When the move is used, Byleth extends the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, reaching up above him. Should he grab an opponent, he will pull himself up to them, and leap off them, [[meteor smash]]ing them starting at 50%. It should be noted that the meteor smash is [[Tech|untechable]]. Its grab hitbox will also not work on [[shield]]ing opponents, akin to [[Fishing Rod]], [[Grappling Hook]] and [[Buster Wolf]]. This move acts as a [[tether]] recovery, and boasts quite a long range. He can also latch onto a wall, pulling himself up to and jumping off of it up to a maximum of 3 times.
When the move is used, Byleth extends the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, reaching up above him. The sword's tip can grab opponents, causing Byleth to pull himself up to them, then leap off them, much like a [[footstool jump]]. This stomp behaves as a [[throw]] that changes depending on the opponent's damage percentage when it takes place; initially, it launches them above and behind Byleth with moderate knockback, but if they have at least 50% damage (or at most 50% of their starting HP in [[Stamina mode]]), it [[meteor smash]]es them instead. The meteor smash has low base [[knockback]], but high knockback scaling, and cannot be [[tech]]ed.


The animation of the footstool has only one frame of ending lag, which can allow for combos into Areadbhar, all aerials, or his [[Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven|Final Smash]] at percents below 50%, and his aerials at much higher percentages.
In addition to the stomp's variable properties with the opponent's percent, its damage output is higher the more extended the Sword of the Creator is upon grabbing an opponent (in other terms, the farther away they are grabbed from Byleth). This is coded as a minimum of 6.5%, and can increase up to 13% at the longest possible distance, which fully affects [[knockback]] dealt by it. However, as the Sword of the Creator always extends at least some distance upon grabbing an opponent, the stomp's minimum possible damage in normal gameplay is around 7.8%. When using the move on the ground and launching an adjacent opponent into the grab, the stomp can deal damage roughly from 9.2% to 10.8%, changing depending on the opponent's size (larger characters are displaced farther when grabbed, and thus take more damage).
 
The Sword of the Creator's tip behaves as a [[hit grab]], so it cannot affect [[shield]]ing opponents, akin to [[Fishing Rod]], [[Grappling Hook]] and [[Buster Wolf]]. In terms of [[recovery]], the move is quite effective; not only does it work as a [[tether recovery]] with long range, but it also allows Byleth to latch onto a wall, pulling him up to it and jumping off it up to a maximum of 3 times.
