'''Water''' is an attack [[type]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that encompasses water-based attacks. There is also an effect that is also known as '''Water'''. The type and effect are entirely separate: for example, a move can be [[Weapon]]-type with a Water effect, Water-type with a [[Battering]] effect, or even Water-type with a Water effect. Targets hit by Water attacks will flash blue and emit a small shock-wave surrounded by water droplets.

Water-type attacks (but not attacks with a water effect) are boosted by Water Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]].

Moves with a water effect are affected by [[type effectiveness]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''; that is, they deal 1.1x [[knockback]] to {{SSBB|Charizard}} and 0.9x knockback to {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. Additionally, [[Blue Pikmin]] are immune to attacks with a water effect. Like all effects, [[enemies]] and [[boss]]es in ''Brawl''{{'}}s The Subspace Emissary each have their own damage multiplier for moves with a water effect. 

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the water type is no longer used, although the water effect continues to be.  It is not currently known whether the water type returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Water attacks and the Primary [[Spirit]] skill Water Attack ↑ and the Support Spirit trait Water & Ice Attack ↑ as well as certain [[Spirit Battle]] [[conditions]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', water attacks are resisted by the Spirit skill or trait Water/Freezing Resist ↑ and deal more damage to fighters equipped with a Primary Spirit with the trait Water Weakness.

Out of all the effects in ''Brawl'', water is one of the most useful in the [[Subspace Emissary]]—it deals extra damage to fire-based enemies, some mechanical enemies (particularly the [[R.O.B. Squad]]), and about half of the bosses.

==Trivia==
*There are no stickers that provide resistance to water-effect attacks, meaning that unless [[Normal|Battering]]-resistance stickers cover both effects (seeing as they use some of the same visual effects), Hydro Jyks are the only enemy whose attack cannot be guarded against by stickers.
*Despite appearances, the [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon [[Oshawott]]'s Surf and the [[WarioWare, Inc.]] microgame Kitty Cover's rain do not inflict water damage. Additionally, the [[drowning]] damage taken by characters such as {{SSBU|Sonic}} and {{SSBU|Incineroar}} in ''Ultimate'' is not water damage.
