Elthunder (Japanese:エルサンダーElthunder) is athunder tome which debuted inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, appearing only in games which feature the three separate anima magic types of fire, thunder and wind. It acts as the second "stage" of the hierarchy of thunder magic, as a counterpart toElfire andElwind; it is superior to the basicThunder tome but requires a higherweapon level to use, and in turn it is surpassed by the more advanced and powerfulArcthunder andThoron tomes.

 | This article or section is a short summary of Elthunder. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article. |
Elthunder is part ofRobin'sneutral special move,Thunder, inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U. When charged up for certain periods of time, it will become a stronger thunder spell when released. Elthunder is the second charging stage, achieved when charged up long enough for the electric aura surrounding Robin to turn yellow: it behaves as a slower, more powerful version of Thunder, sending a ball of lightning forward which inflicts 9% damage.
Elthunder's functionality and power is altered slightly when cast through Robin'salternate neutral special moves: Thunder+'s Elthunder has greater knockback, while Speed Thunder's Elthunder is smaller and travels the width of theFinal Destination stage. As per Robin'sdurability mechanic, a successful Elthunder consumes 3 durability points (or 2.5 if the alternate special move is Thunder+).
