Absorbing Vortex (アブソーバー, Absorber) is one of three down special moves for the Mii Gunner.
Overview
When used, the Gunner can absorb energy-based projectiles that heal some damage upon absorption, similarly to PSI Magnet. Using this move after a jump pushes the Mii Gunner upward slightly, increasing recovery distance.
Much like Lucas and Ness' PSI Magnet, upon absorbing a projectile, tapping the control stick or control pad (depending on controller) in a direction will cause the Mii Gunner to roll in that direction, sidestep, or jump without having to release the attack first.
The move received several buffs in the transition to Ultimate. Its healing multiplier has been increased while its endlag has been decreased, and it now produces a weak hitbox upon startup, thus making it safer to use. Compared to the hitbox found on Ness's equivalent special, it is harder to combo out of due to the Gunner's low mobility, but the hitbox itself is larger, making it better as an escape or defensive option.

Trivia
- If the Shadow Assist Trophy freezes Mii Gunner while Absorbing Vortex is active, it remains fully functional while frozen, being able and absorb attacks and heal as normal.
- This interaction causes a visual quirk of the Absorbing Vortex effect acting at normal speed while frozen despite Mii Gunner not moving and the affect being slowed while in Shadow's slowdown.
