Robin

Robin is a character from the Fire Emblem series, who made his debut in Fire Emblem: Awakening as the customisable player avatar, and one of the game's main protagonists alongside Chrom and Lucina. He appears as a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, as a male and female variation.

Unlike other Fire Emblem characters in Super Smash Bros., Robin not only uses a sword but also magic attacks. All of Robin's moves also operate on Fire Emblem's durability mechanic; if an attack is used enough times, it "breaks", and can no longer be used until a cooldown period passes. Robin's smash and air attacks all use a Levin Sword (using its Fire Emblem: Awakening appearance), which can only be used eight times before it is replaced by a weaker Bronze Sword once it breaks; the Bronze Sword is also used for all of Robin's other non-special attacks.

Robin's special moves all use various tomes. His neutral special move is Thunder, which fires a bolt of lightning that can be charged. His side special is Arcfire, which creates a pillar of fire in front of Robin. His up special is Elwind, in which Robin sends out wind to boost up into the air while damaging enemies. Finally, his down special is Nosferatu, which damages enemies while healing Robin. Robin's Final Smash is Pair Up, which summons Chrom to his side to repeatedly attack opponents.
