|{{bg|#D9DC2B}}|'''Kacrackle Slash'''<br />({{ja|マヒャド斬り|Mahyado giri}},<br />''Mahyad Slash'')||[[File:Hero Kacrackle Slash.jpg|200px]]||11||18||A quick slash with the Hero's sword cloaked in frost. [[Frozen|Freezes]] opponents; the sword hitbox freezes for considerably longer, having a 2× multiplier to frames frozen.

|-

If there is a metal opponent present when the menu is opened, the odds of Metal Slash appearing in the menu are multiplied by 4×.<ref>https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1158866563862126593</ref> However, in spirit battles or Custom Smash, they are instead multiplied by 0.2×.<ref>https://twitter.com/KuroganeHammer/status/1159097759305048066</ref>. [[Gold fighter]]s do ''not'' count as metal for the purposes of Metal Slash.

|{{bg|#932ED1}}|{{color|white|'''Whack'''<br />({{ja|ザキ|Zaki}},<br />''Zaki'')}}||[[File:Hero Whack.jpg|200px]]||10||8||Hero points his hand forward, sending out a slow-moving dark purple projectile. It has a chance to instantly KO the opponent, with a higher chance for it to occur the more damage the opponent has. Deals little damage and only causes targets to [[flinch]] otherwise. If reflected, the projectile will often fly back at an angle due to its erratic movement.

The formula for Whack to succeed is:<ref>https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1163394775006892032</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1163395871817383936</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1163398560076857344</ref>

...where <code>t</code> is the target's percent pre-hit limited to between 20% and 300%, and <code>u</code> is the user's percent limited to 300% or less. As a result, the final rate is always 1% when the opponent is below 20% damage, and scales up to 100% when the opponent is just below 160% damage, with a maximum extra 20% chance if the user is at 300% damage. If reflected, the new owner's percent is taken as the user's.

|-

The success formula of Thwack is identical to Whack.

|-

|'''Magic Burst'''<br />({{ja|マダンテ|Madante}},<br />''Madante'')||[[File:Hero Magic Burst.jpg|200px]]||All||5||A powerful and massive blast that grows in size, similar to a [[Smart Bomb]] explosion. It hits multiple times and is active for a few seconds. Consumes all of the Hero's remaining MP; the spell's power and range depends on how much MP the Hero has left. The damage dealt is multiplied by <code>0.2 + 0.008MP</code>, with the value being between 0.2x and 1x, depending on how much MP Hero has. With full MP, the attack will have a very wide range and high damage, covering half of Final Destination and having potential to KO anyone at percents below 50%. Due to these factors, it is widely considered to be one of Hero's most feared spells, albeit only in circumstances where Hero has at least around half of his MP remaining. Additionally, the move is blockable, with each hit having slightly reduced shield damage. Additionally, Hero can still be hit, so a projectile or large enough hitbox can cancel the move at any time. Hitting Hero during the move will not refund any MP, meaning he will be left with 0 MP regardless. As such, if Magic Burst is interrupted, Hero is usually left in a difficult position.

|-

|'''Oomph'''<br />({{ja|バイキルト|Baikiruto}},<br />''Baikiruto'')||[[File:Hero Oomph.jpg|200px]]||16||16||Increases the Hero's attack power by 1.6× and his knockback by 1.1× for 10 seconds. However, he also takes 1.2× more damage, and Oomph won't affect projectiles. When combined with Psyche Up, several of Hero's moves become extremely powerful, granting him numerous KO options: his forward smash, dash attack, back air, and down air are capable of instantly breaking shields, his up throw KOs middle-weights at around 100% at ground level of Battlefield and Final Destination, and forward and back throw at 120% at the ledge, and even earlier with rage.

|-

|'''Acceleratle'''<br />({{ja|ピオリム|Piorimu}},<br />''Piorimu'')||[[File:Hero Acceleratle.jpg|200px]]||13||16||Increases the Hero's movement speed by a significant amount for 10 seconds, similar to [[Lightweight]]; it also increases Hero's launch rate by 1.1×. His [[jump]] height becomes one of the highest in the game and he can [[Dash|run]] faster than {{SSBU|Sonic}}.

|-

|'''Kaclang'''<br />({{ja|アストロン|Asutoron}},<br />''Astron'')||[[File:Hero Kaclang.jpg|200px]]||6||5||Encases the Hero in metal and makes him impervious to both damage and knockback for 5 seconds, but also prevents him from taking any action. It cannot be canceled once activated. However, the Hero can still be KOed by another Hero using Metal Slash, and any well-timed attack is sufficient to punish him during the ending lag of the move. Using Kaclang in the air will grant the Hero a hitbox on his descent and allow him to move left and right until he lands. Unlike the standard metal status granted by the [[Metal Box]], Kaclang grants Hero [[invincibility]], meaning attacks on him will cause hitlag to the opponent, and Final Smashes that negate statuses (such as [[Critical Hit]]) will not hit Hero through Kaclang.

|-

|'''Bounce'''<br />({{ja|マホカンタ|Mahokanta}},<br />''Mahokanta'')||[[File:Hero Bounce.jpg|200px]]||14||16||A protective spell that reflects projectiles for 12 seconds. Like a [[Franklin Badge]], Bounce lets Hero act while active, and overrides Hero's [[passive shield]], allowing reflections even if he is standing and facing an opponent. One of the Hero's best approaching tools against projectile users, due to him being able to perform any action while keeping out an active reflector.

|'''Heal'''<br />({{ja|ホイミ|Hoimi}},<br />''Hoimi'')||[[File:SSBUWebsiteHero3.jpg|200px]]||7||7||Heals Hero by 11% damage. Heal is only available to be used 2 times before it will stop appearing for selection. Hero will refresh 2 uses of Heal after respawning. Taking an opponent's stock will not grant another use of Heal.

|-

|-

|'''Hocus Pocus'''<br />({{ja|パルプンテ|Parupunte}},<br />''Parupunte'')||[[File:Hero Hocus Pocus.jpg|200px]]||4||3||A spell with random effects, both positive and negative, and also can take the form of other Command Selection spells.

All the spells shown in Command Selection are spells or spell-like abilities that have previously appeared in the ''Dragon Quest'' series:

<gallery>

In their home series, each of the Heroes playable in ''Smash'' can learn some but not all of these abilities:

Other combinations of access to these spells are new for ''Ultimate''. The thinking pose Hero takes while selecting a spell is similar to one of the Luminary's in-battle idle animations in ''Dragon Quest XI''.

==Trivia==

*Command Selection is the only special move of Hero that is not a [[charge]] special.

*As Command Selection has 21 different spell commands, the Hero has the second highest amount of special moves of any character, behind {{SSBU|Kirby}}. However, Hero has the most amount of special moves available to him at once.

*According to an interview with the ''Dragon Quest XI S'' staff, who collaborated with Masahiro Sakurai during development of Hero for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Command Selection was a way to implement as many of the moveset ideas Sakurai came up with as possible, as well as appealing to beginner players by allowing the character to use powerful and satisfying moves.<ref>https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/2019/09/03/dragon-quest-hero-overpowered-masahiro-sakurai-super-smash-bros-ultimate/</ref>

*The Hero's spell menu differs depending on the language the character is played in. If the game is played in Japanese, the menu is silver, whereas in other languages, the menu is brown. This is based on the English localization of ''Dragon Quest XI'', where the menus, text boxes, etc., were changed in color.

*Whack and Thwack are the only moves that can instantly KO opponents without using items, status effects, or Final Smashes. In addition, along with Metal Slash, they are also the only moves that are capable of inducing an instant KO regardless of the target's damage percentage, even 0%.

*Kamikazee is the only move that instantly KOs its user.

*Heal is one of two limited-use special moves in the ''Smash'' series that cannot be replenished until the user loses a stock, the other move being [[Wonderwing]].

*If {{SSBU|Squirtle}} is hit by Thwack while performing [[Withdraw]], it will cause an Instant KO, but it will not trigger the [[Special Zoom]].<ref>https://youtu.be/pWku5huh2Jw?t=706</ref>
