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.

Weapon Fusion

This weapon follows standard weapon fusion rules, with the following exceptions:

Dark Pit Staff + Fortune Bow = Palutena Blade (rather than Phoenix Arm)
Ogre Club + Rail Cannon = Dark Pit Staff (rather than Arlon Orbitars)

Notes

  • This weapon has an air to land melee damage ratio of 3.5.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Dark Pit Staff in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

The Dark Pit Staff appears as Dark Pit's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. He fires a high-powered shot that will in most cases OHKO, typically on a single target. It also appears on his render, one of his victory poses, and as a trophy. Design-wise, the staff noticeably lacks the blue, floating globe-like structure on the top that was present in Uprising.

Trophy Description

This weapon may be called a staff, but it actually does better shooting powerful shots at targets at long range. Like Dark Pit, this staff was created by the Mirror of Truth. If Pit were to use it, he'd probably feel lingering echoes of his clone's warped personality.

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.
  • In Super Smash Bros. 4, Dark Pit has two different lines when performing his Final Smash which both can be heard during gameplay. One of them has him saying, "It's time!", but for an unknown reason this is absent from his Sound Test, and only, "Goodbye!", is listed.
