Fairy Wind in Pokemon Survivor

Fairy Wind at a glance

What Fairy Wind does

Fairy Wind is a Fairy-type nova move. A magical breeze in every direction.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Fairy-type, which is true of 62 of the 966 Pokemon. It reaches you as a new-move card when you level up, as long as one of your four move slots is free. 28 Pokemon begin a run with it. Each level-up draws three cards by weight from up to six new-move candidates, your move upgrades and the stat cards, so even a good move can sit out several level-ups.

Fairy Wind stats by level

At level 1, Fairy Wind deals 11 damage with a 1 second cooldown. At level 5 that becomes 15 damage every 0.75 seconds, which is 369.6 potential damage per second against 110 at level 1.

Potential damage per second multiplies damage by the number of shots and divides by the cooldown. It assumes every one lands on the same enemy and leaves out the Pokemon's attack multiplier, your cards and the type chart, so treat it as an upper bound for comparing levels and moves, not as a kill time.

Fairy Wind level-up changes

Each level-up card for Fairy Wind applies the changes below. They stack, so the level 5 row above already includes all of them.

• Level 2: +4 shots
• Level 3: +40% damage
• Level 4: -25% cooldown
• Level 5: +4 shots, +1 pierce

Fairy Wind evolution: Moonblast

Fairy Wind evolves into Moonblast when it reaches level 5 and you have taken the Power card at least once in the same run. Once both are true, a golden evolution card is always offered at your next level-up. Until then, the Power card keeps showing up with a note that it unlocks this evolution, so you do not have to hunt for it.

Moonblast keeps the Fairy type and the same slot. Its damage goes from 15 to 25 and its cooldown stays at 0.75 seconds. The move evolution guide lists all 59 evolutions and the cards they need.

• +6 shots
• +60% damage
• +1 pierce

How to use Fairy Wind

• Nova moves do not need a target: Fairy Wind fires on its cooldown wherever you are.
• Fighting, Dragon, and Dark take 60% more damage from Fairy moves, while Fire, Poison, and Steel take 40% less. Enemies with two types multiply both effects. See the type chart.
• Other nova moves are Heat Wave, Bubble, and Psychic. The moves list compares all 64.
• Each Reflexes card multiplies every cooldown by 0.92 and each Power card multiplies damage by 1.10. After 5 Reflexes cards the 1 second cooldown of Fairy Wind at level 1 becomes 0.66 seconds.
• Only the move group in your active slot fires, and every move in the group keeps its own cooldown timer. A bond, which a rift win gives you, fuses loose moves into one group.
• Weather can boost or weaken Fairy moves: see the weather guide.
