Prepare for Dust
Look for the Dust Arena, described as a strange rock formation. Spike changes sides according to Dust's facing direction. Forge Arms immediately leads into another attack and empowers uppercuts for two attacks. Uppercuts shatter helmets; the passive says an unhelmeted player is instantly downed while Forge Arms is active.
The Forge Arms attack text calls the empowered hits Instakill while the passive says downed without a helmet. Preserve that conflict instead of promising either survival or a revive. Stone Arms and Rib Breaker do not specify every Dazed amount.
