In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', players can access a large arsenal of weapons, from which one can be chosen before each stage or match. Every weapon has melee and ranged attacks, as well as charged and rapid fire attacks. Individual weapons also have different values and bonuses. Players can find more powerful weapons by playing the single player mode on higher difficulties. In addition, each weapon has a special attack that can clear the screen of most enemies, although they can only be used during flight. These attacks are represented by blue orbs at the bottom left of the touchscreen. Overall, there are 108 weapons across the 9 different types. | |||

[[File:Gems.png|thumb|250px|A collection of gems]] | |||
Weapons gems are an alternative method of acquiring weapons. After creating a gem, they can be swapped with another player through [[Kid_Icarus:_Uprising#Spotpass_and_Streetpass|Streetpass]]. Gems can be converted into the weapon displayed or they can be converted into [[Heart]]s, though converting a gem into a weapon will cost Hearts. The amount of Hearts needed to convert a gem into a weapon depends on the weapon value, and the color of the gem is also determined by the value. | |||
Players could also receive gems through Spotpass, given by a Mii named [[Palutena]], from the launch of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' until the service ended on March 31st, 2013. | |||
