Smash Hero
Coming from Melee, I think the best way to get back on the ground is to take a page
from Mewtwo and warp to the ground to avoid juggles. (I'm assuming you're using
default specials.)
I can't say for sure if these tactics will work against the characters you mentioned,
since I've never faced them with Palutena yet, but you can try to reflect Luma Shot
if you see it coming and Warp to escape uncomfortable situations. And don't hesitate to
smash Luma if he's close to the edge. As for Sheik, you'll just have to be very patient
and maybe take some lumps while you figure out their patterns. Try using F-smash
at max range for the windbox if they charge in to throw them off, and see how they react.
If Sheik short-hops forward at you, maybe a short-hopped Uair could beat her Fair?
A well-spaced Fair may outreach it, too. And of course, counter predictable attacks.
In general, I would say the goal is to frustrate ground approaches with AutoReticule
and well-spaced Fsmashes, so that they jump into the air where you can catch them
with your speedier aerials, most notably Uair for it's great hitbox. Don't use Usmash
on air opponents unless you know for sure where they'll land.
