Robin appears as a newcomer in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Players can choose either the male or female models of the character, based on the default appearances for both genders in the Tactician class. They use tomes of various elements (Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Darkness) along with a {{s|fireemblemwiki|Levin Sword}}. Their tomes and Levin Sword have a limited amount of uses before they break, reminiscent of the durability system in the ''Fire Emblem'' series; they will recharge after a certain amount of time has passed. If the Levin Sword breaks, they use an unbreakable {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bronze Sword}} instead. | Robin appears as a newcomer in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

On the current [[tier list]], Robin places 37th out of 55, at the bottom of D tier (tied with {{SSB4|Samus}}). The various tomes at Robin's disposal allow for a strong zoning game, which also grant versatility for use in many different situations. The Levin Sword is also quite powerful, possessing generally high knockback, especially with up aerial. Although the durability system implemented into the tomes and Levin Sword temporarily disable some of Robin's attacks, the sword and tomes themselves can be picked up before they disappear and used as strong projectiles. However, Robin's main weakness is poor mobility, having the slowest running speed out of all fighters. They also have mediocre defensive games, which combined with their poor speed, can leave them open to assaults at close range, especially by fast characters. Overall, Robin has garnered some notable players, though only has average tournament results. | On the current [[tier list]], Robin places 37th out of 55, at the bottom of D tier (tied with {{SSB4|Samus}}).
