Skye Bennett and Shino Shimoji, who voiced Pyra (and Mythra) 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].

Pyra and Mythra are collectively ranked 5th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing the Aegis in the S tier. Pyra offers higher KO power and longer range of the two, making her more suited for taking opponents' [[stock]]s. She also possesses a strong [[meteor smash]] in the form of her [[down aerial]] to [[gimp]] opponents, which has a very large disjointed hitbox, and can combo into kill moves such as [[up aerial]] and [[up smash]] when opponents are on the ground. She does have poor mobility and low combo potential, but she can swap to Mythra to cover those weaknesses.

She does have poor mobility and low combo potential, but she can swap to Mythra to cover those weaknesses. One weakness both of the Aegis share however is a mediocre recovery. Pyra's [[up special]] has her jumping up and plummeting downwards like {{SSBU|Ike}}'s and {{SSBU|Chrom}}'s, offering very little horizontal distance.

Lastly, Pyra has an overall weak grab game. While her pummel is tied with other characters as the third-most damaging in ''Ultimate'', her throws are overall weak with limited utility (especially her back throw), with only her forward throw dealing more than 8%. Her forward throw can KO at very high percentages at the edge, her up throw can position opponents for KO setups with poor DI/react time, and her down throw can force the opponent into unfavorable aerial positions, where she can follow up if the opponent does not properly react while being able to KO after 200%. However, since said throws are not as powerful as traditional KO throws, they are instead best used to position or edgeguard opponents.

Overall, Pyra is a hard-hitting, yet surprisingly versatile swordswoman who excels at punishing. She must be patient to look for openings due to her slow mobility and poor disadvantage state. In addition, Pyra is best utilized when she and Mythra have the advantage so as to alleviate their respective weaknesses and amplify their respective strengths, whereas it is considered best to switch to her counterpart to keep advantage due to Mythra's sheer flexibility and vastly superior movement

Not too long after the Aegis' release, professional players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Shuton}} have demonstrated very strong results with Pyra, particularly when used in tandem with Mythra, and her representation and results have further expanded since then. Most players believe the Aegis is top tier or even among the best characters in the game, alongside the commonly accepted {{SSBU|Steve}} and {{SSBU|Joker}}.

Pyra's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}; however, Pyra must be the one chosen as the front on the character selection screen to get her fighter spirit. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Pyra/Mythra have been downloaded. Unlocking Pyra/Mythra in World of Light allows the player to preview the second spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "Pyra (Fighter)". Her fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with her artwork in Ultimate.
