Charging is required to use Upper Calibur. As its name suggests, Upper Calibur starts with an upper slash after releasing the charge. If the upper catches any opponent, the user will then perform a series of quick aerial slashes to the target(s), and finish by slamming them onto the ground with a heavy slash. If the upper misses, this attack will stop immediately. | Charging is required to use Upper Calibur. As its name suggests, Upper Calibur starts with an upper slash after releasing the charge.

The upper cannot be blocked by normal ways of [[guard]]. In Version 4.0.0 of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', the upper can be blocked by some [[Copy Abilities]]/allies with special guard including [[Ice]], [[Spider]], [[Rick & Kine & Coo]], [[Gooey]], [[Dark Meta Knight]], [[Magolor]] and [[Taranza]]; prior to Version 4.0.0, the upper could not be guarded by any means.

Meta Knight can also make use of Upper Calibur in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', and if he catches Kirby, the attack plays out with special camera angles. Unlike in ''Star Allies'', all slashes from the attack ''do'' deal damage. If Kirby uses [[Sword]] or one of its [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolved variants]] to parry the attack, he can use his sword to push back against Meta Knight (via the player mashing the attack button). If successful, Kirby will momentarily disarm Meta Knight and leave him open to attack.

If, at that point, Kirby touches his sword to become Meta Knight Sword Kirby, the masked swordsman is forced to use a backup sword for the remainder of the fight. The timer in the [[Colosseum]] pauses when Upper Calibur successfully hits Kirby and resumes when the combo ends. If Upper Calibur hits [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], it does not trigger a cutscene. Instead, it simply deals damage. | ||

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', [[Kirby]] is able to use the Upper Calibur after [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolving]] [[Sword]] to [[Meta Knight Sword]] with the Blueprint obtained after completing the Meta Knight Cup in the [[Colosseum]]. Rather than being a charged attack, it is instead performed by repeatedly attacking after a Sword Slide and Upward Slash, serving as an upgraded variant of Sword Dive. | In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', [[Kirby]] is able to use the Upper Calibur after [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolving]] [[Sword]] to [[Meta Knight Sword]] with the Blueprint obtained after completing the Meta Knight Cup in the [[Colosseum]].
