This ARMS guide covers every character and Arm to make sure you’re one step ahead of the competition. In addition, our ARMS guide will cover stage strategies and offer useful advice for novice and veteran players alike.

ARMS Quick Tips
- Don’t attack first. Let the opponent attack, dodge to avoid it, then punish with an attack of your own.
- Stay charged up as often as possible so you can land stuns are other impactful attacks.
- Use stuns from charged attacks to start combos.
- Grabs are usually more damaging than singular attacks, but they also move slower than most punches.
- A grab can be interrupted by a single punch attack.
- Defense is key. Always be moving or blocking to make it harder for your opponent to hit you.
- If you’re going to get hit, it’s better to get hit in the air. You will almost always take less damage from any juggles that follow a hit while you’re airborne.
