 | This article or section is a short summary of the Killing Edge. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article. |
The Killing Edge appears as an item inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. If the holder attacks while the sword is glowing their damage and launch power will increase twofold,[1] emulating the concept of acritical hit, which the Killing Edge is famous for. It is unclear which exact Killing Edge incarnation this appearance is based on, though it is most similar to itsAwakening appearance. If the player successfully scores a hit while the sword is glowing the landing a critical hit sound effect from theGame Boy Advance titles can be heard. Severalspirits can give a fighter a Killing Edge at the start of a match, including theNavarre andLon'qu spirits.
