Hothead: Difference between revisions

In its stationary state, Hotheads can be picked up and thrown, but will become mobile when thrown. Once they land on the ground or on a platform, it will move along the surface in the direction it was thrown, clinging to the floors and the ceilings of said platforms and periodically release sparks that deals 1.6× more damage. If it moving on a [[soft platform]], the Hothead will fall off of the edge and continue to fall until it lands again or falls off the screen. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Hotheads will change their direction when they travel offstage on flat surfaces instead of disappearing.

Hotheads can also be attacked, causing them to grow larger and deal more damage. It can be attacked both before and after setting it in motion. The incoming damage is multiplied by some value and added onto the Hothead's current damage (e.g. a 7% attack and a multiplier of 0.7× will add 4.9%); this new value will used and added onto with further attacks. When the damage it deals reaches certain thresholds (see table below), the damage increase from further incoming attacks will decrease or stop completely after passing the last threshold. In ''Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', only [[flame]] and [[electric]] attacks can increase the damage, while in ''Ultimate'' any attack can increase their size but will receive a 0.3× multiplier alongside the normal multiplier if it isn't a flame or electric attack.
