Smash Moveset #17: Emil Castagnier

Bio: After becoming a Knight of Ratatosk, the kind-hearted yet timid Emil began to harbor a darker second personality that would take over when a situation was too difficult for the normal Emil. Both Emil's fight the same, using a sword and combat Artes to defeat opponents, however, the more ruthless one is more adept in combat and can use Centurion skills to enhance his Artes with elemental effects.

Unique Mechanic: Knight of Ratatosk

While Emil's damage is at 60% or higher, his other self will take control of his body, buffing his specials with Centurion skills that adding an element to them and alter their properties. Should Emil's damage be healed below 60%, normal Emil will regain control and those buffs will be removed.

Neutral Special: Demon Fang

Emil swings his sword along the ground, sending out a grounded projectile. This projectile is affected by gravity, and thus will fall if used in the air or if it falls of a platform.

Centurion Skill (Demon Fang): Tenebrae

Demon Fang becomes a Dark element move, increasing its damage and speed. Furthermore, the initial swing will now leave a trail of darkness in its wake, allow the sword swing to deal damage as well.

Side Special: Havoc Strike

Emil leaps into the air before performing a dive kick. If used in the air, Emil will go straight into the dive kick animation.

Centurion Skill (Havoc Strike): Ignis

Havoc Strike becomes a Fire element move, creating a burst of fire when used on the ground to pop opponents into the air and covering Emil's body if fire during the dive kick to increase its damage.

Up Special: Phoenix Rush

Emil performs two somersault slashes into the air, allowing him to deal damage while recovering.

Centurion Skill (Phoenix Rush): Ventus

Phoenix Rush becomes a wind element move, creating a wind barrier around Emil's body that both voids weak projectiles and acts as a windbox to push opponents away with each slash.

Down Special: Fiend Fusion

Emil strikes a power up stance and buffs his movement speed for 10 seconds. Emil will not get this buff if he's hit out of the animation before it finishes.

Centurion Skill (Fiend Fusion): Solum

Fiend Fusion becomes an Earth element move, adding a defensive buff that reduces the damage Emil takes alongside his speed buff. Furthermore, the grounded version of the move will summon up stalagmites around him, allowing Fiend Fusion to deal damage.

Final Smash: Devil's Hellfire

Emil's Mystic Arte. Emil will release a burst of energy around his body as a starter for the attack. If it connects, Emil will rush forward and deliver a series of slashes before ending with Devil's Maw (his Unison Attack), creating an eruption of fire and darkness at the enemies' feet.

Centurion Skill (Devil's Hellfire): Ratatosk

While Knight of Ratatosk is activated, Emil can add Ain Soph Aur to the end of Devil's Hellfire by pressing B again after the cut-in preceding the Devil's Maw ender. This will cause Emil to swing his sword one last time, sending out an blast of light that deals damage equal to Emil's damage minus 60.
