'''Mythra''' ({{ja|ヒカリ|Hikari}}, ''Hikari'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was confirmed as a playable character alongside {{SSBU|Pyra}} during the February 17th, 2021 [[Nintendo Direct]], and both of them were released as part of Challenger Pack 9 on March 4th, 2021 in {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}. She can transform into Pyra using her [[down special move]], [[Swap to Pyra]]. While her moveset is similar to Pyra's (aside from three of her [[special moves]] and [[Final Smash]]), she is not classified as an [[Echo Fighter]], and is instead a semi-clone of Pyra. As such, Mythra is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #80]]. | '''Mythra''' ({{ja|ヒカリ|Hikari}}, ''Hikari'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Skye Bennett and Shino Shimoji, who voiced Mythra (and Pyra) in the English and Japanese versions of ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' respectively, reprise their roles in the international and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'' with new voice clips, the former of whom initially confirmed her reprisal [https://twitter.com/sdsjb/status/1362171529283457029 via Twitter]. | Skye Bennett and Shino Shimoji, who voiced Mythra (and Pyra) in the English and Japanese versions of ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' respectively, reprise their roles in the international and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'' with new voice clips, the former of whom initially confirmed her reprisal [https://twitter.com/sdsjb/status/1362171529283457029 via Twitter]. | ||
Mythra and Pyra are | Mythra and Pyra are ranked 2nd out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing the Aegis in the S+ tier. Mythra offers faster frame data and a larger combo game of the two, making her more suited for racking up damage. She also possesses the [[fighter ability]], [[Foresight]], which allows her gain the frame advantage when dodging as her opponent attacks her at the cost of taking a little damage, akin to {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}'s [[Bat Within]]. She does have low KO power, but she can swap to Pyra to cover that weakness. | ||
==Attributes== | ==Attributes== | ||
Mythra is the faster component of the Aegis, possessing vastly superior mobility and overall frame data to her counterpart (mainly in regards to overall duration in terms of ending lag), but weaker attacks and overall shorter range. Like Pyra, she is a middleweight, albeit on the lighter end of the weight class, due to weighing the same as the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Steve}}. Mythra boasts the 11th fastest [[air speed]], 8th fastest [[walk]]ing speed, 7th fastest [[falling speed]], 7th highest [[gravity]] value, 5th fastest [[dash]]ing speed, and the fastest initial [[dash]] in the game, as well as decent [[traction]]. However, Mythra's [[jump]] height is below-average, while her [[short hop]], [[double jump]] and [[air acceleration]] values are merely average. Overall, these traits make her a character similar to the likes of {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBU|Sheik}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}} or {{SSBU|Little Mac}}; she is a very fast and generally offense-oriented character who excels at whiff [[punish]]ing, [[tech-chasing]], [[combo]]ing, [[juggling]] and maintaining stage control in the [[neutral game]], and has access to useful burst options as well. | Mythra is the faster component of the Aegis, possessing vastly superior mobility and overall frame data to her counterpart (mainly in regards to overall duration in terms of ending lag), but weaker attacks and overall shorter range.

[[Neutral attack]] is Mythra's fastest move, coming | One of Mythra's greatest strengths is the speed and utility of her grounded moveset. [[Neutral attack]] is Mythra's fastest move, coming on frame 2; this makes it useful for intercepting opposing attacks or sometimes even approaching, the latter thanks to her incredibly fast ground speed. As a swordswoman who fights with her respective [[List of swords#Aegis Sword|Aegis Sword]], almost all of Mythra's standard attacks (barring the first hit of neutral attack) are also [[disjointed]] as well, aiding her in directly challenging incoming attacks. | ||
Mythra's three [[tilt attack]]s are very quick moves, with each possessing the ability to start or extend combos. [[Down tilt]] has fast startup and very low ending lag, as well as fairly low knockback even at very high percents, allowing it to combo into most of her standard moveset; [[up tilt]] can combo into itself and/or most of her aerials; and even [[forward tilt]] can combo at low to mid percents. The speed of Mythra's tilts can make them difficult to react to, and good spacing can sometimes potentially also make them difficult to [[punish]] as well. Her [[dash attack]] is fast by swordfighter standards, coming out on frame 9, and it also provides her with solid forward momentum that makes it fairly useful as a burst option. Finally, her [[smash attack]]s are decently fast KOing options with solid ranges: forward smash comes out on frame 14 and is her strongest smash attack with the most range, but has the slowest startup of her smashes; up smash comes out on frame 9 and has a lingering hitbox, making it a decent [[out of shield]] option from the front; and down smash is her fastest smash attack, coming out on frame 8, and hits twice simultaneously on both sides. However, Mythra's smash attacks are fairly weak; they only KO at moderately high percents, even when fully charged. | Mythra's three [[tilt attack]]s are very quick moves, with each possessing the ability to start or extend combos.

Mythra's aerial attacks are quite effective. Her up, back and down aerials can all [[autocancel]] in a short hop, and except for down aerial, all of her aerials come out on frame 10 or sooner. [[Neutral aerial]] hits three times and provides good coverage all around her; similarly to {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s, it also possesses a landing hitbox, which can be used to start combos. Her [[forward aerial|forward]] and [[back aerial]]s are good combo finishers (with back aerial more importantly also being useful for starting or extending combos), covering a decent area in front and/or behind her. [[Up aerial]] is a good juggle move, and has an extremely generous autocancel window, even more so than all her other aerials. Finally, [[down aerial]] completely lacks the [[meteor smash]]ing capability of {{SSBU|Pyra}}'s equivalent move, but it is Mythra's most damaging aerial attack if hit with the clean hit of the move, and possesses the most KO power of her aerials as well. | Mythra's aerial attacks are quite effective.

Mythra additionally possesses fairly versatile special moves. [[Lightning Buster]] is a chargeable move that comes out on frame 9 when uncharged; charging it increases the move's power, and the move even possesses a hitbox on Mythra's sword while charging (nicknamed the "bustersaw" hitbox); it can KO most opponents near the edge at around 100% with a mild charge, and it can even be used off-stage as a mixup to cover airdodges. Lightning Buster can even be reversed after charging, similarly to {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}'s [[Blurring Blade]] and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s [[Shadow Flare]], which can potentially be used for [[mindgame]]s. [[Photon Edge]] is a useful burst option directly which can hit up to six times and has decent damage output as well; it can be difficult to challenge thanks to the move's hitboxes being placed on the multiple visible Mythra duplicates, none of which have a hurtbox, and it can also be used as a horizontal recovery option as well. [[Ray of Punishment]] starts on frame 10, making it a decent [[out of shield]] option when combined with the initial slash's hitbox, and the initial slash in particular combos into the resulting projectile fairly well thanks to its unusually high hitstun; holding the special button or pressing it more than once turns the move into Chroma Dust instead, with the singular downward projectile instead replaced with multiple smaller projectiles. Ray of Punishment in particular is also an excellent combo finisher as well. As a recovery move, Ray of Punishment/Chroma Dust is capable of sweetspotting ledges while rising, and if Mythra goes past a ledge, the projectile(s) can somewhat cover her ledge grab. Lastly, her down special, [[Swap]], swaps her out with {{SSBU|Pyra}} while granting some intangibility during the switch, allowing the player to switch playstyles on the fly. | Mythra additionally possesses fairly versatile special moves.

Mythra's [[grab]] game is not nearly as overwhelming as the rest of her moveset, but it is not without its uses. Her standing grab has average range, but it is slightly disjointed and is tied for the fastest in the game startup-wise. Her [[dash grab|dash]] and [[pivot grab]]s also have similarly slightly disjointed grabboxes as well, with the former in particular additionally having decent forward momentum that can be enhanced with a [[boost grab]]. Her [[pummel]] has average speed but an above-average damage output, making it a decent one overall. [[Down throw]] is her most damaging throw, and it is also her main combo throw, leading into any aerial (except for down aerial) as well as Ray of Punishment at low to medium percentages. [[Forward throw]] can confirm into dash attack at low percentages against many characters, and can also set up tech-chases and edgeguards quite effectively. [[Back throw]] can combo into dash attack against certain fast-fallers, and it can be used for positioning or setting up edgeguards as well, but is less useful than down and forward throws. Finally, her [[up throw]] can combo into Ray of Punishment at very low percentages, but is otherwise not very useful; however, it is difficult to react to and can potentially set up juggles. | Mythra's [[grab]] game is not nearly as overwhelming as the rest of her moveset, but it is not without its uses.

Overall, Mythra is an incredibly quick swordswoman who excels at zone-breaking, pressuring, tech-chasing, and stage control. She also has respectable combo potential, and is decent at juggling and, like Pyra, punishing (albeit not to the same impact as her counterpart). In addition, Mythra is best utilized when she and Pyra have the advantage so as to alleviate their respective weaknesses and amplify their respective strengths, and when horizontal recovery distance is required, whereas it is considered best to switch to her counterpart to keep advantage due to Pyra's vastly stronger attacks and more impactful punishes. | Overall, Mythra is an incredibly quick swordswoman who excels at zone-breaking, pressuring, tech-chasing, and stage control.

Despite her glaring and exploitable weaknesses, Mythra's strengths compensate for them, and players like {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|Shuton}} have demonstrated in offline competitive play that she is indeed a competitively viable character, especially when used in tandem with Pyra via Swap.

Mythra was slightly nerfed via game updates. In update {{SSBU|12.0.0}}, she received several changes that are partially shared with her counterpart Pyra. Shared changes include increased hitstun on the second hit of her neutral attack, as well as reduced pushback against opponents while she is charging her forward smash, with the latter of the two being intended to prevent opposing attacks from whiffing against her during that state. Additionally, Mythra has less intangibility on her directional air dodge, preventing her from performing a completely intangible air dodge toward a ledge while recovering back to the stage; and Lightning Buster no longer has weight-independent knockback, which improves its KO potential against lighter characters, but worsens it against heavier ones. In update {{SSBU|13.0.1}}, she received a small reduction to the knockback scaling on her forward smash, weakening its KO potential. | Mythra was slightly nerfed via game updates.

Up to three opponents can be caught by the initial hit, whereas bystanders who didn't get caught by the initial hit can still get hit by the beam barrage. Compared to Pyra's [[Burning Sword]], Sacred Arrow deals more damage, but the final hit is weaker. | ||

The Mythra spirit is called as reinforcements by Galeem and is placed directly in front of {{SSBU|Palutena}} and the real {{SSBU|Master Hand}}, making her an obligatory fight to achieve the true ending. Defeating this spirit does not unlock her and Pyra as a playable character; rather, they are unlocked after downloading them and defeating at least 10 other fighters from Galeem's control, just like other DLC characters. | ||

*According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the development team considered having Rex fighting alongside Pyra and Mythra, but this was decided against due to the difficulty the team had with the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} in contexts such as [[8-Player Smash]].
