Following their victory in war with Hades, Dark Pit temporarily became an officer in the Forces of Nature under [[Viridi]]'s command, as revealed in [[Palutena's Guidance]]. Their alliance was forged when their interests in defeating Pit and Palutena overlapped, as revealed by Dark Pit himself.
Following their victory in war with Hades, Dark Pit temporarily became an officer in the Forces of Nature under [[Viridi]]'s command, as revealed in [[Palutena's Guidance]]. Their alliance was forged when their interests in defeating Pit and Palutena overlapped, as revealed by Dark Pit himself.
Being a mirror image of Pit, Dark Pit acts as his foil and possesses clashing personality traits. While not necessarily evil, as he does possess a sense of right and wrong and occasionally acts heroic, Dark Pit is much more aggressive and hostile. He is more cunning and prone to violence, and is much more intelligent with a dry wit to his humor. He inherited Pit's strong will and blunt nature, willing to stand up to anyone deemed a threat, especially towards those he trusts like Palutena and Viridi. Unlike Pit, he despises being a servant and taking orders, preferring to act alone and make decisions for himself.

Dark Pit is tied with Pit for 32nd/33rd out of 55 characters on the current [[tier list]] for ''Smash 4'', putting him in the D tier. Although the differences between Pit and Dark Pit are minuscule at best, Dark Pit's Electroshock Arm side special has significantly more KOing power compared to Pit's [[Upperdash Arm]]. This was made more apparent in update [[1.1.3]], which altered Electroshock Arm's launch angle, allowing for better KO potential, particularly when used on opponents close to the edge of the stage. Of course, being a clone of Pit, Dark Pit suffers from the same general KO issues. Currently, Dark Pit has little tournament representation.

As with his counterpart, Dark Pit received several buffs in the transition from ''Smash 4''. While his overall gameplan has changed very little, many multi-hits connect more reliably, his combo starters are more consistent, and he generally benefits from universal mobility improvements. Most notably, Silver Bow is significantly more powerful, better compensating for its limited steering compared to Pit's Palutena Bow. However, he retains his lack of clear strengths from before, and as such is generally considered to be low to lower-mid tier.
