Forward Air

Forward air is one of byleth's primary neutral tools. It's her safest aerial on shield, both in terms of numbers and considering range. It has a sweet and sour spot, based on if you hit the tip or the hilt of the lance. The sweetspot has considerable killpower, being able to kill at around 80%. The sourspot can combo to some moves at low %, including most notably: fair, bair, grab, nair, utilt, and up-b.
