The Thunderbird is a Curve-type ARMS weapon with the Electric attribute.

Description

Appearance

The Thunderbird appears as a blue bird atop a nest. Yellow thunderbolts are painted on parts of the bird body. When launched, 3 hatching chicks can be seen rotating in the nest.

Function

"A bird in the hand is worth two in an opponent's face, especially if they're electrically charged and ready to attack from any direction!"
Official Description


  • When a fighter punches with the Thunderbird, the bird flies away from its nest in the direction of the punch, then returns to it.
  • Unlike other Curve-type ARMS, the Thunderbird can arc its trajectory both up and down, as well as left to right.
  • A Rush will increase the weight class of the projectiles to Heavy for the duration of the attack.
