Claws
The Claws (射爪 Shasou) are a pair of dangerous items worn on each hand. They make up one of the many new weapons introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The Claws are designed to move faster when used in melee attacks, although their reach is the shortest of all weapons.
Attributes
Aside from the Orbitars, the Claws are the only known weapons that automatically come in a pair. 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. The names of the different Claw variants are usually inspired by animals.
Variations
As of now, eight variations of the Claws have been revealed:
