-*{{Sm|Cosmos|USA}} - Picked up the Aegis in the online metagame and is the most successful solo-Aegis player despite his notorious consistency. He was the first solo-Aegis player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}}, and had come close to winning several other majors, including placing 2nd at {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} and {{Trn|L'Odyssée - Chant I}}. Outside of those performances, he is also known for winning the superregional events {{Trn|Mega Smash Mondays 240}} and {{Trn|Shine 2022}}.

 *{{Sm|MkLeo|Mexico}} - The greatest ''Ultimate'' player of all time. He picked up the Aegis in the online metagame, and has frequently rotated them in and out of his character roster. He was the first Aegis player to win a major, winning {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} with a mix of the Aegis and {{SSBU|Byleth}}, and has since gone on to win three other majors where he used the Aegis for more than a few sets, including winning {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind}} with only them.
 *{{Sm|Shuton|Japan}} - One of the greatest Aegis players of all time, having been playing the characters alongside his signature {{SSBU|Olimar}} since the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic]] metagame. He has won three majors where he used the Aegis for more than a few sets, including winning {{Trn|Wave 2}} and {{Trn|Wave 4}} with primarily them.

 Since the Aegis' release, they have received very positive reception from competitive players. This is largely owed to Mythra's outstanding mobility and frame data, overall one of the best in the game, alongside her unique Foresight ability, though this is at the cost of her damage output being largely unimpressive. On the other hand, Pyra brings to the table overwhelming power and range, while losing out on mobility and, to an extent, frame data. These polarized attributes overall complement each other very well and leave Pyra and Mythra with few collective weaknesses, most notably a poor recovery with mediocre distance and vulnerability to edgeguarding. As a result, they have seen strong usage since their debut, with {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, and {{Sm|Shuton}} using them to place highly at multiple major events. This strong reception led many players to consider them as one of the best characters in the game, and they were ranked 2nd on the first tier list, ranking in the S+ tier alongside {{SSBU|Steve}} and {{SSBU|Joker}}.
-Following the first tier list, the Aegis's overall representation took a noticeable hit as more players were able to exploit their weaknesses, most notably their poor recovery. Although Mythra's speed allowed her to overwhelm other characters and match the speed of faster characters, her mediocre KO ability and lightweight meant that she was also vulnerable to being KO'd earlier. Conversely, although Pyra has the raw power, her slow mobility left her vulnerable to camping and being overwhelmed herself. Finally, most of the Aegis' success came from players who also used other characters, while comparatively, solo-Aegis players had less success. Due to all of this, the Aegis' representation at the top level declined slightly in 2023: most notably, Cosmos's results took a massive downturn that year, while MkLeo's results also took a hit as he dropped the Aegis from and added them to his roster several times. Nevertheless, the Aegis's overall representation remained strong, with Shuton continuing to pilot them alongside Olimar and Sparg0 successfully using the characters in certain matchups, albeit with increasingly mixed results as the year went on. As such, the Aegis only suffered a small drop to 5th on the second tier list, falling to the S-tier.
