Background

Dark Pit is a major character in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He is the flawed, incomplete clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. He serves as a rival to Pit, clashing with him multiple times throughout the game. He is currently an officer in the Forces of Nature. Dark Pit first started out hating Pit for ripping off his look, but later learned of the great war and malice the gods were causing and put his differences aside and fought alongside Pit to ensure light prevails against darkness. Afterwards, he returns to being a rival towards Pit. Prior to the Rewind Spring, Dark Pit actually had the capability of flying without any restrictions due to absorbing Pandora's remaining power.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Dark Pit's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Dark Pit first appears in Chapter 5: Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit after being manufactured by the Mirror of Truth just as Dark Pit destroys it. Though Pandora arranged for his creation and intended to have him finish Pit off for her, it turned out the Mirror of Truth cracked in the middle of the process, thus making Dark Pit a free agent. After battling against her, Dark Pit knocks Pit away and absorbs Pandora's remains, obtaining an unlimited Power of Flight in the process.


While being chased by Pit and the Underworld Army, Dark Pit sees himself to be the true Pit as he embodies the original's true feelings. This fact also makes Dark Pit an enemy of Medusa and her army as he battles Pit before escaping. He later reappears to indirectly help Pit by taking out Underworld troops and the Underworld Gatekeeper.

While Pit and Palutena attempt to navigate Arlon's moon base and disable it, Dark Pit makes a brief appearence as a sort of mini boss. Arlon reveals he called Dark Pit after he mentioned Pit was inside the moon base. This marks the first instance of Dark Pit helping Viridi and the Forces of Nature against Palutena's army.

In the aftermath of the Aurum Brain invasion, Pit's soul was sealed in a ring, leaving Dark Pit in a coma-like state for three years. After Pit regains his body, Dark Pit comes to and realizes he and Pit share a special connection. Dark Pit then resolves to save Palutena by borrowing the Lightning Chariot and slamming it into the closing portal to the Chaos Vortex, allowing him and Pit to chase after the Chaos Kin. Though the two manage to defeat it, the Chaos Kin's burnt body made a final attempt on Dark Pit's life, leading Pit to sacrifice his wings to save him.

Wanting to help Pit, Dark Pit heads to the City of Souls in order to reach the Rewind Spring while he and the goddesses learn of Hades's true plan. However, upon arriving to his destination, Dark Pit loses his ability to fly when what remained of Pandora emerges from him and uses the Rewind Spring to regain her true physical form. After defeating Pandora, Dark Pit uses the waters to restore Pit's wings, then attempts to fly away but fails, causing Viridi to step in and save him.

During the first showdown with Hades, Dark Pit senses Pit is in danger, and once again borrows the Lightning Chariot. After viewing the explosion of Hades's Heart, he sends the chariot bursting through Hades's chest and rescues Pit. Before Hades can capture them, Palutena extracts them and the Lightning Chariot in the nick of time.

After Pit defeats Hades, Palutena grants Dark Pit the Power of Flight, allowing him to fly alongside Pit into the sunset.

Pit and the other gods have hinted at being eons old)


Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Divine Magic, Weapon Mastery (Has mastered several classes of weapons and obtained hundreds of weapons over his various journeys and battles), Vehicular Mastery (Can pilot and master various vehicles such as the Lightning Chariot upon just getting them), Telepathy, Clairvoyance, and Cosmic Awareness, (All divine beings can telepathically communicate between each other and use their conversations to locate the other's whereabouts regardless of where they are. Dark Pit could hear the destruction of Hades' heart from the Underworld and tracked down Pit while he was inside Hades. Hades' stomach is an entirely separate space-time continuum from the Underworld. Can sense the presence of other beings even when they're not there), Hand-to-Hand Proficiency, Acrobatics, Limited Attack Reflection, and Perfect Guard (Can perform dodge maneuvers such as rolls, somersaults, and other acrobatic stunts which can deflect projectiles off Dark Pit's body if timed correctly), Limited Invulnerability (Dark Pit can temporarily enter a state of invulnerability after being hit for roughly one second), Stealth Proficiency (Dark Pit's counterpart escaped the Underworld Prison while the guard numbers were low), Social Influencing (Comparable to the original Pit who can haggle with various shopkeepers to lower the price of their products for Pit. Dark Pit's rally cry encourages his foes to support his efforts), Breaking the Fourth Wall (Is aware of The Player and their world, along with referencing other Nintendo franchises like Metroid), Cartoon Physics, Regeneration (Mid Potency and Low, potentially Low-Godly to Mid-Godly [Regeneration]. Pit regrew his hair and healed his bruises from Zeus' lightning bolt by the time he entered the next room. Potentially scales to the lower-leveled gods such as Pandora), Transmutation (Killed enemies are turned into hearts after being defeated), Immortality (Ageless; Dark Pit, along with other angels and gods, doesn't age without supernatural influence and views hundreds of years as a short timeframe), Reliance (Partial; Can survive catching on fire and still persist even after his wings are burned off. Dark Pit refers to himself and Pit as two sides of the same coin. When Pit burnt his wings off and was completely unconscious, he was miraculously able to persist despite Palutena describing this scenario as being fatal beyond her control, implying Pit and Dark Pit's connection kept the two alive long enough to revive Pit), Divine Protection and Blessed (If Dark Pit dies, Viridi will resurrect him shortly afterwards. Pit and Palutena have even referenced several of Pit's past deaths in the past including from the original Kid Icarus game where Palutena was captured and petrified), Time Travel, Time Manipulation, and Save and Load (Can save and load to return at any previous events similarly to other Nintendo characters. Check notes for further elaboration), Self-Sustenance (Respiratory Self-Sustenance; Can breathe in space), Sheer Will, Possession, and Empowerment (Through willpower alone, Dark Pit can possess another's body and grant them his divine powers. Dark Pit can enter Crisis Mode which allows him to persist even after having no health and eventually restore it), Extrasensory Perception, Non-Standard Interaction, and Lower-Dimensional Manipulation (Can see and use grind rails while nobody else can. Can interact with and kill Sinistews, which are beings who reside in a one-dimensional universe. Could sense Ness' PSI energy), Acausality Negation (Irregular Causality; Killed the Chaos Kin whose origins resides in the Chaos Vortex, a dimension with irregular laws and physics), Regeneration Negation (Low-Godly) & Resurrection Negation (Can kill Hewdraw, whose head can live despite lacking a body and even regenerate their entire body back in a short timeframe. Can kill Underworld troops, who are made from souls effectively destroying the soul in the process and characters like Medusa and Pandora. The latter was able to resurrect herself after being absorbed by Dark Pit. Medusa also implied that after Dark Pit absorbed her powers, she could no longer resurrect Pandora), Adaptation (Dark Pit grows stronger through the more enemies he fights, making his powers stronger as well, and can fight previous bosses without the aid of all three Sacred Treasures when he needed them prior. Hades noted how 8-Bit Pit was no match for the current Pit. Pit went from having his stamina and power drained by Monoeyes to being too divine for them to even touch), Telekinesis (Can telekinetically command the Guardian Orbitars, which circle Dark Pit's body even without the need to summon or control them. Scales to Palutena and Poseidon), Summoning (Can summon Viridi's troops and the Lightning Chariot. Can also summon any of his weapons mid-battle to him)


Equipment

Weapons
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.
Powers
Icon Name Description
Sky Jump Jump high into the air from where you're standing.
Jump Glide Jump high into the air, then perform a glide.
Rocket Jump Launch yourself upward with the force of a rocket.
Angelic Missile Transform into a missile that shoots in the direction you're facing.
Super Speed Run extremely fast and knock weakened foes into the air when you bump into them.
Warp Warp from your current position.
Items
Icon Name Description
Grenade Once picked up, you can lob this powerful grenade in the direction of the reticle with your next press of the attack button. The yellow color of the reticle means you can press the attack button to throw an item.
X Bomb X Bombs explode shortly after being thrown, ripping through multiple enemies for massive damage with their cross-shaped blast. The orientation of the explosion depends on the direction faced when the bomb is thrown.
Bouncy Bomb This bomb slowly bounces off surfaces. While unpredictable, a Bouncy Bomb keeps going after hitting walls, making it effective in closed-in spaces. Try sending it around blind corners as a precaution!
Jump Bomb This spring-shaped bomb knocks enemies straight into the sky. You can also use it to jump by throwing it at your feet, making it the rare item that can be used to enhance both attacks and movement.
Smart Bomb The blast from this explosive item slowly envelopes enemies. While lobbing it at random is effective, try taking advantage of the safe zone in the center of the blast. A versatile and deadly addition to any arsenal.
Eggplant Bomb This bomb contains the essence of the Eggplant Wizard's dark magic. Victims of this item are temporarily transformed into eggplants. Once requiring a visit to the hospital to cure, this condition thankfully now wears off over time.
Tempura Bomb What's the worst thing about being turned into fried shrimp? Getting eaten? The embarrassment? Not being able to attack your foes? If it's the last one, watch out for the Tempura Bomb, because that's exactly what it does!
Boom Spear This fearsome attack item is armed with an explosive tip that unleashes a powerful blast after it skewers enemies. Its strong homing ability often helps it find a target even when the Boom Spear is thrown at random.
Demon Vine This species of vine grows instantly, blocking creatures and attacks with its tangled tendrils. This makes Demon Vines perfect for erecting barriers to block foes and seal enemies off in corners.
Cyclone The strong winds created by this item pull enemies toward its center. Any enemies that reach the Cyclone are damaged and then thrown into the air. As an added bonus, they're also spun around, making it hard for them to aim.
Poison Cloud The poison mist that billows from this magic urn comes form a noxious, lifeless swamp. While it's not flashy, it has a wide range, and anyone who steps in its putrescent fog will be assaulted by damaging toxins.

  • Melee Dash Attack: Dark Pit, with his selected weapon, dashes forward and slashes at close ranged opponents.

Other

Standard Tactics: As Dark Pit has access to Pandora's powers, he can remain airborn indefinitely. This allows dark Pit to keep his distance and snipe his foes from afar. If the situatiopn calls for it however, he will summon the Lightning Chariot to his aid and ram it into his opponents at full speed or use it to gain some distance.

Weaknesses: As a flightless angel, Dark Pit's only method for flying is either Pandora's powers, or the Power of Flight, the latter of which can only be used for five minutes before burning Dark Pit's wings.
