast), your next attack has the multiplier boost of a finisher. But as long as you don't attack an ennemy again, magic and summons have that effect too. So, you need to deal a full aerial combo and then stop using normal attacks. Then magic and summons have a huge increase in damage, and it's especially strong with Mushu.
@@gabouchar9977 If I recall correctly doing a level 1 run with no exp ability has a hidden mechanic buff. So literally a buff. That and Nomura made sure almost all KH games can be finished in a level 1 playthrough. Especially through no exp ability. The only exception I can think of is Re CoM/Chain of Memories. Where you're forced to level up. Then again I'm not sure how KH1 damage modifiers work. It has been a long time. All I know is No Exp and level 1 runs are buffed for the challenge.
@@kingdombladesventus I wasn't clear, but yes the buff was made on purpose. But I dont think that what is known has damage storage was intended. We can't know for sure, but I imagine that they didn't realise that doing magic or summon damage wouldn't "consume" the buff and could be exploited indefinitely. They probably wanted to just buff the next attack after a finisher to give you a bit more damage, not let you do something like this. The damage you can do with Mushu, for example, can't be intented I think. It's too powerful. Also, the fact that you can use this at any level is also probably an oversight and could be called a bug itself. This hidden ability should have been tied to being at level 1, not the ability, because then you can do what this video does here. Insane damage at any level.
@@gabouchar9977 Either way it's a helpful tip when I eventually get to do my future level 1 runs. And I was thinking long ago I should start it with KH1 for sure. Also thank you for your information. I appreciate it ~
@@gabouchar9977 So what actually is happening is that EXP Zero applies a Fixed Damage bonus to combo finishers, based on the World Level, this bonus however is only removed when you start another normal attack, so if you do a finisher and then use Magic or a Summon attack, those inherit the boost and well *waves at example* Death Your Honor Its only effective later on due to the World Level scaling however EXP Zero does not need you to be Lv1 for these bonuses
so mushu wasnt lying in kh2
"You know I helped these guys out of a lot of tight spots. Cause I'm a mighty dragon!" - Mushu KH2 😂😂
"Man we used to kick all kinds of bad guy butt together"
- Mushu after shooting Ansem to death with fireballs
Sora to donald and goofy: "how can we defeat ansem?"
Mushu: "Have you ever tried gunning him down?"
You're right time to bring out my gat😂
This game is over 20 years old and you still learn new things
Well zero exp wasn’t added until the remaster
Mushu is one of the strongest summons with EXP Zero thanks to Damage Storage.
@@Phoenixifyable It existed originally in the Final Mix version of the game for Japan, actually, which was way back on PS2.
@@PhoenixifyableNo, it was there since the Final Mix more than 20 years ago
@@Ventus2077 EXP Zero is exclusive to the HD remasters for KHFM, it was in PS2 KH2FM+ but not KHFM
Today I learned you can turn Kingdom Hearts into a sh'mup.
Chicken Little even has an FPS mode
Sora's facial expression while Mushu is summoned on his head always makes me laugh.
“Hey mushy you see that Boss’s healthbar?”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t want to see it anymore”
Think people just severely underestimate summons in the kh series. Probably why they became limits in 3. Kind of a shame, really.
Well Ariel stills broken as hell in KH III you can avoid every DM in the data bosses

Lv 1 grinding is the most infuriating thing ever
@@brandonmarsh7557
So don't grind at level 1? 19 is only possible if you aren't level 1 anyway. I think it's possible by level 60.
All hail Eddie Murphy
He is indeed Mushu.
Unnoticed: Donald actually healing Sora.
"Donald i need a heal right now im not gonna make it in time"
"THUNDAGAAAAAAAAAA"
KH1 Donald is actually really competent, KH2 and 3 he's harder to configure, and MUCH MUCH SQUISHIER, he dies or nearly dies a bunch which means he heals himself a bunch
Gets peppered to death and his only response is "submit" dang this guy has some problems. You know aside from all his already existing problems
Wait WTF!! Mushu is actually really OP?!! Man all these years and I didn’t even know you can cheese bosses like that.

He’s got his guardian and heartless, we have our summons.
Ansem: You can’t defeat me.
Sora: I know, but he can.
Mushu: 🐉

all i have to do is equip EXP Zero before the fight ? O_O
@StormDragon ツ nope just exp zero.
Exp zero land a combo finisher then pummel with Mushu
@StormDragon ツ lv1 lol
@@DeathGoesCrazy no. You have to be lvl 1 to get the hidden bonus buffs from 0 xp.

What in the devil may cry 2 did I witness
Me I prefer Tinker bell and choco keytblade long3st reach so I can hit him and get heal and most of his attacks are smaller then choco blade cause has the longest reach
How strong is Mushu in the original version of this game?
Does this work for any boss fight or just Ansem?
Neither lv99 with Ultima could be so fast
Excuse me....what? I don't understand what i just witnessed
And without Donald and goofy ?
bruh, why is that so broken
Does this also work well on proud mode?
Huh……wish I knew that when I completed my first run of KH1 (I used mushu once….and then never again, but now I’m taking notes)
how did you get scan at level 1
I don't think he is level 1. I think he just equipped zero exp before the fight. I believe damage storage works no matter what level you are.
But how
Rabid Pixy there is a wierd "glitch" that makes magic and summons deal 2× damage after you finish a standard keybalde combo with zero exp equipped
Does damagestorage still work on the steam pc version?
yes
I’m slightly ashamed to admit this is how I beat Kurt Zisa at level 48. Only slightly though, he deserved it.
How does this mechanic work? Does EXP Zero do something to increase Sora's damage output?
