Byleth (SSBU)/Down aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Byleth's down aerial.

Overview

Swings Aymr downward, with the ability to meteor smash opponents. Deals heavy damage, dealing 19%. Also does heavy shield damage and has long range. It is the strongest meteor smash from a down aerial move in Ultimate, with the sweetspot KOing grounded opponents starting at 85%. However, it is extremely slow to start, has a lot of ending lag, only autocancels from a double jump, and its landing lag is among the highest out of any conventional down aerial in the entire game.
