'''ARMS''' are weapons worn on a fighter's extendable limbs (also known as [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]]), in the same way a boxer wears gloves. There are many different ARMS available to [[fighters]]; a fighter may have two different ARMS equipped at once and may switch ARMS between their chosen three at the start of each round. Each fighter has three ARMS available from the start. All ARMS can be used on any fighter by unlocking them through the [[ARM Getter]].

Each fighter has three ARMS available from the start. All ARMS can be used on any fighter by unlocking them through the [[ARM Getter]]. Fighters can charge their ARMS by holding jump, dash or block. Charging ARMS will, for a short period of time, both increase their attack power, and activate any [[#Attributes|attributes]] they may have. [[Spring Man]], [[Min Min]], [[Max Brass]] and [[Springtron]] all have abilities which, while active, allow their ARMS to stay permanently charged. | ||

There are eight attributes in [[ARMS (game)|ARMS]] | There are eight attributes in [[ARMS (game)|ARMS]], nine if including "Null", or No Attribute. The attribute of an ARM is only effective when it is charged. When a fighter is hit by an ARM with an attribute, they will experience the status effect corresponding to that attribute, and in all cases except [[Blind]], they will be surrounded by an effect of a color to show this. Note that Null ARMS gain certain effects when charged as well, but these effects vary and do not involve attribute status effects. [[Poison]] was added in [[Version 4.0.0]], while all of the other attributes were in the game since launch. | ||

When an ARM receives the Plus Bonus, its base damage and charged damage increases by 10 points. For example, a regular [[Buff]] ARM does 90 damage uncharged and 100 damage charged, while a [[Buff]] Plus ARM does 100 damage uncharged and 110 damage charged. There is also a secondary attribute specifically for "generally" '''heavy''' type ARMS, where, if equipped, the fighter does their base grab damage plus 5 additional points. This effect stacks if the fighter uses two Plus '''heavy''' ARMS, meaning if [[Spring Man]] (whose base grab damage is 150) was to equip two [[Megaton]] Plus ARMS his new grab damage would be 160. | When an ARM receives the Plus Bonus, its base damage and charged damage increases by 10 points.
