Overview

Robin fires a blast of dark magic from his hand which reaches a small distance. Anyone caught in it will be trapped and repeatedly damaged. This move can be used to heal Robin, too.

Nosferatu spell damage: 15% if held completely.

Heal percentage: 12%-13% if the enemy is caught until the end of the attack animation. 16% if hitting the enemy from behind. Additionally, it heals more if Robin's percentage is much higher than the opponent's.
