Claws

The Claws (射爪 Shasō, "Shooting Claws") are a type of weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Appearing as two weapons that fit the user's hands like boxing gloves, claws excel in melee attacks.

Attributes
Always coming in a pair, claws are lightweight weapons which grant the user the fastest movement of any weapon type. They excel in close range combat, allowing the user to strike opponents with five melee combo attacks instead of the standard three. However, their ranged attacks tend to be weak compared to their melee capabilities.
