arm harpoons feels a lot more like it would be suited as a strength weapon personally… since these are supposedly strapped to your arms and aren’t thrown using brute force like cfist.
though this could also work as a warrior weapon too since I don’t assume harpoons are very heavy (unless they are idk)

honestly the more I think about this I don’t understand how this wasn’t a thing before cannon fist, I mean cmon, throwing pointy sticks with attached ropes has been a thing as long as sailing has been a thing.
hear me out: this could have a crystalized esque effect where if you lodge enough harpoons into your enemy, you’ll rip them out to cause a strong bleed effect.
not to mention every game is made better with a grappling hook.
I could also see this having some nice passive effects outside of PvP combat
IE: dealing bonus damage to sea creatures and getting full loot rewards and better climbing.

ok hear me out:
strength musket = a whole cannon ripped off a ship
strength multi pistols = a pair of harpoon guns also ripped off a ship

… wait a minute, this sounds familiar…
Something about strength-based throwing weapons. A suggestion that got absolutely bombed…
Nah, idk man. To my knowledge this doesn’t resemble any prior suggestion.
You should learn about rushdown etc etc b4 making ranged fs suggestions
well see theres a difference between “its cannonfist but you throw javelins” and “you are a fucking cyborg with harpoon guns go have fun”
there’s a difference between “give berserkers a bow equivalent that scales on strength” and “here’s a new fighting style centered around harpoons”

I need this style to satiate my desire for a grappling-based fighting style in AO (No, karate doesn’t count)

truth be told, when you look at all the other fighting styles, karate sounds unbelievably lame lol.
like you have punching people with the power of the sea.
slapping people so badly it sets them on fire.
turning your legs into actual weapons.
being a cannon.
punch.
punch with glove.
grab.
I didn’t even know about this style existence until 3min ago lol. I do ; however, feel like their different. This style isn’t focused on ranged attacks but on movement plus, the other one seemed to be just spear throw attack but on steroids.
The styles only gimmick is that it buffs grab damage, and the martial art it references doesn’t even primarily use grappling
they’re*
As someone with a 2nd Dan black belt in karate, I can say that i do look forward to Karate fighting style.
fair enough but I don’t see how it’ll compare in raw cool factor to everything that isn’t base combat or boxing lol.
(the most important part, obviously)
Basic at the very least has an excuse for being rather simple, but boxing and karate seem rather lame when you compare them to stuff like knocking fist or iron leg

yea its basic, its literally in the name lol.
consider iron leg was initially just basic combat but you kick and it might have a longer range
twas called crane
I didn’t know that
I suppose its a given that every fighting style will have some kind of magic associated with them.
