The Lokjaw is a Unique-type ARMS weapon with the Explosion attribute.

Description

Appearance

The Lokjaw bares a striking resemblance to the Hedlok mask, having the same gold teeth and silver finish, most likely because it's made from Hedlok. Due to its small size, it only has one eye on the top of the device that opens up when charged. As with Hedlok, the Lokjaw also has spiraled irises that are present on all those with the ARMS ability. It fires a decently sized red and black explosive ball when charged, similar to those used in Hedlok's Rush attack. Otherwise, it behaves similar to the Heavy ARMS.

Function

"Cobbled together using spare parts from another ARMS Labs creation, this baby breathes fire. Its developers think it's adorable. It's really not."

—Official Description

• A round massive ARM which fires in a slow linear trajectory with some manual control.
• The Lokjaw uses the Explosion Attribute, but functions differently than other arms of that nature. Instead of connecting with an explosion, it launches one at the opponent. It also can not explode on the user.
• When uncharged, the ARM will function very similarly to the Megaton except slower and with less curve potential.
• When charged, the manner in which Lokjaw deals damage varies.
  • When used close up, Lokjaw can deal its initial hit via direct contact and then fire its explosive ball which deals Explosion damage.
  • When used at range, Lokjaw will fire the explosive ball which can deal both the initial and Explosion attribute damage. If done this way, it is possible for the physical Lokjaw to land one more hit on the target as they are knocked down, dealing an extra 20 damage.
    • Against a super armored opponent, the third possible hit will deal the same damage as the Explosion attribute damage, both dealing 25 damage (due to super armor damage reduction).
• A Rush fires a giant fireball which flies forwards; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Super Heavy for the duration of the attack.

• When charged, if used at range, the physical ARM can land an additional hit as targets are knocked down, dealing an additional 20 damage.
  • Against targets with super armor, it will deal 25 damage, same as the Explosion damage.
