Palutena's Army: Difference between revisions

'''Palutena's Army''' can be considered the only truly "good" army in the game as they are responsible for keeping humanity safe from all harm, and maintaining the celestial balance. It is normally rated as the fifth army in the series, with the others being the [[Underworld Army]], [[Forces of Nature]], [[Aurum Fleet]] and the [[Human Army]]. [[Palutena|The Goddess of Light]] rightfully owns this army, with the main protagonist [[Pit]], being it's captain. This group, while not appearing in every chapter in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', can be found in almost every level in the original ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'' games.

'''Pit''' is a unique angel who, despite his inability to fly, is by far the most important soldier in the army. He used to fight with the [[Palutena Bow]], but now has an array of [[Weapon]]s to choose from.  

The regular '''Centurions''' make up most of the army. They are all identical angelic beings who have wings allowing the to fly coming from their helmets. Their bows seem to possess an unlimited supply of arrows, their main strategy of attack. Theses are seen in every Kid Icarus game to date. The Centurion Knights, Strongarms and Juggernauts are all new forces revealed in ''Uprising''.  

The '''Knights''' are a classier version of the regular Centurions, possessing shields and lancers instead of the bow and arrow.  

The '''Strongarms''' strangely have no weapon, using their brute force to crush Pit instead. The latter, while not very intelligent, are possibly Palutena's most sought after troops (excluding Pit).  

Centurions once again appear with the role of assisting Pit as in past games. However their assistance must be found as is gained through an item called [[Centurion Assist]]. In Chapter 17, [[The Aurum Brain]], Palutena calls the army to aid Pit by carrying him on a platform into the [[Aurum Brain Fortress]]. Between Chapter 18, ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', and Chapter 20, ''[[Palutena's Temple (Chapter)|Palutena'a Temple]]'', the army becomes one of the main antagonists after Palutena's soul is taken by the [[Chaos Kin]]. The latter turns Pit into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring]] where Pit wakes up three years later, unable to remember what had happened to him. [[Pit's Body|His body]] however, remains loyal to the possessed Palutena and has been attacking the humans over the time gap. In Chapter 18, [[Magnus]], under Pit's control, must defeat Pit's Body and return the latter's soul to his rightful body. Later in Chapter 20, Pit must go against Palutena. Here, he must be careful to hit the Chaos Kin and not the goddess herself.
