Palm
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 a rainbow tattoo that Pit wears on his right hand and along his arm. The Palm gives off a neon aura when in use.
Attributes
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 rainbow-colored energy that have the unique ability to home in on enemies. Not much is known about how this weapon can be used in close-range situations. Much like the blade, it can fire charged and rapid fire attacks.
Variations
As of now, two variations of the Palm have been revealed:
