This article or section is a short summary of Arcfire. SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Arcfire will be Robin's side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The move is described by Masahiro Sakurai as "[calling] down a bolt of flame from above, then [launching] a pillar of fire". Like all of Robin's tome attacks, using the Arcfire special move will also set the tome to be used as part of some of Robin's other non-special moves, and it will "break" after a set number of uses, but further details on these mechanics remain to be seen.
