OverviewEdit
A rapid flurry of magic followed by a strong launching blast. Its use is limited to a simple damage-racking follow-up from jab at lower percents before jab can start combos on its own. The finisher always sends opponents into tumble, which gives Zelda more advantage frames at low percents compared to down tilt or down smash. The finisher has mediocre kill power, but can be an emergency KO option at very high percents.
With a set up Phantom, Zelda can keep opponents in the laggy rapid jab for an easy/guaranteed combo into Phantom. If the opponent has a heavily damaged shield, the rapid jab can trap them in shield for a shield break from the Phantom.
Otherwise, this move should not be used on its own, as the finisher is extremely laggy and is Zelda's most unsafe move on shield, even more so than Farore's Wind.
Update HistoryEdit
- Rapid jab deals more damage (0.2% → 0.4%).
