You only have to hit the B Button twice for any Thunder Variant other than Thoron. Also, Arcfire is not a projectile mash. It is a simple push of the B Button(or whatever you have it set to).What's the best way to do it without randomly projectile-mashing it like Elthunder and Arcfire?
[/quote]I think he meant "projectile spam".
I normally use it to cover my landing if my opponent is nearby. You can do this somewhat offensively with a b-reversal or just hopping toward your opponent and shooting. If your opponent is aggressive then hop backwards and Arcthunder if they come at you, or Arcfire if they don't. You want to use it so that if it connects (shield or not), they're close enough to follow with a grab reliably.
It can definitely be MU dependent, there's a few MUs where I never Arcthunder, and a few where I spam it randomly.
