Burning Sword (バーニングソード, Burning Sword) is Pyra's Final Smash.
Overview[edit]
Pyra summons Rex, who says "Do it, Pyra!" (いくよ、ホムラ！, Let's go, Homura!) and performs an overhand slash to transition into a cutscene. In the cutscene, Pyra says "Yeah, on it." (はい，レックス, Yes, Rex.), and she and Rex hold the Aegis Sword together and leap toward the trapped opponents, shouting the move’s name. The game then transitions back into normal gameplay, where Pyra and Rex summon a large pillar of fire in front of them, which then explodes; the trapped opponents are moved into the center of the pillar to prevent their escape, regardless of where they were when first hit. Pyra says "Witness our power!" (これが私たちの力です！, This is our power!) at the end of the Final Smash. Compared to Mythra's Sacred Arrow, Pyra's Burning Sword deals less total damage and has less horizontal coverage, but has much higher KO potential.
Up to three opponents can be trapped into the cutscene; if no opponents are hit, the move fails.
Instructional quotes[edit]
 Move List |
 |
Rex can hit multiple opponents with a huge pillar of fire, launching them away. This Final Smash deals less damage than Mythra's, but it has higher launch power and can more easily KO opponents. |
Origin[edit]
In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Burning Sword is Pyra's Level 4 Blade Special. The technique also serves as one of Pyra's signature moves, as she and Rex perform Burning Sword during many cutscenes. The move's animation in Smash is a recreation of its animation in battles in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
