Hits in a 2x1 range. Hits 3 times. Each hit knocking the opponent back 1 panel. It does non-flashing Element 6 Break.png Break damage.

the knockback applied by the attack will knock the opponent out of the attack's range after hit if the opponent is at the attacks tip or two if the opponent is directly in front of the user, neutralizing the knock back either by blocking the space behind the opponent via holes or objects or by using a Chip Icon 6 Standard 192.png WhiCapsl will make all 3 hits land

if the opponent is directly in front of the user the first hit will occur and knock back twice, meaning if the opponent is directly in front of the user, and there is only 1 space behind the opponent to be knocked back to, they will receive 4 hits, the first one twice, and the second and third once each

Beas Jump Logic

the user jumps to the space directly in front of the opponent, if that space is occupied the user jumps into the closest space prioritizing being in the closest vertical vertical column over being in the closest horizontal row

Frame Data

the 3 hits begin at the following frames:

•first hit at frame 11

•second hit at frame 22

•the third at frame 34

if the first hit occurs twice, then it occurs the second time exactly 3 frames after the first, which is the time needed for megaman to be fully knocked back

Unique Interactions

after the opponent is knocked back by Chip Icon 6 Standard 052.png DrilArm, if they happen to land on a Chip Icon 6 Standard 172.png ComingRd the panel will take more time than usual to move the opponent on it

Competitive Overview

Chip Icon 6 Standard 052.png DrilArm is a very rarely used chip

it is a melee attack that can do deadly damage if set up correctly, even being able to start chains of attacks due to it not flinching the opponent

Synergies

using Chip Icon 6 Standard 052.png DrilArm while being in ground cross will increase the damage quite a bit, even giving you the option of chip charging if setting up the attack is too difficult

tengu cross can make setting up this attack quite a bit easier with it's wing gust pulling opponents into range the same applies to Chip Icon 6 Standard 135.png Fan

adding Chip Icon 6 Standard 192.png WhiCapsl can help ensure all 3 hits landing even though it insures that the attack would never hit four times beast out jumping directly in front of the opponent makes any setup unnecessary

Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab can help the user land their attack not allowing the opponent to avoid the attack by staying in the back row, also helping in confirming 3 or 4 hits

Counterplay

sitting at the back row should be enough to avoid this attack, if the user is in tengu cross or in beast out, making sure there is an obstacle in front of you should do the trick

Chip Icon 6 Standard 134.png Wind can push the user out of their own attacks range, so can tengu cross's charge shot

it's also crucial to make sure not to have anything behind you to give the opponent their full 3 hits, unless the opponent has +1 area, in which case you want to be in the back row to make sure that you never get hit 4 times
