SSBU/Palutena/Techniques

Preface
Palutena is a relatively straightforward, non-complex character, and as such she is very limited in terms of anything extremely advanced or execution-heavy. She's well-known for having the easiest of the teleport recoveries to cancel off a ledge, and this is a very useful trick to learn and have muscle memory for. Her other techs are very niche and not very often seen at high level - it will not be useful to spend time learning them as opposed to improving fundamentally at the game with her. That being said, the techs listed are far from useless, and again Warp Canceling is quite a good tool to have in your pocket.

Warp Cancel
Warp Canceling allows Palutena to cancel the ending frames of her Up Special off of any edge, leaving her actionable afterwards.

Why should you do it?
Warp Canceling is Palutena's easiest and most useful tech. It gives her an extra mix-up to her landing options, and with good muscle memory this can be done very consistently. The opponent can read or react to it, though, so it shouldn't be used exclusively.

How do you do it?
Essentially, each edge (including the edges of platforms as well as the ledges of stages themselves) has a specific area above it that Palutena can perform this tech from. If she uses within this area while aiming at the intended edge, Palutena will "cancel" the end of the move after she reappears by both touching the ground and falling off the edge, leaving her actionable in the air. The picture to the right gives a general visualization of the tech, but understanding how it works by practicing it is intuitive and consistent. Palutena's is the easiest of the three teleport  to cancel like this (the others being 's  and 's ) due to the comparatively large distance she slides after reappearing.
