Byleth is a tall, middleweight swordsman, yet has poor overall mobility (similarly to {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Incineroar}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}), high startup and ending lag on many of his moves, and a rather short [[grab]] range. In the words of ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Byleth is a "distance demon",<ref name=Presents>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aqVlLlKkcg Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Byleth"]</ref> since his optimal playstyle involves using his {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Heroes' Relics}} to zone out opponents at mid-range, similarly to {{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Shulk}}. Thanks to his variety of weapons, Byleth's overall range is fittingly long in line with his archetype, and his attacks are generally very strong, especially for a middleweight, although this comes at the cost of his frame data being rather sluggish. All of these traits make Byleth's general gameplan very patient: his sluggishness and strength make it important for him to plan ahead and learn the opponent's habits before covering their options with his range and arsenal of hard-hitting weapons.
Byleth is a tall [[weight|middleweight]] swordsman, yet has sluggish overall mobility (comparatively like {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Incineroar}} and {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}). For instance, Byleth is tied with {{SSBU|Zelda}} the 9th slowest [[dash]]ing speed (along with a slow [[initial dash]], tied with {{SSBU|Ridley}} for the 14th slowest), the 7th slowest [[walk]]ing speed, tied with {{SSBU|Kazuya}} for the 12th slowest [[air speed]], tied with {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}} for the 11th slowest [[air acceleration]], slightly above-average [[falling speed]], below-average [[gravity]], and low [[jump]]s, although he is tied with Ganondorf for the 14th highest [[traction]].

Thanks to his variety of weapons, Byleth's overall range is fittingly long in line with his archetype, and his attacks are generally characterized with great strength, especially for a middleweight, although this comes at the cost of his frame-data being rather sluggish. All of these traits make Byleth's general gameplan very patient: his sluggishness and strength make it important for him to plan ahead and learn the opponent's habits before covering their options with his range and arsenal of hard-hitting weapons.


Like other weapon wielders, Byleth's attacks have disjointed [[hitbox]]es that allow him to fight effectively from a safe distance. Neutral attack is a quick chain of attacks that help ward off nearby opponents, and is useful due to being his fastest attack of any kind. Due to having four weapons, each of them is assigned to different attacking directions. Like in ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Sword of the Creator}} is Byleth's default weapon, and it is wielded throughout all animations that do not involve any other weapon.
