In spite of her myriad of buffs, Palutena did still receive some notable nerfs. Although her full [[neutral attack]] connects more reliably, the first hit can no longer be used for [[jab cancel]] setups at high percents due to its altered knockback. Up tilt has fewer active frames, making it slightly worse as an anti-air attack, while back aerial's invincibility is slower and shorter, preventing it from blocking opposing attacks as consistently, and up aerial has more startup. Additionally, as Reflect Barrier can no longer be triggered on command, it is less effective for preemptively deterring projectile use. However, these nerfs are largely outweighed by the larger and more significant amount of buffs she has received, while other nerfs, such as the increased ending lag on her grabs and reduced [[shield damage]] on her projectiles, have also affected the rest of the cast. | In spite of her myriad of buffs, Palutena did still receive some notable nerfs.

Additionally, unlike other prominent characters in the metagame since the game's release, such as {{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Pichu}}, and {{SSBU|Wolf}}, Palutena has not received any drastic nerfs in [[updates]]. As a result, she is widely considered a top tier character by the ''Smash'' community, as well as one of the best characters in the game. | ||
