PAST SEASONS
S3: Lucina got her start late into Season 3. Just like many others, she didn't really have a lot of opportunities to compete/advance during this season so it wasn't counted against her. Judging from her start, I'd say her performances were pretty average. She didn't look really green but she also wasn't a stand out star. I was curious to see how she would do in the next season, when she's thrown into the mix from the get go.
S4: Lucina started out Season 4 floating around the middle of the pack. She wasn't making too many waves but wasn't really putting herself into any danger either. Right before the Top 20 is when Lucina started to step out of the shadows and show what she's made of. She started to win groups, get perfect scores and step into the spotlight. She was looking strong, and it didn't go unnoticed. Fighting with a purpose, Lucina continued to knock out Top Amiibo Wars Competitors all the way up to the Final 4 before seeing the end of her journey. She finishes Season 4 in 3rd Place.
S5: Season 5 introduced The Challenger Series, to weed out the weaker competition before the Top 20. Her scores weren't the best, but she wasn't in any danger of elimination. Lucina has a history of dropping games to Low Tier Amiibos, it's a little strange considering she can dominate most of the better ones in a 1v1. In the Top 20 she stays out of the Bottom 2/3 for the majority of the competition. Whenever she was put into any danger, she pulled it out and saved herself. In the Top 12, she was finally forced into a Bottom 3 with Ness/Dr. Mario. It was very close but two amiibos had to go, and Ness pulled it out at the last second, securing his place in the Top 8. Lucina sees a dip in her rankings as she finishes in 9th Place. The competition was fierce in Season 5, so I'd say anyone in the Top 10 did a great job.
S6: Season 6 introduces The Wildcard Preseason Event. Lucina doesn't perform well, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. She had okay 1v1 scores but when that's your specialty, it's what you really need to do well at. Because of this, her weak Phase 2 scores put her behind, and because Pit/Villager/Palutena/Mii Swordsman do really well, it puts her out of the competition. This is probably the most shocking early elimination of the season, she's always consistently scored high. But to be fair, almost every amiibo has had a weak season that sets them back. Lucina is really going to see a dip in the rankings after this one, I'm curious to see how far she will drop.
