The Club (巨塔 Kyotou, literally meaning "Giant Tower") is a new weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is shown to be one of the strongest weapons in the game, and is capable of a variety of different attacks.

Attributes

As shown by its size, the Club is an incredibly effective weapon in battle. However, with all of that brute strength comes a slowed attack and movement speed. Despite this, the Club can deliver heavy damage to even the strongest of enemies at close range. It is rather limited when it comes to fighting from a distance, although it can launch at least two different slow-moving projectile attacks that can plow through multiple enemies. In addition, the Club is also capable of deflecting certain projectiles back at the monsters that unleashed them.

Variations

As of now, six variations of the Club have been revealed:

Ogre Club

(巨塔鉱物の魂 Kyotou Koubutsu no Tamashii)

The basic Club, which looks like a stone club embedded with a glowing eye. It is capable of launching shockwaves of energy when slammed into the ground, as well as miniature whirlwinds that can hit multiple enemies with one attack. Item09 01 on.png

Black Tower

(黒い巨塔 Kuroi Kyotou, "Black Giant Tower")

A version of the Tower that resembles a large stone slab. Although it is rather bland in appearance, it can unleash a large tower of spinning gears as a protectile attack. Item09 04 on.png

Light Ring Tower

(光輪の巨塔 Hikariwa no Kyotou, "Light Giant Tower")

A seemingly celestial variation that appears to be made up of numerous glowing rings. It can create luminescent projectiles made up rings surrounding a blade-like star. Item09 03 on.png

Tower of Babel

(バベルの巨塔 Baberu no Kyotou)

A stone Tower with small clouds circling around it that can unleash massive shockwaves. Item09 02 on.png

Tower: Skyscraper

(巨塔スカイスクレイパー Kyotou Sukaisukureipaa)

What appears to be the blade used by Magnus, although due to its sheer size is likely classified in this weapon group instead of the Blade group. ???

Trivia

  • The Tower of Babel variation is visually based on the biblical structure of the same name. Not only does its design greatly resemble the twisting structure of the Tower of Babel itself, but the weapon is also decorated with clouds circling around it just like in the conceptual paintings of the actual Tower.
