Aura is an attack effect in the Super Smash Bros. series that debuted in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Characters hit by an aura attack temporarily emit blue flame-like energy.
Aura attacks are boosted by Aura Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary and the Support Spirit skill Aura Attack ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Aura attacks are resisted by the Support Spirit skill Aura Resist ↑ in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The effect is separate from Lucario's Aura. Aura attacks used by fighters other than Lucario do not scale with their damage.
