Palutena was heavily buffed in the transition from SSBWU/3DS. Unlike Link, Young Link, Toon Link, and Hero, her shield does not protect her when standing idle.Counter has low range compared to other characters with counter attacks.It will also not fire if the enemy has invincibility. Autoreticle will not fire if the enemy's not in range or something is blocking the way, such as a wall.Cannot take pressure from faster characters.Up Smash's hitboxes fade after reaching maximum height, meaning the attack will not hit when the beam starts to disappear.Lack of range on many moves, requiring her to be very close in order to hit effectively.High lag on most attacks, mostly for ground attacks and Smash Attacks, leaving her vulnerable.Lightweight, tall, and has a high gravity, being easy to juggle and KO.Can edge-cancel her Warp, much like Zelda with Farore's Wind.Up Smash has very high range, and has transcendent priority.Forward and Down Smashes have windboxes, being able to push opponents, although it's not a strong effect.Additionally, it is one of the few Meteor Smashes with no sourspot, meaning it will always send opponents downwards. Dash Attack and Back Aerial can block some projectiles.Good zoning with her Neutral Special, Autoreticle.
