Starting at 294%, a fully charged arrow can [[KO]] a middleweight such as [[Mario]] — making it deadly in [[Super Sudden Death]] — and an uncharged arrow can KO at 562%.

This is one of the few Special moves that can perform a 180˚ and 360˚ reversal, by holding away from the direction the player is facing while charging an arrow. This does not affect attack power.

In ''Smash 4'', the move functions the same, although the range of Pit's arrows have been drastically reduced, no longer able to curve in a full circle on large maps and only traveling almost the length of Final Destination before fading into sparkles. However, the arrows still maintain their incredible accuracy, making the distance nerf negligible. Fully charged, Pit's arrows travel much further, almost the length of two Final Destinations. However, the arrows disappear when it reaches the blast zone, removing techniques and mindgames that involve it (such as Arrow Rain).

|desc=The bow Pit got from Palutena after the Medusa incident. As a standard bow, it's capable of firing arrows of light that can change direction. It can also be split to form two short swords--Pit holds one sword in his right hand in a standard grip and one in his left in a reverse grip. He may hold them like this so he can shift between bow and swords without losing a beat.

Palutena's Arrow didn't appear in a ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' game prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' (though it does appear in the later game ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' as the {{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}}, which bases much of its aesthetic on designs which debuted or appeared in ''Brawl''), but in the original games, Pit used a bow as his trademark weapon. The move appears to be based on the Arrow of Light, one of the three Sacred Treasures used to defeat Medusa. Normally, Pit fired regular arrows. Also in the original titles, Pit could aim his bow upwards, much like how he can with the Palutena Bow in ''Smash Bros''. Before ''Kid Icarus Uprising'', Pit's bow did not have the ability to split into two blades. This is explained in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|the Subspace Emissary]].
