Timing

The move uses up one unit of iron, out of three Steve starts each stock with, and a maximum of 100 units shared with dirt, wood, and stone. It fails if used with no iron left, or if an anvil from a previous use is still active.

Attack (success)

The timings below are when the anvil does not land on the ground. The move resets Steve's horizontal momentum when initiated, then causes him to stand on top of the anvil when it is generated, which falls straight down using its own physics. Steve is considered to be grounded while on the anvil, and can perform grounded actions on it after the animation fully plays out; he can also use it to restore his air dodge or double jump, but the latter only if he does not jump cancel the move.

Landing

The anvil is active on the ground for 90 additional frames after the landing lag period. If landing without Steve on top, it is only active for that 90-frame period.
