Elwind (Japanese:エルウインドElwind) is awind 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 is a superior version of the basicWind tome which strikes the foe with powerful blade-like blasts of wind.

It is the second "stage" of the hierarchy of wind magic, requiring a higherweapon level to use than Wind, and is the wind counterpart toElfire andElthunder. It is itself surpassed by the more advanced and powerfulArcwind andTornado/Rexcalibur tomes.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U

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

Elwind isRobin'sup special move inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U. The move acts as Robin'srecovery move; Robin fires blade-shaped blasts of Elwind downward beneath them, propelling themselves upward as the blasts damage anyone they hit, dealing 5% damage each. Elwind is also used as a finisher for Robin'sneutral attack if the player keeps rapidly pressing the attack button during it, finishing the combo with a flurry of small Elwind blades which quickly rack up damage.

Like all of Robin's weapons, Elwind - both as an up special move and as part of Robin's neutral attack - is governed by an emulation of theFire Emblemdurability system. It begins a match with 9 durability points, which are subtracted from until it runs out, at which point Elwind "breaks" and must be left to recharge for 6 seconds before it can be used again, during which the move will fail if the player attempts to use it. Each use of Elwind, whether it be the up special or the neutral attack, consumes one durability point.

As with all special moves inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andWii U, Elwind 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.

• Soaring Elwind (Japanese:変則エルウインドIrregular Elwind) reduces the height Robin is carried with the first blast, but the second carries them significantly higher, greatly boosting their recovery.
• Gliding Elwind (Japanese:スラントエルウインドSlant Elwind) casts the first blast at a 45 degree angle below Robin, greatly improving their horizontal recovery, then fires the second blast at the normal straight-up angle. Both blasts deal less damage.

Fire Emblem Cipher

Elwind is present as a skill on two cards inFire Emblem Cipher:S02-005ST Little Mage, Ricken. It is a manual-activation skill which, for a cost of flipping 1 bond card, adds the common "Anti-Fliers" skill to Ricken until the end of the turn, temporarily giving him an effective bonus of +30 to his attack power when fighting flying-type cards.
