The '''Palm''', known in Japan as '''Breaking Palm''', (破掌, "Hashou") is one of the nine weapons 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. Along with the [[Claws]], the Palm is one of the lightest weapons in the game. The shots fired from it make Pit create a sphere of energy above his hand, then shatter it into many fragments to deal damage to enemies.

The different Palms are as follows:
