Special Moves
 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Needle Storm 	1.9% (near) or 1.2% (far) per needle, 6 needles max	Sheik accumulates up to six needles that can be stored and released immediately or later. If thrown in the air, the needles travel at approximately a 45 degree angle.
Alternate 1 	Midnight Containment	2% (each hit) 	Sheik briefly plays her harp as a dark aura appears in front of her. If the aura touches opponents, they’re caught in it, damaged as if they’re being drained, and sent back.
Alternate 2 	Paralyzing Needle 	1% 	A single needle that can stun an opponent. Has significant ending lag.
Side Special 	Burst Grenade 	1% (hit), 1% (pull), 12% (explosion) 	Sheik throws a grenade on a string. On detonation, it creates a small area that pulls opponents towards it, then explodes. The detonation can be delayed a second by holding the special attack button. Grenade can be thrown a further distance when Sheik is in the air or when thrown over an edge.
Alternate 1 	Gravity Grenade 	3.58% 	Upon detonation, the grenade does not pull enemies into it, but the explosion knocks opponents towards Sheik. This allows for numerous options like gimps and an up smash confirm.
Alternate 2 	Skimming Grenade 	2% (hits 1-3), 4.6% (explosion) 	The grenade bounces on the ground with a time delay before exploding.
Up Special 	Vanish 	12% (vanish), 5% (reappear) 	After a short delay, Sheik vanishes in a puff of smoke, reappearing nearby in a controlled direction. The vanish hitbox has high knockback, able to KO at high percentages. The reappearance hitbox has much weaker knockback, but can push shielded opponents who are in the location that Shiek reappears in.
Alternate 1 	Gale 	 	Sheik vanishes and reappears faster while traveling a further distance, with the loss of a vanishing and reappearing hitbox.
Alternate 2 	Abyss 	5% (vanish), 4% (travel) 	There is no longer a short vertical movement before Sheik's vanish and it will meteor smash for the entire duration of the vanish. However, the distance travelled is shorter and her pathway during it is visible.
Down Special 	Bouncing Fish 	12% 	Sheik flips forward a moderate distance and kicks the opponent. If her feet connect with an opponent, she will flip back a small distance and land on her feet. She can kick up to three times if the preceding kicks connect. Upon a miss, she lands on her back and stands up. Strong knockback and one of her best KO moves. Also drastically improves her off-stage recovery as vanish can be used immediately afterwards.
Alternate 1 	Shadow Drive 	9%, 7% (late) 	The bottom portion of Sheik’s body becomes shrouded in a dark aura as she boosts forward legs first similar to Captain Falcon’s Falcon kick but doesn’t have as much range or power. The ending lag is also much, much less. Can be used into air and Sheik can also recover using it and attack right out of it.
Alternate 2 	Pisces 	15.5% 	Sheik's flip is faster and more shallow, which requires pressing the attack button in order to kick if the attack is used while standing on the ground. If the hit lands, she will flip a short distance forward and will launch opponents backwards while dealing more knockback. It can't be used more than once before landing on the ground.
Final Smash 	Uprooting Note 	16% (full growing loop), 38% (explosion) 	Sheik begins to play her harp as large tree structures appear from the ground around her trapping enemies. As she plays her harp, the trees get larger and larger until she plays the last string causing the trees to condense and explode sending the trapped opponents flying.
