Overview

Hero throws an overhead slash with his sword, dealing 18% on the blade and 16% for his arms. Like his other smash attacks, it has a 1/8 chance to be a critical hit. On a critical hit, the base knockback is lower than normal. When paired with Oomph or Psyche Up, the move will break a full-health shield uncharged.
