Moveset[]

Playstyle[]

Zuko is a tactical all-rounder who uses his swords for better stats, and focuses on high damage and brutal combos. However, sharing similar flaws with Azula, his speed is only about average, he is lightweight and his recovery is incredibly weak.

Light Attacks[]

Traveler of the Fire Nation (Neutral Grounded), Sword Slashes (Sword): Punches twice forward before doing a burst of flame from his palms. With his sword, this becomes a more powerful slashing attack. DAMAGE - 2 (Hits 1-2, Fire) 5 (Hit 3, Fire), 3 (Hits 1-2, Sword), 7 (Hit 3, Sword)
Dancing Dragon Steps (Side Grounded): Punches forward with fire two times before doing a roundhouse kick. If you press the special button after the first hit, Zuko does an upward sword slash.

Damage - 3 (Hits 1-2), 7 (Hit 3, Kick), 2 (Hit 1, Upper Sword), 4 (Hit 2, Upper Sword), 9 (Down Sword)
Burning Uppercut (Up Grounded): Does a flaming uppercut. DAMAGE - 8

Aerial Fire Explosion (Side Aerial): Creates a large burst of fire in front of himself. With his swords this becomes a horizontal slash. DAMAGE - 12 (Fire Sweet), 10 (Fire Sour) 14 (Swords)
Flame Lotus (Up Aerial): Zuko does a flaming spinning kick, which allows him to rise diagonally upwards a bit and can be used to recover. Can only be used once per airtime. The move hits multiple times. DAMAGE - 1 (Hits 1-5), 8 (Hit 6)
Sozin’s Comet Descent (Down Aerial): Does a downward diving kick. Spikes at the beginning of the move and has a powerful hitbox when he lands. DAMAGE - 15 (Sweet), 12 (Sour), 9 (Landing)

Special Attacks[]

Dancing Dragon Punch (Neutral): Zuko charges up a powerful forward strike that creates a flaming dragon head. Although it has a long startup and short range, it’s a very powerful attack, and it applies the burn effect. DAMAGE - 25 (Base)
- Slime Version: Deals more damage, and can break a full shield instantly. DAMAGE - 30 (Base)
Ring of Fire (Side): Zuko throws a ring of fire in front of him that travels a medium distance. Tapping the button makes it go faster, while holding the button makes it go slower. DAMAGE - 8
- Slime Version: Shoots fire rings on both sides of Zuko.
Ascent of Azulon (Up): Zuko launches himself in the air with a burst of fire. Doesn’t travel very far, and immediately puts him in special fall. DAMAGE - 8
- Slime Version: Travels higher and faster, as well as automatically converting to Strong Down Air.
Unsheathe Swords (Down): Zuko pulls out dual broadswords, which changes some his normal attacks to quick sword strikes. They can be thrown and subsequently picked up like an Item. If the swords fall off-stage, they become unusable for a few seconds. You can also pull out the swords during your grounded light side attack; each part of the move transitioning into the sword moveset with a different attack. DAMAGE - 7 (Swords Thrown)
- Slime Version: Dashes forward when pulling out the swords, which can be used for recovery. DAMAGE- None
