ARMS (equipment)

This article is about the glove-like weapons. For other uses, see ARMS (disambiguation).

ARMS are weapons worn on a fighter's extendable limbs (also known as 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, however each ARM can only be default on one fighter. 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 they may have. Spring Man, Min Min, and Max Brass all have abilities which, while active, allow their ARMS to stay permanently charged.

ARMS belong to one of at least five different types and possess one of eight different attributes.

Types

(Note: these names may not be official.)

• Curve ARMS fly in a wide arc from their starting position before returning. Their trajectory can be modified significantly by curving them.
• Glove ARMS function like basic boxing gloves. By default, they travel in a straight linear path but can be curved. How steep the curve can be depends on the glove.
• Heavy ARMS work similarly to Glove type ARMS; however, they are bigger, heavier, and do more damage. They can also be used to block enemy attacks.
• Multi-Shot ARMS fire many small projectiles at once, and are therefore harder to evade than other types, but are generally light and can be knocked down by most other ARMS.
• Whip ARMS that can be sent in many different angles to hit your opponent. They have a slight delay before hitting so they are best used for predicting where your opponent is going.
• Beam ARMS fire a beam that can sweep left or right when curved.
• Shield ARMS move slowly and can block multiple hits before retracting.
• Unique ARMS have their own abilities that are not shared with any other ARMS.

Attributes

There are seven attributes in ARMS. The attribute of an ARM will kick in after it is charged. When a fighter is hit by an ARM with an attribute, they will undergo a specific status effect, and in all cases except Blind, they will be surrounded by an effect of a color corresponding to that attribute. Poison will be part of an upcoming free update for ARMS, which will also include a new fighter, stage, and ARMS.

Acquiring ARMS

Main article: ARM Getter

The ARMS Getter training stage.

ARM Getter is a single-player training stage that allows the player to acquire new ARMS. Players earn ARMS by hitting a number of reward boxes within a certain time limit. Players may pay 30 for a short timer, 100 for a medium timer, or 200 for a long timer.
