The Silver Bow (神弓シルバーリップ Shinkyū Shirubārippu, "Silver Rip God Bow") is a bow that debuted in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Physical appearance[]

The Silver Bow is a weapon made up of two silver blades, allowing it to be used as both a bow and a pair of swords. Its blades contain blue accents, and it possesses a dark brown handle.

While its arrows are light green in Uprising, they now appear purple in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U.

Appearances[]

Kid Icarus: Uprising[]

The Silver Bow is a weapon the player can use in-game, which can be obtained as loot or through fusion.

In addition, it is the signature weapon of Dark Pit, who is seen wielding it in chapters 6, 13, and 21.

Other appearances[]

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

The Silver Bow appears as Dark Pit's neutral special move, and it is his equivalent to Pit's Palutena Bow. Upon using the move, Dark Pit shoots a dark arrow from the bow that can be charged by holding down the button, and aimed in one of three directions (left, right, and up) while charging. Compared to Pit's Palutena Bow, the arrow does not travel as far and can barely curve, but they are slightly more powerful.

The Silver Bow's two variations are the Piercing Bow and Guiding Bow, which is also the case for the Palutena Bow. Piercing Bow takes longer to charge and the arrow takes longer to control, but the arrow deals more damage and can travel through opponents. Guiding Bow allows greater control over the arrow as it travels, but the shots move slower and do not deal as much damage.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

The Silver Bow returns as Dark Pit's neutral special move, functioning identically as before, but it does not retain its two variations from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
