'''Heavenly Light''' ({{ja|天の光|Ten no Hikari}}, ''Heavenly Light'') is one of {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s alternate [[neutral special move]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

==Overview==
When used, a wide vertical pillar of light shines down on Palutena for some time. Any opponent within the light will be damaged, but it can be [[absorb]]ed. This move does not cause [[flinch]]ing or [[knockback]], but it does have a weak [[push]]ing effect. The effect can last longer if the special button is held, its maximum being 3 seconds.

While the attack can be used to steal KOs from opposing players, its inability to make fighters flinch does mean that Palutena is highly vulnerable to punishment, as the move's pushing effect is not strong enough to keep opposing players from attacking her directly. Additionally, the move suffers from high ending lag.

The move is particuarly useful in [[Trophy Rush]], due to it covering roughly half the stage and destroying nearly all blocks in its radius.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Palutena|Neutral|name1=Autoreticle|desc1=Fire energy blasts from your staff directly at an opponent in front of you.|name2=Explosive Flame|desc2=Create a blast in front of you that can hit opponents multiple times.|name3=Heavenly Light|desc3=Surround yourself in rays of light that damage opponents.|main=3}}

==Origin==

Heavenly Light is one of the many {{s|icaruspedia|powers}} [[Pit]] or a {{s|icaruspedia|fighter}} can wield in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. It is an offensive power that creates a pillar of light around the user, damaging foes while causing no knockback. These traits carry over into ''Smash 4''.

==Trivia==
*Heavenly Light is the largest-area attack usable by any playable character without the aid of an [[item]]. Its huge area was specially noted in [[List of Director's Room Miiverse posts/Archive 4#AYMHAAACAAAYUKlb3K0vUA|this Miiverse post]].
*Heavenly Light also appears as a power and event in Smash Run.
