He may have a point. We have the Underworld Army out to hoard souls. We have the Forces of Nature trying to wipe out humanity. We have the humans continuing to exploit nature and each other. And we have us - Gods - who drag the entire world into our power struggles. But it doesn't matter how this started. Now we know who's profiting from it...

~ Palutena in the prologue of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters

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.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Palutena's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Kid Icarus
Prior to the events of the original Kid Icarus, the Goddess of Light and Goddess of Darkness ruled the two surface realms together. However, the Goddess of Darkness, Medusa, overstepped her boundaries and began to meddle in the affairs' of man in a cruel manner. The Goddess of Light Palutena banished the cruel Medusa and turned her into a horrible, cycloptic monster that of which reflected her heart.

Enraged by this terrible fate, Medusa rallied the Underworld Army to her aid and planned a full-scale attack on Skyworld and its residents, which ultimately lead to a war between the two Goddesses that lead to the defeat of the kind Goddess of Light, along with the capture of all angels in Palutena's forces.

Petrified and weakened, Palutena uses the last of her energy to reach out to an imprisoned but conscious Pit and entrusted him with a sacred bow, which the angel uses to break out of his chambers in the Underworld. Pit takes this bow with him on his journey back to the Palace in the Sky, gathering the Three Sacred Treasures along the way and using them to defeat Medusa and rescuing Palutena, thereby restoring balance to the world.

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Some time after the events of the first game, Palutena experiences a nightmare that, by the words of a soothsayer, foretells the destruction of Angel Land by an unknown evil demon from another world. Palutena, with this terrible fate in mind, summons Pit, leader of the Icarus Army and her royal bodyguard, to her aid and entrusts the mission to begin training so that he may wield the Three Sacred Treasures and defend their realm once again.

In an effort to prove his worthiness to the Three Sacred Treasures themselves, Palutena sealed away each of the pieces in the Under world Tower, the surface world, and the Sky World Tower where they would be guarded by the masters of each realm for Pit to challenge and defeat.

After Pit's success in retrieving the Three Sacred Treasures and earning their magical powers, Palutena bestows the boons on Pit, but is attacked and petrified by the prophesied otherworldly demon Orcos. Orcos challenges Pit to a duel for the Goddesses' life and the fate of Angel land itself, which Pit ultimately claims victory over.

After his victorious return to Angel Land, Palutena was returned to normal and the safety of Angel Land from the clutches of Orcos was ensured at last.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Medusa's Attack
Twenty-five years after Pit restored peace to Skyworld in Kid Icarus, Medusa has resurrected and resumes her quest for revenge against Palutena and the human realm. Medusa begins by sending her troops to attack That First Town, prompting Palutena to send Pit in to help the humans. When he flies overhead, the local residents cheer for the return of the Goddess of Light. Pit then lands inside the town, where he takes on and defeats the Underworld's watchdog, Twinbellows.

The humans soon discover that the Underworld forces are originating from a dreary castle, causing them to send in their own troops to retaliate. Palutena foresees disaster and sends Pit down to the surface to help, where he stumbles across Magnus, a human warrior who is fighting off Underworld troops by himself. Pit and Magnus introduce themselves to each other, and after realizing they have similar goals, decide to work together to defeat the dark lord. The two travel through the castle and arrive at the throne room, where they fight and defeat Dark Lord Gaol. Afterwards, Gaol's armor falls apart, revealing her to be a human. This upsets Pit, but Palutena assures him that she is still alive before teleporting him away.

In retaliation for Gaol's defeat, Medusa sends her troops to attack Skyworld directly. Palutena hastily sends Pit out to defend their home. However, the amount of Underworld troops is overwhelming, forcing Pit to head straight for their commander, Hewdraw. Pit engages in a brief Air Battle with the beast, severing its heads one by one. Unfortunately, Palutena informs him that Hewdraw heads can live without their body, leading Pit to head to That Burning Town in pursuit. With the local residents going into hiding, Pit is given free rein as he traverses the town and takes down Underworld troops along the way. Palutena tells him to head to a nearby courtyard, promising to grant him a present in return—however, once Pit arrives, he finds that the gift is being doused with monster pheromones in order to lure in one of the Hewdraw heads. The angel promptly defeats it and moves on, finding that the remaining head has already formed a new body at a nearby lake. He confronts it and finally defeats Hewdraw for good, and Palutena teleports him away shortly after.

In search of one of Medusa's commanders, Palutena sends Pit to the Reaper Fortress in order to identify the force that is hiding the Labyrinth of Deceit. However, Pit has difficulty getting through when he discovers that hordes of Reapers guard the fortress. To work around it, Palutena guides Pit into a nearby ravine, and while it is packed with many Underworld troops, he manages to safely infiltrate the fortress. After traveling through the structure, Pit finally encounters a room with a single Reaper, which notices him and transforms into the Great Reaper. Pit engages it in battle, and Palutena figures out that the Great Reaper is the force that was hiding the labyrinth's location. Upon the Great Reaper's defeat, Pit tells Palutena that he's enjoyed their time together thus far, to which Palutena teases him about his lack of friends before teleporting him away.

Having found the location of one of Medusa's commanders, Palutena sends Pit into a space pocket in order to reach the Labyrinth of Deceit. On the way, the flight path is twisted and distorted, making navigation tedious. With time, Pit and Palutena successfully infiltrate the labyrinth and meet the goddess of calamity, Pandora. After traveling through the confusing maze while discussing how the Mirror of Truth can duplicate troops in the Underworld Army, they finally reach Pandora's room. Pit confronts her with an elaborate sequence in which he poses and declares that he will defeat her, and the two engage in battle shortly after. However, the battle ends prematurely when Pandora decides to give up the Mirror of Truth, to which Pit promptly destroys it. In doing so, the Mirror of Truth duplicates Pit, which brings about the creation of Dark Pit. As Pandora introduces the clone, Dark Pit turns against her and fights her alongside Pit. After her defeat, Dark Pit kicks Pit in the stomach in retaliation for "ripping off his look," then uses what remains of Pandora's powers to grant himself limitless flight. Dark Pit flies off, prompting Palutena to extract Pit in order to pursue him.

Pit heads out and immediately engages in a small battle with Dark Pit the moment he enters the sky. The two stop and Dark Pit begins flying away, causing Pit to follow him. Pit questions whether he's with the Underworld Army, but Dark Pit insists that he only opposes Pit for "copying his act." They argue about this while flying and against one another until Medusa appears, attempting to recruit Dark Pit. The angel rudely declines, giving Pit hope that he won't have to continue fighting him. However, due to Dark Pit's destructive nature, Palutena concludes that he is still the enemy, forcing Pit to continue with his pursuit. Now trailing behind Dark Pit, Pit flies down to the Temple Ruins to chase his clone on land. Here, Pit follows Underworld troops to lead him in the direction of Dark Pit, engaging him in battle twice before finally chasing him to the top, where they fight and argue once again. Upon his defeat, Dark Pit claims to have gone easy on Pit before flying off. Pit attempts to go after him, but Palutena states that they should refocus their efforts on Medusa before teleporting him away.

Deciding to forget about Dark Pit for the time being, Palutena sends Pit out to a desert to track down Thanatos, one of Medusa's commanders who possesses the Underworld Key. They arrive at a nearby ocean, which Palutena supposedly splits in two, much to Pit's amazement. He then heads through the split and meets Poseidon, who reprimands Palutena for taking responsibility for the parting of his ocean. After discussing various aspects of the Underworld Army and humanity, Pit arrives at the Seafloor Palace. He makes his way through the structure and arrives at Thanatos's room, where they engage in battle. After his defeat, Thanatos disappears and leaves behind the Underworld Key, leaving Pit to grab it before being extracted from the palace.

Pit heads out expecting to challenge Medusa, but Palutena informs him that a gang of space pirates have stolen the Three Sacred Treasures. As such, she sends him into the Galactic Sea, where he locates and infiltrates the Space Pirate Ship. He searches throughout the interior with no luck, only to find the Space Pirate Captain in possession of the Three Sacred Treasures Case on the ship's deck. Before Pit can take action, a giant space kraken suddenly emerges and eats the captain, then notices Pit and engages him in battle. After its defeat, Pit obtains the case containing the treasures and is teleported away by Palutena.

Now equipped with the Three Sacred Treasures, Pit flies through stormy skies and into a ravine, where he uses the Underworld Key to travel through a portal to the Underworld. Once there, Pit spots Dark Pit, who flies off to fight Underworld troops while Pit engages in a battle with the Underworld Gatekeeper. As Pit struggles to defeat it, Dark Pit swoops in and deals the finishing blow, then orders him to proceed before reinforcements arrive. Pit heeds his advice and flies into the Underworld Castle, where he fights fake versions of Twinbellows, Hewdraw, and Pandora created by Medusa in order to stop him. He eventually moves onto the goddess of darkness herself, to which he gives a speech about her defeat before engaging her in battle. After a long and tedious fight, Pit emerges victorious and celebrates his victory with Palutena while credits begin rolling. However, a mysterious voice interrupts and rips through the screen, revealing himself to be Hades, the true ruler of the Underworld and responsible for Medusa's resurrection. As Pit and Palutena reel from this revelation, he informs them that he was responsible for the resurrection of Medusa, proclaiming himself to be even more powerful than she was before bidding them farewell.

Hades' Reveal
With an even more powerful enemy to focus on, Palutena sends Pit out toward a volcano where Underworld troops have gathered. The goddess informs him that an object known as the Wish Seed is located there and is likely the reason for the Underworld's appearance. Pit considers using the Wish Seed in order to grant himself the ability to fly, though Palutena quickly brushes this aside and flies him down to Phoenix Mountain, where they discuss defeating the Wish Seed's guardian, the Phoenix. Along the way, Palutena discovers that the Wish Seed is fake, and the story was used by Hades to cause destruction. However, she tells Pit to proceed with the mission and defeat the Phoenix regardless, as the Phoenix would be a threat to humanity if the Underworld Army sets it free. With that in mind, Pit swiftly defeats the Phoenix, though its defeat leaves a large beacon in its wake, alerting the humans of its absence and leading them to believe the Wish Seed has been taken. Foreseeing major bloodshed, Palutena promptly teleports Pit out of the mountain.

Viridi's Introduction
As Pit flies through the gates of the temple, Palutena informs him that the humans have fallen for Hades's hoax and have waged war amongst each other because of it. Pit begins fighting off Underworld troops that gathered nearby to collect souls, but he is quickly interrupted when a bright light shines in the distance and Palutena suddenly pulls him out of the area. A large object crashes into the earth and explodes, followed by an unfamiliar voice, which quickly reveals itself to be Viridi, the Goddess of Nature. As she explains her goals to wipe out humanity and the functionality of her Reset Bombs, Pit and Palutena begin to argue with her. Realizing they won't be able to see eye to eye, Palutena sends Pit inside the newly formed Reset Bomb Forest, where he fights off Forces of Nature troops and frees humans from the brambles within. After traveling through the forest, Pit faces and defeats one of Viridi's commanders, Cragalanche. The goddess of nature then warns Pit of another Reset Bomb before disappearing, and Palutena transports him back to figure out a plan.

While Viridi and Hades become distracted in their own feud, Palutena sends Pit through the skies to destroy another Reset Bomb. Once that task is complete, she sends him into the Reset Bomb Depot in order to stop all of the destruction at its source. While the deities all argue amongst themselves, Pit heads into the center of the depot, where he effectively destroys the structure's core before making his escape.

Afterwards, Palutena informs Pit of their next target: Arlon, another one of Viridi's commanders. In order to reach him, Pit infiltrates the Lunar Sanctum, a base in the sky disguised as the moon. Once inside, Pit takes on various Forces of Nature foes—including fake holograms—before running into Dark Pit. Having been persuaded by Arlon to defend the fortress, the dark angel engages him in battle, though Pit comes out victorious. Pit then confronts and defeats Arlon, causing the Lunar Sanctum to collapse and an unknown creature to escape while Palutena teleports him away.

With the Forces of Nature and Underworld still at war with each other, Palutena takes advantage of their battle to send Pit in to defeat Viridi's weakened commander, Phosphora. He arrives at the Thunder Cloud Temple, where he is instructed to cut off various power supplies throughout the area. Once he reaches the center, he defeats Phosphora in battle, and Palutena teleports him away as the temple collapses.

The Aurum Invasion
Early in the morning, Palutena urges Pit out into the sky with the appearance of a new threat—a mysterious, alien-like race known as the Aurum. Hades and Viridi put their war on hold as they observe these new lifeforms, and all the gods decide to temporarily call a truce in order to retaliate. Another new figure, Pyrrhon, arrives on the scene to fill them in on the details of their foes, then decides to work together with Pit to fend them off. Pit is sent down to one of the Aurum Islands afterward, where he locates and destroys the Aurum Core.

For their next mission, Pit is tasked with infiltrating the Aurum Hive in order to weaken the Aurum further. However, they soon find that there is no entrance, forcing Hades to crash an Aurum Battleship into the structure to give Pit a makeshift path through. Once inside, Pit fights his way to the Aurum Generator—however, Pyrrhon attempts to assist Pit by shooting it with his power, which only makes it more powerful. Despite this setback, Pit manages to defeat the generator and is escorted away.

Raring to defeat the Aurum once and for all, Pit and the gods set out to destroy the Aurum Brain. Everything goes exactly as planned, but when Pit encounters the brain itself, Pyrrhon suddenly interrupts by flying into the object's center. Having merged with the brain, the sun god declares his authority over the Aurum, commanding them to attack the angel—and to make matters worse, Pyrrhon blocks Palutena's divine powers to extract him. Forced to cut off the Power of Flight prematurely, Pit plummets through the sky, only to land on a platform sent in by Viridi. He proceeds with the help of the Forces of Nature, though it isn't long before her troops are killed off. Palutena sends in her own troops to help Pit, allowing him to progress into the Aurum Brain Fortress. There he finds that Pyrrhon is behaving strangely, revealing that the Aurum Brain has overtaken the sun god. Pit is forced to defeat his possessed comrade, who then uses his power to launch himself and his army back into space.

The Fall of Palutena
In the wake of the Aurum invasion, Pit suddenly finds himself awakening from a long slumber, confused regarding his whereabouts. Noticing a ring in his field of vision, he attempts to communicate with Palutena, only for a young girl to suddenly grab the ring. Realizing that he currently resides within the ring, the girl places the ring on her finger which gives Pit control of her movements. He uses the opportunity to investigate a nearby war-torn town, but he trips and drops the ring. The ring is then picked up in the mouth of a dog, which he uses to travel the rest of the way. As he explores, he finds Magnus fighting off centurions, much to his confusion. The man begins walking away, prompting Pit to hop onto his back and shove the ring into his face. Although hesitant, Magnus takes it and grants Pit control over his body, communicating with the angel soon after. Through this, Pit finds out that he's been absent for three years, though his body has been attacking the humans he swore to protect ever since. The two defeat Pit's Body, granting Pit control over himself once again. He calls out to Palutena, though Viridi unexpectedly grants him the Power of Flight instead. As he soars through the sky, she shows him the ruins of Skyworld, and a projection of Palutena appears to declare her new disdain for both him and the humans. Unable to confront her directly thanks to a massive force field surrounding the area, Viridi teleports him back to one of her residences.

She then sends Pit out on a mission to secure a vehicle known as the Lightning Chariot, which she plans to use to destroy the force field surrounding Palutena's Temple. With the use of an Angel Cannon, Pit is launched into space, where he locates and gives chase to the aforementioned chariot. Following it down to the Lightning Chariot Base, a being known as the Chariot Master begins communicating with the group, allowing Pit the chance to ask him for temporary use of the Lightning Chariot—however, he is reluctant to agree, forcing the angel to seek him out at the top of the tower. After traversing through several rooms with hordes of enemies, Pit finally arrives at a large racetrack, where he encounters the unicorn Phos with a small chariot attached. Though he thinks this is a present, the Chariot Master quickly reveals that he intends to fight him for the chariot instead. Once defeated, the Chariot Master collapses onto the ground, causing Pit to rush over with concern. Using his final moments to deem Pit worthy of the vehicle, the Chariot Master's body fades away, leaving Viridi to remark that he was an honorable warrior before extracting Pit.

Now possessing the Lightning Chariot, Pit takes a warp tunnel to Palutena's Temple and successfully shatters the force field. As Pit begins traversing through the familiar grounds, he argues with Palutena over her newfound views. Afterwards, Viridi elaborates on the Chaos Kin, explaining that Palutena's change of heart is likely the result of the creature taking control of her. With stronger resolve to save her, Pit reaches the center of the temple and encounters Palutena. Devastated by her current state, Pit engages her in battle, where he must carefully attack the Chaos Kin floating nearby while avoiding harming the goddess. Once defeated, Palutena becomes free of the Chaos Kin's control, and the two reunite—however, the Chaos Kin suddenly rips Palutena's soul out from her back, turning her to stone. As the Chaos Kin escapes through a portal, Pit orders Viridi to send him after it, but the portal becomes too small for Pit to cross. Just as all hope seems lost, Dark Pit suddenly crashes the Lightning Chariot into the portal, ripping it open and granting Pit access to it.

Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex, where he faces many bizarre obstacles along the way—including copies of himself—until Viridi finally locates the Chaos Kin. He pursues it down to Chaos Island, where he is greeted with hordes of duplicated enemies. Dark Pit joins the fray to assist Pit, informing him that he was reduced to nothing when Pit was sealed inside the Ring of Chaos. Concluding that the two share a strong connection with one another, they plow through the remaining enemies until the Chaos Kin itself finally appears before them. They swiftly defeat it, and Palutena's soul returns to her body, prompting Pit to happily reunite with her once again. As Dark Pit watches this display, the Chaos Kin's ash-like remains become animate, clinging to Dark Pit and sending him off the edge. Pit rushes after him and commands Viridi to grant him flight, though she is quick to remind him that because he already used the Power of Flight earlier, using it again so soon will result in his wings burning up. Pit insists despite the consequences, and Viridi reluctantly agrees, granting him her powers in order to save his clone. Once they have been safely extracted, both angels end up collapsed on the ground, where Viridi informs Dark Pit that with the loss of his wings, Pit's condition is dire. Palutena kneels down and lifts Pit's unconscious body into her arms, reminiscing over Pit's wishes and achievements.

Palutena and Dark Pit then work together to save Pit, which they can only achieve by traveling through the Underworld to reach a place known as the Rewind Spring. After an unexpected battle with a revived Pandora, Dark Pit dips Pit's wings into the healing waters of the spring, restoring his condition. Pit awakens shortly after and springs to his feet in celebration, leaving Dark Pit to run off the ledge in an attempt to fly away—however, due to the absence of Pandora's powers in his wings, he falls instead, prompting Viridi to teleport him away. Left to themselves, Pit turns to the sky and happily calls out to Palutena, expressing how much he missed her. She admits that she missed him as well before teleporting him away.

Palutena versus Hades
Having recovered from his injuries, Pit equips the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads through the Underworld to confront Hades. As he's sent down a ravine, Pit questions the location of Hades's castle, to which the goddess informs him that he resides anywhere he pleases within his realm. Hades then appears before Pit, where he swiftly strips him of the treasures before sucking him into his mouth. Now trapped inside a different dimension within Hades's belly, Pit traverses upwards through gelatinous structures until he encounters Hades's Heart. Upon defeat, the heart explodes and sends Pit flying—however, Dark Pit suddenly zips by in the Lightning Chariot, grabbing Pit out of the air and bursting out of Hades's chest. The dark angel tells Pit that the explosion alerted him to his location, causing Pit to express his relief while Palutena welcomes him back. Hades reaches out and attempts to capture the chariot in his hand, but the goddess of light quickly extracts them from the realm.

In search of a replacement for the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit out to meet Dyntos, the god of the forge. Though Pit believes Dyntos is already on their side, Palutena informs him that the god must be persuaded first. To do so, Pit must complete three trials: the first being to defeat replicas of the Phoenix, Cragalanche, and the Kraken, the second being to defeat Magnus, Gaol, and Pseudo-Palutena, and the third being a battle with the Great Sacred Treasure itself. Once the treasure has been defeated, Pit begins piloting it and eagerly zips across the skies. As Palutena and Dyntos converse amongst themselves, Pit crashes the mech into the ground, prompting Palutena to teleport him away.

Now armed with the Great Sacred Treasure, Pit soars through Underworld skies to face off against Hades under the watchful eyes of Palutena and Viridi. Hades suddenly bursts out from the ground soon after, confronting Pit and initiating the first part of a long, strenuous battle. During the fight, the Great Sacred Treasure changes its form while Pit gives chase to Hades through a portal to the Overworld. Here, the lord of the Underworld destroys the mech with one vicious clap, leaving Pit at a major disadvantage—however, Medusa suddenly appears and attacks Hades in an effort to overthrow him. Hades quickly destroys her, but her brief appearance grants Pit the opportunity to grab the remaining cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure as Viridi grants him the Power of Flight. While Palutena charges up the cannon, Pit tells Hades that he stands for all living creatures, departed souls, and Palutena, wishing to defeat Hades in their honor. He then fires the cannon and destroys his adversary once and for all, striking a pose to signify his victory. The residents of a nearby town begin to cheer as Pit flies happily through the air, though Viridi is quick to argue with him over her lingering issues regarding humanity. Palutena steps in to counter her arguments, and Dark Pit appears soon after to fly off into the sunset with his lookalike as the credits begin to roll.

Regeneration Immortality; Godly entities, due to their bodies merely being a physical form for them to shape into[3], 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[3], with them being able to exist as a spirit[13], sheer hatred and memory, or even just pure will itself[14]), Regeneration & Resurrection (At least Mid for their physical avatars; Gods can regenerate major organs such as the heart and even their entire head. Low-Godly in their true forms; Demonic entities such as Orcos is capable of changing between a physical and nonphysical state at will. Mid-Godly overtime in their true forms; Gods lack physical bodies and exist in a metaphysical state[13], with them being able to regenerate from their spiritual state[13], their own memories and will[14], and can potentially resurrect from a complete nonexistent state overtime. Death to gods is but a mere inconvenience[14] which they can resurrect from at a later date[13]. Due to this, gods do not reincarnate through the Underworld[14]), 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[3]), Duplication (Lesser god Uranos[15] 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[16]. Beings like Thanatos are responsible for guiding and carrying the souls to the Underworld[12] and can even rip the souls out of one's body[17]), 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[16]), 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[18]. with the removed soul, they can seal it within an object or cursed artifact[19]), 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[11], communicating telepathically and locating others via this telepathy, and even cast potent illusions[20] which can trick the extrasensory perception of the divine), Memory Manipulation (Through their divine powers, the gods can restore the lost memories of individuals[11], 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[19], and can even do this through sheer willpower[19], with this ability working on organic and inorganic beings[21]), Telepathy & Extrasensory Perception (Divine beings have the unique ability to communicate entirely via telepathy[22]. This phenomenon doubles as a sensory ability that allows tracking and locating of others even whilst they're completely detached from the universe[2]), 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[23], Palutena creating traps that warp space and time and warps people across dimensions[24], The Lightning Chariot tearing through space to enter[8] other dimensions[2], can sustain alternate universe in their bodies[2], and even create physical objects that contain one-dimensional universes[25]), Intangibility (Spatial; Through the use of space rifts[23], 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[24], the divine pantheon can send others to alternate universes through their innate ability to teleport. Dimensional; Enemies such as the Sinistew[25], 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[2], 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[2]. This ability can even extend over to technological-based operations and structures[26]), 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[8]. 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. They can also kill the Hewdraw whose regenerative abilities allow it to grows its entire body back in minutes[27]. Protection from a Source; Characters can prevent the resurrection of other gods, like Pandora who was previously resurrected by Hades[14], by absorbing their remains. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; Can kill gods in their metaphysical state or destroy their souls entirely), Nullification of Regeneration (At least High-Mid; Gods and angels can kill the Hewdraw whose regenerative abilities allow it to grows its entire body back in minutes[27]. To Mid-Godly; Can kill gods and prevent their regenerative abilities from reviving their bodies for over two decades), Nullification of Status Ailments (The healing prowess of the gods allows them to reverse magical blights such as physical transmutation), Limited Wish Granting (The gods have the power to grant the wishes of mortals, though the process behind this is left rather ambiguous. 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[28]. Palm weapons also do not drain Pit and Dark Pit's lifeforce upon use despite using that as the ammo for the weapon[29]), 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. One can also resist and break free of the Confusion status), Space-Time Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, & Physics Manipulation (Characters in the divine pantheon can directly enter and interact within the Chaos Vortex, which is a dimension where the laws of physics are completely irregular[8] and constantly warping the fabric of the dimension), Petrification & Transmutation (Due to the nature of the gods allowing them to shapeshift and alter the structure of their body[3], they can transform into stone structures as a means to protect themselves[30]. Additionally, gods can simply reverse the affects of transmute spells through their magic).

Light Manipulation (Palutena is the Goddess of Light[31], and has a level of control over light-based attacks, and has her divine magic use light in many applications) Curtain Fire & Homing Attack (Can fire off three light projectiles at once in rapid succession and can fire light blasts that can home in on targets), Paralysis Inducement (Can produce a flash of light potent enough that is temporarily blinds the target), Summoning (Can summon Centurions and Armored Centurions to aid her in combat), Flight (Palutena has the innate ability to fly unlike some other gods, and is shown having wings in Super Smash Bros.), Power Bestowal (Can grant the Power of Flight to Pit and Dark Pit which allows them to fly for five minutes), Death Inducement (Palutena's powers, albeit able to grant abilities and blessings to characters, are too strong to be used for long periods of time and will kill the user after long periods of exposure. Can use the Instant Death power to instantly kill her targets[32]) Self-Sustenance (Respiratory Self-Sustenance; Characters like Pit can survive outside Earth's atmosphere for an extended period of time), Weapon Usage (Staff Usage, Hammer Usage, Throwing Weapon Usage, Marksmanship, Explosives, and Unique Weaponry; Palutena uses the same arsenal of weapons Pit uses in combat), Breaking the Fourth Wall (The characters in Kid Icraus are very aware of their status in a game, and constantly make reference to other games like Metroid. They're even aware of The Player and them playing the game and have even told the player to save the game at times), Vehicular Mastery (Palutena has created and uses various vehicles in combat. Hades notes that he drives a chariot in public which other gods note to do), Information Analysis (Palutena can scan the enemies Pit fights and can analyze and expose their weak points by linking a vulnerable marker to the foe's eternal systems. Palutena's reticle can automatically lock on to foes[33] and detect weak points in them[34].

Not only is this an ability directly referenced by characters like Viridi, but the meta nature of Kid Icarus should make this even more apparent. The save and load ability works when a character dies, when trapped or incapacitated both temporarily and permanently, or even after making an incorrect move or decision)

As Thanatos is the god of death and the weapon is made after him [Even having some of his signature attacks], it should have similar attributes to his being), Calamity Manipulation (Can survive being struck by the Pandora Claws fire projectiles made of Pandora's essences that blocks. Given the Pandora Claws are designed around Pandora, the goddess of Calamity, and uses her form as the main ammunition, it should share her attributes), Radiation Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, & Biological Manipulation (Can survive in space for an extended period of time and originally traversed the Sea of the Galaxy to hide the Three Sacred Treasures), Space-Time Manipulation and Immense Pain Tolerance (The Chomp Trap bends both space and time, inducing immense pain to the target which Pit can power through.

Limited Flight (Can fly for five minutes with the Power of Flight before Pit's wings begin to burn up), Information Analysis (Palutena can provide information to Pit on his opponent's mid-combat.

Standard Equipment

Item Image Item 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.

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.
Icon Name Description
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.

Standard Tactics: Palutena often does not directly fight unless she is confronted in close quarters (in which case, she will resort to her basic light attacks and summoning of her Centurions). Her typical strategy involves scanning her opponent's background and abilities before taking precaution and using the divine magic that fits best for the situation to deal with the foe.

Weaknesses: Despite being an intelligent being with centuries of experience, she's often 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.
