Robin’s dashing speed is the second slowest in the game, and their walking speed is very slow. Outside of these attributes, Robin's other traits are typical of a middleweight; their air speed, traction, falling speed, and gravity are all average. However, Robin's air acceleration is above average. As a result of these attributes, Robin has difficulty chasing foes and fleeing from them at the same time, though their oddly decent aerial mobility compensates this to a degree. | ||
Robin's tomes provide a myriad of spacing, pressuring, and additional damaging capabilities. Both the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Thunder|tome}} and [[fireemblemwiki:Fire (tome)|Fire tome]]s can disrupt opponents, rack up damage, and open up windows to chain attacks together. {{B|Thunder|Robin}} and the slightly stronger Elthunder peppers at mid-range or shorter, while Arcthunder travels for longer and has trapping capabilities for pressure, combos and set-ups, and Thoron pierces through opponents and deals considerable knockback. [[Arcfire]] produces a trapping, multiple hitting pillar of flame that is instrumental for approaching or disrupting [[approach]]es, pressuring, and chaining together attacks. In addition to the Fire tome, Robin's neutral attack involves the [[fireemblemwiki:Wind (tome)|Wind tome]]: the former tome generates a singular explosion of fire magic that deals strong diagonal knockback, while the latter tome generates a neutral infinite consisting of wind magic that deals high damage and concludes with a blast of wind magic that deals strong vertical knockback. [[Elwind]] provides respectable vertical recovery and its first hit can be used to punish aerial and post-recovery opponents by spiking them at point-blank with the first hit. Lastly, [[Nosferatu]] is a self-healing move which heals Robin, especially if cast from behind and while having a higher damage percentage than his opponent, while it also cannot be shielded due to functioning like a grab. However, it is tricky to use, as the opponent must be at almost point-blank range to land it, although Arcthunder's trapping ability can help Robin land it easier, and it grants full-body [[Intangibility|intangibility]]. | Robin's tomes provide a myriad of spacing, pressuring, and additional damaging capabilities.

It is a powerful, fairly long-ranged, and electrically-charged sword that functions as a terrific offensive tool due to its excellent pressure capabilities, its impressive combo potential and its high KO power. Robin whips this out for their smash and directional aerial attacks when a smash input is inputted, and for neutral aerial when the Levin Sword is already in use. It can be swung eight times before it breaks. Robin's down smash with the Levin Sword has good ledge trapping potential, as it can hit hanging opponents and the electric shockwaves cover both sides of Robin. Despite being vastly inferior to the Levin Sword in regards to KO potential, the Bronze Sword has combo potential due to its weaker knockback. Their neutral aerial covers both front and back sides successively, which can be useful for spacing in the air, and is their most effective [[Out of shield|out of shield]] option. Their down tilt can keep away grounded opponents in front of them. | ||
Once Robin's tomes are depleted and the Levin Sword is broken, they can act as throwable items that deal immense damage, shieldstun and knockback. Properly managing Robin's discarded weapons is crucial for optimal play, as the opportunities they can potentially grant are significant. Outside of his magic and sword attacks, Robin has two useful throws: back throw is a viable KOing option near the edge | Once Robin's tomes are depleted and the Levin Sword is broken, they can act as throwable items that deal immense damage, shieldstun and knockback. Properly managing Robin's discarded weapons is crucial for optimal play, as the opportunities they can potentially grant are significant. Outside of his magic and sword attacks, Robin has two useful throws: back throw is a viable KOing option near the edge, while down throw is a reliable combo starter. | ||
However, as previously stated, Robin suffers from numerous weaknesses, such as being the second slowest runner in the game. Furthermore, Robin lacks defensive options and has trouble brushing off opponents, especially those who are directly beneath, making Robin susceptible to rush-downs and juggles. Robin’s tilts generally have short range, making it difficult for Robin to fight at mid-range outside of the use of tomes. Many moves, specifically smash attacks and special attacks, have significant ending lag, which leaves Robin wide open for punishment proceeding | However, as previously stated, Robin suffers from numerous weaknesses, such as being the second slowest runner in the game.

Robin’s tilts generally have short range, making it difficult for Robin to fight at mid-range outside of the use of tomes. Many moves, specifically smash attacks and special attacks, have significant ending lag, which leaves Robin wide open for punishment proceeding their execution. Elwind leaves them vulnerable and interceptable after use, and when not properly managed or kept track of, can run out at critical times. Lastly, Robin's durability mechanic limits offensive options when either the Levin Sword or tomes are exhausted. | ||
Overall, Robin is a tactically-based character with varied spacing, damage-accumulating and KO options that must be used wisely and opportunely. At the same time, the lack of mobile and defensive options leave Robin vulnerable to pressure and combos. With this, Robin players must keep track of their weapons' durability, intelligently respond to their opponents, and take precise offensive action for success in battle. | |||

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | ||
Robin has been given a mix of buffs and nerfs | Robin has been given a mix of buffs and nerfs from the transition to ''Ultimate'', but has been buffed overall. The universal reduction to [[landing lag]] now creates safer landing options (especially with the Levin Sword's high shield stun), and the universal 3-frame jump squat allows Robin to take advantage of his extremely powerful aerials. | ||
Several of | Several of his attacks have reduced lag or increased KO power, while most of his formerly situational attacks are more effective due to altered hitboxes: [[up tilt]] now has grounded hitboxes, and [[up smash]] has much better horizontal reach above Robin, significantly improving their reliability. [[Neutral aerial]] can now use the Levin Sword, giving it much better utility. Robin's [[neutral attack]], a staple in the [[neutral game]], also fares significantly better due to the improvements to neutral attacks, with the first two hits now being capable of [[lock]]ing; the Elwind infinite connects significantly better, and the Arcfire finisher transitions earlier while using half the durability it used to in ''SSB4''. | ||
Robin's special moves have been heavily revamped. With the exception of the uncharged version, all versions of {{b|Thunder|Robin}} hit much harder and now function as effective KO moves, especially Thoron; the move can now also be [[charge-cancel]]ed by jumping. [[Arcfire]] is much harder to escape from and travels much farther, making it even more effective for combo initiating. [[Elwind]] can have its trajectory significantly altered and grants more distance, recharges faster, and pushes opponents if the wind blades hit the ground. Finally, [[Nosferatu]] has slightly more range, heals and deals damage at a faster rate | Robin's special moves have been heavily revamped.

Finally, [[Nosferatu]] has slightly more range, heals and deals damage at a faster rate, and has fewer uses, allowing it to generate a used tome much faster. | ||
However, Robin's nerfs are also notable. The biggest change is to the Levin Sword, which Robin no longer starts with at the start of the match, forcing several seconds of downtime before the Levin Sword is usable. Robin's most effective tools have also been nerfed: Arcthunder's significantly lower looping duration now prevents followups unless initiated at a distance, Elwind has fewer uses, and down throw has increased knockback, reducing the percent range in which combos (such as the "Checkmate", a down throw to up aerial) can be performed. | However, Robin's nerfs are also notable. Despite being given the same ground movement increases of about 10% like the rest of the cast, Robin has actually become slower compared to the rest of the cast; as the result, he is still one of the slowest characters in terms of mobility, and he has not gained anything in terms of dash speed. The biggest change is to the Levin Sword, which Robin no longer starts with at the start of the match, forcing several seconds of downtime before the Levin Sword is usable. Robin's most effective tools have also been nerfed: Arcthunder's significantly lower looping duration now prevents followups unless initiated at a distance, Arcfire is now canceled by any other hitbox, Elwind has fewer uses, and down throw has increased knockback, reducing the percent range in which combos (such as the "Checkmate", a down throw to up aerial) can be performed. Finally, Robin still possesses serious flaws, such as a poor grab, problems with escaping pressure due to awkward hitboxes, and aforementioned mediocre mobility. | ||
Overall, Robin has gained many new KO options, and has gained new benefits that patch up major issues present in ''SSB4'', but at the cost of several of his previously potent moves being less effective, leading to mixed results. Though Robin’s tournament representation has been low, he has shown signs of success thanks to the efforts of {{sm|Jul}}, who placed 17th at {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, and {{sm|Deci}}, who placed 9th at {{Trn|Port Priority 5}}. As such {{sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Jtails}} both think Robin is underrated and solo viable. As a result, it is unknown how Robin currently fares compared to the rest of the cast. | |||

Robin received a mix of buffs | Robin has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in game updates, but has been buffed overall. The main and only nerfs come from 3.0.0, in which the universal shield changes with projectiles negatively affected Robin's shield damage. Otherwise, his kit was made more effective, and this is mainly seen in 6.0.0: A Bronze Sword smash attack gives a slightly larger charge increase to Levin Sword when using a smash attack, forward tilt was made stronger, neutral aerial was made faster, all of the variations in {{b|Thunder|Robin}} charge faster, and Arcfire travels further horizontally and last much longer. Overall, it's unknown on how much the buffs will affect their stance in the metagame, but many unarguably agree that he was made a more effective character. | ||

Robin has a unique [[fighter ability]]: true to the ''Fire Emblem'' series, where items break after being used too many times, Robin's tomes and Levin Sword do the same if they are used too often. If Robin attempts to use an attack that uses durability-affected weaponry and is interrupted by an attack while attempting to use it, then that will count as one use of the weapon, even if no damaging hitbox is produced. Robin always carries the last tome and sword that was used in each hand, provided their durability has not depleted. The amount of remaining durability is displayed in the form of a bar that appears above his icon on the HUD. Once a depleted weapon is restored, a unique animation of the weapon appearing in one hand with a flash of light will start, provided that Robin is standing completely still; tomes appear in the left hand while holding it up in the air, while the Levin Sword reappears in the right hand while flicking it in a manner similar to one of Robin’s idle poses. These poses can be canceled, similarly to taunts. | Robin has a unique [[fighter ability]]: true to the ''Fire Emblem'' series, where items break after being used too many times, Robin's tomes and Levin Sword do the same if they are used too often.

==In | ==In competitive play== | ||
Compared to other characters' transitions from ''Smash 4'', which saw them receive considerable buffs and drew the attention of competitive players, Robin did not receive nearly as much attention. While some of Robin's moves were buffed, some of their reliable moves from ''Smash 4'' were toned back, with their neutral at the start of a match taking a temporary yet significant hit by not allowing them immediate access to the Levin Sword. Additionally, despite Robin's average air speed and above average air acceleration being nearly akin to {{SSBU|Marth}}, their lackluster ground mobility presents liabilities, as the speed increases Robin received were too given to much faster characters in the transition. While Robin certainly does possess potent and powerful tools in the right hands, most professionals did not deem them very notable on early tier lists. Arcfire's newfound utility in place of their "checkmate" confirm left ambiguity in functionality where initial attention was passed over in favor of already perceivably stronger characters to which he shares attributes of resource reliant zoning ({{SSBU|Olimar}}), trapping ({{SSBU|Pac-Man}}), and sword spacing ({{SSBU|Ike}}), rendering Robin in comparatively low positions. | |||
Perceptions of Robin have increased somewhat since then, as Robin players have achieved some success with the character. Players such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Jtails}} see Robin as underrated in the current metagame. All the while, Robin's viability past mid tier is still up for debate, due to sparse activity and low travel among the best of their playerbase, on top of low visibility in particular regions. | |||

* | **Additionally, when the victory quote is used, the flame effects will not play. | ||
*Robin, along with {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} and {{SSBU|Pokemon Trainer}}, is one of the only characters to have their fighter spirit be only their artwork in the game and not from their original game. | |||
* | **A possible explanation could be that Robin has no official artwork of them in ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' as they are a customizable avatar and don't appear on any promotional material compared to [[Corrin]], as ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', the game where Robin originates, mainly features Chrom and Lucina instead. | ||
***Despite this, however, the characters of Tharja and Garon, from ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' and ''Fire Emblem: Fates'' respectively, use their conversation portraits from their games as spirits in ''Ultimate'', and Nintendo's official site for promoting ''Awakening'' uses both gendered Robin default portraits on the characters section.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/characters/chara2.html]</ref> | |||
*In [[Sound Test]], most characters with male and female [[alternate costume]]s have two identical [[announcer]] voice clips, as placeholders to accommodate for languages with gendered nouns (for example, {{SSBU|Inkling}} in Spanish is "Inkling chica" for female costumes and "Inkling chico" for male costumes).

*Robin is the only fighter originating from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' who is never fought on [[Arena Ferox]] for his unlocking battle. He is instead fought on [[Castle Siege]]. Lucina is always fought on that stage no matter which method, while Chrom switches his unlock battle stages depending on whether one is playing World of Light (fought on Castle Siege) or otherwise (Arena Ferox). | |||
**Robin is also the only fighter from Fire Emblem Awakening who does not use either version of Id (Purpose) in any of his unlock battles, even though the theme is more associated with Robin than either Chrom or Lucina in the source material. | |||
*Coincidentally, the Robin puppet fighters' appearance in World of Light highly resembles future Robin's appearance when possessed by {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Grima|character}} in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', especially the ones who affiliated with Galeem, complete with red eyes. | |||
*Robin is the only fighter who debuted in ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'' that is not an Echo Fighter of another character, as Lucina is an Echo Fighter of Marth while Chrom is an Echo Fighter of Roy. | |||
*When KO'd, male Robin has a chance to say "Worthless Fool..." while female Robin sometimes exclaims "I was careless!" | |||
