The autolink angle easily sucks opponents into Palutena's range, making the move very flexible and consistent. Most importantly, because the final hit always launches in the direction Palutena faces, Palutena can simply hold hard forward, minimizing the distance between her and the launched opponent and giving the move very easy combo potential from a short hop, regardless of where or when the move connects. It can notoriously chain into itself at low percentages as many as four times, or combo into her other aerials for a great amount of damage. For opponents, getting caught by the move at low percents will consistently result in taking an all but guaranteed 30%-40% or more, as demonstrated in the GIF. | The autolink angle easily sucks opponents into Palutena's range, making the move very flexible and consistent.

In addition to combos from full execution of the move, the looping hits can also combo and convert into KOs. The aerial looping hits have no base knockback, but they have high knockback scaling. This gives the move drag-down combo potential at higher percents. The knockback is affected both by weight and rage, so a combination of high rage and low-weight opponents will enable drag-down combos earlier.

The knockback is affected both by weight and rage, so a combination of high rage and low-weight opponents will enable drag-down combos earlier. On frames 24-27, however, a negative hitstun modifier negates any possible frame advantage until ridiculous percents, so it is essential to land before these frames. Possible follow-ups include up tilt, jab and grab. At extreme percents, other follow-ups become possible, but the knockback also becomes high enough to incur tumble and thus enable techs. | ||
The grounded looping hits do not use the autolink angle, instead popping opponents up and slightly inward. They use set knockback, which means staleness, rage and percentage have no effect on their knockback; however, they are still weight dependent, so they will inflict more knockback/hitstun on lighter opponents. A single hit on grounded opponents can consistently combo at any percent, most reliably into up tilt. On frames 5-6 only, the staff's bottom hitbox deals slightly higher set knockback; this makes it strong enough inflict tumble and enable DI with fighters lighter than Sonic and Duck Hunt. It has the lowest priority, so on large opponents, in order to successfully land it, Palutena must space her nair correctly. With this hit, more follow-ups become possible, including even up smash on lightweights. The negative hitstun applied to the aerial looping hits on frames 24-27 also applies to the grounded hits; therefore, on these frames, single-hit pop-up combos are not possible. | The grounded looping hits do not use the autolink angle, instead popping opponents up and slightly inward.
