Special Moves
B : Lance Toss; Arthur tosses a lance that goes somewhat slow and can be tossed straight forward or upwards (8%, small knockback)
- With Holy Armor, the lances fly much faster and go slightly further
B + Forwards : Crossbow; Arthur fires two arrows in a 45o arc (6% each, small knockback); each arrow deals 1.5x more damage and knockback to opponents in the air
- With Holy Armor, Arthur fires three arrows that become orbs of energy; the added third one goes straight in the direction it's facing
B + Up : Shatter Armor; Arthur deliberately sheds his armor to jump sky-high (with opponents taking damage from the broken armor pieces) (12%, OK knockback), halving his magic charge meter. Arthur doesn’t immediately go into freefall when this happens, but he can only manage a measly hop when he tries to use this special again.
- With Holy Armor, he goes up higher and can possibly Meteor Smash opponents close to him, but the magic charge meter is completely drained
B + Down : Armor / Thunder Magic; Using the magic charge meter from Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (which fills up as he deals and takes damage), Arthur can either upgrade his armor by one stage or cast thunder magic that surrounds him in electricity (30%, far knockback), immediately reducing him to his boxers
- If Arthur loses his armor through damage, the meter stays as is
Final Smash: Goddess Bracelet; based on one of his Hyper Combos from MvC3, Arthur fires 19 energy shots that paralyze opponents in place (2% each) and then finishes with a huge orb of light that can hit multiple opponents (20%, far knockback)
Gimmick: Armor; Arthur loses his armor when he takes about 55% damage or if a strong enough attack hits him, reducing the knight to his boxers
- In his armor, Arthur is committed to whatever direction he jumps in
- Armorless Arthur has greatly increased movement speed and jump height and can jump freely, but takes 1.2x more damage from enemy attacks and is easier to launch
- Arthur with Holy Armor is harder to launch, has increased movement speed and stats, and his attacks do 1.3x more damage with less endlag, but his jumps are slightly heavier despite also being able to jump freely in this state
- Losing this armor still reduces Arthur to his boxers, but it only needs 100% damage to break and can withstand any attack
- He can regain his armor faster by getting K.O.’d
- When Arthur loses a Stamina Battle, his death animation is the same as his home series
