'''Palutena's Army''' is [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]], where he calls to the goddess [[Palutena]] for her army of Centurions (He shouts "All troops! Move out!"). An enormous image of Palutena will appear in the sky (which is transparent on most stages, but is easier seen on stages such as [[Final Destination (SSBB)|Final Destination]]). The Centurions fly onto screen ramming into other players at incredibly high speeds. When hit by a  Centurion, the opponent takes a range of 15-25%. Each Centurion makes a single attack to a character, and then falls in battle. During the course of the attack, Pit is not bound to a position. Therefore, he is free to move and attack as he pleases. However, unlike most characters, he is not invincible during his Final Smash. When fighting against an opponent using this, they can attack some Centurions to prevent them from attacking, but it is better to [[dodge]], though a [[Smart Bomb]] is useful for eliminating multiple threats. This move is similar to [[Waddle Dee Army]].

==Trophy description==

''Pit's Final Smash. An image of the goddess Palutena appears, heralding the arrival of Pit's legions, the Centurions. These flying warriors proceed to attack all enemies with fierce savagery. Once a Centurion strikes an enemy, he falls from the sky, never to fly again. Centurions are so fast that dodging them is very hard. Take heart, Centurions! Your deaths are not in vain!''

In the original ''[[Kid Icarus (universe)|Kid Icarus]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], the Centurions played a large role in boss fortresses. On those particular levels, Pit could find [[hammer]]s and use them to break open statues scattered around the area, freeing the Centurion trapped inside. When Pit eventually reaches the boss chamber, any Centurions that he rescued will fly in and attack the enemy. This is where the Palutena's Army attack concept is taken from. Just as in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', the Centurions in ''Kid Icarus'' would perish after being hit a single time, though they could attack repeatedly in the original game. They did not return for the sequel—Centurion statues are present, but they only hold items now.

*If Pit has a [[Team Battle|teammate]], they will be able to defeat the Centurions, despite Pit not being able to.

*In NTSC versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a CPU Pit will just spam his [[Palutena's Arrow]] attack when he uses his Final Smash, even at Level 9 difficulty, in the same way that a [[Luigi (SSBB)|Luigi]] CPU using [[Negative Zone]] will spam his [[Fireball#Luigi|fireball]]. This bug was supposedly fixed for the PAL release of the game.

*Pit's Final Smash [[trophy]] is one of the few of its kind to not feature the character themselves.
