The Ancient Staff (古代の祖杖, Kodai no Sojou) is a Staff in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It has the shortest range of all staffs. Its charged shots have a high nullification value, making it ideal for defense. This weapon also slows its user the most out of all weapons. While it is slow and has a short range, its shots hang in midair for a few seconds when they reach the end of their range. This weapon can also paralyze its targets.
Idol Description
