'''Elthunder''' (Japanese: {{hl|エルサンダー|Erusandā}} ''Elthunder'') is a [[Thunder (magic)|thunder tome]] which debuted in {{FE4}}, appearing only in games which feature the three separate anima magic types of fire, thunder and wind. It acts as the second "stage" of the hierarchy of thunder magic, as a counterpart to [[Elfire]] and [[Elwind]]; it is superior to the basic [[Thunder (tome)|Thunder]] tome but requires a higher [[weapon level]] to use, and in turn it is surpassed by the more advanced and powerful [[Arcthunder]] and [[Thoron]] tomes.

Robin casting Elthunder in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Elthunder is part of Robin's neutral special move, Thunder, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. When charged up for certain periods of time, it will become a stronger thunder spell when released. Elthunder is the second charging stage, achieved when charged up long enough for the electric aura surrounding Robin to turn yellow: it behaves as a slower, more powerful version of Thunder, sending a ball of lightning forward which inflicts 9% damage.

Elthunder's functionality and power is altered slightly when cast through Robin's alternate neutral special moves: Thunder+'s Elthunder has greater knockback, while Speed Thunder's Elthunder is smaller and travels the width of the Final Destination stage. As per Robin's durability mechanic, a successful Elthunder consumes 3 durability points (or 2.5 if the alternate special move is Thunder+).
