Aymr (魔斧 アイムール, Demon Axe, Aymr) is Byleth's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
When activated, Byleth will pull out Aymr, and charge up a powerful downward swing, similar to Hatchet Man. Byleth has 30% damage-based armor on frames 34-63 if grounded; after the startup animation, but before the swing itself. It is possible to gain the armor if Byleth lands before frame 34 as well. It can be reversed once and dropped through platforms as a deadly mixup option. It can also hit characters standing on the lower platforms of Battlefield. Aymr does incredible damage and knockback, on top of being able to break shields in a single hit. If used at the edge of a platform, Aymr doesn't impact the ground, but the hitbox will occur slightly lower (around where a stage's ledge is located). With appropriate timing and spacing, this distinction allows Aymr to potentially foil certain recovery efforts.
Origin
This axe is the personal weapon of Edelgard von Hresvelg in Three Houses. While it is in her possession, it grants her the Raging Storm combat art, which is effective against dragon enemies and lets her move again when the attack connects. Aymr can be wielded by other characters, but it will not grant Raging Storm to those without the Crest of Seiros and those without a Crest will take damage after attacking with it. The attack itself is based on the critical hit animation for Aymr in Three Houses.
