In Dragon Ball Heroes, the Key Swords appear as items during the missions of the Dark Demon Realm Saga where they are used by the Time Patrol to seal the Hell Gates opened by Towa in the Hell Gate Assault Saga. The player starts each battle in that saga in possession of a Key Sword, and at the end of their attack phase can attack the enemy using the Key Sword. If the player wins the Charge Impact, the enemy is pierced by the Key Sword, which causes damage, halves their Guard and increases their Charge Impact speed. The Key Sword can be stolen from the person holding it if they lose a Charge Impact while defending. Winning a battle while holding a Key Sword will award the player with a Dragon Ball.
The Key Swords later reappear as items during the missions of the Dark King Mechikabura Saga, where each member of the Time Patrol-Demigra Army alliance is given one by Demigra to close the Hell Gates protecting Mechikabura's Tower.
Universe Mission 9 introduced the CAA type, which can be used once per battle from Round 1 onwards if the enemy team has at least five members. When activated, the user will lock onto a specific enemy and fire several spectral Key Swords at the target. If the target fails the Charge Impact, the target's abilities are sealed for the next round, in addition to any effects specific to the user's CAA.
Xeno Trunks uses his fully charged Key Sword first to seal Mechikabura's Time Power Unleashed form, giving Xeno Vegito the opportunity to hit him hard enough to revert him to his base form. Xeno Trunks then seals Mechikabura's youth, further weakening him enough for Chronoa to seal him away in the Labyrinth of Light.
