Arm

The Arm (豪腕 Gōwan, "Strong Arm") is a type of weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Typically appearing as a large gauntlet that extends over the user's forearm, arms excel at dash and melee attacks.

Attributes
Possessing great melee capabilities, arms are best suited for close range combat. They are also generally well-balanced, having an average damage output for ranged combat as well. To make up for these advantages, they have the shortest range of any weapon type.
