Flame
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
There are various attacks in the Super Smash Bros. series that cause the flame effect. Targets hit by these attacks will momentarily be set on fire, flashing red and orange, and in Ultimate, will appear visibly scorched. Flame attacks have other effects:
- They thaw frozen characters.
- They cause Blast Boxes, Bombers, Link's Bombs and Remote Bombs, and Young Link and Toon Link's Bombs to detonate instantly (with the exception of the Hothead).
- They do no damage to Red Pikmin, which will not flinch.
- They deal 1.1x knockback to Ivysaur and 0.9x knockback to Squirtle in Brawl.
- They are strengthened by Flame Attack stickers and Fire & Explosion Attack ↑ spirits and resisted by Flame Resistance stickers and Fire/Explosion Resist ↑ spirits.
- They make Hotheads grow larger and make them more powerful.
Flame is by far the most common "elemental" attack in the Smash Bros. series, with over half of Brawl's roster having access to at least one.
The vast majority of explosive attacks use the flame effect.
