“	And as the goddess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her	„
	~ Palutena

Background

Palutena, also known as "Lady Palutena", is the Goddess of Light, rightful ruler of Angel Land, and patron deity to Pit. She is kindhearted, benevolent, and cares deeply for the human race, as opposed to the cruel and malevolent Medusa,who despises humanity and wishes only for its destruction. It was for this reason that Palutena banished the Goddess of Darkness to the Underworld as punishment her for her evil deeds.

After Medusa was banished, she began an attack on Skyworld as revenge for what Palutena did, leading to the events of the original Kid Icarus agme. Despite this, Palutena managed to telepathically contact Pit and help him escape the Underworld. After Pit's escape, successful acquisition of the Three Sacred Treasures, and the defeat of Medusa, peace returned to Skyworld.

Later, Palutena had a vision of an unknown race, known as the Orcos, invading and bringing chaos to Skyworld. She tasks Pit once again to acquire the Three Scared Treasures and defeat the Orcos.

25 years later, Medusa is mysteriously resurrected and begins an attack on the surface world. Despite her eventual defeat, it is revealed to everyone who was behind all of the Underworld attacks, which lead to a massive scale war that later involved the Goddess of Nature's forces , an alien race known as the Aurum, and the Chaos Kin.

After the war's end and victory over the Underworld, Viridi and Palutena begin fighting once again over the existence of humans and whether they deserve the right to live. Despite this, they seem to have an alliance.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Ageless; Divine beings lack the mortal components that would allow them to age and have been around for centuries. Gods like Thanatos' job is to guide souls into the afterlife, implying they've existed since the dawn of life itself. Regeneration Immortality; Godly entities, due to their bodies merely being a physical form for them to shape into, can regenerate their heads, lower-body half, and internal organs like the heart. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; The body of a god does not hold any major value to them, with them being able to exist as a spirit, sheer hatred and memory, or even just pure will itself, Regeneration & Resurrection (At least Mid for their physical avatars; Gods can regenerate major organs such as the heart and even their entire head. Mid-Godly overtime in their true forms; Gods lack physical bodies and exist in a metaphysical state, with them being able to regenerate from their spiritual state, their own memories and will, and can potentially resurrect from a complete nonexistent state overtime. Death to gods is but a mere inconvenience which they can resurrect from at a later date. Due to this, gods do not reincarnate through the Underworld), Supernatural Resilience (Godly entities can persist well beyond losing mandatory parts of their body like the head or their heart, and reacting nonchalantly to being cut clean in half), Transformation (Morphing; Gods and angels do not have a defined form and merely take on the appearance of something humanly corporeal), Duplication (Lesser god Uranos appears regularly within dungeons and exists as multiple entities at once), Astral Projection & Size Manipulation (Size Enhancement; The gods are shown to have the ability to project themselves in an astral state several-hundred times larger than human size, in this state, they retain their standard fighting capability and can be reformed if they are "destroyed"), Divine Magic (The gods possess divine magical prowess which is the source of their army's power and the energy source of their technology they have in their arsenals. This divine energy is highly versatile and capable of performing a number of feats), Life Manipulation & Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Souls are a malleable source of energy which gods can use to mold other beings, or alternatively consume and erase for power. Beings like Thanatos are responsible for guiding and carrying the souls to the Underworld and can even rip the souls out of one's body), Consumption (Metaphysical Consumption) & Erasure (Meta-Physical Erasure; Beings like Hades can consume souls and render them nonexistent afterwards and unable to reincarnate or ascend to heaven. Characters such as Hades can also use the souls consumed as a source of power), Attack Nullification & Corruption (The gods can remove the souls from a living being and take control of their mindless body as an empty servant to their armies. with the removed soul, they can seal it within an object or cursed artifact), Mind Manipulation (Gods can directly manipulate the brain, with them being able to corrupt and control other beings with their influence, manipulating the thoughts and memories of fellow gods or restore the memories to mortals who've completely lost a lifetime of information, communicating telepathically and locating others via this telepathy, and even cast potent illusions which can trick the extrasensory perception of the divine), Memory Manipulation (Through their divine powers, the gods can restore the lost memories of individuals, or can manipulate the memories of others and mold them into puppets for their own personal gain), Technological Manipulation & Mind Control (The divine powers of gods allow them to combat foes through mental strength and take control of them, and can even do this through sheer willpower, with this ability working on organic and inorganic beings), Telepathy & Extrasensory Perception (Divine beings have the unique ability to communicate entirely via telepathy. This phenomenon doubles as a sensory ability that allows tracking and locating of others even whilst they're completely detached from the universe), Forcefield Creation, Energy Manipulation, & Sealing (The gods can lock people within specific areas in order to prevent progression or escape, these energy-based barriers can be used offensively or defensively like traditional barriers), Space-Time Manipulation, Dimension Manipulation, & Dimensional Travel (Gods can manipulate space and time with their divine magic, with characters like Viridi creating spatial rifts into alternate universes, Palutena creating traps that warp space and time and warps people across dimensions, The Lightning Chariot tearing through space to enter other dimensions, can sustain alternate universe in their bodies, and even create physical objects that contain one-dimensional universes), Intangibility (Spatial; Through the use of space rifts, characters can travel between alternate dimensions to avoid attacks and reappear with ease), BFR & Dimension Manipulation (Forced Teleportation; By using the ability to warp spacetime, the divine pantheon can send others to alternate universes through their innate ability to teleport. Dimensional; Enemies such as the Sinistew, created directly by Hades, exist in a state of one-dimensional space where they can drag people into said state of being), Personal Domain (The internal structure of a god resides outside of the universe their physical body resides in, with this area being a dimension they have full reign over, though death of the main body seemingly causes their internal universe to be destroyed indirectly), Blessed & Creation (The gods can create blessings for people in the form of boons, divine vehicles, or things like grind rails, which only the divine can see), Power Nullification & Hacking (Passive; The gods have the ability to exert their power over their realms and nullify the magical powers they utilize. This can even prevent the use of abilities by simply being in another god's proximity, or across multiple universes. This ability can even extend over to technological-based operations and structures), Nullification of Acausality (Irregular Causality; Contradictive; The gods and angels can kill the Chaos Kin, which is a being whose existence was created and resides in a world without traditional causality or physics. This bizarre dimension is constantly warping the area regardless of where Pit and Dark Pit go), Nullification of Immortality (Regeneration Immortality; The gods are capable of killing each other in combat without their regenerative abilities reviving them for several decades.

Furthermore, characters such as the Immortal Phoenix having the ability to grant wishes would've rivaled the gods' mighty power).

Lifeforce Absorption (Enemies like the Monoeyes cannot absorb the lifeforce of gods and angels due to them being "too divine" for them to touch. Palm weapons also do not drain Pit and Dark Pit's lifeforce upon use despite using that as the ammo for the weapon), Power Nullification (The gods are constantly at odds in power and thus can completely override another god's interference), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Gods like Palutena resisted having her soul consumed by the Chaos Kin for over three years), Mind Manipulation (Through sheer mental might, gods can combat others in the battle of minds and control them through taking over their consciousness.

Gods like Pandora have shown the ability to regenerate from more than just her soul or consciousness), Sheer Will & Possession (Scales to Pit who can possess beings through willpower.

Resistance to Status Effect Inducement, Poison Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Electricity Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Petrification, Mind Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Statistics Reduction, and Limited Velocity Manipulation (The Aries Armor power boosts Palutena's durability a small amount and makes her completely immune to Status Effects.

Palutena survived and resisted three years of having her soul eaten away), Mind Manipulation (Foe's such as Cacaws attack with a piercing noise that damages the brain, which does minor damage to Palutena.

Notable Techniques

Icon	Name	Description
	First Blade	Entrusted to Pit, this blade is just one of a new breed of armaments that combine close-quarters combat with ranged proficiency. The First Blade is well balanced in usability and strength, making it the perfect beginner's weapon.
	Burst Blade	While the Burst Blade has lower attack power and has the shortest range of any blade, it also fires multiple bullets at once, giving it a wide attack. Its ranged attacks have a strong potential of nullifying incoming fire.
	Viper Blade	A blade said to have been forged from the scales of a thousand venomous serpents. It's one of the few weapons that inflicts poison damage. Users of this blade should soothe its dark, nightly rattlings with gentle caresses.
	Crusader Blade	The horizontal stock crossing the barrel is packed with a substance that generates this weapon's wide-ranged shots. These shots have the strong potential for nullifying enemy fire, and the weapon's weight makes its melee attacks powerful.
	Royal Blade	Once the heirloom of a royal house, this blade has since been worn by time and neglect. Its most powerful shots are those used during a backward dash, making the Royal Blade perfect for a hit-and-run strategy.
	Optical Blade	Despite its lightness, the extreme heat this glow-in-the-dark blade generates has the ability to cut even through steel. It also has the longest range of any blade and has charged shots that grow in power slightly at long distances.
	Samurai Blade	The Samurai Blade is a powerful copy of a legendary sword whose curved blade was devastating in close combat. While this blade improves quickness, it has weaker ranged shots and takes time to charge.
	Bullet Blade	This old-school weapon uses magic to fire a hail of explosive steel bullets. The Bullet Blade doesn't have much in the way of homing ability or melee attacks, but its shots are just as strong over long distances as up close.
	Aquarius Blade	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Aquarius. It uses extreme pressure to change water into an impossibly sharp edge. Its charged shot pushes enemies back as it damages them, and its melee attack can freeze foes.
	Palutena Blade	The rare example of a weapon ordered by Palutena. While its charged shots have a strong potential of nullifying enemy fire and its continuous-fire dash shots travel fast, they aren't very strong. However, its dash shots have great range.
	Gaol Blade	A blade forged from the same cursed material as Dark Lord Gaol's armor. While it has the most powerful ranged attacks of any blade and its charged shot has a strong homing ability, these attacks move slowly.

Icon	Name	Description
	Insight Staff	Staffs have long attack ranges with shots that generally get stronger the farther they travel. They're weak in melee combat, however. The Insight Staff is a well-balanced choice for learning this type of weapon.
	Orb Staff	The Orb Staff's jewel raises its melee power. Its shot strength doesn't vary much, making it effective at any range. And while these shots lack in damage, distance, and knock-back ability, their large size makes hitting foes a breeze.
	Rose STaff	The Rose Staff is the product of a desire to combine beauty and lethality. The brambles it fires have exceptional attack power but travel slowly. On the plus side, this weapon charges fast, compared to other staffs.
	Knuckle Staff	The brutish Knuckle Staff sets itself apart from other staffs by excelling at melee attacks. While its shots still pack a punch, they lack range, lose power as they travel, and charge slowly—so make sure to aim carefully!
	Ancient Staff	The Ancient Staff is a cold and mysterious weapon made by a dead civilization. Its charged shots hang in midair and can paralyze any enemies they strike. This makes the weapon a great fit for defensive play.
	Lancer Staff	A staff modeled after an infamous spear said to have slain thousands. It charges quickly, and its shots, although slow moving, are most damaging at close range. Its melee attack is also better than most staffs.
	Flintlock Staff	This weapon excels at taking out foes from afar. Its shots increase in power as they fly at blinding speeds, making it a solid weapon for users with good aim. However, its melee attack is among the weakest of any weapon.
	Somewhat Staff	Not only is this weapon closer in form and function to a blade than a staff, but it's actually a living creature! Despite its mysterious nature, the Somewhat Staff still retains its weapon type's movement restrictions.
	Scorpio Staff	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Scorpio. Its high-speed shots often inject poison that does damage over time, with a duration and probability based on attack type. While it has a short firing range, it boosts its user's speed.
	Laser Staff	The firing range of the Laser Staff is among the longest of any weapon. While it's slow to charge, enemies don't react to the staff's continuous fire, allowing users to silently roast foes from a massively long distance!
	Dark Pit Staff	Staff used by Dark Pit when he hides in Chapter 6. The staff's charged shot does four times the damage at its longest range as it does up close. Continuous fire is also powerful but lacks size and range.
	Thanatos Staff	Modeled after Thanatos, this staff features a magic scarf wrapped around a piece of bone. Its continuous fire produces a stream of bats, and its backward-dash charged shot conjures a giant skull that hovers in the air.

Icon	Name	Description
	Tiger Claws	Claws are melee-specialized weapons that fire talons. They improve speed more than any other weapon, useful since they tend to have a short attack range. With a balanced set of qualities, the Tiger Claws' usefulness in battle speaks for itself.
	Wolf Claws	These wolf-themed claws set foes they strike on fire, dealing additional damage. Unfortunately, this flame ability limits the weapons' range. Their charged dash shot has a homing ability, something rare among claws.
	Bear Claws	These claws are like a bear's, with melee attacks among the most devastating of any weapon. Their ranged shots are strong but have a short reach. If you can get up close, your foes won't know what hit them.
	Brawler Claws	Not only do these claws grant faster movement than any other weapon, they make you look like the king of the ring! While their other attributes aren't as cool as their speed boost, you can't deny the coolness of two-fist punching action.
	Stealth Claws	Forged in darkness and wrapped in the bandages of mummies, these claws are nearly invisible, so the targets of its fast fire may find it hard to find out exactly who is shooting. The claws do have a lower melee power, however.
	Hedgehog Claws	Inspired by hedgehogs, these claws charge quickly and provide a large speed boost to users. While they lack homing ability and have a low attack power, their rapid fire shoots a ceaseless barrage of projectiles.
	Raptor Claws	Claws that let wielders go all 65 million BC on enemies. They feature strong melee and ranged attacks, although they have a slow charge time. Wounds received from these claws are so brutal, they often refuse to heal.
	Artillary Claws	These macho-looking claws aren't well suited to melee and have almost no homing ability. But where they shine is their shots that have a range comparable to blades, lose no power over distance, and move super fast.
	Cancer Claws	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Cancer. Their melee attack packs a mighty wallop, and their charged shots can temporarily hover near enemies. They also give users a speed boost during continuous-fire attacks.
	Beam Claws	The Beam Claws feature an extremely long attack range, comparable to that of bows. Their shots travel fast and don't lessen in strength over distance. However, they possess a weak homing ability and have a lower attack power.
	Viridi Claws	Claws that are as beautiful and deadly as Viridi herself. Their shots feature a strong homing ability and can maintain continuous fire for long periods. Charged shots fired by the Viridi Claws paralyze foes one-third of the time.
	Pandora Claws	These claws are based on the spirit form of Pandora. Their backward-dash charged shot creates a barrier that offers good defense in Together mode. Their third melee strike can knock enemies into the air. Try using a backward-dash attack as foes fall.

Icon	Name	Description
	Fortune Bow	Bows fire fast homing shots, making them well suited to medium- and long-range attacks. Their shots are small, slightly increasing in damage over long ranges. The Fortune Bow was designed to be a well-balanced version of this weapon.
	Silver Bow	Prototype of a bow designed by Palutena, it's the only weapon of its type whose shot power is higher at close range. Also features a relatively high firing range and homing ability, making it a solid choice for skilled users.
	Meteor Bow	The shots fired by this weapon have the longest range of any bow. While its charged shots are large and travel fast, they don't have much homing ability or power. Compensate for this with its heavy homing continuous fire.
	Divine Bow	A bow made from the wood of a sacred tree. Its fearsome energy is kept in check by the bow's many seals. Its charged shots have a strong potential of nullifying enemy fire. It also charges quickly and has a high homing ability
	Darkness Bow	The Darkness Bow is shrouded in mystery. Its ranged attacks are powerful, and it even excels as a melee weapon. However, it comes up short in terms of homing ability and charge time.
	Crystal Bow	A bow carved from crystal taken from a forest near the home of the gods. It has high overall attack power, and fires fairly large projectiles. However, it has a short firing range, giving it a narrow sweet spot for attacks.
	Angel Bow	Based on the god of love, the Angel Bow fires shots that relentlessly pursue their targets. However, they travel slowly and are not particularly powerful. Multiplayer opponents can easily dodge its shots when attacked head-on.
	Hawkeye Bow	Why get close to foes when you can snipe from afar? This bow's high-speed shots have a long range and have the strong potential to nullify incoming fire. However, its melee damage is weak, and it takes quite some time to charge.
	Saggitarius Bow	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Sagittarius. Its shots can pierce through multiple opponents, making it a great choice when outnumbered. Though it takes a long time to charge, it makes up for it in high damage and shot speed.
	Aurum Bow	A bow created using Aurum technology. Rare among bows, its continuous-fire dash attack unleashes a barrage of multiple shots. Though it has good range and great homing ability, its low attack power makes it better at a distance.
	Palutena Bow	Painstakingly crafted by Palutena herself, this bow's shots gain speed the farther they travel. Though its standing shots are weak, its dash shots are mighty. So keep moving, and don't leave yourself open to counterattacks!
	Phosphoran Bow	A bow crafted from Phosphora's scarf. Its charged shots tend to hit enemies, even when fired aimlessly. Although it lacks in power, its shots have the ability to paralyze foes. As a bonus, those who use it are graced with lightning-quick speed.

Icon	Name	Description
	Violet Palm	Palms are equipped on the wielder's arm like a tattoo, drawing upon the user's own vitality to fire a barrage of homing shots. The Violet Palm is an average example of this weapon type, with great rapid fire but basic range.
	Burning Palm	Shots fired from the Burning Palm set enemies on fire, dealing extra damage. It has the strongest melee attack of any palm, although it features a long charge time and short firing range. And after the battle, it makes a mean BBQ.
	Needle Palm	This palm fires needles that burrow into targets. They travel fast but have little homing ability. There isn't much difference in range between charged shots and continuous fire, so no need to think too hard about gauging your distance.
	Midnight Palm	The Midnight Palm is geared toward defense, with ranged attacks that have a strong potential of nullifying incoming fire. It has powerful but slow shots. Its backward-dash charged shot crushes foes with a gigantic moon.
	Cursed Palm	A nefarious palm imbued with foul magic. It fires powerful cursed shots that travel slowly and lose strength over time, yet still relentlessly pursue their targets. And the Cursed Palm's melee attack is devastating in its own right.
	Cutter Palm	The Cutter Palm fires light rings that slice through foes. While powerful, it takes long to charge and its continuous fire lacks good homing. Despite these flaws, you can't go wrong with its homing backward-dash charged shot.
	Pudgy Palm	This palm weapon shoots fancy, balloon-like shots. It has a short charge time and a strong overall homing ability. Its backward-dash charged shot can overwhelm almost any shot and is handy against enemy attacks in Together mode
	Ninja Palm	A weapon with the soul of a dark assassin. It has a short charge time, fires fast-moving shots, and boosts speed and agility. It even excels at melee attacks! On the other hand, it lacks in power, range, and homing.
	Virgo Palm	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Virgo. Features the longest firing range of any palm, and its shots grow in size as they travel. While lacking in power and homing ability, its backward-dash charged shot creates a useful defensive wall.
	Aurum Palm	Produced with Aurum technology, the Aurum Palm has almost no homing ability, making careful aim a must. Its high energy output means it charges fast, allowing users to fire off charged shots at a rate of one per second.
	Viridi Palm	Created by and requiring total devotion to Viridi, this palm excels at landing consecutive hits, with the damage it deals depending on where it strikes the target. Shooting from a distance will help improve its accuracy.
	Great Reaper Palm	The Great Reaper Palm uses the power of the Great Reaper to summon Reapettes that hound targets. It takes a while to charge, but unique among weapons, its attacks have the power to halve the foe's maximum health.

	Ore Club	Clubs are unique weapons ideal for dealing huge amounts of damage. Their gigantic long-range charged shots can even pass through walls! The Ore Club is fashioned from minerals that were mined on the mountain of the gods.
	Babel Club	Designed to look like the tower that incurred the wrath of the heavens, this club has the longest charge time of any weapon. Its charged shots kick up a violent storm that delivers consecutive strikes, so try to make sure all of them hit.
	Skyscraper Club	A club with a rather modern look. Its charged shots deal massive damage up close and decrease in power the farther they travel. The Skyscraper Club decreases the user's speed more than most clubs.
	Atlas Club	Unlike most clubs, the Atlas Club allows users to run quickly while using it. Its shots don't pass through obstacles, but its dash attacks travel fast with a high homing ability. A club that handles more like other weapon types.
	Earthmaul Club	The Earthmaul Club has a longer reach than any other weapon, its charged shot traveling up to 126 m. This is roughly three times the range of the First Blade. Its backward-dash charged shot reflects off walls
	Ogre Club	The club used by Dark Pit in his battle with Pit beneath the temple in Chapter 6. Though its charged shots are slow and easily dodged, this superbrutal club has the most powerful melee attack of any weapon.
	Halo Club	This lightweight club shoots halos for its ammunition. Unlike other clubs, the Halo Club's charged shots can paralyze opponents. However, it has a low attack power and is particularly ill suited for melee attacks.
	Black Club	While the mysterious Black Club's attack power and homing ability are high, its charge time and shot speed are slow. And not only do its charged shots cancel out enemy fire, they look really cool doing it too!
	Capricorn Club	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Capricorn. Its spiraling charged shots lack range, do less damage as they travel, and don't cancel out other shots. However, these shots do move fast and have a superfast charge time.
	Aurum Club	This club has charged shots that have limited range and lack homing but are large, making it harder for targets to avoid them. It can also shoot through obstacles, and its shots have a strong potential for nullifying incoming fire.
	Hewdraw Club	This club fires blade blasts and flame breath like the beast himself. Its charged shots have an extremely long range and high homing ability but are somewhat lacking in damage. Its melee attack also packs a mighty punch!
	Magnus Club	Designed to look like Magnus's sword, this club is at the top of its class in melee power and even boosts the speed of its user! Its shots barely have any range, making it the rare weapon exclusively suited to close combat.

	EZ Cannon	Cannons fire powerful shots one at a time. Bristling with energy, their volatile volleys explode on impact. The EZ Cannon is a standard version of this armament. While balanced in most respects, its bouncing shots do have a strong homing ability.
	Ball Cannon	Inspired by the weapons seen on pirate ships, the Ball Cannon shoots iron balls with devastating power. Its continuous fire creates a hail of smaller spheres sure to turn any scurvy dog into swiss cheese.
	Predator Cannon	This cannon raises movement speed and has the strongest melee attack of its weapon type. Upon exploding, its shots deal repeated damage, and its backward-dash charged shot fires an arcing shell that descends on the foe.
	Poseidon cannon	Imbued with just a fraction of the sea god's strength, the Poseidon Cannon fires rippling, water-like shots that entangle enemies and smash them with the force of a flood. Its rapid fire blasts enemies with a veritable divine water cannon.
	Fireworks Cannon	A cannon inspired by the tubes used to launch fireworks. It features a strong homing ability, fast charge, wide explosions, and the ability to knock enemies into the air. On the downside, its attacks lack in power and range.
	Rail Cannon	The Rail Cannon fires small rounds at high speeds with the greatest range of any cannon, and it has continuous fire that unleashes projectiles in very tight clusters. It's a solid choice for those accurate enough to pick off enemies from afar.
	Dynamo Cannon	The Dynamo Cannon fires charged shots that detonate at the end of their range or upon impact, causing damage in a small radius. Many of the cannon's attacks also paralyze foes.
	Doom Cannon	A cannon that brings ruin to its victims. The shots are slow to charge, and slow-moving as well, but after impact, they deal ongoing damage in an expanding, devastating area!
	Leo Cannon	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Leo. Shoots incendiary bombs that can send enemies flying, then explode behind them for extra damage. This attack can be difficult to land, making the Leo Cannon tricky to use.
	Sonic Cannon	The bursts from this weapon cut foes to shreds. Its continuous fire covers a vast area, eventually zeroing in on targets with its homing ability. Its long range and expanding charged shots make it great for distance fighting.
	Twinbellows Cannon	Inspired by the most dreaded mutt in the Underworld. Fires a flame stream that roasts nearby foes. Its backward-dash charged shot creates explosions that detonate near the area they're fired, making them great for close combat.
	Cragalanche Cannon	A cannon made from pieces of Cragalanche. The rocks it fires have massive destructive power. But, being rocks, they lack speed and their explosions are relatively small.

	Standard Orbitars	Orbitars are pairs of weapons that fire shots as they hover above their wielder's shoulders, allowing for wholly unimpeded movement. And what the small Standard Orbitars lack in punch they make up for in all-around quality.
	Guardian Orbitars	These orbitars specialize in defense, for their charged shot raises a shield that has a strong potential of nullifying incoming fire. After throwing up this shield, users should switch to continuous fire as their main method of attack.
	Shock Orbitars	These orbitars gather their energy from the flaps of Pit's wings, releasing electric projectiles that disperse on impact. Their speed and range are nothing spectacular, but their charged shots have a high homing ability.
	Eyetrack Orbitars	These orbitars were once sealed inside a cursed royal tomb. Their homing ability is among the best of any weapon, making them very easy to use. However, they lack in terms of attack power and charge time.
	Fairy Orbitars	Tired of pixies asking you to listen? Try these spritely orbitars on for size! They charge quickly, allowing for consecutive charged shots. Their greatest feature is the ability to confuse enemies.
	Paw Pad Orbitar	The Paw Pad Orbitars are too cute, aren't they? They have a short charge time, and shots bounce about like an excited kitten. Shield yourself with the backward-dash charged shot, or circle around enemies using continuous fire.
	Jetstream Orbitars	Charged shots fired from these orbitars may lack any sort of homing, but when they do hit—watch out! They're strong, though generally lose strength the farther they travel. Try knocking foes into the air with charged shots!
	Boom Orbitars	These burly-looking orbitars fire small bullets that really pack a wallop! Top among orbitars in melee and ranged attack power, they lack any sort of homing ability and slow the user down considerably during continuous fire.
	Gemini Orbitars	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Gemini. The standard charged shots they fire travel straight, then break suddenly toward their target. This makes the wielder of such orbitars extremely hard to predict in Together mode.
	Aurum Orbitars	These orbitars were built by literally combining members of the Aurum forces. Their continuous fire unleashes a narrow beam that is limited in range but travels so fast that targets have little time to dodge.
	Centurion Orbitars	Modeled after Palutena's rank-and-file soldiers, these orbitars fire shots that arc like arrows in flight and are powerful at close range. Their backward-dash charged shots fire centurion-knight shields, and their continuous fire has a long range.
	Arlon Orbitars	Inspired by Arlon the Serene. But unlike Arlon, this weapon is far from invisible in combat, featuring the longest range of any of the orbitars. Its continuous fire unleashes a stream of the chakrams used by Arlon.

	Crusher Arm	Arms have the smallest reach of any weapon type, putting wielders at a disadvantage in long-range combat. Yet they also have incredible dash and melee attacks. The Crusher Arm is the standard model of this type of weapon.
	Compact Arm	An arm designed to be both small and light, it gives the highest movement speed of any arm, though this comes at the cost of lower melee power. Handling more like other weapons, the Compact Arm is great at midrange.
	Electroshock Arm	An arm that fires bursts of electricity. Its charged shots expand as they travel, dealing a quick round of damage and inflicting paralysis. And its melee strikes send the foe flying backward, so get in there quick with your combos!
	Volcano Arm	The Volcano Arm uses geothermal energy for ranged and melee attacks that can set foes ablaze. Though limited in distance and long on charge time, it's a good pick for close-quarters combat.
	Drill Arm	Designed to look like an excavation tool, the Drill Arm plows through enemies with its charged shot, which does ongoing damage. The powerful attack has great homing ability.
	Bomber Arm	The rapid burning fists this weapon fires swerve sharply toward the foe. Though its continuous fire is weak, its charged shots are not, and it charges more quickly than any other arm. However, its range is among the shortest of any weapon.
	Bowl Arm	This weapon was designed to look like a decorative bowl and curiously fires off bowls and toys. While it seems like the Bowl Arm would be a fragile sort of weapon, it actually has potent charged shots.
	End-All Arm	The End-All Arm is the be-all arm for malicious decimation. Though it takes a long time to charge, its continuous fire is deadly, particularly when fired during a side dash. However, it does slow the user's movement somewhat.
	Taurus Arm	The Zodiac weapon bearing the sign of Taurus. The two horns deal the most melee damage of any arm. While its ranged attacks are big and powerful, they have weak homing ability and limited range.
	Upperdash Arm	The Upperdash Arm is outfitted with a disc-shaped device that fires ring shots. Its backward-dash charged shot can lift foes into the air. While its regular melee attacks are weak, its melee dash attack deals massive damage.
	Kraken Arm	Fashioned after the Galactic Sea's greatest monster, this weapon fires slow shots that feature large, hooking homing trajectories. It also features a strong melee attack and midrange performance.
	Phoenix Arm	Modeled after the Phoenix, this arm features a unique continuous fire that travels twice as far as its charged shots. The charged shots set foes ablaze, while its continuous-fire attack launches blade feathers.

Other

Weaknesses: Despite being an intelligent being with centuries of experience, she's oftentimes not taking her situation very seriously and acts very light-hearted in character. Rarely does Palutena directly fight herself and uses a lot of defensive measures before facing her foe head on.

Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co's abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshed it out.

Note 2: Saving and loading in Kid Icarus can be active once characters get a game over, or wish to return to prior points in the timeline. Saving has been mentioned by several major characters. If the game ends for the current playable character, they can simply come back. A "game over" doesn't only stop at a death. A game over can also be the characters making the wrong choices, getting trapped in a separate universe, possessed, and incapacitation (such as falling forever in an endless void or left completely helpless). This ability can be used passively and across multiple incarnations of the characters. Do also note that a player canonically exists, so saving and loading is not a stretch.
