Wyvern is a set of Lances that can be wielded by Xaldin in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It represents Xaldin's personality.

Design

A Wyvern Lance is shorter than most of Xaldin's other weapons and has a light grey shaft. Its lower blade is dark red with an orange base and forks into two wing-like prongs. The upper blade is shaped like a stylized dragon's head with a circular, light grey eye and its mouth open. The dragon's head is dark red, while its "neck" is orange with black side edges.

A "Wyvern" is a type of winged dragon with only legs and no forearms and a barbed or spiked tail. The name could also be a reference to the "Hiryū" of Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy V, whose name was frequently translated as "Wyvern".

Fittingly, Xaldin commands the Dragoon Nobodies and uses the Jump command, and Final Fantasy II featured Wyverns as the chosen mount for Dragoons, which were also introduced in that game. As it represents Xaldin's personality, it's design showcases how ferocious he is.

Gameplay

Wyvern’s combo starts with a thrust of all six Lances forwards, followed by a star-shaped shockwave being emitted from the tips of the Lances and ends with up to four consecutive scissor-like attacks, where all six Lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves.

The aerial combo consists of a curved, downward diagonal slash using one Lance, followed by another downward diagonal slash using one Lance, and ends with a thrust of all six Lances forwards at once in a pointed, star-like shape. This weapon has no combo.
