Lucina is currently ranked 14th out of 55 on the [[tier list]]. In addition to placing her in the B tier, this renders her as the second highest ranking high-tier character, as well as the highest ranking [[clone]] and [[unlockable character]]. Like Marth, her ancestor within the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series, Lucina has good overall mobility, which gives her reliable control in her movement for both approaching and retreating. Her {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} grants her relatively long [[disjoint]]ed range, while the majority of her moveset has minimal start-up lag. By extension, Lucina has useful combo starters in the forms of her neutral attack's first hit, her neutral aerial's first hit and [[Dancing Blade]], access to guaranteed horizontal KO set-ups unique to her, and respectable KO potential courtesy of her forward smash, up smash, back aerial and [[Shield Breaker]]. | Lucina is currently ranked 14th out of 55 on the [[tier list]].

The Parallel Falchion's lack of a [[tipper]] makes Lucina's attacks less polarized than Marth's and, in turn, grants her several benefits. These include Lucina inflicting higher [[shieldstun]] at close range (which makes her slightly more difficult to punish [[out of shield]] compared to Marth's sourspotted attacks), her being slightly better at defending against close-ranged pressure (most notably against rushdown-oriented characters like Captain Falcon), and her KO potential being more consistent at high percentages. | The Parallel Falchion's lack of a [[tipper]] makes Lucina's attacks less polarized than Marth's and, in turn, grants her several benefits.
