Lucario
B TierLucario excels at using his aura mechanics to become more powerful as he takes damage, making him a formidable opponent when at higher percentages. To capitalize on his strengths, focus on charging Aura Sphere to create powerful confirms and use Force Palm to punish opponents who get too close. However, be mindful of characters that can score early KOs, as they can exploit Lucario's lower hurtbox priority and short attack range, making it crucial to prioritize baiting rather than trading hits. Mastering techniques like B-reversing and wavebouncing will enhance your movement options, allowing for better positioning and evasive maneuvers.
