The Brrchuk is an Ice-attribute Nunchuck-type ARM.

Description

Appearance

The Brrchuk's design is highly based around the Funchuk, with an ice theme. The hand becomes a mitten, the nunchucks gain spikes, and the handles take on a padding-like appearance.

Function

"It's a nunchuk that freezes its surroundings with a cyclone of chilly wind! Use it during a jump attack to see something really cool... Aren't you curious?"

—Official Description

• The Brrchuk's attack modes changes depending on the state of the fighter and is the inverse of the Funchuk.
  • When used on the ground, the Brrchuk moves straight forward, spinning to create a large circular hitbox.
  • When used in midair, it behaves similarly to a Whip type ARM, with a tall but thin hitbox.
• A Rush is a rapid flurry of energy waves which mimic the nunchuk, the shape of the energy wave will change when used on the ground of in the air; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Heavy for the duration of the attack.
