Robin-thunder

Robin's Neutral Special, Thunder.

Thunder is one of three Anima elemental tomes Robin has, and it's Robin's Neutral Special Move. It is used for four different spells (Thunder, Elthunder, Arcthunder and Thoron), depending on how much time the player charges it. Thunder tome has a value of 20 durability (based on Thunder spell uses being 20) and respawns after roughly 9 seconds. However, its durability can be "surpassed". If the player has used up to 19 of its durability value, he still can charge it for a Thoron spell, making the Thunder tome worth effectively 27 uses in this way. .

Thunder

Thunder has a value of 1 tome use. Robin throws a small ball of electricity, which does minor damage and travels a short distance.

Thunder damage: 3%

Elthunder

Robin-elthunder

Thunder charged up becomes Elthunder

Elthunder has a value of 3 tome uses. It's a charged-up version of Thunder, where Robin shoots a bigger bolt of electricity for more damage and knockback.

Elthunder damage: 9%

Arcthunder

Robin-arcthunder

Elthunder charged up becomes Arcthunder

Arcthunder has a value of 5 tome uses. It's a version of Thunder that's been more charged-up than Elthunder. Robin throws a ball of lightning forward, which will temporarily stun enemies upon hitting them, similar to Zero Suit Samus' Paralyzer.

Arcthunder damage: 10% (hits around 8 times).

Thoron

Robin-thoron

Thunder charged up to its fullest becomes Thoron.

Thoron has a value of 8 tome uses. It comes out when Thunder is charged to its maximum point. Robin unleashes a giant blast of lightning, which will damage enemies and go across the stage. When it reaches a certain distance, it will end and anyone caught in it will be knocked back. Thoron can be extended by holding down the button when unleashing it. This will increase its length, causing it to hit more times and thus, deal more damage.

Standard Thoron damage: 10% (5 hits.). Extended Thoron damage: around 19% (7 hits).
