—Official Description

• The ARM hones in on the targeted enemy Fighter, appearing and then smashing them from above, like a hammer.
  • It can be curved to change which direction it travels towards the targeted enemy Fighter.
• A Rush sends the hammer out to hammer down four times; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Super Heavy for the duration of the attack.
