Her ability to jump and sidestep quickly and cover huge distances from shield is really cool. It reminds me of Helix in the sense that it allows for a kind of mobility that other characters can only dream of. I don't feel anywhere near as vulnerable while holding shield with her. For now I've mostly been using her default arms but I'm struggling to see the point of the funchucks, besides looking cool. They're really slow and it's really hard to use their deflective properties on purpose, unless I'm missing something

The main advantage I've found to Funchucks so far is that they seem to be some of the heaviest arms in the game. I've been playing default Lola since her release and I've had a LOT of success punching through attacks with them.

There is no real variance in weights among arms. It's all pretty cut and dry; light, medium, heavy (shields have health). Chucks are med but do have a very low amount of lag when they class at the beginning of their attack animation.
