- For the wiki staff, see Icaruspedia:Staff.
The Staff (祖杖 Sojou, literally meaning "Ancestor Staff") is a type of weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This particular weapon is unique in that it uses magical projectiles that can have various effects on enemies that are hit with them.
Attributes
The Staff is shown to be an effective and unique weapon that can use magical attacks. It is also one of the longest weapons in the game, only being dwarfed by the enormous Club. This quality likely makes it effective in close-range combat since the tip of the weapon can reach quite far. In addition, the Staff excels when it comes to long-range attacks, as some of its variations can cast magic spells that have unique effects on enemies, such as trapping them within a force field. However, unlike most other weapons, the projectiles of a Staff lack homing capabilities despite them having the farthest traveling distance. Because of this, aim is much more crucial when it comes to using this weapon.
Variations
As of now, nine variations of the Staff have been revealed:
