Hitbox visualization showing Pyra's forward smash.

Overview

Pyra performs Flare Smash, a two-handed downward-arcing flaming slash in front of her. It is her slowest smash attack (coming out on frame 20) and has high ending lag, but it has very good horizontal range and is extremely powerful for an attack of its kind. It can be comboed into from her down aerial at mid percentages for a highly effective KO confirm.

Aesthetic effect

Uniquely from other smash attacks, albeit with no practical gameplay effect, the move briefly leaves magma particles on the ground when Pyra slams the sword down. The collision detection for this effect is coded in Pyra's character files, checking ground with a length of 5 units and X/Y offsets [20, 3] from her position.

Trivia

Pyra performing her forward smash, as shown by the Move List.

• Despite the move's complete lack of unique properties barring an aesthetic effect, it is featured in the Move List, complete with a unique icon. It was also highlighted in Mr. Sakurai Presents as a complement to Mythra's Foresight mechanic, essentially being treated as as Pyra's fighter ability.
