How to Get Faith in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Faith surrounds Ventus with pillars of light that damage everything nearby. Along with Salvation it is one of his two signature high-end commands, and it is Ventus-only. There is a single recipe and it cannot fail, so on paper this is easy.

The difficulty is not the meld. It is getting hold of a Break Time.

How to Meld Faith (The Only Recipe)

Both ingredients are mandatory and there is no alternative recipe.

The Break Time Problem

Break Time has no dependable meld recipe. It shows up as a 10% result when you meld a Curaga with Renewal Block, Renewal Barrier, Focus Block or Focus Barrier. The other 90% of the time you get Slot Edge instead.

So melding for Break Time means burning a Curaga and a defensive command per attempt for a one in ten shot. Most people find it faster to pick Break Time up from treasure chests and enemy drops instead, then spend it here.

The consolation, if you do meld for it, is that Slot Edge is genuinely useful. It is part of the Blitz recipe, so a failed attempt still leaves you with something worth having.

You will also want two Wind Raids if you plan on making Salvation as well, since both commands consume one.

Which Crystal Should You Use?

One recipe, so the crystal is your only decision.

Pulsing Crystal gives Second Chance. Given how much effort a Break Time costs, you may as well get the best ability out of the meld. Take this unless you already have it.

The rest of the set:

  • Shimmering gives Cure Boost
  • Fleeting gives Reload Boost
  • Wellspring gives Combo Plus
  • Soothing gives Defender
  • Hungry gives Treasure Magnet
  • Abounding gives Lucky Strike

That is the same ability set as Salvation, which makes sense given they share the Wind Raid half of the recipe. Level Faith before melding it away if you want to keep what you farmed.

Commands That Use Faith as an Ingredient

Nothing melds from Faith. Once it is built and levelled it stays in your deck.

Building the Wind Raid

Wind Raid has two guaranteed recipes, both Ventus-only:

MeldOddsResult
Freeze Raid + Aeroga100%Wind Raid
Treasure Raid + Aeroga100%Wind Raid

Aeroga comes from Aero + Aerora at 90%. Make two Wind Raids if you want Salvation as well, since it needs one too.

Break Time, by contrast, is best found rather than melded. It turns up in treasure chests, as an enemy drop, and from leveling certain commands.

Want to Test Your Melding Path?

The Command Melding Simulator will confirm the ability before you spend a hard-won Break Time on it.

Faith is a guaranteed meld gated behind an awkward ingredient. Find a Break Time rather than farming one, keep a spare Wind Raid for Salvation, and bring a Pulsing Crystal when you finally do the meld.
