Wing Attack in Pokemon Survivor

Wing Attack at a glance

What Wing Attack does

Wing Attack is a Flying-type melee move. A wide wing sweep that pushes foes back.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Flying-type, which is true of 102 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. No Pokemon begins a run with it, so you only find it on level-up cards. 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.

It knocks enemies back.

Wing Attack stats by level

At level 1, Wing Attack deals 17 damage with a 0.55 second cooldown. At level 5 that becomes 36 damage every 0.41 seconds, which is 86.5 potential damage per second against 30.9 at level 1.

Potential damage per second multiplies damage by the number of hits 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.

Wing Attack level-up changes

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

• Level 2: +40% damage
• Level 3: +25% reach
• Level 4: -25% cooldown
• Level 5: full circle, +50% damage

Wing Attack evolution: Brave Bird

Wing Attack evolves into Brave Bird 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.

Brave Bird keeps the Flying type and the same slot. Its damage goes from 36 to 68 and its cooldown stays at 0.41 seconds. The move evolution guide lists all 59 evolutions and the cards they need.

• +90% damage
• +30% reach
• Full circle

How to use Wing Attack

• Melee moves aim at an enemy touching you first, then at a boss within 330 pixels, then at the nearest enemy, and wait until a target is in reach before they fire. A crowd around you takes the hits before a boss does.
• Grass, Fighting, and Bug take 60% more damage from Flying moves, while Electric, Rock, and Steel take 40% less. Enemies with two types multiply both effects. See the type chart.
• Other melee moves are Tackle, Vine Whip, and Body Slam. The moves list compares all 64.
• While your active slot holds a melee move, you take 25% less damage from ordinary hits. Pure damage such as the final fight's pillars and beams ignores that discount.
• Each Reflexes card multiplies every cooldown by 0.92 and each Power card multiplies damage by 1.10. After 5 Reflexes cards the 0.55 second cooldown of Wing Attack at level 1 becomes 0.36 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 Flying moves: see the weather guide.
