Like the [[Claws]], the Orbitars | Like the [[Claws]], the Orbitars always come in pairs. In addition, they are the only known weapons that never come into direct contact with Pit; rather, they float on either side of his body. The Orbitars excel at long-range firepower, and have a chance at hitting multiple enemies at once since they fire separate shots. In addition, the shots also grow stronger the longer they travel, making them most effective at hitting enemies from a distance. When used in close-range combat, the Orbitars will move from their positions and spin quickly in front of Pit as a melee attack. For their special attack, the Orbitars fire multiple balls of energy that encircle in front of Pit. | ||
