The '''Blade''', known in Japan as '''Fencing''' (撃剣, "Gekiken") is one of nine types of [[weapon]]s featured in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It is one of the most balanced weapons in the game and is described as being user-friendly.
 
== Attributes ==
At first sight, the Blade appears to be a sort of laser gun with either a metal barrel or sword extending out of it. Despite their initial gun-like appearance, this weapon is able to produce a blade of plasma energy that is used in melee attacks. For long-ranged attacks, it is capable of rapid-firing plasma shots, as well as charged shots if the user waits for a brief moment. The Blade's special attack allows [[Pit]] to summon lightning from the heavens to strike all of the enemies on screen, obliterating most of them in the process.

==Variations==
As a general rule, fusing a [[Palm]] / [[Cannon]], Palm / [[Club]], [[Staff]] / Cannon [[Bow]] / [[Arm]], or Club / Arm will produce a blade.
As of now, eleven variations of the Blade have been revealed:
There are a few exceptions, such as the [[Eyetrack Orbitars]] and [[Rose Staff]] making the Samurai Blade, or the [[Cursed Palm]] and [[Ball Cannon]] making a [[Black Club]] rather than a blade.
 
== Variations ==
The different types of blades are as follows:
