## **Character Info**

Robin was found one day lying in a field with no recollection of who they were by Chrom and the Shepherds. Though some questioned how much Robin could be trusted, they soon proved their worth as both a fighter and a master tactician and over time they would herd the Shepherds to victory. But just what are Robin’s mysterious connections to Validar and the Grimleal? And why does this masked individual called “Marth” seem to distrust Robin so much?

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

A glyph of light magic appears on the stage as an off-screen Warp Staff is used to warp Robin onto the stage.

### **Kirby Hat**

Male Robin’s white hair will sit atop Kirby’s head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Robin will swing their sword in front of them before pointing it straight up in the air. Male Robin will say “Let’s tip the scales!” while Female Robin says a slightly different quote, “Time to tip the scales!”

**Down Taunt:** Robin will face towards the screen as his sword and tome leave his hands and spiral in front of him as Robin waves his arm in a circle. Male Robin will say “You’re not ready!” while Female Robin will say “Here I go!”

**Side Taunt:** Robin will levitate their sword and tome up out of their hands. Robin’s sword will spin in the air and spark with electricity if it's the Levin Sword while their tome will flip through several pages as particle effects matching Robin’s last used Special Move will fly out of the pages. Both Robins will say, “Prepare yourself!”

### **Victory Poses**

1. Male Robin will wave his hand in front of him before thrusting it off to the side as fire trails from his hand and is fired off in the end as Male Robin says, “The key to victory lies within.” Female Robin will instead have lightning trail from her hand and say, “Ha! Checkmate” with the rest of the animation playing the same. If Chrom was an opponent then both Robins may instead say, “Did I hurt you, Chrom?”
2. With sword in one hand and tome in the other, Robin will cross their arms in front of them before spinning in place and swinging the Levin Sword. Male Robin will say “I’m always three steps ahead.” while Female Robin will say “A good tactician has nothing to fear.”
3. Robin will stand back to back with their child Morgan (opposite gender of the player Robin) before both turn to look towards the screen and hold their tomes aloft in matching poses. Male Robin will say, “It seems our fates are joined” while Female Robin will say, “I’ve got your back.” If Lucina was an opponent then both Robins may instead say, “How can you protect Chrom if you can’t protect yourself?” If Robin’s Final Smash was used during the match then Morgan will say, “I’m with you!” Morgan will only say this if the quote for Lucina was not said.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Thunder:** Robin will pull out their Thunder Tome and charge up some electricity in their hand to be fired out for an attack. This attack can be used in four different states depending on the charge. These states are:

* **Thunder** - A small and weak ball of thunder will fire out from Robin’s hand for a very short distance. This thunder ball moves very fast though allowing for Robin to catch fighters off guard who might think they are charging up for a more powerful attack. Thunder will consume 1 unit of Durability.
* **Elthunder** - After charging the Thunder Tome a short amount, the attack turns into Elthunder which causes another small fast ball of electricity to fly from Robin’s hand much farther than the base Thunder. Elthunder will consume 3 units of Durability.
* **Arcthunder** - After further charge, a slower thunder ball will fly from Robin’s hand at a much slower speed than the others. This Arcthunder however does get faster over time and deals the most damage of Robin’s four electric-based attacks. Additionally if Arcthunder makes contact it will explode in a small X-shape which can deal multiple hits of damage to whatever it struck and nearby targets as well. Arcthunder will consume 5 units of Durability.
* **Thoron** - At maximum charge, Robin will no longer fling a mere ball of electricity and will instead unleash a beam of lightning which travels across the screen with great speed. Thoron will pierce through opponents and obstacles damaging anything in its path with the trade-off of an extremely long startup and endlag giving opponents a chance to interrupt Robin’s attack and stop it from happening. Thoron will consume 8 units of Durability.

### **Side Special**

**Arcfire:** Robin will pull out their Arcfire Tome and send a small fireball flying downwards at a diagonal angle starting from above Robin’s head. When Arcfire makes contact with something, fighter or otherwise, it will burst up into a pillar of flame dealing multiple hits of damage to anything caught in it and pushing them upwards through the pillar as the attack goes. At the end, the pillar will expire and explode dealing upwards knockback to anything in its flames. If Arcfire was the last special that Robin used, then Robin’s third neutral attack will end with a burst of fire magic with additional damage and knockback. Arcfire will consume 3.3 units of Durability while the Fire-enhanced neutral attack will consume 1.67 units of Durability.

### **Up Special**

**Elwind:** Robin will pull out their Elwind Tome and point their palm downward as they let loose a blade of wind energy towards the ground. Doing this will propel Robin a great distance up into the air and by tilting the control stick the blade of wind can be fired at a different angle which also propels Robin in a different direction. This wind blade has a meteor smash effect on its first few frames and also comes with a small push effect when impacting with the ground. If Robin has the durability for it, they will actually fire out two blades of wind, one after the another, which can allow for Robin to travel in some interesting trajectories by tilting the control stick. If Robin only has enough durability for one wind blade then that’s all that will be generated. If Robin’s Elwind Tome has no more durability then he’ll just jump a short distance into the air. If Elwind was the last special that Robin used, then Robin’s neutral infinite will come with additional wind damage with each hit. Elwind will consume 2 units of Durability per wind blade while the Wind-enhanced neutral attack will consume 2 units of Durability per second.

### **Down Special**

**Nosferatu:** Robin will pull out their Nosferatu Tome and gesture forwards with it as dark mist appears in front of Robin. If an opponent is in the mist they will be trapped as it deals multiple hits of damage to them while at the same time healing Robin of a portion of that damage. The amount that Robin heals increases based on how much more damage Robin currently has compared to the opponent Nosferatu is being used on. This caps out at Robin healing 40% damage if the damage difference between Robin and their opponent is 100% or more. The healing is also increased if Robin was able to use Nosferatu on an opponent who was facing away from them. Nosferau will consume 6.67 units of Durability.

### **Final Smash**

**Pair Up:** Robin will shout, “Morgan!” as their child Morgan (female is Robin is male, male if Robin is female) will be summoned next to Robin via Warp magic. Morgan will appear wielding their own Levin Sword and shout “Incoming foe!” before dashing forwards in a straight line. If Morgan makes contact with an opponent they’ll swing their Levin Sword at them and knock the opponent up into the air where Morgan will leap to join them followed quickly by Robin. At this point Robin and Morgan will fly around the opponent and attack them as they go with Robin alternating between Fire and Wind magic while Morgan uses the Levin Sword. When the two of them have finished their magical barrage they will perform one final strike together that spikes the opponent to the ground, dealing enough recoil to potentially launch them back up into the air and beyond the upper blast line.

If you are playing a Stock or Stamina match and use this Final Smash to deal the final blow to your last remaining opponent, then the victory animation with Morgan in it will be guaranteed to play. In this event the quote that Morgan says will actually change to, “One step close to achieving my dreams!”

### **Extra Skill**

**Hammerne:** Robin will pull out the Hammerne Staff and slam it against the ground as it shines with brilliant azure light. When this move is performed the durability of all of Robin’s Tomes and Levin Sword will be completely restored to max and if any of them were destroyed then they will be instantly restored back to max as well. Robin can only use Hammerne once per stock as the staff breaks upon use.

### **Unique Traits**

Robin’s Levin Sword and Tomes all work on a durability system. Each weapon has 20 units in their Durability meters with each attack consuming their own amount of durability. When a Tome’s durability is depleted that Tome will not be available to Robin until it has recharged. The Thunder Tome and Arcfire Tome take 10 seconds to recharge, Elwind takes 4 seconds, and Nosferatu takes 30 seconds. When the Levin Sword’s durability is depleted, Robin will instead wield a Bronze Sword for a short time until their Levin Sword is recharged. The Levin Sword takes 6 seconds to recharge.

Kirby will also use the durability mechanics when he’s copied Robin’s Thunder special. When Kirby runs out of durability his Copy will end.
