Flare Blade is Roy's neutral special move. Marth has a similar move called Shield Breaker. Flare Blade can be charged for up to five seconds by holding the B button, and when fully charged, it does 50% damage and delivers a one-hit KO to even the heaviest characters in the game (except on larger stages like Temple). Roy takes 10% damage from the explosion of the fully charged attack. Flare Blade has the potential to break shields when it is charged up to a point. Like most of Roy's attacks, it has a sweetspot in the middle, but all hitboxes will KO when fully charged.


Origin

This move is based on Roy's critical hit when he has the Sword of the Seals in Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi.
