This article or section is a short summary of Arcfire. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article.

Arcfire isRobin'sside special move inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U. Described by directorMasahiro Sakurai as "⁠[calling] down a bolt of flame from above, then [launching] a pillar of fire".^[1] Arcfire is also used as a finisher for Robin'sneutral attack if the player doesn't keep pressing the attack button during it, finishing the combo with an explosion.

Like all of Robin's weapons, Arcfire – both as a side special move and as part of Robin's neutral attack – is governed by an emulation of theFire Emblemdurability system. It begins a match with 6 durability points, which are subtracted from until it runs out, at which point Arcfire "breaks" and must be left to recharge for 10 seconds before it can be used again, during which the move will fail if the player attempts to use it. Each use of Arcfire, whether it be the side special or the neutral attack, consumes one durability point.

As with all special moves inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U (aside from those used by DLC characters), Arcfire has two alternate variations which can be applied to Robin ascustomization options. These moves are found at random and collected during the course of the game's other modes, such asClassic Mode andSmash Run. The standard variant of Arcfire functions very similarly toNess'sPK Fire move, with its variant Arcfire+ functioning similarly toLucas's PK Fire.

• Arcfire+ (Japanese:エクスプロージョンExplosion) is slower to cast, but in exchange deals a single, large and powerful explosion.
• Fire Wall (Japanese:ファイアーウォールFirewall) casts a tall pillar of flame which is useful for guarding against incoming attacks.
