Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Kafrizz appears as the Hero's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is the fully charged version of Frizz, and creates an explosive, multi-hit flame upon contact with an opponent for 36 MP. The first hit deals 19% damage, with each subsequent flare searing for 3% and totaling for 31% if all six fireballs connect with an opponent. Kafrizz has high knockback and deals excellent shield damage, but the ending lag the Hero suffers means he can be punished if he casts it at the wrong time.

Enemy versions

When cast by a monster in IX Kafrizz will deal 104~127 damage.
