'''Dark Pit Staff''' ({{ja|ブラピの狙杖|Burapi no Sojō}}, ''Blapi's Aiming Staff'') is [[Dark Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]].

==Overview==
Dark Pit takes out [[icaruspedia:Dark Pit Staff|his staff]] and fires a powerful horizontal shot, quipping "Goodbye!" or "It's time!" (in Japanese, either "{{ja|貫け!|Tsuranuke!}}", ''Penetrate!/Pierce through!'' or "{{ja|一撃で決める...|Ichigeki de kimeru...}}", ''I'll decide with one blow...'') as he does so. Getting caught in the beam deals 1% damage, and the main attack deals heavy knockback along with an amount of extra damage which depends on how many opponents were already hit: 39% for the one closest to Dark Pit, 29% and 21% for the further ones.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move is functionally a clone of [[Zelda]] and [[Sheik]]'s [[Light Arrow]], down to having the screen freeze and the camera zoom in on each character being hit. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', however, both Zelda and Sheik received new Final Smashes, so the move is now unique to Dark Pit.

==Instructional quote==
{{InstructionalQuotes
|ssbuchar=Dark Pit
|ssbudesc=Dark Pit uses his staff to launch opponents with a high-speed horizontal blast that goes straight through obstacles. It can hit multiple foes in a row, but only the first feels its full force.
}}

==Trophies==
There are two trophies for the Dark Pit Staff in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', one exclusive to each version. The one for {{forwiiu}} depicts the Final Smash and the one for {{for3ds}} depicts only the Staff.

|desc=In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Pit used this staff to snipe at Pit from a mountaintop. In that game, it did much more damage when used at a distance. In this game, Dark Pit uses it to launch a high-speed horizontal blast that goes straight through obstacles. It can hit multiple foes in a row, but only the first will feel its full force.

{{Trophy

|image=DarkPitStaffTrophy3DS.png
|desc-ntsc=This weapon may be called a staff, but it actually does better shooting powerful shots at targets at long range. Like Dark Pit, this staff was created by the Mirror of Truth. If Pit were to use it, he'd probably feel lingering echoes of his clone's warped personality.
|desc-pal=It might be called a staff, but this weapon can actually fire shots at enemies and is more effective at long range. It was originally wielded by Dark Pit, the copy of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. Maybe Pit would get a sense of his clone's twisted personality if he used it.

==Origin==
[[File:Dark Pit Staff in Uprising.png|thumb|The Dark Pit Staff  as it appears in ''Uprising''.]]
{{s|icaruspedia|Staff}} weapons are one of the nine weapon classes in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Though they lack in melee and homing capabilities, their range and increased damage from afar makes them ideal for sniping. In addition, the Special Attack for staffs is a giant laser beam, which both bears a striking resemblance to this Final Smash and needs careful aim to be at its most effective (like the Final Smash). The Dark Pit Staff, which is modeled after Dark Pit himself, inflicts a large amount of damage from a far distance, and its continuous fire is also powerful; however, its size and range are less than that of a normal staff.

Dark Pit uses this weapon in Chapter 6 if his location, chosen at random from four possible areas, is at the hilltop. If he is present in that area, he will attempt to snipe Pit from the hilltop once he enters. The effects and visuals in this final smash also look similar to the charge shot during air battles in ''Uprising''.

The Japanese name of this Final Smash makes use of Dark Pit's nickname in the Japanese version of ''Uprising'', being "Blapi", a shortened version of "Black Pit" (Dark Pit's Japanese name). The English-localized equivalent nickname is "Pittoo" (as in "Pit Number Two").

==Trivia==
*Out of the two quotes Dark Pit can say in this Final Smash, "It's time!", doesn't appear in SSB4's [[Sound Test]]. This also applies to the Japanese equivalent, "Ichigeki de kimeru...", as well.
*In terms of damage, Dark Pit Staff works inversely to its ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' incarnation. When the Dark Pit Staff in ''SSB4'' hits multiple opponents it deals more damage to the closer ones, while in ''Uprising'' it deals more damage at its maximum range but less damage when up close.
*The weapon's design in ''Smash'' is missing the blue holographic sphere that is present in ''Uprising''.
*Despite prominently appearing on Dark Pit’s render in both ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', this is the only move where the Dark Pit Staff is used.
