The Clapback is a Shield-type ARMS weapon in ARMS.

Description

The Clapback is a shield type ARM with the unique ability of reflecting an opponent's punches back at them. As of yet there are no other ARMS in the game that can do this. When punched, the Clapback will stay in one spot until it either runs out of energy or is punched with again. This varies from the only other shield type ARM,the Guardian, which will slowly move towards its target. The Clapbacks may not seem great as they hardly travel, have a low damage output and no special attribute, but their ability to deflect punches makes them formidable weapons with enough practice.

Appearance

The Clapback appears as a red and black shield that expands when deployed to reveal an network of blue energy.

Function

"It's finally here–a shield that repels ARMS! Any attack that hits this puppy ricochets back at an opponent. How'd we ever live without it?"

—Official Description

• When punched, it reflects opponents' ARMS back at them.
• When charged, it charges the reflected ARMS as well.
