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. | At first sight, the Blade appears to be a sort of laser gun with either a metal barrel or sword extending out of it.

The Blade, known in Japan as Fencing (撃剣, "Gekiken") is one of nine types of weapons 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. As a general rule, fusing a Palm / Cannon, Palm / Club, Staff / Cannon Bow / Arm, or Club / Arm will produce a blade. 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:

| A green blade that can shoot multiple rotating charged shots at once, giving it better than average shot cancellation ability. This blade is ideal for players with a poor aim, however, this weapon is weaker in power and has the shortest range compared to other variations. |

| One of the Zodiac Weapons, this blade is inspired by the eleventh sign of the Zodiac and can freeze enemies with its melee attacks; unlike other blades, its shots are capable of bouncing off the ground, making it useful when fighting in narrow spaces.
