Staff

The Staff (狙杖 Sojō, "Sniping Staff") is a type of weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Typically resembling rifles, staffs excel in ranged combat.

Attributes
Staffs are weapons that have the longest range of any weapon type, typically gaining power the farther they travel. To make up for these advantages, staffs have little homing capability, slow the user down, and possess weaker melee attacks.
