5. Shooting Star

Shooting Star is one of the best you’ll be able to find in the early game. Coming in at 5 Magic and 3 Strength, this keyblade is a must if you’re just getting the hang of casting spells.

How to Obtain: Shooting Star is super easy to get——all you have to do is clear Twilight Town.

Shooting Star Stats:

5 Magic
3 Strength

Shooting Star Review:

Great for casting spells
MP Haste assists in recovering Mana Points
It lacks a bit in strength, but we'll take it for how easily and early you can get it!

4. Hunny Spout

This one is a personal favorite, purely for how gosh-darned adorable it is. Not only do you get it early and easily, by completing the Hunny Acre Woods, it’s also good for cooking, which will help with achievements that will give you bonuses later down the line. It also has three Shotlock slots and has a pretty solid Form Change. Totally worth it for those who are just starting their run!

How to Obtain: Again, all you have to do is clear the Hunny Acre Woods.

Hunny Spout Review:

This Keyblade is great for all your cooking needs!
Has three Shotlocks
Form Change capabilities are undoubtedly powerful

Hunny Spout Stats:

+4 Strength
+4 Magic
Harvest ability
3 Shotlocks
Form Change

3. Happy Gear

Happy Gear happily falls in the middle of our list. The previous two Keyblade have been geared towards Magic Users. Happy Gear diverges from that, sporting a stronger Strength stat compared to Magic. Its Form Change, Assault Claw, can prove very useful against hordes of enemies and bosses alike.

How to Obtain: Just clear Monstropolis, nad this keyblade is yours!

Happy Gear Review:

Strong strength stat
Powerful Form Change abilities allow you to barrel down enemies
Has a low Magic stat, but its Strength stat more than makes up for it

Happy Gear Stats:

+6 Strength
+2 Magic

2. Nano Gear

Here, we have a super balanced and powerful Keyblade (for how early you can get it). It’ll turn into Nano Bots with its Form Change, which will absolutely pummel through all of your enemies and bosses! You’ll alsol be able to use both Strength- and Magic-oriented attacks just as equally. All of the above earns Nano Gear its place as the second best early game Keyblade.

How to Obtain: As always, super easy--just clear San Fransokyo!

Nano Gear Review:

Amazingly balanced stats make this a great Keybalde for any beginner
Powerful Form Change abilities will make fights easier for you

Nano Gear Stats:

+5 Strength
+4 Magic
Stun Protection

1. Favorite Deputy

Favorite Deputy is definitely the favorite of this list, and for good reason. The Toy Box realm can be completed very early, and in return, you’ll get this keyblade. It has solid Strength and Magic stats—but that’s not the kicker. It has Lucky Strike. This ability will increase your drop rate of items, and we can all agree that players starting a new run could definitely use that. For all these reasons listed above, Favorite Deputy earns its spot as the best early game keyblade.

How to Obtain: No tricks here. Just compete the Toy Box!
