==Special Moves==
 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Autoreticle 	2.9% (per hit) 	Takes aim with a scope which appears over the enemy, then fires three light shots at that location. Can be initiated only if an enemy is close enough.
Alternate 1 	Explosive Flame 	0.6% (loop), 4% (last) 	Creates a Smart Bomb-like explosion at approximately 3 character lengths away. The last hit cannot be blocked.
Alternate 2 	Heavenly Light 	1% (per hit) 	Projects a huge rectangular field of supernal light above her and to the sides. It deals damage in the whole area without producing knockback or flinching, as well as repelling all enemies from the sides.
Side Special 	Reflect Barrier 	5%, 1.2x damage (reflected projectiles) 	Raises her shield forward, casting a rectangular shield which pushes opponents away and reflects projectiles. The initial shield bash can damage opponents.
Alternate 1 	Angelic Missile 	13% 	Shoots herself forward to attack with her head, similar to Skull Bash and Green Missile.
Alternate 2 	Super Speed 	2.6% 	Performs a charging attack where she glides along the ground very quickly and for a long distance. She can damage enemies by ramming into them. While in the air, the move will send her diagonally downwards. It is considered her best side special move due to its speed and ability to retain its momentum after canceling the attack, which it gives Palutena plethora of options from her mix-ups, recovery, potential pressure, and mobility. Can be cancelled with her jump, up smash, grab, dash attack, and other attacks. A downside however, is that it has a small cooldown duration.
Up Special 	Warp 	 	Disappears and then reappears in a chosen direction, much like Teleport.
Alternate 1 	Jump Glide 	 	Jumps a fair distance up, then glides similarly to Peach Parasol.
Alternate 2 	Rocket Jump 	2% (ground), 10% (air) 	Creates an explosion that boosts Palutena upwards and damages nearby enemies. The explosion meteor smashes airborne enemies below Palutena.
Down Special 	Counter 	1.3x damage of countered attacks, 10% minimum	After hiding behind her shield, she performs a counterattack with her staff, similar to that of many of the Fire Emblem characters. It has a rather long range and surprisingly high knockback. Will One-hit KO anyone if she managed to counter an attack that deals at least 40% damage.
Alternate 1 	Counter 	1.3x damage of countered attacks, 10% minimum	After hiding behind her shield, she performs a counterattack with her staff, similar to that of many of the Fire Emblem characters. It has a rather long range and surprisingly high knockback. Will One-hit KO anyone if she managed to counter an attack that deals at least 40% damage.
Alternate 2 	Celestial Firework	3.2% (toss), 1.2% (blast) 	Shoots an explosive firework upwards in front of her.
Final Smash 	Black Hole Laser 	2.4% (loop), 12% (last) 	Attracts foes towards the center of the stage with Black Hole, putting them in a tumbling state, then fires the Mega Laser into the Black Hole to deal damage, concluding with a final hit to knock the victims away as Black Hole dissipates.
