The Bow returns as one of the basic weapons that Pit can use in battle. One of the versions resembles the traditional design from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', while the others have completely new designs. It fires charged and rapid fire arrows that function most effectively at medium-long ranges. This [[weapon]] has a homing property like the [[Palm]], making it useful for taking out quickly moving enemies from a safe distance. In melee range, Pit splits the Bow into two smaller blades in the same way as he did in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; however, they do not inflict much melee damage compared to other weapon types. For the Bow's special attack, Pit will aim upwards and fire multiple arrows that fall down as a rain of arrows. | The Bow returns as one of the basic weapons that Pit can use in battle.

In melee range, Pit splits the Bow into two smaller blades in the same way as he did in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; however, they do not inflict much melee damage compared to other weapon types. Bows also have slow continuous fire on the ground, as Pit can only fire three arrows at a time when he's still and then he won't be able to fire more for a second unless he performs a side dash attack. Dash attacks are different for bows, as dash melee attacks have Pit split them into blades and deal multiple hits, while dash shots only fire a single projectile instead of three like other weapon types, but with decent damage. For the Bow's special attack, Pit will aim upwards and fire multiple arrows that fall down as a rain of arrows. | ||
