How it works in Champions

The power of this move depends on (user's / target's weight), rounded down. Power is equal to 120 if the result is 5 or more, 100 if 4, 80 if 3, 60 if 2, and 40 if 1 or less. Damage and no accuracy check is done if the target has used Minimize while active.

  • Makes contact

“The user slams into the target with its heavy body. The more the user outweighs the target, the greater the move's power.”
