Taurus Arm

The Taurus Arm is an Arm introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising that bears the sign of Taurus. It can be unlocked in Chapter 4. In the room where there are swinging blades near the right wall, fall down onto the level with the Clubberskull. Then fall through the hole in the floor that glows. The Taurus Arm features the strongest melee combo of its weapon class; only outclassed by most Clubs. However, its melee dash attack is sightly outclassed by the Upperdash Arm.

Weapon Fusion
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, it is possible to fuse two weapons into a new one. The stronger the weapons you use are, the stronger the result will be. Certain weapon modifiers from the old weapons have a chance of being transported to the new one. There are many pairs of weapons that can be fused into a Taurus Arm. The Taurus Arm can also be fused into many other weapons. Here are just a few examples. "Weapons that fuse into Taurus Arm"
