Elwind (エルウインド, Elwind) is Robin's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
When Robin uses this move, Robin casts two gusts of Wind magic in the form of green-wind cutting waves to attack any opponents below him/her while propelling himself upward, serving as a recovery move. Each gust of wind inflicts 5% damage and the first shot is capable of meteor smashing, but it can also be reflected. It also changes Robin's active Tome to Elwind if not already in use.
Like with all of Robin's tome moves, if the wind tome's durability is used up, Robin will toss the tome away, and being unable to cast the spell with any real effect other than the animation. A cooldown period of 6 seconds (the same time of his/her Levin Sword) will occur where after the time passes, Robin will replace the tome and is able to cast Elwind again.
Customization
Customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. Elwind has two variations:
- Soaring Elwind: The first gust of wind doesn't propel Robin very far, but the second gust pushes Robin a great distance upward, greatly increasing Robin's vertical recovery.
- Gliding Elwind: Shoots out the first gust of Wind magic at an angle, and the second straight up. Gives Robin an increased horizontal recovery. Both gusts of wind inflict less damage, with 3% damage each.
Origin
The El- series is the second rank of anima Tomes in the Fire Emblem series, after the basic Tomes. Elwind, as its name implies, is the wind variant.
