If you don't have Smash Ultimate, you'll probably have no idea what the fuck I'm about to talk about it. You've been warned.
Anyways, Amiibo for SSBU is very interesting, as the figures work differently for this game. In this one, an Amiibo acts like a fighter itself, known as an FP (Figure Player... Yeah, nice naming, Nintendo-).
These FPs can be trained up and become merciless fighters in the arena. If you scan an Amiibo that is ANY of the characters on the roster, it will become a Figure Player. If not, you can still get rewards in some form, like Spirits.
In the first few levels, your Amiibo is basically a walking punching bag. You'll have to beat up, down, and all around to make it become the fierce fighter you want it to be. I know, sounds very abusive, but it's the only way-
An Amiibo starts at Lv. 1, and goes all the way to Lv. 50. What's very cool about it is that it will still learn new things even at max level.
As of this moment in writing this, I have five Amiibo. Mario, Bowser, Joker, Inkling (favorite), and Hero.
Amiibos can also be nicknamed, which is what I did for them. They are...
Oiram (Mario)
King Koopa (Bowser)
Phantom (Joker)
Laura (Inkling) (Surprise, surprise-)
Villain (Hero)After doing a lot of experiments with them, I finally can conclude who's stronger than who. From weakest to strongest, they are...
Phantom
Oiram
Laura
King Koopa
VillainAmiibo can also gain the power of Primary Spirits, and inherit abilities from Support Spirits, which makes them even more powerful. They will also gain a personality type from the Primary Spirits as well, along with either increasing or decreasing their Attack and Defense stats.
