Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Thunder (Japanese: サンダー Thunder) is a basic tome which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is present in all games in the Fire Emblem series. A spell which entails striking the foe with a bolt of lightning, in games which feature the three separate schools of anima magic, it acts as the first "stage" in the hierarchy of thunder magic: it is the thunder counterpart to the Fire and Wind tomes, is the weakest and lowest-ranked of the thunder tomes, and is surpassed by the more powerful and advanced Elthunder, Arcthunder and Thoron. In games featuring anima magic, black magic or tomes in general only as a generalized weapon rank, it typically acts as a low-level tome with no particularly distinct effects; the exception is its appearance as Gaiden, where it uniquely has greater range than the other spells in the game.

Other appearances

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

Thunder will be Robin's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. When used Robin will hurl an electric projectile a great distance across the stage, and when charged up for long enough periods of time it will instead launch bolts of the more powerful thunder spells Elthunder, Arcthunder and Thoron. Like all of Robin's tome attacks, using the Thunder 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.
