Lucina also received a few noteworthy direct buffs, the most notable of them being to [[Dancing Blade]]: the move was sped up greatly, allowing her to link each hit into one another more reliably. A few of her moves received slight damage increases, further helping her damage racking game. Lastly, her dash attack, previously one of her more mediocre options in the previous game, also received a knockback buff, giving it more utility.

Overall, the benefits Lucina has gained from the game's engine have benefited her in several ways that heavily compensate for the direct nerfs she has received, as said nerfs affect her much less than they did to Marth due to Lucina not relying on tippers at all, while the direct buffs she received complement this. As a result of her positive changes, Lucina has been a very high-placing character in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame so far, with impressive representation and results from the likes of {{sm|Laid}}, {{sm|MkLeo}}, {{sm|Mr E}} and {{sm|ProtoBanham}}. As such, she is generally considered to be a top- or high-tier character, and is usually regarded as the best swordfighter in the game, akin to [[Marth (SSBM)|her ancestor]] in ''Melee'', {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl'', and {{SSB4|Cloud}} in ''SSB4''.

As such, she is generally considered to be a top- or high-tier character. While originally called the best swordsmen in the game, Lucina has fallen off a little after a lot of her mains have dropped the character including {{sm|MkLeo}}, in addition other swordsmen such as {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Shulk}} have been considered potentially better, gaining similarly good results.
