Tier List Placement

SSBU Rosalina & Luma Icon B Tier Tier

A unique character with excellent range, thanks to Luma

Smash Ultimate Rosalina is a duo character, much like Ice Climbers. However, unlike Ice Climbers, Luma can be placed anywhere, and will respawn after getting KO'ed. Luma gives Rosalina a powerful disjointed hitbox, which lets her attack from a safe distance without putting herself at risk. She also has good aerials and smash attacks, both of which can be used by Luma while Rosalina stays out of the opponent's reach.

Rosalina relies heavily on Luma, so she will struggle for the duration that Luma is gone, if an opponent knocks them out. Rosalina has rather poor disadvantage due to being so floaty, and is easily juggled by her opponents. Her large body is easy to hit, and what's more, her recovery move (up special) lacks a hitbox, so she is a bit prone to being edgeguarded. Rosalina players must take full advantage of Luma to safely attack and KO opponents without them breaking her zoning.
