The '''Daybreak''' ({{ja|ジェネシス|Jeneshisu}}, ''Genesis'') is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''==

Similar to the [[Dragoon]], it is an item in three parts - the player must collect all three parts of the item in order to use the complete weapon. When assembled, it becomes a large, heavy shooting weapon item. Its control scheme is similar to that of the [[Cracker Launcher]] from ''Brawl'': Tilt a direction to walk, tap a direction to dash, and tap the opposite direction to turn around. However, unlike the Cracker Launcher, the Daybreak cannot be aimed up or down, as it only shoots straight ahead. Characters carrying the Daybreak can only move, jump (but not [[midair jump]]), and fire the weapon; attempts to drop or throw it will fire the beam instead. When fired, it charges for a brief moment before firing a single beam that deals about 57% damage if all hits connect. The beam ignores [[shield]]s, can knock away opponents behind the user when the blast is active, and has potential KO power to those it hits directly in its line of fire to the end. Those hit may survive if they have low enough damage and are far away enough from the blast line, but may still end up too far to actually recover. Glancing hits deal less damage, but the knockback can still be enough to prevent recovery. The final hit of the beam causes the [[ping]] sound effect.

Notably, the Daybreak uses the [[Aura]] effect, but the damage output from a character stays the same regardless of how much damage they have.

:{{Flag|North America}} ''A weapon of great and terrible power. The name Daybreak might sound pretty cheerful, but in truth this weapon is destructive enough to doom the world. Unable to be used until all three parts are assembled, it's best to keep this out of your opponent's hands...''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Its name might sound all bright and happy, but in truth this weapon is so destructive that it can plunge the whole world into darkness. Before you can use it, you have to assemble its three parts, but once you do, victory will be yours for the taking!''

==Origin==

The Daybreak appears in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'' as a weapon in Together Mode. It is heavily inspired by the Dragoon from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''; one player must collect all three parts to use its single-shot one-hit KO power, and being defeated causes collected parts to be dropped into play. One difference from the Dragoon is that, in Light vs. Dark mode, the parts do not all have to be collected by a single team member; whoever collects the last part for their team will be granted the weapon; this difference carries over into ''Smash 4''.
