Claws (射爪 Shasou) are a pair of dangerous weapons worn on each hand. They are one of the many new weapon types introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Claws are designed to move faster when used in melee attacks, although they typically have shorter range than other weapons. Claws' melee combos consist of five attacks, which is more than any other weapon.

Attributes

Aside from Orbitars, claws are the only weapons that automatically come in a pairs. Pit wears them over each of his hands, and are very fast at close range. Like the Blade, they are also capable of rapid-fire attacks and charged shots. For their special attack, Pit will spin around very fast whilst the claws produce an onslaught of whirlwind projectiles that will cut through enemy forces. Many Claw variants have names that are inspired by animals.

Variations

The different types of claws are as follows:

Brawler Claws

An oddly clawless version with the appearance of clenched fists. They lack power, but the Brawler Claws are one of the fastest weapons in the game, allowing the user to fire blasts of swinging fists at an incredible speed while also increasing the user's movement speed more than any other weapon in the game. However, they have a very short range. Brawler Claws.png

This variation has transparent blades and is decorated with bandages and sunglasses. These claws fire invisible projectiles and barely make a sound while attacking, but do less melee damage. Stealthclaws.png

Artillery Claws

Cancer Claws

One of the Zodiac Weapons, this pair of claws is inspired by the fourth sign of the Zodiac and resembles a crab's claws. It can be found in a Zodiac Chamber in Chapter 8, hidden behind a group of constellations in the hold of the Space Pirates' ship; falling off the first platform in the room and then walking counterclockwise will allow access to the chamber. Unlike most weapons, the Cancer Claws' continuous fire increases the user's movement speed while firing. CancerClaws.jpeg

Beam Claws

A pair of claws with blades made from energy. Its projectiles travel faster than those of other claws and have a range on par with most Bows, but it has no homing ability and does not inflict much melee damage. Beam Claws.png
