THIS, WONDERFUL GUIDE, is a FOLLOW-UP to the WONDERFULLER GUIDE created by THESILENTBUN7. TODAY, we WILL be FOCUSING on C O M B A T .

This game has SO many weapon

Alright, ALRIGHT. Now, I KNOW I might come off as AGGRESSIVE, BUT I A S S U R E YOU that I am a RELIABLE SOURCE. NOW, LET US GET TO THE CONTENT.
Now listen closely. Here's a little lesson in dickery, this is going down in history. If you want to be a Brawlhalla player, number one, you have to learn how to get it done.

Watch my moves and sne- Okay, I'm done. There are many weapons in BRAWLHALLA, but getting to know them is a personal journey. There are speedy boi weapons, less speedy bois, and slow (normally bad) weapon bois. There are Katars (knife hand thingies), Swords (big one-pronged forks), Blasters (gun not guns), Scythes (slicey swingy bois) and Axes (big swingy bois) in the speedy boi category. Following them, we got Spears (stabby bois), Gauntlets (annoying grabby bois), Bows (stringy combo bois), Orbs (ball bois) and Axes (big swingy bois). Then, we got the slow bois. These are categorized by their hard hits, but slow light attacks shared by every character with these weapons; Hammers (smashy bois), Lances (BIG stabby bois), Cannons (boomy bois) and Axes (big swingy bois). Now, you may notice that Axe is in all three categories. Mostly because, as my friend THESILENTBUN7 calls it, "Fast and slow and hard hitting and complete b*llshit."

The next three sections will lightly go over each weapon and how to basically use them.

WAIT, BUTTON TIME

I MISSED A THING. VERY IMPORTANT THING. Okay, lightning round time.

Each character has a weapon without any weapons, this is called unarmed. Unarmed is complete mid-tier, where a good player can hand your sweet A++ a*s to you, while it can be used without much difficulty by a gold scrub like me. There are six light attacks per weapon, and five "heavies" (also known as signatures). There are three light and signature attacks while on the ground: neutral, side and down. Neutral lights normally hit either diagonal or directly in front of you on the ground. Side lights can be a dash or lunge to the side, hitting enemies along the way. Downs are a mixed bag, hitting far away or really close. Signatures are generally the same, except neutral "sigs" normally hit in the air above you.

Air lights are mostly the same, the neutrals hitting above, sides to the... Well, side, and downs hitting down. Heavy attacks in the air are another story. Any direction except down will initiate a recovery, useful for getting back onto the stage. Down air heavies, known as a ground pound, sends you straight down. Useful for spiking someone to death. (Pro tip: Don't ground pound to the ground when launched into space.)

That's about it for button imputs. Oh wait, there are dodges. Using shift by default on keyboard (no idea what it is on loser controllers) you do a flash and void all damage in that instant.

S p e e d y b o i s

Time to do this super fast because I'm getting tired.

Katars: Fast, annoying, really fun to play. Air combat is your friend.

Swords: Slightly less fast, just as annoying, less fun to play. Ground neutral lights are your zoning friend.

Blasters: BE ANNOYING WHILE ON AIR AND ON GROUND. You are the zoning king with all of your grounded light attacks.

Scythes: Be fast as he*l and use the best weapon in the game. Easy.

Orb: Fling your balls everywhere. Combos and air combat define this second-best weapon in the game.

Woo, that's a third of the way.

Medium s p e e d bois

Now we go on to the slower speed bois.

Spears: You are the prince of zoning, by stabbing the he*l out of your opposition.

Gauntlets: You have b i g g e r fists, so grab your opponent by the balls and force them into rooster and sphere torture.

Bows: You shoot people using the same exact combo, over... And over... And over...

Time for the slow dudes. Bows are also apparently broken.

T h i c c M a m a s

Time to go fast through the slowest bois in this fast-paced fighting game.

Hammer: Side air light attacks. Do it while falling down. Easy win.

Lance: You are fast in the air, but weak to straight above attacks. Be careful and you can zero to death v e r y fast.

Cannon: Don't. Just don't. This is bad, like, really bad. Most characters that have this weapon are at the bottom of the cannon barrel.

Wait... I'm missing a weapon. Oh no...

LET ME AXE YOU A QUESTION

Do you want to win with as little brain power as possible? Do you want to get yelled at for spamming the same moves for that victory royale? Well...
I
Got
The
Weapon
For
Y o u.

Axe:
Side light > neutral air / side air / recovery / down air

Neutral air after Side Light > neutral air / side air / down air / recovery

Every attack leads into another, eventually leading to your or their death. This is the p o w e r of the swingy boi.

This is the POWER...

Of

The

Axe.

Axe is the ultimatum, it is the infinity of the universe within the blade of a weapon.
