	Guardian Orbitars
Type	Orbitars
Strengths	Defensive strategies in Together Mode
Weaknesses	Short range charged shots

The Guardian Orbitars (衛星ガーディアンズ Eisei Gādianzu, "Guardian Satellites") are orbitars that debuted in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Physical appearance[]

Appearing as red shields with gold accents, the Guardian Orbitars are a pair of weapons that float to either side of the user.

Attributes[]

While the Guardian Orbitars' charged shots exclusively act as attacks in Solo Mode, they possess the additional ability to block enemy fire in Together Mode.

Appearances[]

Kid Icarus: Uprising[]

The Guardian Orbitars are weapons the player can use in-game, which can be obtained as loot, through fusion, or by completing a challenge in Viridi's Treasure Hunt that requires the player to narrowly avoid a total of 25 shots in Air Battles.

Other appearances[]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U[]

Guardian Orbitars SSB4 Wii U — Pit using Guardian Orbitars in *Super Smash Bros. for Wii U*

The Guardian Orbitars appear as both Pit and Dark Pit's down special move, replacing the former's Mirror Shield move from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When used by Pit or Dark Pit, he summons the Guardian Orbitars to project a pair of shields around both sides of themselves that can block attacks from both sides. They also push away opponents upon use, and remain active for a limited time as long as the player holds down the special attack button, or automatically after a few seconds. If the shields are attacked enough, they will shatter, leaving them unusable temporarily.

Pit and Dark Pit have the same two custom variations for the move, Impact Orbitars and Amplifying Orbitars. Impact Orbitars makes the move a proper attack at the cost of defending Pit or Dark Pit. Amplifying Orbitars increases the power of reflected projectile attacks but makes the Orbitars weaker.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

The Guardian Orbitars return as the down special move of both Pit and Dark Pit, functioning identically as before.
