'''Robin''' ({{ja|ルフレ|Rufure}}, ''Reflet'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Lucina}} and the rest of the returning roster. As in the previous game, both male and female versions of Robin are playable, although the male Robin is showcased in promotional material and used as the default palette swap for the character. Robin is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #56]].

The voice actors for male and female Robin reprise their  roles in English ({{iw|wikipedia|David Vincent|voice actor}} and {{s|wikipedia|Lauren Landa}}) and in Japanese ({{s|wikipedia|Yoshimasa Hosoya}} and {{s|wikipedia|Miyuki Sawashiro}}), with their portrayals from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' being repurposed for their respective editions of ''Ultimate''.

Robin is ranked 67th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him towards the center of the C- tier. This is a noticeable drop from his 37th/38th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'', where he was tied with {{SSB4|Samus}}. Robin plays as a zoner with access to a variety of useful projectiles in [[Thunder (Robin)|Thunder]] and [[Arcfire]], the latter allowing him to set up punishes or ledge traps. He has a unique mechanic in the form of durability, which turns his tomes and Levin Sword into [[item]]s that can be thrown after sufficient use, which allows for creative item play. His Levin Sword has limited durability but strong power and shield safety for its speed; when combined with his projectiles, this allows him to do highly damaging conversions from one opening. Finally, he has a far-reaching recovery with [[Elwind]], and a niche healing [[command grab]] in [[Nosferatu]], which [[healing|heals]] for substantially more based on how damaged he is compared to his victim.

However, Robin has notable flaws. His durability mechanic is the most glaring: it forces downtime into his gameplay cycle and removes essential tools from his kit when he has no uses. Outside of his decent aerial mobility, his general speed is one of the worst in the game. Additionally, all his projectiles outside of Thoron are canceled out against other hitboxes, while his disjointed range is very short for a swordfighter, especially with the Bronze Sword, which makes trading blows very unfavorable. Combined, these make it difficult for him to start aggressive [[approach]]es and makes him vulnerable to rushdowns. Robin's defensive game is lacking as he has almost no [[out of shield]] options outside of [[Z-drop]]ping used items (which requires him to deplete tools), while his grab is only average in speed and range, with his throws having only serviceable use. Finally, his recovery does not provide any protection from above, and the aforementioned durability mechanic can cause him to lose access to it.

Overall, Robin is a mid-range, keep-away zoner that has potential to perform short, high-damage combos with his projectiles and items. However, his durability mechanic, limited range and poor defensive options make it hard for him to mount an offense. His representation in competitive play has been low throughout the lifespan of ''Ultimate'', though he has a few dedicated players to his name, such as {{Sm|Leaf|p=Japan}} and {{Sm|morrocoYo}}.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Robin being the 53rd character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Kirby}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the 5th character unlocked after {{SSBU|Zelda}}.
*Have Robin join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
Robin must then be defeated on [[Castle Siege]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).

==Attributes==
Robin is a tall, middleweight character who has very low ground mobility. Robin’s dashing speed is the second slowest in the game, and his walking speed is very slow. While his dashing speed is below average, Robin still has an average initial dash distance, which allows him to rely on [[Fox-trotting]] as a quicker ground movement option. Aside from these attributes, Robin's other traits are typical of a middleweight: his air speed, traction, falling speed, and gravity are all average. However, Robin's air acceleration is above average. As a result of these attributes, Robin has difficulty chasing foes and fleeing from them at the same time, though his oddly decent aerial mobility compensates this to a degree.

Robin's tomes provide myriad spacing, pressure, and additional damaging capabilities. Both the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Thunder|tome}} and [[fireemblemwiki:Fire (tome)|Fire tome]]s can disrupt opponents, rack up damage, and open up windows to chain attacks together. {{B|Thunder|Robin}} and the slightly stronger Elthunder peppers at mid-range or shorter, while Arcthunder travels for longer and has trapping capabilities for pressure, combos, and set-ups, and Thoron pierces through opponents and deals considerable knockback. [[Arcfire]] produces a trapping, multiple-hitting pillar of flame that is instrumental for approaching or disrupting [[approach]]es, pressuring, and chaining together attacks. In addition to the Fire tome, Robin's neutral attack involves the [[fireemblemwiki:Wind (tome)|Wind tome]]: the former tome generates a singular explosion of fire magic that deals strong diagonal knockback. In contrast, the latter tome generates a neutral infinite consisting of wind magic that deals serious damage and concludes with a blast of wind magic that deals strong vertical knockback. [[Elwind]] provides respectable vertical recovery, and its first hit can be used to punish aerial and post-recovery opponents by spiking them at point-blank range with the first hit. Lastly, [[Nosferatu]] is a self-healing move that heals Robin, especially if cast from behind and while having a higher damage percentage than his opponent. At the same time, it cannot be shielded because it functions like a grab. However, it is tricky to use, as the opponent must be at almost point-blank range to land it, although Arcthunder's trapping ability can help Robin land it easier, and it grants full-body [[Intangibility|intangibility]].

Aside from using tomes, Robin's Levin Sword is a potent weapon in its own right. It is a powerful, fairly long-ranged, and electrically charged sword that functions as a terrific offensive tool due to its excellent pressure capabilities, impressive combo potential, and high KO power. Robin whips this out for his smash and directional aerial attacks when a smash input is inputted, and for neutral aerial when the Levin Sword is already in use. It can be swung eight times before it breaks. Robin's down smash with the Levin Sword has good ledge trapping potential, as it can hit hanging opponents, and the electric shockwaves cover both sides of Robin. Despite being vastly inferior to the Levin Sword in terms of KO potential, the Bronze Sword has combo potential due to its weaker knockback. His neutral aerial covers both front and back sides successively, which can be useful for spacing in the air, and is his most effective [[Out of shield|out of shield]] option. His down tilt can keep grounded opponents away from him.

Once Robin's tomes are depleted and the Levin Sword is broken, they can act as throwable items that deal immense damage, shieldstun and knockback. Properly managing Robin's discarded weapons is crucial for optimal play, as the opportunities they can potentially grant are significant. Outside of his magic and sword attacks, Robin has two useful throws: back throw is a viable KOing option near the edge that can combo into Thoron to get early K.Os, while down throw is a reliable combo starter.

However, as previously stated, Robin has several weaknesses, such as being the second-slowest runner in the game. Furthermore, Robin lacks defensive options and has trouble brushing off opponents, especially those who are directly beneath, making Robin susceptible to rush-downs and juggles. Robin’s tilts generally have a short range, making it difficult for Robin to fight at mid-range outside of the use of tomes. Many moves, specifically smash attacks and special attacks, have significant ending lag, which leaves Robin wide open for punishment following his execution. His forward smash, though extremely strong, has a very limited range, sometimes misses fighters when they crouch, and is also extremely laggy. Down smash is a strong move with great range; however, the range is limited, as the farthest part is also one of the weakest. Up smash is a strong move with considerably less endlag compared to his other smash attacks. It has a mediocre range, and an even worse range while using the Bronze Sword, whereas Robin is unable even to hit fighters standing next to him.

Lastly, Robin's durability mechanic can severely weaken Robin once he starts to lose the tomes or the Levin Sword. Losing the Levin Sword gives him pathetic K.O. power despite the Bronze Sword's respectable combo game. Losing [[Thunder (Robin)|Thunder]] removes one of his only zoning options, as well as losing combo potential. Losing Arcfire costs Robin damage output and even more combo potential. Losing Nosferatu reduces Robin's survivability, especially given his average weight. Losing Elwind is the worst case for Robin, as his [[double jump]] is merely average, leaving Robin effectively helpless while recovering should he be launched too far offstage without Elwind available. 

Overall, Robin is a tactically based character with varied spacing, damage-accumulating, and KO options that must be used wisely and opportunistically. At the same time, the lack of mobile and defensive options leaves Robin vulnerable to pressure and combos. With this, Robin players must keep track of their weapons' durability, respond intelligently to opponents, and take precise offensive action to succeed in battle.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Robin has been given a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to ''Ultimate'', with both buffs and nerfs being of equal weight. While he benefits from a considerably improved advantage, the faster pace of ''Ultimate'' and the miscellaneous nerfs to some of his tools make it more difficult to capitalize on this. Collectively, it is hard to determine whether Robin was buffed or nerfed overall.

Several of Robin's attacks have reduced lag or increased KO power, while most of his formerly situational attacks are more effective due to altered hitboxes: [[up tilt]] now has grounded hitboxes, and [[up smash]] has much better horizontal reach above Robin, significantly improving their reliability. [[Neutral aerial]] can now use the Levin Sword, giving it much better utility and better edgeguarding capabilities. Robin's [[neutral attack]], a staple in his [[neutral game]], also fares significantly better due to several improvements with its consistency; the Elwind infinite connects significantly better, and the Arcfire finisher transitions earlier while using half the durability it used to in ''SSB4''.

Robin's special moves have been heavily revamped. Except for the uncharged version, all versions of {{b|Thunder|Robin}} hit much harder and now function as effective KO moves, especially Thoron; the move can now also be [[charge-cancel]]ed by jumping. [[Arcfire]] is much harder to escape from and travels much farther, making it even more effective for combo initiating. [[Elwind]] can have its trajectory significantly altered, grants more distance, recharges faster, and pushes opponents if the wind blades hit the ground. Finally, [[Nosferatu]] has slightly more range, heals and deals damage faster, and has fewer uses; this also allows it to generate a used tome much faster.

However, Robin's nerfs are also notable. The biggest change is to the Levin Sword, which Robin no longer starts with at the start of the match, forcing several seconds of downtime before the Levin Sword is usable. Robin's most effective tools have also been nerfed: Arcthunder's significantly lower looping duration now prevents follow-ups unless initiated at a distance, Elwind has fewer uses, and down throw has increased knockback, reducing the percentage range in which combos (such as the "Checkmate", a down throw to up aerial) can be performed. Arcfire's fire pillar now possesses a hitbox that can cancel other moves. At the same time, this allows it to cancel other projectiles and gives it use at counterzoning; the fact that any other hitbox can cancel it makes it less reliable for ledge-trapping under some circumstances.

Universal changes to gameplay mechanics are a mixed bag for Robin, but have hurt him overall. The universal reduction to [[landing lag]] now creates safer landing options (especially with the Levin Sword's high shieldstun), and the streamlined jumpsquats allow Robin to take advantage of his extremely powerful aerials faster. The changes to [[air dodge]]s now make it easier for Robin to pressure the opponent through his powerful projectiles and sword attacks, and the introduction of directional air dodges gives Robin an emergency recovery option if he lacks Elwind. However, Robin is significantly harmed by the universal increases to mobility; despite sporting faster mobility like the rest of the cast, Robin's own mobility hasn't seen an improvement notable enough to allow him to catch up to other characters, still being one of the slowest characters in terms of grounded mobility unless he resorts to fox-trotting. As a result, and because other veterans are moving faster, it is now easier to overwhelm Robin, while his tools don't allow him to handle pressure.

Overall, Robin's playstyle, while largely unchanged from ''SSB4'', has been improved, allowing him to play to his strengths more easily, and many of his worst issues have been addressed. However, his worsened down throw combos have removed his previously guaranteed KO setup, forcing Robin to find other setup methods to KO the opponent, though thanks to Arcfire's utility, this isn't as big of an issue. That said, Robin still has some of his former flaws, such as difficulty escaping pressure, a few awkward hitboxes, and mediocre grounded mobility. The latter issue is especially prevalent due to the faster pace of ''Ultimate'', which brings the extent of many of Robin's buffs into question; the game's engine now prioritizes faster, more aggressive playstyles, and the prevalence of fast characters has caused Robin's powerful neutral game and disadvantage state to be worse than before. Overall, Robin's changes have not significantly improved his standing; he performs worse relative to the cast in ''Ultimate'' than in ''SSB4''.

==Update history==
Robin received a mix of buffs, nerfs and a single glitch fix via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall. Update 2.0.0 made [[Elwind]] safer for recovering by shortening its edge lockout time when it is used backwards. Update 3.0.0 decreased the shield damage outputs of {{b|Thunder|Robin}}, Elthunder and [[Arcfire]] as part of a near-universal nerf to projectiles. 

However, update 6.0.0 provided a number of useful buffs for Robin. The most notable ones were to Thunder and Arcfire: the former had its charge times sped up significantly, whereas the latter gained significantly more active frames. As a result, Robin's respectable zoning ability and trapping potential were improved by a fairly noticeable degree. This update also granted Robin a few quality of life buffs: forward tilt's higher base knockback improved its spacing potential, neutral aerial's overall lag was decreased (which also improved it as a follow-up from down throw), and the Levin Sword's durability will replenish slightly faster upon using the Bronze Sword for smash attacks. 

Update 9.0.0 granted [[transcendent priority]] to neutral infinite's finisher as part of a near-universal buff, while update 13.0.1 improved neutral infinite's damage racking potential and range.

Overall, Robin fares slightly better than he did at the launch of ''Ultimate'', although not enough to change his position in the metagame.

==Moveset==
*The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Bronze Sword}} has very minimal KO potential due to dealing low damage and significantly low knockback. It also has unimpressive reach, shorter-lasting hits, and minimal [[freeze frame]]s. However, its weak strength enables it to combo somewhat effectively, especially at higher percents. Conversely, the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Levin Sword}} has significantly greater KO potential, due to it dealing significantly more damage and knockback. In addition to dealing [[electric]] damage, it has a greater [[reach]] than the Bronze Sword, freeze frames and a lingering hitbox, the latter of which deals less damage if it hits late.
*Robin cannot immediately use the Levin Sword: its durability must reach maximum capacity before being used. This only occurs at the beginning of the match.
*Robin's tilt attacks solely use the Bronze Sword, while smash attacks use the Levin Sword, provided that it is not broken. All aerials can use either sword - if Robin tilts a direction in midair, the Bronze Sword will be used, but if Robin taps a direction like a smash attack, the Levin Sword will be used instead.
**Robin can now also use the Levin Sword for a neutral aerial by pressing the attack button and the special move button simultaneously. However, this only works if the player has the A+B Smash Attack control option enabled.
**If the player has smash attacks mapped to their C-Stick and the Levin Sword is available, Robin will always use the Levin Sword for aerials if the C-Stick is used for the attack direction, as the game still reads the input as a smash attack despite Robin being in midair. If the C-Stick is mapped to tilt attacks, then using the C-Stick while in midair will always use the Bronze Sword (unless the Levin Sword was brought out beforehand, in which case it will need to be put away and the Bronze Sword brought out- see below).
*After using the Levin Sword for any attack, Robin will continue to use it for all directional aerial attacks until it either breaks, or Robin uses an attack that resets the current sword to the Bronze Sword (i.e. neutral attack, tilt attacks, dash attack, floor attacks, and edge attack).
*KOing opponents will speed up the recharging time for all of Robin's weapons.
**Using smash-inputted aerials and smash attacks will speed up the recharging time for the Levin Sword.

|neutral1dmg=2%
|neutral2dmg=1.5%
|neutral3dmg=5% (Arcfire finisher)
|neutralinfdmg=0.9% (Elwind loop), 2% (Elwind final hit)
|neutraldesc=An upward slash followed by a downward slash. The move can then proceed to a third finishing hit or into a neutral infinite, depending on whether the attack button is held or button mashed. The former is a fiery explosion, and the latter is a barrage of blade-shaped blasts of wind magic that hits multiple times and ends with a more powerful blast that launches the opponent directly upwards. Both of these third hits have very high knockback for neutral attacks, and are viable KO options starting from around 130%. However, using one drains the durability of the Arcfire or Elwind tome, respectively, with the neutral infinite draining more durability the longer it is sustained. If the wind tome is depleted, Robin will always use the fire third hit regardless of how it is inputted, while if the Arcfire tome is depleted, inputting a gentleman jab will result in a lack of third hit and the player will have to input correctly if they want the wind neutral infinite. If both are depleted, Robin will only be able to use the first two sword slashes.
|ftiltname=Front Hack ({{ja|フロントハック|Furonto Hakku}})
|ftiltdmg=7.5%
|ftiltdesc=An outward turning, downward slash. A weak, though decent spacing option. As it shifts Robin's hurtbox quite a bit before striking, it has deceptive range; additionally, the hitbox is almost as big as {{SSBU|Cloud}}'s forward tilt. However, the lack of reward makes its utlity quite rare, with neutral attack being a much safer and more effective grounded punish, especially since its finishers have KO potential.
|utiltname=Upper Swing ({{ja|アッパースイング|Appā Suingu}})
|utiltdmg=6%
|utiltdesc=An inward turning, upward slash. Its arc is rather generous, making it useful for catching jumps if an opponent is close by. At low percents, it is able to combo into itself.
|dtiltname=Leg Cutter ({{ja|レッグカッター|Reggu Kattā}})
|dtiltdmg=6%
|dtiltdesc=A crouching, outward slash. Short ranged but very quick and is a decent combo starter, allowing for followups such as dash attack.
|dashname=Short Stab ({{ja|ショートスタッブ|Shōto Stabbu}})
|dashdmg=10% (clean), 6% (late)
|dashdesc=Slides forward, thrusting the Bronze Sword at a low angle. Low range but causes Robin to dash forward slightly, making it one of his few decent burst options. It is also decently powerful, and can KO near the ledge at high percents.
|fsmashname=Neck Striker ({{ja|ネックストライカー|Nekku Sutoraikā}})
|fsmashdmg=Bronze: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9.6}} <br/>Levin: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (late)
|fsmashdesc=An underhanded outward thrust. A powerful KO option; with the Levin Sword, it also possesses a lingering hitbox. The clean hit can KO rather early, while the late hit, though much weaker, is capable of KOing around 165% from the center of Final Destination.
|usmashname=Rising Thrust ({{ja|ライジングスラスト|Raijing Surasuto}})<br>Spinning Sword ({{ja|スピニングソード|Supuingu Sōdo}})
|usmashdmg=Bronze: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9}} <br/>Levin: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (early), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (late)
|usmashdesc=The animation differs depending on the sword that is used: if it is the Bronze Sword, Robin thrusts it upward. If it is the Levin Sword, Robin will gesture upwards with the Levin Sword, which causes it to levitate out of his hand, twirling backwards from Robin's facing direction once before he catches it. The Levin Sword's sweetspot hitbox lasts for the duration of it twirling upwards and has great coverage, capable of hitting opponents on the ground and behind Robin. The Levin Sword's sourspot is smaller, but has very high active frames (16 frames), making it overall good against aerial opponents. In contrast, the Bronze Sword version is unremarkable, and functions similar to a very weak version of {{SSBU|Hero}}'s up smash.
|dsmashname=Earth Knock ({{ja|アースノック|Āsu Nokku}})<br>Earth Shocker ({{ja|アースショッカー|Āsu Shokkā}})
|dsmashdmg=Bronze: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8}} <br/>Levin: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (late)
|dsmashdesc=Kneels and strikes the floor via a slash with the equipped sword. The Levin Sword generates brief sparks on both sides of Robin, which can hit opponents even after getting up, thus warding off punishment attempts on either side. It can also break a full shield if fully charged and all of its hitboxes connect. The Bronze Sword is significantly weaker and lacks the sparks, meaning it can only hit in front of Robin. However, it does send at a very low angle, making it a good punish option at the ledge.
|nairname=Double Chop ({{ja|ダブルチョップ|Daburu Choppu}})
|nairdmg=Bronze: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6.9}} <br/>Levin: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|11.5}}
|nairdesc=An inward slash forwards, followed by an outward slash backward. If the special move and attack button are pressed (provided the A+B control setting is turned on), Robin will switch to the Levin Sword. The Levin Sword version of this move deals increased damage and covers both sides with increased range, but it cannot autocancel in a short hop. Unlike in ''SSB4'', using neutral air will not put away the Levin Sword. The Levin Sword version is generally useful in most situations thanks to its range and damage, and has uses in both early-percent combos and offstage KOs.
|fairname=Air Upper Swing ({{ja|エアアッパースイング|Ea Appā Suingu}})
|fairdmg=Bronze: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.5}} <br/>Levin:{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12.5}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|fairdesc=An upward swipe. Because of its arc, it is good for ground-to-air transitioning as it can easily reach grounded opponents. Outside of edgeguards, it has very poor KO potential with the Bronze Sword, but its knockback makes it easy to combo with, usually into itself, or other aerials. The Levin version also has combo potential, being able to combo into other aerials at low percents such as neutral aerial and another forward aerial when SHFF'd, while at high percents it is excellent for KOing due to its strong knockback and diagonal angle.
|bairname=Backhand Slash  ({{ja|バックハンドスラッシュ|Bakkuhando Surasshu}})
|bairdmg=Bronze: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} <br/>Levin: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|15}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|bairdesc=A backward thrust. Fast, but has a somewhat narrow hitbox which can make landing it awkward, though it still autocancels from a short hop. The Levin variant is one of the most powerful back aerials in the game, being able to KO middleweights under 80% at the ledge of Final Destination. It can hit a few frames after ending while using the Levin Sword, with the vertical launch angle of the late hit allowing for combos into another Levin aerial such as up aerial or another back aerial. Strongly resembles sword animations for the Cavalier and Paladin classes throughout the ''Fire Emblem'' series.
|uairname=Arc Slash ({{ja|アークスラッシュ|Āku Surasshu}})
|uairdmg=Bronze: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.8}} <br/>Levin: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|uairdesc=An upward overhead slash. It is a great juggling option with the Bronze Sword due to its low knockback and large arc, while it is one of Robin's most effective aerials with the Levin Sword due to its massive range and KO potential. It has lingering hitboxes with the Levin Sword and can combo into itself and neutral aerial at low percents when SHFF'd. When inputting a short hop aerial up air using a full tilt of the control stick, the game will interpret this as a smash input, and Robin will always switch to his Levin Sword if it is available.
|dairname=Under Cut ({{ja|アンダーカット|Andā Katto}})
|dairdmg=Bronze: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.2}} <br/>Levin: {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|11}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (late)
|dairdesc=A downward slash. It also hits slightly in front of Robin. The sweet spot in the middle of the Levin Sword can [[meteor smash]] while it is swung down, while the Bronze Sword cannot meteor smash at all. The move has a lingering hitbox in both of its versions, with the lingering hit of the Bronze version sending lower than the Levin version, which gives both versions a niche use for edgeguarding. Has high landing lag (16 frames).
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=Wraps the opponent in a whirling stream of magic. The grab's range is visualized by a halo. This halo enlargens when Robin successfully grabs an opponent. Pivot grab has great range, and Robin has one of the best roll cancel grabs in the game, allowing them to cover a large distance when mastered. On the other hand, all of his grabs are notably slow for their range, especially dash and pivot grab; this makes his grab very punishable and risky to perform out of shield.
|pummelname=Grab Force Attack ({{ja|つかみフォースアタック|Tsukami Fōsu Atakku}})
|pummeldmg=1.5%
|pummeldesc=A point-blank burst of magic. It is unique compared to other pummels, having more power than pummels like {{SSBU|Mario}} but less than others like {{SSBU|Bowser}}, and its electric effect makes it much slower than most other pummels barring {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. As a result, it is arguably the worst pummel in the game overall.
|fthrowname=Force Kinesis ({{ja|フォースキネシス|Fōsu Kineshisu}})
|fthrowdmg=8%
|fthrowdesc=Magically shoves the opponent forward. Has moderate base knockback but very low knockback scaling, and it is unable to KO at any realistic percent. This makes it more suited for sending opponents offstage.
|bthrowname=Reverse Kinesis ({{ja|リバースキネシス|Ribāsu Kineshisu}})
|bthrowdmg=11%
|bthrowdesc=Turns around and magically tosses the opponent backward. Robin's strongest throw, with very high base knockback and decently high knockback growth. However, its angle makes it susceptible to DI, with optimal DI making it survivable at 150% near the edge of Battlefield.
|uthrowname=Launch Kinesis ({{ja|ローンチキネシス|Rōnchi Kineshisu}})
|uthrowdmg=9%
|uthrowdesc=Magically heaves the opponent upwards. Niche compared to Robin's other throws due to its ending lag and high base knockback; it can set up situational aerial juggles, but otherwise has little use.
|dthrowname=Pressure Kinesis ({{ja|プレッシャーキネシス|Puressha Kineshisu}})
|dthrowdmg=6%
|dthrowdesc=Magically slams the opponent onto the ground, launching them vertically upward. Its knockback growth is high for a down throw, which allows for KOs below 200%. It is also Robin's primary combo throw and can set up for highly damaging one-two combos, though its follow-ups are not guaranteed. Combo include up tilt at low percents, neutral aerial at mid percents, and up aerial at high percents.
|floorfname= 
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Swipes forward with the Bronze Sword, then backward.
|floorbname= 
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Same as frontal floor attack, but strikes backward first.
|floortname= 
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Same as back floor attack.
|edgename= 
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Performs a thrust with the Bronze Sword while climbing up.
|nspage=Thunder_(Robin)
|nsname=Thunder
|nsdmg=5.5% (Thunder), 11% (Elthunder), 6% (Arcthunder, hit 1), 2.4% (Arcthunder, looping hits), 8% (Archthunder, finisher), 2.6% (Thoron)
|nsdesc=Robin casts [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (magic)|thunder magic]] from a [[fireemblemwiki:Thunder (tome)|Thunder tome]]. It is a chargeable projectile with distinct properties for each charge level:
*Thunder is produced when the move is uncharged. It is a small, weak, and very short-ranged projectile, but it is very fast and can catch approaching opponents off-guard, allowing for a follow-up attack. Can combo into dash attack or aerials at high percents, which can lead into KO combos.
*{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Elthunder}} is produced after a brief charge. It is a small, fast projectile that traverses the entire stage, with decent damage and knockback. While not a viable KO option on its own before extreme percents, its knockback can be powerful enough to finish off opponents recovering offstage.
*{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Arcthunder}} is produced after a more lengthy charge. Unlike the previous levels, Arcthunder is initially quite slow, but it accelerates over time. It explodes in a small X-shape on contact with an opponent or hitbox, dealing multiple hits and significant knockback, KOing at 120% from the edge of Final Destination. It also has use as a combo starter if it connects at a distance.
*{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Thoron}} is produced at full charge. It is a massive energy beam long enough to cover the entire stage, dealing multiple hits to anyone caught in it and KOing at 90% from the edge of Final Destination. However, it has an extremely long startup and endlag (especially in the air), and if Robin is hit before releasing the beam, the charge will be lost. Despite acting like a projectile, Thoron's hitbox is connected to Robin, and the entirety of the beam will move with Robin's movements if used in the air.
|ssname=Arcfire
|ssdmg=2% (hit 1), 1.2% (hits 2-8), 4% (final explosion)
|ssdesc=Robin casts [[fireemblemwiki:Fire (magic)|fire magic]] from an [[fireemblemwiki:Arcfire|Arcfire tome]]. It creates a tiny fireball that travels diagonally downward from above Robin’s head and bursts into a pillar of flame on impact with an opponent or shield. Opponents trapped in the flame pillar take multiple hits and are pushed slightly upwards, and when the pillar expires, it explodes, dealing a fair amount of upward knockback. It is primarily useful for disrupting approaches and capitalizing on the opponent's reaction, while it can also be used for edgeguarding, either by directly attacking the opponent or covering the edge as they attempt to grab it. However, if the initial fireball meets any hitbox from the opponent, the fireball will dissipate without detonating. Can combo and kill-confirm into various attacks if timed properly, and it can also be used to set up footstooling, which can then lead to tech chase.
|usname=Elwind
|usdmg=5% (first blade), 7% (second blade)
|usdesc=Robin casts [[fireemblemwiki:Wind (magic)|wind magic]] downward twice from the [[fireemblemwiki:Elwind|Elwind tome]], which propels Robin a great distance upwards before making him [[helpless]]. Elwind's projectiles can also be angled, allowing for a great horizontal recovery as well as vertical. If used when the Elwind tome has 2 durability units remaining, Robin will only cast one wind blade, providing significantly less momentum. If used while fully depleted, Robin will not generate any wind blades nor go helpless, but will gain a short upward boost, slightly improving the chance of survival. Although difficult to use as an attack, the first wind blade has a [[meteor smash]] effect on the first few frames, and both blades generate a small [[push]] effect on impact with the ground.
|dsname=Nosferatu
|dsdmg=2% (loop)
|dsdesc=Robin casts {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Nosferatu}} on a nearby opponent to drain their health and heal Robin, while also dealing damage to other nearby opponents. This acts as a [[command grab]] and will bypass shields. The healing increases in power the more damage Robin has compared to the opponent, healing upwards of 40% if the difference is over 100. The healing power also increases if used on an opponent facing away from Robin. Nosferatu only has three uses before it runs out of durability; this can be used in Robin's advantage to easily create a throwable tome. If Nosferatu connects in midair, Robin will become helpless once the move ends.
|fsname=Pair Up
|fsdmg=2% (trapping hit), 3% (initial hit), 1.3% (hits 2-21), 18% (final hit)
|fsdesc=Summons {{SSBU|Chrom}} via [[fireemblemwiki:Warp (staff)|warp magic]] to [[fireemblemwiki:Pair Up|pair up]] and attack. Chrom slashes the opponent upward into the air and then he and Robin relentlessly attack the opponent, with Chrom repeatedly slashing with his {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}}, while Robin casts thunder and fire magic, including {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Bolganone}}. After they finish their barrage, they perform a final simultaneous strike that spikes the opponent to the ground, which deals enough recoil to launch them towards the upper blast line. Upon successful use, all of Robin's weapons (including the ones that have yet to break) will have their durability restored.

===Durability system===
[[File:Robin SSBU Skill Preview Extra 1.png|thumb|Robin using [[Arcfire]] and the tome's durability meter depleting upon being used, as shown via [[Move List]].]]
Robin has a unique [[fighter ability]]: true to the ''Fire Emblem'' series, where items break after being used too many times, Robin's tomes and Levin Sword do the same if they are used too often. If Robin attempts to use an attack that uses durability-affected weaponry and is interrupted by an attack while attempting to use it, then that will count as one use of the weapon, even if no damaging hitbox is produced. Robin always carries the last tome and sword that was used in each hand, provided their durability has not depleted. The amount of remaining durability is displayed in the form of a bar that appears above his icon on the HUD. Once a depleted weapon is restored, a unique animation of the weapon appearing in one hand with a flash of light will start, provided that Robin is standing completely still; tomes appear in the left hand while holding it up in the air, while the Levin Sword reappears in the right hand while flicking it like one of Robin’s idle poses. These poses can be canceled, similarly to taunts.

If Robin fully depletes a weapon, it will be tossed backward, hitting any opponents before it disappears. In the case where Robin is sent flying by knockback immediately after depleting a weapon, the used weapon will be dropped on the ground before Robin is knocked back. They disappear almost immediately after hitting the ground once, but they can also be picked up and thrown. The Levin Sword deals 15% when smash thrown, while the tomes deal 12.3% when smash thrown, making both attacks decent surprise KOing options due to their high base knockback. The discarded weapons can also lock if Z-dropped on an opponent.

If Robin does not have the proper tome for a given special move and tries to perform it, Robin will perform the animation but will not produce any hitboxes. For the Levin Sword, all such attacks will instead use the Bronze Sword, which cannot break, but has a shorter range, deals considerably less damage and knockback, and also lacks the Levin Sword's lingering electrical hitboxes.

Weapons restore gradually after they have been depleted, which is displayed as the meter refilling its units. When Robin scores a KO, it reduces the respawn timer for all currently-regenerating weapons by a small amount. Alternatively, aerials and smash attacks will hasten the respawn time for the Levin Sword.

Durability points for weapons do not replenish while Robin is using a tome, and the only way to replenish a weapon is to get a new copy of it. Respawning after being KO'd also has all of the weapons replenished, as does [[Pair Up]], though only if it is used successfully.

===[[Taunt]]s===
*'''Up Taunt''': Points the currently held sword upward. Male Robin says "Let's tip the scales!" ({{ja|戦局を変える.|Senkyoku wo kaeru.}}, ''I'll change the state of war''.), while female Robin says, "Time to tip the scales!" ({{ja|戦局を変えます.|Senkyoku wo kaemasu.}}, ''I'll change the state of war''.). The timing of this taunt is different depending on whether Robin is facing left or right, though it is interruptible at the same time either way.
*'''Side Taunt''': Magically suspends the active sword and tome in the air, rotates the sword in place and flips through the tome's pages using magic, and says, "Prepare yourself!" In Japanese, male Robin says {{ja|覚悟はいいかい?|Kakugo wa ī kai?}}, (''Are you prepared?''), while female Robin says {{ja|覚悟はいいですか?|Kakugo wa ī desu ka?}}, (''Are you prepared?'')
*'''Down Taunt''': Magically encircles themself with the active sword and tome before pointing their hand towards the camera. Male Robin says "You're not ready!" ({{ja|やってやるさ.|Yatte yaru sa.}}, ''Let's do it then.''), while female Robin says, "Here I go!" ({{ja|いきますよ!|Ikimasu yo!}}, ''Let us go!'')

===[[Victory pose]]s===
*'''Left:''' Generates flames with a wave of their hands, then spreads out the free arm. Male Robin says "The key to victory lies within." ("{{ja|勝利の秘策はここにある|Shōri no hisaku wa koko ni aru.}}, ''The secret to victory is here.''). Female Robin says "Ha! Checkmate." ("{{ja|私の策にはまりましたね!|Watashi no saku ni hamari mashi ta ne!}}, ''According to plan!'').
**If Lucina is present after a match, male Robin sometimes says "Lucina, I hope I didn't hurt you." ("{{ja|ルキナ、痛くなかったかい?|Rukina, itaku nakatta kai?}}, ''Lucina, are you hurt?''). If this quote plays, male Robin will not generate flames from his hands. This quote is rather glitchy, as it can play even if Lucina does not participate in a match.
*'''Up:''' Crosses arms with weapons in hand, then spins clockwise and swings the Levin Sword. Male Robin says "I'm always three steps ahead." ("{{ja|常に三手先を考えるんだ。|Tsune ni san tesaki wo kangaerun da.}}", ''I always think three steps ahead.''). Female Robin says "A good tactician has nothing to fear." ("{{ja|戦略を練れば、恐るるに足りません。|Senryaku wo nereba, osore ruru ni tari masen.}}, ''If you have a strategy, there is nothing to fear.'').
*'''Right:''' Faces the screen while back to back with {{SSBU|Chrom}}, before turning around posing with their weapons. Male Robin says "It seems our fates are joined." ("{{ja|僕たちは互いに絆で結ばれているんだ。|Bokutachi wa tagai ni kizuna de musubarete irun da.}}, ''We are bonded by mutual ties.''). Female Robin says "I've got your back." ("{{ja|私が、あなたの半身になります。|Watashi ga, anata no hanshin ni nari masu.}}, ''I'll be your other half.'').
**If Lucina is present after a match, female Robin sometimes says "How can you protect Chrom if you can't protect yourself?" ("{{ja|そんなことじゃ、クロムさんを守れませんよ!|Sonna koto ja, Kuromu-san wo mamore masen yo!}}, ''You can't protect Chrom like that!'').
**If Robin's [[Pair Up|Final Smash]] has been used during the match, Chrom will sometimes say "My strength is yours!" ({{ja|お前は俺が守る!|Omae wa ore ga mamoru!}}, ''I'll protect you!''), the same quote Chrom shouts when a unit pairs up with him in ''Awakening''.

===Most historically significant players===
<!--This character has a ten player limit for this section. Before adding and/or removing a player, read these guidelines: https://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Notability#%22Most_historically_significant_players%22_guidelines -->

''See also: [[:Category:Robin players (SSBU)]]''

*{{Sm|Juuuuul|USA}} - The first Robin player with any noteworthy results at majors, and as such, was the best Robin player in the early metagame. He defeated many of the [[Tristate Area]]'s best players in early ''Ultimate'', including {{Sm|LeoN}} at {{Trn|Player's Ball Ultimate}} and {{Sm|Mr. E}} at {{Trn|Return to Yoshi's Island}}. At majors, he placed 13th at {{Trn|Suplex City Smash}} and {{Trn|Defend the North 2019}}, which remained the untied best placements for a Robin player at a major event for several years afterwards. He became inactive in 2020.
*{{Sm|Leaf|Japan|p=Japan}} - The greatest Robin player of all time, debuting in the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic|pandemic]] metagame. His breakout performance was at {{Trn|DELTA 5}}, where he placed 13th and upset {{Sm|Zackray}}, the best Robin performance in ''Ultimate'' at that time. Since then, Leaf has achieved performances that no other Robin player has been able to match, including becoming the only Robin player to place top 8 at a major, doing so by placing 5th at {{Trn|Umebura SP 12}}, in addition to placing placing 3rd at {{Trn|DELTA 7.5}}, 7th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 56}}, and 17th at {{Trn|DELTA 8}} defeating {{Sm|Maister}} and {{Sm|BassMage}}. He is the only Robin player to rank in the top 100, ranking 62nd on [[LumiRank 2024.1]].
*{{Sm|morrocoYo|Venezuela}} - The best Robin player in South America, and one of Venezuela's best players, winning several of South America's largest events including {{Trn|Stone Ocean 7}} and {{Trn|Smash Cup 24}}. Outside of Venezuela, he has also placed 49th at the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Last Chance Qualifier}}. He was ranked as an honorable mention for the 101st-150th positions on the [[LumiRank 2023]] and [[UltRank 2025]] due to having no major appearances, thereby becoming the first Robin player to be recognized on a global ranking on the former.
*{{Sm|Synergy|USA}} - Active since the early metagame and was considered the best Robin player in the early years of the post-pandemic metagame, notably placing 17th at the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Last Chance Qualifier}} and 25th at both {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}} and {{Trn|CEO 2021}}, achieving a win over {{Sm|Jake}} in the former event. Since then, he remains one of the best in North America, notably placing 33rd at {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}} and defeating {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes BIG Moves 2024}}.

===Tier placement and history===
Despite being buffed during the transition from ''Smash 4'', Robin remained a relatively unpopular character for most of competitive play, due to his lackluster speed, weak defensive options, and the weapon durability system. As such, Robin was often overlooked for other characters who did his job better, and despite efforts from players such as {{Sm|Jul}} in the early metagame, Robin's representation in the metagame remained rather small, and only decreased further following Jul's inactivity.

Currently, there are a few notable Robin players who perform well regionally, including {{Sm|morrocoYo}}, who dominates competitive ''Ultimate'' in Venezuela; {{Sm|Leaf|p=Japan}}, who has a few notable major placements; and {{Sm|Whisky}}, who regularly places well at Mexican events. However, both morrocoYo and Whisky have limited national-level appearances, while Leaf's results remain inconsistent. As such, opinions on Robin have largely remained the same since the early metagame, which was reflected in Robin's placement on the first tier list, where he is ranked 62nd as a lower-mid tier. He then dropped further to 67th on the second tier list in the D+ tier and retained this position for the third, although tier restructuring technically made him rise into the C- tier.

===Appearances in other Classic Mode routes===
Robin appears as an opponent and/or ally in certain other fighters' Classic Mode routes, with them being listed below:

*''{{SSBU|Dark Samus}}''
*{{SSBU|Lucina}}
*''{{SSBU|Chrom}}''
*{{SSBU|Isabelle}}
*{{SSBU|Hero}}
*'''''{{SSBU|Byleth}}'''''
*{{SSBU|Sora}}

<small>''Italics'' denotes an appearance as an ally. '''''Bold italics''''' denotes appearances as both an opponent and ally.</small>

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-56Robin.jpg|thumb|Finding Robin in World of Light|left]]
Although neither male nor female of Robin appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

Male Robin was one of the many fighters that fell under [[Dharkon]]'s control upon Galeem's first defeat. He can be found in the {{b|Dracula's Castle|World of Light}} sub-area as the last fighter to be awakened aside from {{SSBU|Richter}} before confronting [[Dracula]]; a ghost blocks Robin on the ladder below, and if {{SSBU|Wario}} had been previously awakened by rotating the lever blocking him, said lever must be switched back to its original orientation for the cannon to ricochet off and destroy the ghost.

==[[Spirit]]s==
Male Robin's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Robin. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Robin has been unlocked. Unlocking Robin in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Female Robin also has a fighter spirit of her own, only available through the shop. Unlike most fighters, the spirits for Robin only use their artwork from ''Ultimate'', rather than also having alternative artwork from a previous appearance.

==Trivia==
<!--Do not add trivia about how male Robin and Richter are both voiced by David Vincent in English. We don't do voice actor trivia unless it's directly referenced or relevant to Smash (like Chrom and Yusuke having the same English and Japanese voice actors, which is referenced in Smash by having the former represent the latter in his spirit battle).-->
*Despite now being a playable character, {{SSBU|Chrom}} still appears in [[Pair Up]] and Robin's victory poses, even if Chrom is in the fight with Robin.
**This makes Robin one of two characters who have a separate playable character in one of their victory poses, the other being {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} (with {{SSBU|Mario}} appearing in one of its victory poses).
*Robin is the only character with no attacks that fall under the [[physical]] supertype, with all of Robin's moves being of only the following [[type]]s: {{b|Sword|type}}, {{b|Magic|type}}, [[Throwing]], and [[Typeless]]. This makes Robin the only character with no moves that can be buffed by the "Physical Attack ↑" [[Spirit#Attack Skills|Spirit]] effect.
*The cover of Robin's Thunder tome will change to match its current level of charge.<ref>https://twitter.com/ssb4_Mr_II/status/1077724198389178368</ref>
*When Robin uses Thoron, he will become immune to tripping from attacks that don't use the [[slip]] effect (such as {{SSBU|Wario}}'s uncharged [[Wario Waft]] or [[Banana Peel]]s), even if the attack has a 100% trip chance (e.g. {{mvsub|Pichu|SSBU|forward tilt|poss=y}}). The only way to re-enable tripping is to [[respawn]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/1Archmage/status/1580993179767406594 @1Archmage showcasing untrippable Robin]</ref> This also happens with Kirby's [[Copy Ability]], even if the Copy Ability disappears.
*Both of Robin's fighter spirits are two of only 11 fighter spirits in the game to use their in-game render for their spirit artwork instead of original artwork from their game. The other characters are both male and female [[Pokémon Trainer]], both male and female [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Cloud]]'s alternate costume from ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', all three [[Mii Fighter]]s, and [[Kazuya]]. 
*Both the thigh armor and leg warmers around Robin's boots appear to vanish when looked at from the inside completely.<ref>[https://imgur.com/UOy0hLa]</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/TpiMCV0]</ref> This oddity was not present in either gender's ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' in-game models or on their official ''Ultimate'' artworks.
*In [[Sound Test]], most characters with male and female [[alternate costume]]s have two identical [[announcer]] voice clips, as placeholders to accommodate for languages with gendered nouns (for example, {{SSBU|Inkling}} in Spanish is "Inkling chica" for female costumes and "Inkling chico" for male costumes). Unusually, Robin also has two announcer voice clips, even though their name is the same between genders in all languages. Furthermore, {{SSBU|Corrin}} and {{SSBU|Byleth}} each have only one voice clip, so this is unique to Robin.
*Robin is the only character who travels to [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] in Classic Mode.
*Coincidentally, the Robin puppet fighters' appearance in World of Light highly resembles future Robin's appearance when possessed by {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Grima|character}} in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', especially the ones who are affiliated with Galeem, complete with red eyes.
