Claws
The Claws (射爪 Shasou) are a pair of dangerous items worn on each hand. They make up one of the many new weapons introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The Claws are designed to move faster when used in melee attacks, although their reach is rather limited.
Attributes
Aside from the Orbitars, the Claws are the only known weapons that automatically come in a pair. The main part of each claw is red in color, and held in place by a blue, transparent ribbon. The blades of the claw itself are gold, and decorated with purple accents. Pit wears them over each of his hands, and are very fast at close range. Like the Blade, they are also capable of rapid-fire attacks and charged shots. For their special attack, Pit will spin around very fast whilst the Claws produce an onslaught of whirlwind projectiles that will cut through enemy forces. The names of the different Claw variants are inspired by animals.
