Elwind (エルウインド) is Robin's Up Special Move. Robin fires two blasts of wind downward that lift him up and deal damage to anyone below him.
Overview
Robin shoots two blasts of wind downward, damaging anyone in the way while pushing himself upward. The first Elwind blast gives a decent height, while the second blast causes vertical knockback gives the most lift to Robin. If the first Elwind hits while touching Robin's lower half, a Meteor Smash will occur.
Like all of their tomes, however, it can only be used a certain amount of times. Wind tome has a durability value of 18 uses. However, this tome's durability is also decreased whenever Robin uses his rapid jab combo, and that may cause the durability to decrease to an odd number, which means he'll only be able to shoot one blast of wind. The tome respawns after roughly 5 seconds.
Elwind should only be used for recovery, never for attack. If it is used to attack opponents, Robin will be left helpless and can be easily punished, and on top of that Robin will find themselves without a recovery from having used it too much as an attack.
Elwind damage: 5% on first hit, 5% on second hit. If hitting at the start of the first attack, it Meteor Smashes and deals 7%.
