Scepter

The following article is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

The Scepter is a class of Weapon used by Cia in Hyrule Warriors.^{[name references needed]} It is associated with Darkness. The Weapon is a magical rod that allows Cia to conjure powerful magical attacks, including summon Dark Links to aid her in battle. The Scepter also doubles as a whip. Cia's battle style with the Scepter primarily relies on area coverage and long range over brute force.

Variations

The default Scepter is the Scepter of Time. The second form of the Scepter is the Guardian’s Scepter, followed by the Scepter of Souls.
