The Homie is a Missile-type ARMS weapon with the Explosion attribute.

Description

Appearance

The Homie is shaped like a curved cartoonish rocket, with a navy-blue base, a silver underbelly, and four bright red fins. It has beady yellow eyes on its front that are half-closed. When it is charged, its eyes turn red and the eyelids shift to appear angry.

Function

"Not big on aiming? These auto-targeting ARMS are for you! They fly and explode all on their own. Why mess around with controls? Delegate!"

—Official Description

• Unlike other ARMS, which the player can curve manually, the Homie will fly forward a short distance before automatically curving towards the targeted opponent's current location when used.
• When it is charged and it collides with a fighter or other surface, it will explode a moment later, dealing additional damage.
• A Rush fires off the missiles which will explode on contact or at the end of its range; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Heavy for the duration of the attack.
  • If the missile is knocked away by an obstacle or Heavy ARM, it will still explode where it fell, which can hurt the user.
