Ike becomes invincible and swings his sword in front of him; anybody who he hits is sent upward. He then leaps into the air after the sent character(s) and yells "Great...AETHER!!" while slashing the target(s) seven times with his sword aflame, after which he kicks them twice, slashes them four more times, and knocks them downward with a powerful finishing blow, similar to {{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Triforce Slash]]. Upon impact with the ground, a large explosion knocks away the trapped character(s) and any character that happens to be too close. The [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!|DOJO!!]] described the move as a more powerful version of [[Aether]]. | Ike becomes invincible and swings his sword in front of him; anybody who he hits is sent upward.

The attack does up to 74% | The attack does up to 74% {{GameIcon|SSBB}}/60% {{GameIcon|SSB4}}/53% {{GameIcon|SSBU}} damage. The initial hit deals 5% in every game and is followed up by Ike throwing Ragnell towards the opponent(s), which (depending on how close the are to Ike and their position on stage) will deal 10% {{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}/3% {{GameIcon|SSBU}}. Ike will the unleash a series of slashes and kicks which deal 2% and 3% depending on the game and hit, with the last slash always dealing 5%. Ike and the opponents(s) then fall, dealing 5% {{GameIcon|SSBB}}/4% {{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}} before landing with an explosion for 12% {{GameIcon|SSBB}}/10% {{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}. Because the knockback from the explosion is vertical, opponents may not be KO'd immediately due to the high blast lines on some stages. In most cases, however, the move does provide significant knockback to launch enemies off the screen. It usually KOs around 35% {{GameIcon|SSBB}}/15% {{GameIcon|SSB4}}/40% {{GameIcon|SSBU}}. | ||
Multiple enemies can be picked up in this attack and, although Ike is invincible during this move, Ike's victims can be attacked by other players along the way down. The move elevates Ike to the highest point on the stage and typically takes place in the center of the stage. Due to the fact that Ike moves to the center of the stage when this move activates, on some [[custom stage]]s the downswing can be somewhat of a [[Sacrificial KO]]. As a result, Ike moves to the side instead of the exact center when using the move on stages like [[Gaur Plain]] and [[Midgar]] (after Odin's slash). | Multiple enemies can be picked up in this attack and, although Ike is invincible during this move, Ike's victims can be attacked by other players along the way down.

|desc=Ike's Final Smash--a powered-up version of his signature move, Aether. Ike faces a foe and swings his sword up for a hit, then tosses his sword into the air, performs multiple nasty strikes, and finally unleashes a mighty overhand blow to send his opponent plummeting down. It's a very impressive sight, but if Ike misses with the first upward swing, he can't use the move. | |desc=Ike's Final Smash--a powered-up version of his signature move, Aether.

Oddly, this move has never been seen before in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, although it may be inspired by several elements of Ike's story. Aside from {{s|fireemblemwiki|Aether}} being Ike's mastery skill in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn}}'', it could be based on the final blow Ike deals to the goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}} in the end of ''Radiant Dawn''. For this attack, Ike uses the power of the goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Yune}} to finish Ashera off, which wraps him in radiant blue fire and is the basis of the title given to Ike in the game's epilogue ("Radiant Hero" in English material, "Hero of Blue Flames" in Japanese; both come from the title of ''Path of Radiance'' in their respective language). The actual attack finishes with a downward plunge at Ashera, which is similar to the final hit of Great Aether. While the fires of Great Aether are regularly colored in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' changed them to be blue to match ''Radiant Dawn''. | Oddly, this move has never been seen before in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, although it may be inspired by several elements of Ike's story.

''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' has followed similar naming conventions to Great Aether when introducing upgraded versions, such as Radiant Aether for Ike's "Legendary" variant. These upgraded skills are exclusive to each Ike variant and cannot be inherited to other units. | ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' has followed similar naming conventions to Great Aether when introducing upgraded versions, such as Radiant Aether for Ike's "Legendary" variant.

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Great Aether}} would eventually make its way back to the series in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Engage}}'' as Emblem Ike's Engage Attack. However, instead of being a series of attacks before hitting the ground, the animation is more like his normal Aether before sending a massive shockwave that lifts rocks from the ground. | |||

*When Ike first appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]], he uses a regular Aether on the [[Ancient Minister]] to destroy the [[Subspace Bomb]] that he is carrying. However, in the English language version of the cutscene, he yells out "Great Aether" instead of "Aether". This is because the voice clip of "Aether" in Japanese is split in two parts between the characters (天空 ''Tenkū'') and the extra word was used to fill the line. (The word "Aether" in English also has two syllables, but it arguably would not split as well.) | *When Ike first appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]], he uses a regular Aether on the [[Ancient Minister]] to destroy the [[Subspace Bomb]] that he is carrying.

*In ''Brawl'', while using this final smash, Ike and the opponent will slowly rise upward.
