The '''Palm''' (破掌 ''Hashou'', literally meaning "Breaking Palm") is the name given to a new weapon introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Unlike the other weapons, it is actually not a physical item at all. Rather, it is described as a magical rune that [[Pit]] wears on his right hand and along his arm. The Palm gives off a noticeable aura when in use.

The Palm allows Pit to harness energy in the palm of his hand, as its name suggests. With this ability, Pit is able to shoot bursts of magical energy that have the ability to rapidly home in on enemies. in close range combat, pit seems to use the palm to "punch" the opponent. Along with the [[Orbitars]], the Palm is one of the lightest weapons in the game.

As of now, ten variations of the Palm have been revealed:
