Amazon Pandora (女戦士パンド－ラ Onna Senshi Pandôra, "Woman Warrior Pandora") is the true humanoid form of the Goddess of Calamity, Pandora. She takes on this form during the second phase of her second battle.
Like her previous form, she is voiced by Nika Futterman in the English version of Kid Icarus: Uprising, and by Mariko Suzuki in the Japanese version of the game.
Physical Appearance[]
Concept art of Amazon Pandora from Uprising.
In her true form, Pandora resembles a beautiful young woman, standing at a height of around 5'8" (173 cm[1]). She sports a long, blue ponytail, pink eyes and eye shadow, and a golden ring to decorate her hair in the same fashion as her previous form. The outfit she now wears consists of a light blue and purple corset, with stockings and sleeves to match.

Chapter 22: Scorched Feathers[]
When Dark Pit arrives at the Rewind Spring, Pandora suddenly emerges from his wings and attacks him for stealing her powers prior. After a brief battle, Pandora uses the spring to restore herself to her true form as Amazon Pandora, boasting to the other gods about her new appearance while she engages in another fight with Dark Pit. She is not shown again after her defeat.
Battle Style[]
Similarly to her previous form, Pandora tends to spawn bombs in order to attack. However, rather than spitting them out, they will materialize in a triangle around the Rewind Spring. She will then teleport to the one opposite to Dark Pit and attempt to strike at him with a melee attack. Just like in her previous battles, she can be hit with her own bombs by using melee attacks to hit them back at her, but the bombs will damage Dark Pit should he try this technique before she lands the first hit on her bombs.
If Dark Pit gets close enough she will attack him with her sword by whirling around with her blade outstretched. She may also slash downwards to fire five blades of energy across the ground.
She will also fire powerful heart-shaped projectiles, which cause paralysis and come in bursts of four to six. She can also create small pink hearts that inflict weaken at medium range.
Pandora will fake being defeated once her health becomes low enough. If the player falls for this trick, she will whip around and attempt to catch Dark Pit with a surprise attack of heart shots. These hearts will inflict the weakening status ailment on Dark Pit, lowering his health considerably.
She can also lay down crystal heart-shaped barriers that will reflect Dark Pit's attacks. However, these can be destroyed after enough damage has been inflicted. Additionally, Pandora will also spawn Capture Circles and Pandora's Boxes.

Trivia[]
- Amazon Pandora is the first Underworld boss to be battled after the Medusa arc is finished.
- In her concept art and in the official height chart, the purple parts of her outfit around her chest and hips are absent. This was changed for her finalized appearance in the game.
- Because of this form, Pandora is fought more than once throughout the entire game, previously having served as the boss of Chapter 5. Other bosses with this distinction are Dark Lord Gaol (stage boss of Chapter 2 and one of the mid-bosses in Chapter 24), the Hewdraw's first two heads to be knocked off (the first one becomes the stage boss of Chapter 3 with the second being the second mid-boss of that same chapter), the Galactic Fiend Kraken (stage boss of Chapter 8 and another mid-boss in Chapter 24, though that could be a different kraken), the Chaos Kin (stage boss of Chapters 20 and 21 as well as the mid-boss of the latter), and Hades (mid-boss of Chapter 23 and final boss fought in Chapter 25). Twinbellows does not count, although he does get copied for the boss rush in Chapter 9.
