Overview
Overview
Metera is a keep-away character whose playstyle is to chip away at the opponent, keeping opponents at bay with her Starry Sky and The Great Fall.
Uniquely however, Metera boasts a floaty jump and Zephyr, a short hop that can be used as a double jump. Combined with Aetherial Seal, Metera is also capable of attacking the opponent directly when prompted.
This interesting set of tools is kept in check by a lower health total and poor defense, meaning that Metera suffers greatly from being cornered.
If you seek a projectile zoner who can set up her own aerial offense with great flexibility, Metera may catch your eye. Metera

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
- Mobile Zoner: Metera employs a variety of projectiles such as 5H, 2H, and her Starry Sky specials, which she uses in concert with her Aetherial Seal butterflies to control space well against some members of the cast, such as those lacking in mobility. She can also be very slippery in neutral with air movement options including her Zephyr hops.
- Strong Pressure: Metera's patented "infinite pressure" sequence (using her 66L along with her far-reaching low 5L to put opponents into long blockstrings) makes her pressure much stronger than expected for a zoner. You can combine this array of plus frames with strong strike-throw options because of her TK Starry Sky and Zephyr allowing her to easily bait throws into large rewards.
- Aetherial Seal: Not only are her butterflies useful in zoning, but they play a key role in her corner oki game, allowing for multiple layers to her offense, including Brave Counter baits.
- Slower/Weaker Defensive Tools: Many of Metera's normals are slower than the average character's (such as 5L, cL, and cH). This hurts her ability to interrupt loose pressure or punish moves compared to other characters. Her 623U DP also has a relatively small hitbox up-close and requires meter.
- Common Anti-Projectile Options: Being a projectile zoner is hard work in a game where many characters can spend meter to use an Ultimate Skill that will punish fireballs for a huge reward, and some characters in the cast even have strong anti-projectile options without meter. Because so many of her moves are projectiles (such as 5H, 2H, and 623U), this can cause difficulties in dealing with certain moves.
- Resource-Hungry: Metera often needs to RS RC to get meaningful confirms mid-screen, but she also needs her BP because of her weaker defensive tools and to engage in BC wars. She has many demands on her resources throughout a match and that can limit her opportunities to cash out or put her in dangerous positions if her resources are not managed carefully.

StartupThe amount of time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame.
ActiveThe amount of time during which an attack can hit the opponent. Numbers in parentheses refer to gaps during which there are no active hitboxes in the middle of an attack.
RecoveryThe amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking.
On-BlockA measure of frame advantage when the opponent blocks an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first. This value assumes the opponent blocks the first active frame of the attack.
On-HitA measure of frame advantage when the opponent is hit by an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first. This value assumes the opponent was hit with the first active frame of the attack on the ground at midscreen (i.e. corner-only wall bounces are not taken into account).
InvulnThe timing and duration during which a character cannot be hit. A common component of reversal moves.

Fires a cluster of arrows that pierce projectiles and cause a hard knockdown on hit. Often used for blowing through projectiles, as a whiff punish, or linked into as a combo ender. Grounded version causes a wallbounce near the corner, and also causes a wallbounce midscreen on counterhit. The counterhit wallbounce occurs most commonly when piercing projectiles because projectiles have counterhit recovery.

Metera's only true reversal outside of her supers. Fires an arrow upwards that on hit transitions to a cinematic snipe for a hard knockdown.
Because this is a projectile, it does not work against projectile-invulnerable moves. However, this also means that it detonates butterflies. Can be plus on block if you end up with butterflies next to you on defense, and it can also be used during butterfly oki setups as a Brave Counter bait.Level

A powerful somersault kick with invulnerable startup. If it hits at close range, Metera zooms away to loose a fire arrow for a damage-increasing cinematic ender.
As it's air unblockable (unlike Metera's projectile 2HGuardAllStartup11RecoveryTotal 40Advantage-8), this move can be a rewarding anti-air option against opponents forward empty jumping in neutral. However, despite the animation the move only hits in front of Metera as she rises meaning it can whiff on opponents directly above or behind her.
Having invulnerable startup means it can be used as an expensive and rewarding Dragon PunchA move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.-esque reversalTo perform an attack as soon as possible after getting knocked down or leaving hitstun/blockstun., but its slow startup makes it vulnerable to safe jumpA very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening.s, safe jabs, and safe frame trapAn offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own.s. Metera has access to a cheaper and faster invulnerable reversal in 623UGuardMidStartup8Recovery25Advantage-24, so carefully evaluate both the match situation and the opponent's offensive habits before attempting to use her Skybound Art in this way.

- Metera's Fullscreen Projectile super. Used to punish any fireball ball or high recovery move full screen.
- Air blockable
- On the ground, the opponent is not able to spot dodge to fully avoid damage. They can roll if they are close enough to swap sides, however.
- The range for the cinematic version is increased by using the technical input.
- The Last hit will trigger Aetherial Seal
- Good for setting up a chip kill situation from afar.
- Does ~5% Chip Damage with Easy Input and ~7% with Technical Input.
