AR Battle Mode
The AR Battle Mode is a brand new feature introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This mode allows players to utilize the Nintendo 3DS's Augmented Reality (AR) mechanic to engage in battles using official Kid Icarus collectable cards, which will spawn characters using the device's cameras. Each copy of the game comes with six random cards.
Classes
As of now, there are seven confirmed classes of AR cards:
Palutena's Army
Palutena's Army is the class that includes the main protagonists and their supporters, including Palutena herself, Pit, the Centurions, and even Pit's Power of Flight. This class is represented by Palutena's symbolic halo with wings and the color light blue.
Underworld Army
The Underworld Army is the class of Medusa and her minions, which include all enemies and most of the game's bosses. Other supporting villains fall into this group as well such as Dark Lord Gaol and Thanatos. This class is represented by an evil symbol that resembles an eye and the color purple.
Unaffiliated
Unaffiliated characters are those that don't necessarily support either side, although they can still be classified as good or evil. Magnus, Souflee, and the Fighters can be considered neutral, while Dark Pit takes on an antagonistic role despite him not being affiliated with the Underworld Army. Certain items also fall into this group, such as the Fiend's Cauldron. This class is represented by a simplistic oval symbol and the color grey.
Pirate
The true name of this class is unknown, but seemingly consists of characters that fight against both good and evil forces for their own purposes. Thus, the Space Pirates, their captain, and likely the Space Pirate Ship fall under this group. It is represented by the color yellow.
Weapon
The Weapon class includes every weapon and its respective variations including the Three Sacred Treasures that Pit can utilize in battle. All nine of the individual weapon groups and the Three Sacred Treasures are represented by their own unique symbol and the color dark blue. It appears all weapon AR cards summon Pit using the said weapon.
Item
The Item class includes all of the items that can be collected in the game by Pit. Being one of the smallest classes, it includes the Treasure Chests, Hearts, and Food among other items. This class is represented by an image of a treasure chest and the color pink. It is currently unknown what purpose the Item class will serve during AR Battles.
Vehicles
The Vehicles class includes all the useable vehicles in the game. This includes the Exo Tank and a few others. This class is represented by the color beige, and a gear symbol. It is currently unknown what purpose the Vehicle class will serve during AR Battles.
