Most of {{SSBB|Lucario}}'s [[attack]]s have the '''aura''' effect. By itself, aura has no effect other than producing blue flames; when used by Lucario, however, the damage of the attack is altered based on Lucario's current damage and placing in the match.


The formula of the value used to strength or weaken aura attacks is as follows:
Aura is life force of all living beings. In [[Brawl]], {{SSBB|Lucario}} can convert its aura into power<ref name="a">Mei Ling: "I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful..."</ref>. Hence, most of Lucario's [[attack]]s have the '''aura''' effect.
 
==Appearance==
When afflicted by aura, the character glows with a blue hue, with blue flames coming out of his body. This is only a visual effect and has no effect on gameplay.
 
==Damage Calculation==
When used by Lucario, the damage of the attack is altered based on Lucario's current damage and placing in the match.It increases with damage taken by Lucario before maxing out at 170%. The formula of the value used to strength or weaken aura attacks can be calculated as follows:

...where ''r'' is the ratio of the damage dealt (for example, if ''r'' is 80, the attack is at 80% strength) and ''d'' is Lucario's current damage.

*It is a common misconception that aura attacks reach maximum power at 182%, not the actual 170%. This is due to [[Event 25: The Aura Is With Me]] placing Lucario at 182% to start the match, implying that 182% is the maximum.

*Another (less common) misconception is that each of Lucario's attacks has an individual aura cap. This is due to the game not displaying or otherwise acknowledging the presence of decimal figures, so an attack dealing a maximum of 9.8 damage can be believed to be the same as one with a maximum of 9.0 at a lower percentage.
