Role in the World of Light

Palutena was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of Master Hands.

Palutena was present when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. She attempted to block a beam with Reflect Barrier, which the beam completely pierced, disintegrating her. Her defeat causes Pit and Dark Pit to lose their Power of Flight, making the duo fall victim to the beams as well. They were all transformed into spirits alongside the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

  • Palutena's artwork was one of three to have been updated on the official site, alongside Falco and Shulk. Compared to her original artwork, her halo was added, and her chiton now covers up more of her thigh.
