Arm
The Arm (豪腕 Gouwan, literally meaning "Strong Arm") is one of the new weapons introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It looks like a large, metal claw or hammer that fits firmly over Pit's entire arm, hence its name. Not to be confused with the Mallet.
Attributes
The Arm is a blunt weapon that is very effective for melee attacks, although its range is rather limited like that of the Claws. This weapon category is said to be among the strongest in the game, only being surpassed by the Club and possibly the Cannon categories. The Arm is balanced in that it has both a strong melee and projectile attack, although this powerful combination does come with its shortcomings. Executing both types of attacks can be rather slow, and the projectiles themselves don't move as fast as those from other weapons.
Variations
As of now, four variations of the Arm have been revealed:
