Hitbox visualization showing Byleth's aerial side special, Areadbhar.

Overview

Byleth lunges forward while swinging the Hero's Relic Areadbhar upward with impressive horizontal and vertical range. If the move is smash-inputted, Byleth lunges forward farther, further improving its range. The aerial version has him spin it in an arc around him, covering an area that his aerial attacks cannot, but at expense of lag. Areadbhar possesses a sweetspot on its blade, as opposed to the weaker shaft. Byleth may occasionally say "Areadbhar!" while using this move.
