The Optical Blade, known in Japan as Fencing: Optical Saber (撃剣オプティカルセイバー Gekiken Oputikaru Seibā), is a Blade in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is somewhat unique as a blade, as its shots increase damage with distance. It has the longest range of any blade and moderate melee damage, but poor homing capabilities.

Idol Description

"Despite its lightness, the extreme heat this glow-in-the-dark blade generates has the ability to cut even through steel. It also has the longest range of any blade and had charged shots that grow in power slightly at long distances."

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.
