Final Smash: Flurry Rush; Yiga dashes forward and slashes a single opponent with their Vicious Sickle. If it connects, the Yiga Clan symbol appears and the screen darkens as Yiga assaults the opponent with a flurry of slashes (53%, devastating knockback).
Gimmick: Echo Fighter of Sheik...though, saying that, here are changes I'd make to Sheik herself to differentiate the two:
- Down Smash and Up Smash are swapped. This is more of a me thing, but the animations of the up and down Smash attacks make me feel like they're assigned to the wrong directions, hence why I'm changing them here.
- Final Smash is now Goddess Harp. Sheik plays her song and weaponizes six of the elements of the Seven Sages in the following order
- Nocturne of Shadow pulls in opponents with a black hole
- Bolero of Fire attacks with an explosion
- Serenade of Water attacks with rain
- Requiem of Spirit raises sand and stone from the ground
- Minuet of Forest attacks with a tornado of leaves
- Prelude of Light finishes with a pillar of light

3: Yiga spins their Vicious Sickle and strikes a pose resembling their battle pose.
Applause: Yiga curls their open hand into a fist and shakes it angrily.
