Flare Blade

Flare Blade is the neutral special move used by Roy since Super Smash Bros. Melee and by Chrom since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When used by either character, they charge up a fiery sword strike, which charges for as long as the special attack button is held. When released, Roy or Chrom unleash a slash that explodes, but if Fire Blade is fully charged, it automatically attacks. When fully charged, the Flare Blade can instantly KO any opponent, although Roy also takes recoil damage.
