In a video posted to Reddit, a player landed a snooze attack on a mid-air opponent causing him to drift away off the stage and to their death despite the attacking landing while still barely over the second platform on Battlefield.

And the Kamikaze ability has an impressive kill range. GCab uploaded a video of the move where he is able to kill a Young Link from far beyond standard attack range.

It’s not just spells that Hero has in his arsenal. He has a unique passive ability where his attacks can result in critical hits, dealing more damage and causing opponents to fly farther off the stage and to their doom.
