	*		*Holy seal. Mechanically, this is a multihit vertical projectile fired downwards for a set duration of time. The seal itself falls at a set speed. When the falling seal touches the ground, it will knock down, but doesn't actually affect the amount of hits/damage it does. However, because OTG hits do not deal stun or give wrath, using this wrath lower will result in less stun/wrath given, and vice versa.
			*Because of janky hitbox/hurtbox interactions, it is sometimes possible to use this as an antiair against someone jumping in on top of Mothra with a low hanging hurtbox, for example, Godzilla's d+X. Because it is mechanically a projectile, it will take priority over his melee tail when their hit/hurtboxes intersect, flinching him out of the attack before he can hit her, and then he'll fall into the rest of the wrath.
			*Each hit has relatively low projectile durability, and very high durability projectiles like Gotengo's laser cannon can remove a lot of hits from the wrath by firing into it. His small stance double cannon has so much durability that at most distances, it'll go right through the seal and hit Mothra out of it.

	*		*Battra team up attack. She charges forward and goes into a long cutscene attack. An unblockable hit type wrath with an extremely long animation, and also the highest damage wrath in the game, dealing about 70% damage on its own. This is offset by it's incredibly telegraphed and dangerously impractical input. The startup is almost instant, it has very fast travel speed, but mediocre distance, and very low vertical reach. No melee immunity, unsure about projectiles.
			*It's possible for the victim to glitch out of the animation cutscene if they hit themselves using her powder as the dash connects, allowing them to jump out and avoid damage. Mothra is invincible during the cutscene however.

	*Wing powder.		*Wing powder. Tosses out a stationary cloud that absorbs and reflect energy projectiles within itself, including your own. The reflected projectiles pierce on hit or block, continuing to deal damage as it passes the target, causing it to deal more hits the more centered into the cloud the target is. Massive damage and chip potential, but long startup and limit of 1 active cloud per Mothra makes it more of a zoning tool to threaten with than an effective offense.
			*Y version has shorter startup, lifespan, and travels a bit less than half screen. Excellent to defend yourself on reaction or to highly discourage opponent from approaching temporarily.
			*X version has much lnoger startup, lifespan, and travels 3/4 screen. This would make for a dangerous offense, if it wasn't so easy to reactively close the gap on Mothra when you see her throw this out. Mostly used as her only defense against Ghidorah's wrath.

Low damage and moderate stun, but animation is short and recovery is fast. She can followup with uf air dash for a back turned oki in some situations, so could be useful to vortex with to setup a fast stun. Damage is lower than bite throw and frame advantage is a bit worse though.

	*Izuna drop. A large single hit burst stun and ~~high~~ damage. Gives back turned oki afterwards. Long animation makes it not actually very good for stun since they're recovering during that time, and the height she ends up with means she can't get an easy unblock meaty fireball or hurricane winds, and has to risk a meaty dive bomb.		*Izuna drop. A large single hit burst stun and very low damage for a 270. Gives back turned oki afterwards. Long animation makes it not actually very good for stun since they're recovering during that time, and the high height she ends up with means she can't get an easy unblock meaty fireball or hurricane winds, and has to risk a meaty dive bomb. Has the highest guaranteed combo damage potential, but probably still her worst throw overall.

	*Dive bomb.		*Dive bomb. Her main attack, she dives down diagonally very suddenly to tackle her opponent. Although the hitbox is active very early, you'll generally want it to hit as late as possible so you can't be punished. Priority isn't very good and is easily stuffed if predicted. Will still have an active hitbox even if it hits the ground.
			*Y version is 2 hits, doesn't knockdown, and does less damage per hit, but more total damage per dive. The 2 hits frame trap, and is a bit easier to make safe since the first hit can knock back and cause the second hit to connect very late, while also pushing her opponent even further. It dives down at a steeper angle, but doesn't go down as far, nor as far horizontally. It can leave her at awkward heights where she's too far from the ground to dash to and command jump back up, but low enough to be vulnerable. Hurricane winds is almost always a good follow up.
			*X version is only 1 hit, and travels further both horizontally and vertically, and knocks down on hit. The shallower angle makes it superb for crossups, which, due to turning around frames and her continuing to move away from her opponent after the hit, is very safe. Can be confirmed into another dive on hit for massive damage. Is also safe from max range when it hits in front, but this is difficult to space due to her speed tapering off towards the end of the dive.

			*Lift off. A backwards command jump with invincible startup, but punishable recovery. One of her most important specials, without it she would just die to meaty knockdowns over and over. This at least forces her opponent to either guess or option select with their oki. Because of the appreciable backwards distance, it is not easy to punish when used miscreen. Can also be used at round start and after dive bombs to quickly recover height and get back to safety. In many cases, her safest defensive option will be to db air dash to the ground then cancelling landing recovery into this to reset herself to a safe position. It is quite unsafe and easy to option select against when cornered, since she can't use it to create horizontal distance anymore, but often times she'll have to try for it anyways if she gets herself into a situation that bad.
