Robin (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Robin received a mix of buffs, nerfs and a single glitch fix via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall. Update 2.0.0 made [[Elwind]] safer for recovering by shortening its edge lockout time when it is used backwards. Update 3.0.0 decreased the shield damage outputs of {{b|Thunder|Robin}}, Elthunder and [[Arcfire]] as part of a near-universal nerf to projectiles. However, update 6.0.0 provided a number of useful buffs for Robin. The most notable ones were to Thunder and Arcfire: the former had its charge times sped up significantly, whereas the latter gained a much longer duration. As a result, Robin's respectable zoning ability and trapping potential were improved by a fairly noticeable degree.

This update also granted Robin a few quality of life buffs: forward tilt's higher knockback improved its spacing potential, neutral aerial's overall lag was decreased (which also improved it as a follow-up from down throw), and the Levin Sword will now recharge slightly faster when using the Bronze Sword for smash attacks. Update 9.0.0 granted [[transcendent priority]] to neutral infinite's finisher as part of a near-universal buff, while update 13.0.1 improved neutral infinite's damage racking potential and range.

Overall, Robin fares mildly better than he did at the launch of ''Ultimate'', although not enough to change his position in the metagame.
