Overview

The first custom variation of Ganondorf's neutral special is known as Warlock Blade. In this custom variation of Warlock Punch, rather than a normal punch, Ganondorf pulls out the Sword of Sages and stabs it forwards. It has less start-up, greater range, deals increased shield damage, and the sword has powerful sweetspot at the tip which not only deals increase knockback, it can also instantly shatter a full shield. Overall, it is weaker than Warlock Punch if not landed with the tip of the sword, making it most useful as a long-ranged punishing option. As of update 1.1.3, if reversed, it has super armor frames if starting on frame 18 and ends on frame 56, right before the stab.
