Robin Balance Changes

Robin could use a more reliable aerial combo tool, while opponents should not be stuck inside Arc Fire for quite so long.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Neutral special (Arc Fire)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    End duration reduced to 55 frames.

  2. Neutral air

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag reduced to 16 frames.
