Luigi swiftly spins and creates a multi-hit damaging whirlwind that launches opponents with its final hit. Unlike previous games, it no longer gains sufficient height even with [[button mashing]], making it essentially useless for [[recovery]], and makes Luigi easier to [[edgeguard]] and [[gimp]]. However, the move has gained some notable strengths. It has larger hitboxes and now has a [[windbox]] that sucks the opponent into the move which helps it connect with opponents more consistently. It also has increased damage and knockback, making it a viable KO move particularily near the upper [[blast line]]s, and can be combo'd into from his down throw for a potential KO at high percents. It can also be a KO move on the ground near the ledge at very high percents, especially if the opponents' [[DI]] is poor.

It also has one last notable strength which is that it grants Luigi [[invincibility]] frames during the move. The amount and duration of invincibility depends on whether the move is used in the air or on the ground with the move having invincibility on frames 4-8 if used on the ground and frames 1-7 if used in the air. With its new trait of invincibility, Luigi can potentially break out of combos and tank through an opposing attack which when used properly, can help him get out of disadvantage and launch a counterattack. Lastly, its strong damage and knockback synergize with its invincibility to give it great ledge coverage use.
