Overview

Loxodont is big. Whether it comes to his size, his weight, his attacks, it's all characterized by one thing: big. Loxodont might have slow movement speed, but he makes up for it by having one of the biggest threat ranges in the game, with absurd disjointed hitboxes, a command grab that forces the opponent to guess, and powerful uncontestable moves that can often cover multiple options at once.

If Loxodont cannot reach an opponent with his axe, he can threaten those ranges with his Meatball, a projectile that can be angled up and down and launched with his own attacks, able to uniquely cover offstage options as well as approaching options from the opponent. Don't try to shield it either, since Loxodont's Side Special is a command grab that will instantly put the opponent into a tech situation, forcing the opponent to guess right or risk eating a large hit. Loxodont's range, however, ultimately comes from his Forward Tilt, a long range move that pulls the opponent in, and allowing Loxodont to cancel into his Down Tilt to flinch the opponent and potentially set up for Grab, his Up Tilt to launch them for a platform tech chase, or his second hit of Forward Tilt just for an extra mixup.

All the meanwhile, Loxodont is setting up for his biggest win condition: his Down Special, Eruption. Every time he stands over a pool of lava, he gains a single molten charge, and he can get stronger and stronger versions of Eruption. Sure, they're incredible for his recovery, but they also become a powerful burst combo tool, with Level 3 Eruption into Tusks being one of his best finishers. Molten charges can also buff his Strong attacks, not only making them stronger, but also giving them more active frames, meaning that if an opponent tries to shield it without a full shield, they'll be met with a nasty surprise...

Loxodont makes demands, and if one dares to enter his domain, he will not entertain any usurpers. If the opponent guesses wrong early, they'll eventually be in disadvantage state, realizing that no matter what they do next, there is no escape from the Eternal Emperor. The only choice is how sadistic Loxodont's combo will be.

Summary

Loxodont is a mighty despot wielding a huge greataxe and molten lava to cull all insurrections before they can even begin.
Pros	Cons
Absurd Range: It’s like he has a lance instead of an axe. The entire platform is his domain. Punish Game: Loxodont hits so hard and forces earlier escapes than normal, because after a certain point, the reads end when he can cover every option. Tech Chase: Loxodont loves to tech chase and cover knockdowns, especially with Side Special and Down Throw. Stage Control: His axe and his meatball make it tough to run away from him. Edgeguarding: Loxodont can carry off and maintain ledge quite well against others. Weight: He takes longer to knock down and kill because of this. This also means he gets great CC reversal options.	Slow Movement: He is not going to run in and win, and he’s reliant on a hasty approach from the opponent. Poor Frame Data: His Jab is slower than his Grab, seriously. That’s the level of slow his moves are. Big: It’s pretty easy to get a hit on him and combo. His gravity actually makes him die earlier too, despite being a heavyweight. Out of Shield: He’s got a big Back Air and a big Grab, but these aren’t reliable. Shield Pressure: He's great at conditioning opponents to shield, but all he can do is Grab or Side Special at it. Linear Recovery: He can get edgeguarded very hard without Eruption available.

Lava Pools

Lava pools are an important resource for Loxodont to get access to molten charges. The following moves place lava pools:

• Down Tilt
• Neutral Special
• Side Special
• Up Special
• Pummel Special
• Ledge Special

Lava pools take 30 frames to become active. After becoming active, Loxodont can stand on them to gain a molten charge, consuming it in the process. Loxodont does not gain charge if in shield, hitstun, or knockdown. If an opponent stands on a lava pool, the pool will disappear. If both Loxodont and the opponent stand on the lava pool, the pool will not give charges or disappear until only one is standing.

Lava pools themselves, in particular, will change the behavior on Loxodont's Dash Attack and Down Throw.

Molten Charges

Molten charges are the equivalent of Loxodont's meter, allowing him to have powerful options in his gameplay. He maxes out at three charges, and this is indicated by Loxodont's visual appearance. With charges, he can do the following:

• The most important feature is gaining access to Eruption. The more charges, the stronger it gets. Expends all charges.
• He can add more power and active frames to his Strong attacks. Costs 1 charge.
  • If the Strong is charged for under 29 frames of charge, then one magma hitbox is made.
  • If the Strong is partially charged between 30-59 frames of charge, then two magma hitboxes are made.
  • If the Strong is fully charged, then three magma hitboxes are made.
• Create a large burst hitbox with his Getup Special. Costs 1 charge.
• He can cancel Eruption into the chargeless variant by inputting ShieldDefault Controls
  Xbox:
  GCN:
  KB: . Costs 1 charge.

In addition, Loxodont will lose all of his charges if he is parried.

Loxodont's gameplay often centers around his ability to gain charge, as a chargeless Loxodont and a Loxodont with all three charges are effectively completely different characters in the way they play.

Meatballs

Meatball (officially called "molten boulder") is a powerful projectile that Loxodont can send out. Meatballs deal strong knockback and can be charged for increase knockback and damage. Upon being hit, meatballs will be reflected, and meatballs can be additionally attacked by their owner. This allows for Loxodont to juggle and send it at various angles for complex approaches. In addition, they can also be grabbed by Loxodont's Forward Special, hurling them downward. Meatballs will also bounce on the floor if they make contact.

• Jab 1 can be auto-floorhugged.

Loxodont quickly thrusts his axe forward. This is his fastest move, with decent range.

This is one of Loxodont's few good tools at approaching opponents, especially when combined with babydashingBabydash
A movement option by inputting dash for 1 or 2 frames, causing a character to slide forward while remaining fully actionable.
See in Glossary. He can cancel Jab 1 into any Tilt as well as Jab 2. Note that this pushes the opponent out, unlike Forward Tilt. At far enough spacings, only Forward Tilt and Jab 2 are able to connect, with Jab 2 able to follow up into Dash Attack.

One of Loxodont's strongest space control tools. This move drags inward, and it can cancel into his Forward Tilt 2. On hit, it can also cancel into his Up Tilt and Down Tilt.

This is one of Loxodont's most important tools. It has incredible range, and it can immediately set up for combos into Up Tilt or Down Tilt, or knockdowns and sending offstage with the second hit.

The threat range of Loxodont is most characterized by this move, even to the point where if Loxodont knocks the opponent offstage, he can drag them back in with this move to prevent the opponent from escaping the combo. It can be a decent counter to floorhugFloorhug
A defensive mechanic that significantly reduces hitstun by timing a downward press on either stick. Requires precise timing, but it can be important for reversals out of opposing punishes. Here, as can be seen, Etalus floorhugs the attack, indicated by a white arrow moving into the floor.

Loxodont swings upward. This axe arc starts behind Loxodont, ending in front of him.

This is one of Loxodont's anti-airs, and it works great for catching opponents above. It's not as good when dealing with grounded opponents, since the sourspot is much easier to intercept from behind or in front of him. It is one of the few options Loxodont has for catching crossups, however. The sweetspot sends opponents into knockdown quite early, but typically this is much easier to hit when the opponent is above, as the sourspot is not as reliable in terms of juggling with its angle, sometimes sending them behind Loxodont.

• Creates a lava pool.

This move has two hitboxes, Loxodont's leg and the extended shockwave. The stomp notably sends straight down, making it especially useful as a spike for ledgetrapping. On stage, however, it should not be dismissed, as it can give Loxodont an excellent way of beating floorhugFloorhug

See in Glossary, especially since the spacing will always lead to a guaranteed Grab.

The shockwave launches up, making it a good launcher and combo starter, especially since it sends opponents into tumble extremely early, forcing a knockdown no matter what. This can lead into a lot of Loxodont's Aerials, Dash Attack, Side Special, as well as setting up a platform tech chase.

The move is Loxodont's fastest way to add a lava pool on the stage and gain charges. While much smaller compared to those generated by his other moves, it's a quick way to build in between stocks as well as in neutral if the opponent chooses to play non-interactively.

• Performing the move on a lava pool will scoop up some lava for a slight range extension.

A fast dash and scooping swing where Loxodont lurches forward. This move is good for whiff punishing, as well as catching DI out in combos, especially at the ledge, complementing his edgeguarding pressure.

Loxodont swings his large axe forward. While this is his slowest Strong, this covers a considerable distance in front of Loxodont, as well as able to catch characters slightly behind Loxodont.

This move is without a doubt, massive. It can cover entire platforms, it can ledgetrap, and it can punish bad approaches. This move will also eviscerate shields, dealing a ton of damage.

• Consumes one molten charge.

With molten charges, this move gains additional molten hitboxes, up to a maximum of three molten hitboxes when fully charged. This extra active version can be extra useful during edgeguarding and covering all tech options on platforms, including timing mixups.

Note that lava hitboxes are independent of Loxodont, meaning that they will not be hindered by Loxodont if he and his opponent are in hitpause.

This is his fastest Strong. The axe starts in front of him before covering behind him.

This is Loxodont's go-to finisher in combos. It also sends upwards, which can be more useful against lighter characters. While this move does not reach as far for ledgetrapping, this can cover many options at once on a platform.

• Consumes one molten charge.

With molten charges, this move gains additional molten hitboxes, up to a maximum of three molten hitboxes when fully charged. The lava hitboxes on this are actually larger than on Forward Strong, which may be worth considering. This is pretty much a checkmate situation for covering techs on platforms.

Loxodont spins his blade below him, hitting in front, behind, and in front again.

This move is much more active than his other Strongs, but it offers much less coverage, seeing as his entire upper body is vulnerable to being attacked. It is also not as strong compared to his other Strongs when at high percents. This move is still important, however, especially because it can cover an entire platform at once if Loxodont is standing on it.

• Consumes one molten charge.

With molten charges, this move gains additional molten hitboxes, up to a maximum of six molten hitboxes when fully charged. This move is unique in that because it hits both in front and back, this actually has double the amount of molten hitboxes, though it is unlikely he will hit all of them on the same opponent as they cover different sides. This version of the move is really powerful at ledge, since it is extremely hard to contest and get off ledge while this move is active, especially as it can catch below ledge. Don't shield the fully charged version of this, since it is most certain that the shield is getting broken.

Note that lava hitboxes are independent of Loxodont, meaning that they will not be hindered by Loxodont if he and his opponent are in hitpause.

Loxodont spins his axe, hitting in front, behind, and in front of him again.

This move is useful due to its active frames, and it can be used for catching opponents as an air-to-air. This is his fastest aerial, and it is one of the few moves that can cover both sides of Loxodont reliably. While it has less range than his other aerials, making it not as flashy of an out of shield option, it is the most reliable at comboing and is relatively safe on shield.

Loxodont swings his axe from below upward, sending the opponent in front and above of him.

This move does not have a lot of knockback, but that makes it reliable as a juggle tool at even high percents. It's possible to chain three or four hits of it as an offstage edgeguard, able to push opponents offstage nicely, but remember that it is really easy to overextend with this move, and it doesn't really put the opponent into knockdown either, meaning that Loxodont often has to do something new when the opponent falls out and puts their shield up.

What this really does is maintain spacing and positioning, useful when done in-place or retreating. It's good at catching bad recoveries directly above ledge, and it can also be nice to cover the area below ledge with a dropzone Forward Air. On select fastfallers, this can hitfallHitfall

Loxodont turns around and swings his axe behind him, hitting high above.

This is one of Loxodont's most important kill options. It's one of his fastest kill options as well, making it important as both a combo finisher as well as a stray hit when needing to hunt for one. The placement of the hitbox is quite high, meaning that it can be difficult to hit grounded opponents with it, and there also is a sweetspot that Loxodont needs to space for in order to get the maximum mileage.

Back Air is especially useful offstage, able to secure kills against recoveries much earlier than possible. Back Air from ledge as well as ledgedrop Back Air are some of his best edgeguarding tools in general.

The height makes this option okay to counter shield pressure as an out of shield option, but it will lose to many grounded or low aerial approaches on shield, unable to hit the opponent this way.

Loxodont swings the axe upward, starting from behind him and going across in an arc that ends in front of him, similar to his Up Tilt.

This move serves a similar function to Forward Air, except it sends more up and away. It can be difficult to position this move due to its angle, often sending the opponent far away, and Loxodont can struggle if he does not hit the sweetspot. However, this move can knock upwards onto platforms and set up for his other kill options.

Loxodont thrusts his legs downward, brutally sending any characters in the way downward.

This move is a powerful spike, and it can be useful as a way to catch opponents who recover low, although it is very susceptible to wall techs. It's also a really useful way to beat CC/FH on stage, especially as it is a powerful combo starter that can lead to Up Strong quite reliably. Be cautious, however, since this move has high landing lag, making it dangerous to whiff.

Meatball is a powerful projectile that allows Loxodont to control space and cover zones where he cannot move fast enough. It is a key tool in neutral, useful for catching jumps and edgeguarding.

Depending on how long it is charged (done by holding SpecialDefault Controls
Xbox:
GCN:
KB: ), Meatball will launch at higher speeds. This can also be angled depending on the left stick's direction. This projectile reflects at a hit's knockback angle when it is hit, like a volleyball. Loxodont can hit it by himself as well, creating unique angles. It disappears when it reaches the ground.

The amount of angles he can send at allow him to cover blindspots, with common options like Jab, Forward Tilt, Down Tilt, and Neutral Air. He can also grab this projectile with Side Special, causing it to slam downward before bouncing straight back up. Note, however, that the opponent can hit the Meatball back, causing the projectile to then belong to them instead.

This projectile is at its strongest when the opponent cannot parry it, but Loxodont can often parry it back to gain invincibility as well. As an edgeguard tool, it's important to confirm moves into Meatball, like Forward Air or Back Air.

• Creates a lava pool.

This is a command grab that can set up into automatic tech chases. The aerial version has much less recovery, making it generally preferred over the grounded version. This move has quite a high startup, however, and it can be easily countered with jumping over, outrunning it, or attacking directly. Despite able to grab shielding opponents, due to being a command grab, it also loses to ParryDefault Controls

KB: , making the risk of missing it when misspaced especially bad. Curiously, it can also grab opponents on ledge which are normally ungrabbable.

The grounded version will stop just past ledge, allowing for Loxodont to immediately drop down and grab ledge. It's also possible to stay onstage by holding back during travel. The airborne version can lead into spikes offstage, with potential early kills with Down Air or Down Special. Keep in mind, however, that these can be wall teched.

This is also Loxodont's primary tool for getting to the wall to start a wall jump recovery. However, because of its slow speed and lack of protection above, this can be very exploitable. It's best to position carefully when deciding where to use this move.

• Creates a lava pool.
• This move can only be ended by landing or grabbing ledge.
• Loxodont can start grabbing ledge on frame 47, while falling.

Loxodont jumps up wielding his axe, briefly stalls in the air where he vulnerable, and falls back down with his axe. This move is gigantic when active, covering almost all of Loxodont's body and his axe. If he lands, there is an additional landing hitbox that will send characters upward, often preventing them from teching from the downward hit. This move will start grabbing ledge when moving downward. The move has a bit of horizontal drift, but not major.

This tool is his primary tool for getting back to ledge. It's quite linear, but it has a large uncontestable hitbox, making it extremely difficult to challenge with direct hits. Because of the long animation, however, it is very susceptible to getting parried or wall teched, especially when the first hit is shielded and the second hit is parried out of shield. This can be avoided by doing Up Special in the reverse direction, but this loses to any attacks put out by the opponent, making Loxodont have to be careful both about recovery heights as well as which direction to face when recovering.

It's still quite useful, due to its ability to stall descent as well as turn himself around with B-turnarounds, B-reversing, or wavebouncing.

The win condition.

When Loxodont has charges, Eruption will consume them all to perform a giant leap and a large explosion behind him, the hitbox dragging the opponent in the direction of Loxodont. The higher the level, the more powerful the attack and jump become. During endlag, not only can Loxodont have completely control over his aerial drift, but he can also cancel into all of his Aerials.

This move is an essential option for Loxodont's punish game. Because he's able to track DI with it, there are a lot of useful finishers he can get off it, including Tusks, Back Air, Forward Air, Down Air, etc.

This is also one of his best recovery options. Uniquely, Level 3 will restore Loxodont's double jump, but Level 1 and Level 2 provide a lot of utility too. It keeps Loxodont's recovery much more ambiguous, meaning that he can simply recover back to stage without having to go low for Up Special or go to ledge with Forward Special. Edgeguarding Loxodont can often center around waiting for him to spend his Eruption.

Because of how strong this tool is, it is imperative for Loxodont to be able to play around building magma throughout the game. If the opponent is not approaching, build up magma.

• Costs all molten charges.
• Note that the charges are articles and not a direct hit from Loxodont.
• Can cancel into any Aerial during endlag.
• Level 3 restores Loxodont's double jump.

Loxodont has quite a large grab, for good reason. It leads into a lot of reward for Loxodont, with options for mixups, combos, and kill confirms. Grab is also an important defensive option for Loxodont, as his lack of fast out of shield options makes shield grab stand out.

• All hits always tumble.

A unique "kill throw" that serves as a DI mixup, able to secure stocks. This throw importantly is split into two parts, a toss into an axe swing.

Both the toss and the axe swing have different DI patterns. DI in on the throw will cause a sourspot hilt hit, and DI out will cause a sweetspot axe hit. Both of these hits can also be DIed. This can complicate what is desirable for survival or combo DI.

This throw's killpower is incredibly DI dependent. While the sweetspot can be a reliable kill throw at high percents, the sourspot often takes much longer to have the chance to kill as a throw. This is an important DI mixup with magma Down Throw.

• Both throw and bounce always tumble.

Will put the opponent in an untechable knockdown state. Loxodont's follow up comes from reacting to the opponent's getup option, as an immediate tech chase situation.

Doing Down Throw on a lava pool will instead pop the opponent up, setting up for combos. If the lava pool is inactive, it will instantly become active and grant Loxodont one magma charge. On DI in, it can even combo into Up Strong for a kill confirm at the right percents, forming a DI mixup with Forward Throw.

• Intangible between frames 1-25.
• Ledge is no longer occupied starting on frame 31.

Hits high with a large hitbox. The move is generous with its back hit, so it can be used after grabbing ledge to send the opponent back offstage.

• Ledge is no longer occupied starting on frame 31.

Goes a long distance and places a large lava pool, making it good at catching opponents even when they aren't very close to the ledge. Loses invincibility when the hitbox comes out, making it vulnerable to trading, and has high endlag.

• Intangible between frames 1-25 with charges, frames 1-20 without charges.
• Consumes one molten charge.

Consumes a molten charge for a blast with a large vertical reach. Uniquely, this Getup Special has Loxodont fully intangible during his active frames, making it have stronger value when coupled with Getup Attack. Makes for a good reversal option, especially when catching far away opponents running into to punish. It also makes it useful for edgeguarding, particularly with the invincibility it has beforehand.

If Loxodont has no charges, this move instead produces a very weak puff of smoke, being vulnerable on the first active frame. Generally useless.
