Description

It just an unarmed hand. Hence the name. Due to the lack of weapon, it has much more speed and agility to move everywhere without being hindered.

Strategy

"Nervous fighter with quick response and combos. Where it lacks range it gains high push power, easily destroying enemy combos.Its stances grant a lot of different playstyles."

The Unarmed has the eastern monk vibe : fast attacks, nervous movement and manipulating directly the enemy body everywhere. Alas its shortest range and lowest weight makes it prone to be easily broken too. It must keep the pressure and evade heavy attacks to stay effective and grind the enemy down in the long run. Each stance gives different strategies but with the same attacks. Defense stance also increase punch power, but the low agility must be taken in account when throwing heavy attacks. Dexterity decreases the risks, speed increases placement, but hyperactive is an odd case for player wanting a stupid experience.

Its lack of weight makes it more easily pushed by heavy opponents, even if stamina partly alleviates that.

Quirks
☼ Very fast short ranged combos
☼ Control, push, pull and combo breaker
☼ Wide attacks options

Strengths
☼ Fast light attacks with low recovery
☼ Quick positioning
☼ Easily breaks enemy combos, creates space and backstabs
☼ Aerial attacks
☼ Versatile stances and play styles
☼ Good base DPS and durability

Weaknesses
☼ Very short range, easily taking punishment before reaching an opponent
☼ Low passive defense
► This is the class with the lowest weight, and thus parry
► Can be alleviated with the defense stance, sacrificing mobility
☼ Must rely on constantly hugging the enemy to keep it from starting dangerous combos
☼ Low damage light attacks, more easily soaked by stamina and parry
☼ Heavy opener has a high recovery on miss

Development history

The older stances were based on the main finger, but was updated in the 0.1.0.9 to be more explicit. It was intended from the beginning to be a hardy fighter but the stats leaned more into offense and mobility. It used Brawlhalla unarmed sound impacts as placeholders. The older stats were

Lore

Trivia

☼ It's the only class which is not defined by its weapon, since it doesn't have any
► It's also the only class which stance names actually reflects the orientation

☼ It is the easiest class to animate, since there's no weapon to constantly redraw
► However the attacks have additional frames and wind effects, compensating a bit the workload

☼ The Hyperactive Unarmed is the fastest and most agile class of the game, but having the worse stats elsewhere

☼ Unarmed design was often practiced in occasion where FlameofChange had no items to use, or could not use them

☼ It is planned to have different combos for each stance, due to their character and playstyles

☼ Each class (and by extension characters) has a kind of main finger which rules its traits and strategy, showing when disarmed in the lore

☼ Almost all of its attacks are fingers and hand, except some shockwaves

☼ Other class may have finger and hand attacks, but Unarmed has the most
