Getting to grips with Kid Icarus: Uprising's weapons can take a while, particularly as there's so many of the things, but Nintendo UK has come to the rescue with a rather large infographic designed to get you up to speed.
The image — helpfully linked below — takes you through the different weapon classes, as well as their pros and cons. It's a bit of a monster but if you're perpetually getting your angelic little backside handed to you in online multiplayer then it might help you get back on your feet.
Still want to know more? Check out our feature Kid Icarus: Uprising What The Review Couldn't Tell You. Good luck out there, angels.

hm..can't see it. I just see the word Untitled. Must be the stupid security here at work.
I can't see it either.
Image is broken lol
Broken image
there is no image like everyone else said. Just says Untitled.
Yeah, there seems to be some difficulty with the image! It is available on my website. If i'm allowed to post the link?

Hold on. IGN said Kid Icarus DOESN'T support CPP. Right?
@ZeroX I'm not sure what IGN said, but Icarus definitely does support CPP for lefties
"helpfully embedded below"
More like horribly embedded. =P
I can't read what it says on the link posted.
I can't read text that small, and if I zoom in, it's too pixelated to read! This thing is useless!
I was about to come in here and say "This is the best thing that Nintendo Life has ever posted." And it still is, just in a more ironic way.
I'm really struggling with wrapping my head around this game and this might really help me. LOL
Where is it?! haha
VINTAGE BOY SAVES THE DAY!

(I'd recommend Right Click > Open in a New Tab, because it's pretty huge)

@VintageBoy That link didn't work for me.
this is no where near a complete guide, let alone a bible, dissapointed...
@Some_Chords
Thou shalt not be ungrateful.
...did that help?
Because there was no image, I unconsciously read "helpfully embedded below" as "hopefully embedded below".
Yeah I was kind of expecting something more in-depth, too.
Also the official website has about as much info on weapons: http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/#equipment
But, guys, these are all the weapons in the game! See, the others you have are all just in-game glitches.
But really, I guess the word "Bible" had me expecting all of the weapons or something.
Hardly a "bible."
My thoughts exactly.
I hope this isn't an exhaustive list of the weapons in the games, is it?
Majorly lame. :/ I hope that official guide coming out soon is good with a lot of info and art.
Care to brag about your weapons? Go to the Kid Icarus Uprising Spotpass Weapons forum. It also will daily update on the free spotpass weapon of the day, just give me some time... around 3:30pm for info, 7:00am for what it is
@pikmaniac Definitely no.
@Joshers744
Did NintendoLife just troll us?
@pikmaniac .......stares at avatar.....
Er, not my finest hour. Hopefully image is fixed now..!
Got on here with my 3DS this morning. Decided to check this page to see if the image was added yet. My 3DS was like "ha ha ha no" and gave me an image not displayed message instantly. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much though.
I'll probably get the game when I have money. I need to spend a little bit more on my fishtank first.
Wait, I've seen (And used) more weapons than are on the list.
COOL! And I can see the image...
its a nice image but theyre not even all there. its not what i call a bible.
gamefaqs will have it eventually, if its not already there
Yeah, this list isn't even close to the actual amount of different weapons there are...
No Pandora's Claws= Absolutely no use....
@wariowoods haha, i see what you did there!
but no it doesn't help.
No pandora claws, no crusader blade, no electro arm, and those are just the first few that popped into my mind! there are WAY more weapons than listed here...
OK, will the REAL Kid Icarus: Uprising Weapons Bible please stand up?
@ zerox what on earth do u mean, stupid excuse? you arw complaining about getting moreblevels in an excellent game? sheesh, kids these days... this is the freshest nintendo game for years, very impressed. and so much rwplay value - i keep replaying levels at a higher intensity to get better weapons before i even move on. fantastic stuff ninty - more please.
the wepons are epic!but the claws are more epic
It was defintitely nice to win a weapon off of my first multiplayer game. They give out some pretty powerful weapons to the players. Because of this, it seems pretty easy to get a 5/4.5 weapon within a short period of time of playing the game without spending any actual hearts.
Anyone know if they have any balancing in place in free for all for powerful weapons? I know team matches make the bar decrease faster if you die with a strong weapon.
dang!all these wepons on that picture look awesome!
I can see the picture just fine. I also laughed at the club weapons.
@mario300 Wait til you try em out.
I wish they gave us an idea of what the weapons were made of.
