The Staff is shown to be an effective and unique weapon that can use magical attacks. It is also one of the longest weapons in the game, only being dwarfed by the enormous [[Club]]. This quality does not make it useful in close quarters combat, though- the Staff's superior range and accuracy leads it to excel when it comes to long-range attacks. However, unlike most other weapons, the projectiles of a Staff lack homing capabilities despite them having the farthest traveling distance. Because of this, aim is much more crucial when it comes to using this weapon; using the zoom function can be quite helpful to ensure that the user has a clear shot. All staffs greatly slow the user when equipped, which can often lead to a great deal of trouble if the user is surrounded by enemies and cannot move quickly enough to escape. The special attack enables Pit to fire a quick and powerful shot to severely damage enemies. Unlike other special attacks, this one does not cover the whole screen, but instead, is a linear shot that requires a bit of aiming for it to be effective. | The Staff is shown to be an effective and unique weapon that can use magical attacks.
