I have devised a moveset for Arthas Menethil, The Lich King!

Down Special - Changes between Unholy, Frost, and Blood stance.
  • Unholy - Slightly increased running, jumping, falling, and recovery speed. Attack speed also increased. Die at lower percents. Standard attacks all have a chance of applying a DoT effect.
  • Frost - Slightly increased damage and defense. Attacks of a chance of dealing extra frost damage.
  • Blood - Increased defense, lower attack and speed. Attacks have a chance of healing yourself.
Neutral Special - Death Coil / Howling Blast / Blood Boil, depending on stance
  • Death Coil - Medium range, 10% and heals you.
  • Howling Blast - Medium-long range, auto-aims at opponent, 7% with a change to freeze
  • Blood Boil - Short range AOE, 5%
Side Special - Outbreak / Breath of Syndragosa / Heart Strike, depending on Stance
  • Outbreak - Functionally the same as Joker's Side Special, deals about the same DoT damage as Arsene but not as much initial damage or knockback
  • Breath of Syndragosa - Functionally the same as Ice Climbers Down Special
  • Heart Strike - Grabs opponent and shafts them with sword, dealing 15%(?) damage and healing yourself
Up Special - Downsized Syndragosa boosts him upwards diagonally, slightly controllable.



Forward Aerial - Essentially the same as Cloud's, except it's slightly slower, deals more damage, and cannot spike. Kills around 120% against Mid-weights.
Up Aerial - Swing sword up in a cone. Not really interesting, does kill at high percents
Down Aerial - Captain Falcon with a sword.
Back Aerial - Swings sword behind him, Does not turn him around (can maybe combo into itself in Death stance at mid-percents?)
Forward Tilt - Thrusts sword forwards, has a narrow hitbox and a sweetspot, kills over 120%
Up Tilt - Same as Lucina but slower and deals more damage, combos into most aerials depending on percent, especially in Death Stance.
Down Tilt - Swings sword down, combos into forward air at low percents
Forward Smash - Doriyah
Down Smash - Cleaves sword in front of him, has a slightly higher than normal chance for stance effects to happen due to shockwave effect
Up smash - Thrusts sword up in front of him, sweetspot that sends enemy down if in Unholy, forward if in Frost, and backwards if in Blood
Jab - Downward swing, slow and doesn't kill
Dash Attack - Swings sword vertically, can kill at high percents



Down Throw - Sends enemy into the air behind you, combos into Back aerial at some percents.
Forward Throw - Sends enemy in front of you

Up Throw - Sends enemy upwards, can combo into Up Aerial at mid-low percents
Back Throw - Sends enemy flying behind you, kills at high percents.




I haven't seen Arthas discussed very often for Smash, so I decided to make a moveset for him! First time trying something like this so don't bully me too hard.
