Template:Pyra and Mythra in competitive play (SSBU)
Use this template to store information relevant to the metagame of Pyra and Mythra in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Tier placement and history
Since the Aegis' release, they have received very positive reception from competitive players. This is largely owed to Mythra's outstanding mobility and frame data, overall one of the best in the game, alongside her unique Foresight ability, though this is at the cost of her damage output being largely unimpressive. On the other hand, Pyra brings to the table overwhelming power and range, while losing out on mobility and, to an extent, frame data. These polarized attributes overall complement each other very well and leave Pyra and Mythra with few collective weaknesses, most notably a poor recovery that can easily be edgeguarded. As a result, they have seen strong usage since their debut, with Cosmos, MkLeo, Sparg0, and Shuton using them to place highly at multiple major events. This strong reception led many players to consider them as one of the best characters in the game, and they currently sit at 2nd on the current tier list, ranking in the S+ tier alongside Steve and Joker.
