Unlike Nana and the Pikmin, Luma is controlled by the player, even when separated from Rosalina,and has a set respawn time upon being KO'd. Rosalina is always accompanied by a yellow Luma at the beginning of each battle, and while the yellow Luma can respawn upon being KO'd, it is possible for a differently colored Luma to take its place. The other Lumas are colored blue, green, red, cream<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip refers to the apricot Luma's color as cream--> (who appears almost identical to [[mariowiki:Luma (character)|Baby Luma]]), and blackish brown (who is actually {{s|mariowiki|Polari}})<!--The Rosalina & Luma: Luma's Color tip confirms that Polari is indeed the dark brown Luma-->. | ||
Rosalina & Luma are ranked 5th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier and making them the third highest ranking [[newcomer]]s. The pair are known for their powerful defensive [[neutral game]], as Rosalina can invalidate projectiles using [[Gravitational Pull]], Luma can tank hits on behalf of Rosalina and is immune to status effects, and either character can help the other ward off [[pressure]] by individually [[punish]]ing opponents. The duo also have impressive KO potential, thanks to Luma's power and many of Rosalina's moves having [[disjoint]]ed ranges. By extension, their respective movesets are both quick and useful, such as Rosalina's up aerial having impressive juggling potential, and Luma's aerials boasting approach and combo potentials thanks to their [[Lunar Landing]] technique. | Rosalina & Luma are ranked 5th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the A tier and making them the third highest ranking [[newcomer]]s.

Ideal for punishing attacks that have little ending lag, though it can also be used for pressuring and zoning. If spaced and timed correctly, it can deal up to 30%.

It has high range thanks to Rosalina's hitbox being disjointed, and has decent knockback when combined. In addition to being useful for spacing and edge-guarding, it is ideal for "pinballing" opponents between Rosalina & Luma when Luma has been sent away with [[Luma Shot]].

It comes out on frame 3, making it Rosalina's fastest attack. It also renders her head [[Intangibility|intangible]] on frames 4-11, and can hit through platforms. When combined, it is more useful to disrupt aerial and approaching opponent, even though opponents with long ranges can attack either Rosalina or Luma out of this attack.

Its very long duration makes it ideal for surprising opponents and difficult for them to punish, especially due to Luma's hitbox having very high knockback growth. It can re-position Luma to make Rosalina advance in good distance, while Rosalina can also perform a grab while Luma performs its own dash attack. | Its very long duration makes it ideal for surprising opponents and difficult for them to punish, especially due to Luma's hitbox having very high knockback growth.

It has decent overall range, possesses transcendent priority, and has the highest knockback growth out of their entire moveset.

It comes out on frame 8, which ties it with {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}'s up smash for the second fastest up smash in the game. It also has disjointed range thanks to having a hitbox on Rosalina's back, and renders her head intangible throughout its duration. Aside from KOing, it can be used as an anti-air attack, or to punish rolls because of the aforementioned disjointed hitbox. Luma's attack has very high knockback growth, though its attack does not KO until 130% because of its low damage output. It also comes out 2 frames after Rosalina's. | It comes out on frame 8, which ties it with {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}'s up smash for the second fastest up smash in the game.

It is possible to alternate the timing of the attack to confuse opponents in the process, and launches opponents in the direction where Luma is attacking. Ideal for combos, gimping, and edge-guarding, since the player can control its trajectory. It is also less punishable with Luma, due it orbiting around Rosalina while she is in motion. By extension, this quirk allows it to be used as approach option thanks to the [[Lunar Landing]], which can lead into many different follow-ups. | It is possible to alternate the timing of the attack to confuse opponents in the process, and launches opponents in the direction where Luma is attacking.

It can be used for edge-guarding and to ward off aerial approaches. While it has high landing lag, this can be mitigated by [[auto-canceling]], but only from a jump. Can be used in unison with the Lunar Landing, which allows Luma to diagonally launch the opponent, and thus be followed up with up smash at very low percents and with up aerial at higher percents. | It can be used for edge-guarding and to ward off aerial approaches.

Rosalina's hitbox deals respectable damage and is quite fast, due to coming out on frame 9, while Luma's hitbox has very high knockback growth. It has low landing lag and both hitboxes are disjointed semi-spikes, all of which make it useful for gimping and edge-guarding, especially when SHFF'd. It can also deal extra damage and knockback from the Lunar Landing, which in turn can be followed up with a grab at low percents, or act as a spacing option with a SHFF. | Rosalina's hitbox deals respectable damage and is quite fast, due to coming out on frame 9, while Luma's hitbox has very high knockback growth.

One of the most versatile up aerials in the game, Rosalina's attack has a large and disjointed hitbox, which makes it very useful for juggling, frame traps or as an anti-air option. In comparison, Luma's attack hits opponents in front of and above itself, and has high vertical knockback, which make it useful for jugging and launching opponents into Rosalina's attack. It also has high KO potential, especially if the opponent is close to the upper blast line, to the point of KOing as low as 7%. Due to it launching at 108°, however, DIing down and towards Rosalina hinders the KO potential of Luma's attack. As such, Rosalina's attack is more effective at KOing at lower percentages, thanks to it launching at 92°. | One of the most versatile up aerials in the game, Rosalina's attack has a large and disjointed hitbox, which makes it very useful for juggling, frame traps or as an anti-air option.

Possibly Luma's most viable KOing option, thanks to its very high knockback growth, and its ability to hit the opponent even if they are slightly next to Luma instead of directly below it. Although it is difficult to land, Rosalina's attack can [[meteor smash]] opponents when it is sweetspotted, whereas it semi-spikes them when sourspotted. It can also hit through platforms. | Possibly Luma's most viable KOing option, thanks to its very high knockback growth, and its ability to hit the opponent even if they are slightly next to Luma instead of directly below it.
