The Dark Pit Staff is one of the twelve Staffs in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is most powerful when firing at far away foes. As its name states, it is designed after Dark Pit.

Idol description

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.

Base statistics

Notice:
Weapon data is for weapons with zero ranged and melee stars with no mods to them. Distance refers to the maximum range a shot can travel, measured with non-homing shots. Damage (near) refers to the damage done when the target is as close as possible. Damage (far) refers to the damage given at maximum range. The symbol "—" means the corresponding stat is not applicable to that specific attack.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Dark Pit Staff in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

The Dark Pit Staff appears as Dark Pit's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. He fires a highly powerful shot that will in most cases OHKO, depending on how many targets he hits at once. It also appears on his render, one of his victory poses, and as a trophy.

Trivia

  • Despite the staff being named after him, Dark Pit only uses this weapon once in Chapter 6 when he's on top of the hill (excluding Chapter 5 as he uses whatever weapon Pit uses, and Chapter 22, as the player can give him any weapon of their choice), preferring his Silver Bow instead.
