This will help you avoid being KO'd from a bounce, and get you back on your feet quickly!

If you get launched, try to fly in the direction with the highest chance of survival.

Your shield won't be depleted at all, and you will be able to immediately counterattack your opponent!

It tends to work the best when your opponent hasn't accumulated much damage.
Fast Falling 	Flick the left stick down while airborne to get back to the ground quickly.
Falling faster might throw off an opponent's timing, but be careful not to self-destruct!
Dash Grabbing 	Perform a grab while running to grab opponents within a wider range.
But if you miss the grab, you'll be left wide open!
Edge Meteor 	If you send an opponent flying into the side of the stage below the edge of or , they'll be bounced downward!
It's a risky play, but satisfying when you pull it off!
Stealing the Edge 	If you get close enough to grab an edge that an opponent is already hanging from, the opponent will get pushed off.
This leaves them vulnerable to your attacks!
Repeated Edge-Grabbing	Repeatedly grabbing the edge of the stage without landing can be risky.
Each time you grab an edge without landing, you become more vulnerable, and the length of time you are invincible when climbing up from an edge shortens.
If you grab it too many times, you won't be able to grab it at all!

Scintilla 	The down special will deploy a barrier of light that, after a bit, becomes Scintilla.
Or, if the barrier is struck, it will quickly change into Scintilla. It'll be stronger the more damage it takes.
This move is similar to a counter, but it will become Scintilla after a while whether or not it is struck by an attack.	
Winged Form 	If the match isn't going your way, your one wing will emerge and enhance your abilities, increasing attack power and movement speed, as well as giving you two airborne jumps and super armor at the start of smash attacks.

* Release the button quickly to shoot one large shot that bursts on impact.
* Keep holding the button or press it again to fire a scattering shot that hits a wide range.
Rage 	rowspan=5 	Become engulfed in a red aura when you are in a pinch. The power of your attacks will increase, and you can use Rage Drive.
*Stock or time battle: accumulated damage is 100% or more
*Stamina battle: remaining stamina is 1/4 or less
Rage will end once Rage Drive hits. Rage will also end if you miss with Rage Drive or take damage too many times.
Rage Drive 	You can use a powerful Rage Drive while in a Rage on the ground.
How to use Rage Drive
*→ ↓ ↘ + hold down attack button or special-move button (when facing right)
*Down special
