The Dragon is a Beam-type ARMS weapon with the Fire attribute.

Description

Appearance

It, as its name suggests, looks similar to a dragon. It shoots a laser beam out of its 'mouth'. It appears to be made of green, shiny metal, as well as a metal that looks similar to gold.

Function

"These 4,000-year-old grilling machines spread heat over a wide area. So when you fire 'em up, take your time and cook your foes thoroughly."

—Official Description

• It will extend a short distance then freezes in midair to shoot a laser beam in the direction of the opponent. The laser can be manually adjusted while it is firing its laser.
• When used close up, the ARM will deal contact damage and retract without firing the laser, dealing the same damage and charged effect as the laser.
• A Rush fires a large multi hit laser beam; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Heavy for the duration of the attack.

The ARM works identically to the original game, being able to fire lasers at a long distance. Min Min's left Dragon ARM can be charged once Min Min throws an opponent, providing additional range and power.
