Sacred Arrow is Mythra's Final Smash.
Overview
Once activated, Rex will be summoned and performs a wide underhand slash of the Aegis while yelling 'Mythra, now!". If any fighters are caught, it will then transition to a brief cutscene where Mythra and Rex will hold the Aegis together and aim it directly towards the sky to summon a beam of light while shouting the move's name. It then cuts back to normal gameplay view, where a series of energy bullets begin to rain on the trapped opponents. It then ends with the two aiming the Aegis towards the fighters and firing one final beam at them. Rex then disappears once the attack has completed.
In comparison to Pyra's Final Smash, Burning Sword, though strong on its own right it is more intended to build up damage percentage. Much like Burning Sword, the move can only trap up to three opponents; however, the rain of bullets can attack any other nearby characters and potentially KO them as well.
Origin
Sacred Arrow as it appears in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Sacred Arrow is Mythra's Level IV Blade Special in Xenoblade Chronicles 2; the in-game description describes the move as "Rain down arrows of light from above to tear the enemy apart". Its depiction in Smash is an exact recreation of the original save for the trapping slash at the beginning, which is an original addition. It also lacks the original's unique condition of prevented use if a battle took place indoors.
