==How to Unlock==
Palutena is available from the start of a new game and doesn't need to be unlocked.
==Moveset==
 	Name 	Description
Neutral attack 	N/A 	Thrusts her staff forward, emitting a blast of light from its orb. While holding her staff out, she then proceeds to attack with repeated light bursts, followed by a final burst from an upward swipe.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Telekinetically twirls her staff in front of herself, inwards. This move can hits twice altogether if the tail of the staff hits the opponent.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Kneels down and telekinetically twirls her staff overhead.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Kneels down and telekinetically twirls her staff along the ground in front of herself.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Rams into the opponent with her shield.
Forward Smash 	Goddess Wings 	Conjures a pair of ethereal wings and flaps them forward.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Raises her staff skyward, conjuring a cyan beam of light that erupts from the ground in front of herself. Has the second highest vertical range of any up smash in the game, surpassed only by Snake's.
Down Smash 	Goddess Wings 	Conjures a pair of ethereal wings and flaps them downward on both sides.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Telekinetically spins her staff around herself.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	A flying kick.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Rotates her body to slam her shield behind her.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Twirls while emitting her halo above her.
Down Aerial 	Purging Kick 	A downward roundhouse kick.
Grab 	N/A 	Telekinetically clinches the opponent.
Pummel 	N/A 	Emits a burst of light from her staff.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Slightly curls herself and then telekinetically pushes the opponent forward while throwing out her arms.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically lifts the opponent and then performs an inverted version of the Arabesque (a ballet position) to fling the opponent backward.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically raises the opponent upward with her left arm and heaves them upward by thrusting her staff upward.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically lifts the opponent, then slams them onto the ground.
Neutral Special	Autoreticle 	Illuminates her staff's orb to aim a reticle over the opponent, and then fires three energy blasts at that location. It will only fire the blasts if nothing blocks her target and if the opponent is within range and not intangible.
Side Special 	Explosive Flame 	Creates a multi-hitting explosion approximately 4 character lengths away from herself. If inputted like a smash attack, the explosion hits approximately 7.5 spaces away.
Up Special 	Warp 	Disappears and then reappears in a chosen direction. It quickly covers both a respectable amount of vertical distance and a decent horizontal distance while rendering Palutena invisible (frames 16-32).
Down Special 	Counter/Reflect Barrier	Palutena uses her shield to catch an opponent's attack. If a physical attack connects, Palutena will forcefully thrust her staff out, creating a blast of light. If a projectile attack connects, she raises her shield to emit a rectangular barrier that reflects the projectile.
Final Smash 	Black Hole Laser 	Illuminates her staff's orb and twirls around repeatedly before firing a Black Hole from her staff's orb, after which she quickly retreats off-stage in order to fire a Mega Laser into the Black Hole. The Black Hole does not deal damage, but pulls the opponent into itself and places them in a tumbling state. Conversely, the Mega Laser hits multiple times before concluding with a final blast that launches the opponent and dissipates the Black Hole.
==Other Animations==
Animation 	Description
On-Screen Appearance 	Walks out of a golden door that is decorated with her halo's design and emits a bright, shining light.
Taunt 1 	Raises her arms overhead and then brings them down while producing ethereal wings, emitting her halo, and saying "You shall be purified." (浄化してあげましょう, You will be purified.)
Taunt 2 	Laughs while using her staff to perform a twirling, inverted version of the Arabesque.
Taunt 3 	Lets go of her staff and telekinetically holds it next to herself, then brushes her hair aside while emitting her halo and saying "Ready when you are." (いつでもどうぞ？, Feel free whenever.) before grabbing her staff.
Star KO 	
Screen KO 	
Character Selection Screen	
Crowd Chant 	
Victory Pose 1 	Twirls with her staff held out, hovering off the ground. She then raises it in an arc and points it in front of her, saying "No one can hide from the light." (さ、回収しましょうか？, So, shall we recover?).
If Pit is present in the match, there is a chance she will instead say "Oh, so sorry about that, Pit." (やられちゃいましたね？, Were you hurt?).
Victory Pose 2 	Enters from the side of the screen hovering. She then briefly spins her staff in front of herself telekinetically, catches it, and stands with it pointed outwards. During the pose, she says "Too bad for you." (ちょっと大人げなかったかしら？, I wonder if you grew up a bit?).
If Dark Pit is present in the match, there is a chance she will instead say "Poor little Pittoo." (いつまでも意地っ張りですね～, Forever a nuisance...!).
Victory Pose 3 	Laughs while using her staff to briefly perform the Backwards Showgirl (a pole dancing move) before assuming a seated stance while floating. In the Japanese version, she says (本気出してもいいんですよ？, It's all right to fight seriously.).
==Role in The Elemental Labyrinth==
Palutena was among the many fighters present at the ceremony being congratulated by Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Palutena was present during the clash between Hearth, Floe, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand. During the clash between the six deities, Palutena attempted to fight back the elemental beams alongside Medusa, but upon Blader giving the nod towards Medusa, was launched into the beams from Boreas by Medusa, placing her under the control of Boreas.
==Role in Classic Mode==
Palutena will appear as an opponent in the Brawl, 3DS, Wii U, Ultimate, and Galactic Battle styles of Classic Mode. She can also appear as a random ally in all of the other variations of Classic Mode.
===A Little Devine Intervention===
Palutena's Ultimate style Classic Mode is named, A Little Devine Intervention, and features Father Balder as the final boss. Palutena's opponents all come from series where religion and mythology play a key role, such as the Belmonts being devoted Christians with holy equipment or the Zelda series having multiple deities who often require or grant assistance to the players. The title is the same as a phrase she says in her debut character trailer for Super Smash Bros. 4.

==Fighter Spirits==
Palutena's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Palutena in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
