Lightning Buster (ライトニングバスター,Lightning Buster) isMythra'sneutral special move.
Overview[edit]
When used, Mythra slashes out with her sword multiple times. The move can be charged to increase the power and number of slashes and turned around on release. While charging, the Aegis Sword has a hitbox (similar toNess's yo-yo smash attacks,Corrin's forward smash orLucario'sAura Sphere) that can lead to the rest of the move and be used as an impromptu anti-air or even as a situational combo finisher. Shortly before the first slash begins, Mythra briefly becomesintangible. The move only hits directly in front of Mythra, with the exception of the first hit, which hits both in front of and behind her.
Overall, Lightning Buster is, by far, the strongest kill move in Mythra's moveset, and her main way to finish stocks without relying on Pyra.
Lightning Buster previously had weight-independentknockback, which made it better against heavy characters but worse against light characters; this was removed in version12.0.0.
