| lore = An Erune woman blessed with myriad talents, chief among them the abilities to wield a magic bow and to sustain flight completely unaided. She once acted as a guardian for her home village, watching over an altar where a sinister force was enshrined. But she grew tired of the mundane regimen and abandoned her post. Now she wanders wherever the wind takes her. Her arrows are a reflection of this freedom—unhindered by any obstacle and sure to find their target. Once she sets her eyes on a mark, there’s nowhere to hide.

* PLUS ON BLOCK.
===<big>{{clr|2|f.M}}</big>===
Long but slow {{clr|1|f.L}}, sometimes sadly your only punish move with your best follow up being [[GBVS/Metera#Starry Sky|Starry Sky]]. It hits low, which can surprise your opponent. You can also push the opponent out with strings like '''{{clr|1|f.L}} > {{clr|1|f.L}} > [[GBVS/Metera#Starry Sky|Starry Sky]]/[[GBVS/Metera#Unique Action|4U]]''' to maintain Metera's range for zoning. Alternatively, you can do [[GBVS/Metera#Unique Action|5U]] to hop into their face with an air normal.

===<big>{{clr|3|f.M}}</big>===
* Very big poke on the x and y axis.
<div class="attack-container">
Covers a good amount of space and doubles as a pseudo anti-air. The pushback on block gives you enough space to walk backwards to dodge and punish a counterpoke. Great for stopping people who jump and block, but has the same clash level as most {{clr|2|M}} air normals.

==== ====
===<big>{{clr|3|f.H}}</big>===
Possibly her farthest non-projectile poke, and rather slow for the purpose. Can be decent as an anti-air where her other options wouldn't hit, besides it being a grounded normal making it air-unblockable.  Will stuff crossovers due to its hitbox extending below the knee of the opponent.

Metera fires an arrow from her bow. This is treated like a projectile, which essentially makes any Starry Sky cancel act like a two-hit fireball instead of just one. Big buffer window for specials cancels so your next move will startup the frame they block or get hit.

* Major anti-air move and combo starter/extender. Is a projectile and can therefore be blocked in the air
===<big>{{clr|3|2H}}</big>===
* Using {{clr|4|2H}} makes the arrow fly in a 45° angle, while using {{clr|4|1H}} makes it fly at a much steeper angle, which is useful against people jumping very close to Metera and trying to get a crossup.

|description=
* Triggers Aetherial Seal and good for shooting charged Aetherial Seals
* Treated as a projectile.
* No pushback on block which can lead to frametraps like {{clr|4|2H}} > delay The Great Fall({{clr|4|H}}) or {{clr|4|2H}} > delay Starry Sky({{clr|4|H}})
** Air-blockable, due to being considered a projectile.

* {{clr|3|2H}} makes the arrow fly at a 45° angle.

Huge hitstun on counter hit, they won't recover until they hit the ground. Allows combos like {{clr|3|2H}} > {{clr|4|5U}} > {{clr|3|j.H}} for big damage against jump-happy opponents. Even though it's air blockable, Metera can still start pressure afterwards using 5U.


===<big>{{clr|4|1H}}</big>===
1H, in comparison to 2H, is great at hitting people who jump/superjump on top of you.

Metera's {{clr|3|j.M}} is solid air poke with good attack level and fast startup for its range. These factors means it plays a great role in both offense and defense. Being a 2-hit move allows Metera to do solid high/low mixups with slightly changing the timing of {{clr|3|j.M}}.

Travels higher than a standard projectile, so it won't hit crouching foes at a distance. {{clr|1|L}} fires a slower shot, {{clr|3|M}} fires a faster shot. You cannot fire a new Starry Sky (High and low) before the former one disappears, is blocked or hit. All versions activates Aetherial Seal. When the {{clr|4|H}} version is used to knock down for juggle combos, Starry Sky (High) floats a little bit higher than the low version.

When used midair, Metera fires at a downward angle. {{clr|1|L}}&{{clr|4|H}} fires at a steep downward shot, M fires a more horizontal shot. Good for counter-poke or disrespecting the ground fireball wars of puny mortals. {{clr|1|L}}&{{clr|3|M}} ver. totally cancels your original momentum with a small forward hop, while {{clr|4|H}} ver. only slows you down, which makes a bit difference when need to be really precise. {{clr|3|M}} midair arrow will cause a HKD on counterhit.

Travels lower than a standard projectile, so it'll hit crouching foes but can be easily jumped over. {{clr|1|L}} fires a slower shot, {{clr|3|M}} fires a faster shot. Activates Aetherial Seal, however it usually goes under {{clr|1|L}} and {{clr|3|M}} versions.
Usually you tend to save this and use Starry Sky (high) to get a HKD because Starry Sky (low) is tied to Starry Sky (air) backward, but it really depends. {{clr|3|M}} midair arrow will cause a HKD on counterhit

Performs a powerful jumping somersault kick. If you're close enough to your opponent when the first strike connects, Metera will perform an enhanced version for increased damage. The hitbox for the cinematic version is pretty big, but it's harder to get on an airborne opponent. This is your only reversal outside of SSBA, but it's also a decent (albeit slow) anti-air.

Overview

Overview
Metera is a keep-away character whose playstyle is to chip away at the opponent. With her arrows, using tools like Aetherial Seal change the properties of her Starry Sky to keep opponents locked down or effectively doing high damaging combos all while graciously floating about the screen with a smile on her face.

Unique Movement Options

 Metera is a projectile zoner that controls space with multiple arrows and special movement. She is able to utilize her butterflies for setplay options that can lead to big damage or additional space control.

Pros
Cons
  • Projectile Zoning: Myriad of projectiles from both ground and air to frustrate opponents with.
  • High-Damage Setups: Aetherial Seal changes the properties of Starry Sky and The Great Fall, helping set up many of her high damage combo routes and pressure.
  • Double Jump: Can double-jump using Zephyr hop, an amazing tool for pressure and escaping.
  • Evasive: Starry Sky (Low) low-profiles, and combining that with Starry Sky (Air) and Zephyr hop make sure that opponents can't easily touch her.
  • Fast backwalk Speed: She has one of the fastest backwalk speeds in the game, good at making some characters whiff normals
  • Lower Health: Has 9500 health points rather than the average 10000 health, along with Ferry.
  • Slow Normals: Her fastest normals are slower than most of the cast and also have short reach.
  • No Meterless Reversal: No reversal besides her super, making it very difficult for her to escape corner pressure.
  • Situational Anti-Air: She has numerous Anti-air options between (1/2H), The Great Fall, and f.5M, but each have their own weaknesses so you can't only rely on one.

Normal Moves

  • 6 frame startup, slower than average.
  • 0 on block, less than average.
  • Gatlings into 2L, itself, and her Autocombo.

Metera's fastest standing normal. Your goal is to not be here unless it's on your own terms.

  • Fast punish starter.
  • Hitbox extends behind Metera.
  • Links into itself and 2M on CH.

The reverse hitbox isn't very useful as the move doesn't reach very far above her. You're better off using 1H instead. Connecting this normal usually means finishing her autocombo to try and push opponents out.

  • Hits 3 times.
  • Metera's strongest punish tool.
  • Situational anti-air thanks to its tall hitbox.

Slow and rewarding tool for punishing DPs and SBAs. You can cancel it into specials or auto combos on any hit that connects. 5H(1) combos into 5U > j.M, but it's pretty situational and generally only worth it for style.

  • Super cancelling c.XX instead of c.XXX leads to more damage.

Purely combo filler to add damage before cancelling into a special move. On block, doing 4U after auto combo is a simple way to retreat and reset neutral.

Great at checking opponent ground movement as well as catching rolls. Can interrupt some far reaching specials moves from reaching you due to being slightly disjointed. It's fast recovery means it can also safe jab 9 frame DPs on their wakeups.

Covers a good amount of space and doubles as a pseudo anti-air. The pushback on block gives you enough space to walk backwards to dodge and punish a counterpoke. Great for stopping people who jump and block, but has the same clash level as most M air normals.

  • Treated as a projectile.
  • Special and 5U cancelable.
    • Cannot cancel on projectile clash.
  • Actives Aetherial Seal.

Metera fires an arrow from her bow. This is treated like a projectile, which essentially makes any Starry Sky cancel act like a two-hit fireball instead of just one. Big buffer window for specials cancels so your next move will startup the frame they block or get hit.

  • Treated as a projectile.
    • Air-blockable, due to being considered a projectile.
  • Special and 5U cancelable.
    • Cannot cancel on projectile clash.
  • 2H makes the arrow fly at a 45° angle.
  • 1H makes the arrow fly at a tighter, 15° angle.
  • Actives Aetherial Seal.

Huge hitstun on counter hit, they won't recover until they hit the ground. Allows combos like 2H > 5U > j.H for big damage against jump-happy opponents. Even though it's air blockable, Metera can still start pressure afterwards using 5U.

1H, in comparison to 2H, is great at hitting people who jump/superjump on top of you.

Ground Versions
  • L version is slower, M version is faster.
  • H version hits 3 times and gives a hard knockdown.
  • Easy Input deals 100 chip, Technical Input deals 150.
  • Activates Aethereal Seal.

Metera cannot fire a new Starry Sky (High/Low) before the former one disappears off screen, gets blocked, or hits the opponent. Travels higher than a standard projectile, so it won't hit crouching foes at a distance. Cleanly goes over lower hitting projectiles.


Air Versions
  • L version cancels momentum.
  • M version cancels momentum and causes a Soft Knockdown on counterhit.
  • H version hits 3 times and gives a hard knockdown.
  • Easy Input deals 100 chip, Technical Input deals 150.
  • Activates Aetherial Seal.

Metera fires at a downward angle. The L & H versions fires at a steep downward shot, M fires a more horizontal shot. Good for counterpoking. The H version in particular is infamous for being a high damage throw bait.

Metera cannot fire a new Starry Sky (High/Low) before the former one disappears off screen, gets blocked, or hits the opponent. Cleanly goes under higher hitting projectiles. Forms a basic conditioning game with High Starry Sky, as the high version can be crouched under but recovers much faster.

  • Hold down the button to make L & M butterflies to fly ~45° upward.
  • L and M versions spawn 1 butterfly, H version spawns 2.
  • H version does not flutter past the corner.
  • Any move that fires an arrow triggers the explosion.
    • These include: f.H, 2H, 1H, Universal Overhead, Starry Sky (High and Low), and The Great Fall (Initial Arrow).
  • Easy Input explosion deals 150 chip, Technical Input deals 200.

Your setplay tool. Blow a kiss to send out butterfly that flutters across the stage. It does nothing by itself, but can be triggered to explode vertically by hitting it with any of Metera's arrow moves. The butterflies eventually will fizzle out, but the H version is the only version that stops at the stage wall. Butterflies are mostly used to extend combos, especially in corner for many of Metera's high damage routes. It can also be used to deny an opponent's approach, but it's harder to have one set up for that purpose than to have one set up after a knockdown.

Performs a powerful jumping somersault kick.

  • Easy metered air unblockable anti air super. Great for closing out rounds.
  • The range for the cinematic version is increased by using the technical input.
  • Can take advantage of the invincible frames and be used as a slow reversal, but the slow startup makes it vulnerable to safe jabs, safe frame traps and safe jumps.
