| '''Pyra''' is one of the main characters from ''[[Wikipedia:Xenoblade Chronicles 2|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]''. She is a Blade, a personification of a weapon (in her case, the legendary Aegis sword) that can be wielded by the game's main protagonist, Rex. She was created by [[Mythra]] as an alternate personality and a gentler, more idealized version of herself. Pyra uses a variety of flame-based powers in combat, whereas Mythra uses light-based powers. Both her and Mythra were released as a singular 2-in-1 downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

| On February 17, 2021, during a Nintendo Direct, both Pyra and Mythra were announced as the fighters for Challenger Pack 9 for the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They released on March 4th, 2021. Their reveal trailer features Rex (the protagonist from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'') searching for Pyra, only to find her excitedly announce that she received a ''Super Smash Bros.'' invitation letter. Rex then laments that he thought he was going to be a fighter. A follow-up presentation showcasing Pyra and Mythra's moves in-depth occurred on March 4th, 2021, followed by their official release on the same day.

| | |
| Pyra and Mythra function as one character, with players having the option to switch back and forth between them, similarly to how [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and [[Sheik]] functioned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Pyra's moves include Flare Smash, a burning slash attack that deals good damage and knockback; Flame Nova, a spinning attack that emits fire; Prominence Revolt, where Pyra leaps into the air and crashes back down to create a burst of fire; and Blazing End, a projectile attack that has Pyra throw her sword like a [[boomerang]]. Pyra's [[Final Smash]] is Burning Sword, in which Rex appears and the two create a pillar of fire that burns and launches opponents.<ref>Super Smash Bros. (February 17, 2021).

| |
| | |
| Pyra has near average weight, being just as heavy as [[Mario]], [[Dr. Mario]], and [[Corrin]]. She is also a rather slow fighter on the ground, having a slower walk speed than [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and [[Bowser Jr.]], and runs slower than [[Villager]].
| |
| | |
| However, while Pyra's overall mobility is quite low, the majority of her attacks can deal high amounts of damage and knockback on opponents, making her a rather strong fighter on offense. In fact, most of Pyra's standard attacks are fully capable of making KOs, but they are slower to execute when compared to Mythra's attacks. Thus, Pyra is overall comparable to [[Byleth]] in her characteristics.
| |
| | |
| Prior to being revealed as fighters, both Pyra and Mythra were Legend-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]]. Pyra's spirit battle involves fighting [[Lucina]] in a red costume, representing Pyra, and [[Shulk]], representing Rex, on the [[Battlefield]] form of [[Halberd]]. When equipped, Pyra's spirit increases the damage dealt to [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]].
| |
| | |
| ====Classic Mode route====
| |
| Pyra and Mythra's Classic Mode route pits them against pairs of fighters who are similar to each other, and both Master Hand and Crazy Hand appear in the final round regardless of the current intensity.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Like female [[Corrin]] and [[Bayonetta]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|series]], Pyra's design added some skin tights covering her legs in her in-game model and artwork. Unlike her counterpart [[Mythra]], who received the same treatment in her in-game spirit, Pyra's in-game spirit has never been modified to add skin tights covering her legs.
| |
| *Although Pyra's Flare Smash (forward smash attack) is treated as a fighter ability, it does not possess any unique properties to set it apart from other forward smashes, nor is it even the strongest forward smash in the game.
| |
| **The attack deals 20% damage without damage multipliers, has 70 base knockback, and 76 knockback growth.
| |
| *Pyra and [[Mythra]] have become notably popular among the DLC fighters for ''Ultimate'', obtaining first place among the entire ''Ultimate'' roster in a Japanese popularity poll run by the Netorabo Survey Team (20,000 votes)<ref>Hane Saki.
