## **Character Info**

The child of famed mercenary Jeralt Eisner and known as the Ashen Demon to their foes. After a chance encounter involving bandits, Byleth awakened the power to turn back time to save a group of students. This led to an encounter with the Knights of Seiros who led the group back to Garreg Mach Monastery, a school run by the church. Byleth was offered the position of professor for one of the three houses by the Archbishop Rhea. But which house would Byleth choose? The Black Eagles led by Edelgard von Hresvelg, the future emperor of the Adrestian Empire? The Blue Lions lead by Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, the future king of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus? Or perhaps the Golden Deer led by Claude von Riegan, the future leader of the Leicester Alliance? Though they didn’t know it at the time, the decision that Byleth made that day would end up having major repercussions all across Fodlan.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Byleth will be seen standing with a blackboard behind them which they’ll tap three times with a pointer before the blackboard warps away and Byleth exchanges their pointer for the Sword of the Creator. On the blackboard players can find a variety of notes and easter eggs which can change each fight. Some of the notes you can find on the blackboard are: a weapon triangle showing that swords beat axes, axes beat lances, and lances beat swords, a goofy drawing of Lorenz’ face done by Claude, a simple message saying “Sylvain was here”,  a note from Byleth saying “Linhardt, detention at 7”, and a drawing of the Crest of Flames.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will have the male version of Byleth’s blueish-green hair atop his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Byleth lifts their hand up into the air, a smaller version of the Crest of Flames flashing in a burst of fire for a brief moment before disappearing.

**Down Taunt:** Byleth studiously pours over a book, scratching their chin between swapping pages.

**Side Taunt:** Byleth observes the last weapon they'd used, performing a sweeping or taunting motion with it while letting it shine in the sun. As this occurs Byleth will say one of two quotes. Both versions of Byleth can say either quote however Male Byleth has a greater chance to say "Let the lesson begin!" while Female Byleth has a greater chance to say "Stay focused."

### **Victory Poses**

1. The camera will be focused on the ground to start as the Sword of the Creator is seen being planted into the ground before panning up as Byleth takes a couple steps forward and the camera zooms out to reveal some of the other Heroes’ Relics embedded in the ground next to them. For Male Byleth the Heroes’ Relics are the Vajra-Mushti, Crusher, and Thyrsus while Female Byleth has the Blutgang, Luin, and Aegis Shield.
2. Byleth is seen lightly smiling and sipping tea. They are close-up to the camera, as if emulating Tea Time from "Three Houses".
3. Byleth is using his fishing rod and suddenly catches a Fódlan Fish, gripping it and showing it towards the camera with delight.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Miasma:** Byleth will use Thyrsus, the Heroes’ Relic of House Gloucester, to cast a Miasma spell. This spell manifests in the form of a dark purple, almost inky-looking, sphere of magic. This Miasma spell will fly forwards almost sluggish for about as far as Battlefield is long. When Miasma hits a target it will not only cause the typical damage and knockback, but it will also leave behind a small cloud of poison which lingers for a few seconds. Any opponent that passes through the cloud will take poison damage for every second they are there until they leave. Where did Byleth learn such dark magic? Perhaps Lysithea taught them.

### **Side Special**

**Beast Fang:** Byleth will use Blutgang, the Heroes’ Relic of The Beast and their descendants, to use its exclusive Combat Art, Beast Fang. Byleth will hold Blutgang so that its blade is against the ground before swinging it up in front of them before continuing to swing Blutgang up over their head. This attack is accompanied by a jagged-looking red arc that follows the blade though this is merely an aesthetic. Beast Fang has the unique property of dealing a higher amount of damage to beastial opponents such as King K. Rool, Spyro the Dragon, Wolf O’Donnell, and Zoroark.

### **Up Special**

**Ruined Sky:** Byleth will use the Lance of Ruin, the Heroes’ Relic of House Gautier, to use its exclusive Combat Art, Ruined Sky. Byleth will take the Lance of Ruin in hand before leaping up into the air with it and swinging it up in what can best be described as a lanced-based uppercut. The Lance of Ruin can deal multiple hits of damage to anyone it hits as Byleth jumps up into the air. At any point during this jump up to its highest point, you can press the special button again to cause Byleth to plummet downwards at an angle with the Lance of Ruin pointed downwards. The Lance of Ruin will continue to deal multiple hits of damage to anyone it touches and at this point it will trap any opponents into the attack as it drives them down with Byleth towards the ground. If an opponent is brought down to the ground by this means they’ll end the attack in the crumple state.

### **Down Special**

**Dust:** Byleth will use Crusher, the Heroes’ Relic of House Dominic, to use its exclusive Combat Art, Dust. With Crusher held up above their head, Byleth will hesitate for a moment before swinging it down in front of them with a heavy swing. This attack deals a high amount of damage to shields and can even break through some counters like Fox’s Reflector. If this attack hits an opponent dead on it will bury them into the platform. Additionally, Crusher will kick up a bevy of dust and small rocks which fly up into the air. This mix of dust and rocks deals a multitude of miniscule damaging hits to anyone who is caught in its range.

### **Final Smash**

**Heroes' Relic Onslaught:** Upon activating their Final Smash, Byleth will say “Allow me to demonstrate” before rushing forwards in a straight line with the Aegis Shield. If Byleth is able to shield bash into an opponent they’ll be trapped in the resulting Final Smash. Byleth will then proceed to attack with various other Heroes’ Relics and with each attack Byleth will take a step forward until Byleth is either standing on the edge of their current platform or until they are within a set distance of the blast zones in the case of them being on a grounded platform. The attack pattern following the shield bash with the Aegis Shield is as follows: a thrust with Luin, a downside swing with Freikugel, a slash with Blutgang, another thrust with the Lance of Ruin, a blast of flames from Thrysus, a crushing blow with Crusher, a sucker punch with Vajra-Mushti, and then finally a series of three quick sword swings with the Sword of the Creator resulting in 11 total of hits before sending Byleth’s opponent away.

### **Extra Skill**

**Divine Pulse:** Byleth calls upon Sothis' power to use this move, and you can hear the two of them shout "Divine Pulse!" when it is activated. Byleth is shrouded in a light green magic pulsation that lasts until they hits an opponent, or within 10 seconds. When Byleth makes contact, they heal damage from the most recently dished-out attack used against them while also inflicting 1.2x that damage towards the opponent on top of the normal damage of the attack that they just used. Ergo, it is most effective when used to correct damage from heavier attacks. Byleth has 3 Divine Pulses per stock. Divine Pulses cannot be stacked and must be used one at a time, with a 10 second cool-down time between uses.
