'''Lucina''' ({{ja|ルキナ|Rukina}}, ''Lucina'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Robin}} and the rest of the returning roster. Lucina is {{SSBU|Marth}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #21<sup>ε</sup>]].

Both {{s|wikipedia|Laura Bailey}} and {{s|wikipedia|Yū Kobayashi}}'s respective English and Japanese portrayals of Lucina from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' were repurposed for, respectively, the western and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate''. As a consequence of this, Lucina is not voiced by her current English voice actress, {{s|wikipedia|Alexis Tipton}}, who has otherwise held the role since 2017; she is one of only two ''Fire Emblem'' characters in ''Ultimate'' to not be portrayed by their current English actor from ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' onward, the other being [[Lyn]].
Both {{s|wikipedia|Laura Bailey}} and {{s|wikipedia|Yū Kobayashi}} reprise their roles as Lucina, with their portrayals from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' being re-purposed for the international and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'', respectively. As a consequence of this, Lucina is one of only two ''Fire Emblem'' characters in ''Ultimate'' to not be portrayed by their current English actor from ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' onward (in her case, {{s|wikipedia|Alexis Tipton}}, who has otherwise held the role since 2017); the other being [[Lyn]].


Lucina is ranked 28nd out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing her in the A- tier. This is a slight drop from her placement in ''Smash 4'' where she was ranked 14th out of 54, and places her above her base fighter, Marth.

This hot streak for Lucina declined following the first PGR season, as her simple playstyle allowed many players to learn the matchup and adapt to her playstyle. As several of her best representatives only used Lucina as a pocket, she was ultimately dropped with little consequences, while some solo-Lucina players that stuck around saw their results decline, most notably Mr. E. Despite this decline, players still regarded her rather highly for the next few years thanks to ProtoBanham's performances, which only served to improve in the post-online metagame after he began winning majors with a mix of Lucina and {{SSBU|Min Min}}, and the rise of {{Sm|Leon}} in Europe's tournament scene. Her representation received a hit as a result of her shrinking playerbase and the rise of other swordfighters such as {{SSBU|Roy}} and [[Pyra (SSBU)|the]] [[Mythra (SSBU)|Aegis]], and as such it never reached the heights of the very early metagame. However, her representation nevertheless remained above-average, hovering between 15th and 27th between July 2019 and December 2022. Although Lucina was no longer considered a top tier character, she was still well-regarded in competitive play, and as such she was ranked 22nd on the first tier list, placing her towards the front of the A+ tier as a high-tier character.

Following the first tier list, ProtoBanham's tournament activity declined sharply as he only attended a couple of events in 2023. Leon and Mr. E remained notable threats at majors, however their results were unable to make up for ProtoBanham's absence in top-level play. As such, Lucina's playerbase stagnated, which led her representation to drop from 27th at the end of 2022 to 45th by the end of 2023. This stagnation was reflected in her placement on the second tier list, where she fell 6 spots to 28th, placing her towards the end of the A- tier; partly responsible to this drop was the rise of [[Samus (SSBU)|the]] [[Dark Samus (SSBU)|Samuses]], {{SSBU|Sora}}, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, and {{SSBU|Corrin}} on the tier list, characters who were all previously ranked below Lucina.
