Brawler in [2.0 UPDATE!] Arena of Survival

Brawler: Buffs punches. Punching is the default attack. Get it by Progression perk, and an optional gamepass you equip in the perk menu. Use it to Win or escape the first empty-handed fight, then take a knife or spear when reach matters. Do not take a fair open-field trade into a katana, flail, or trident.
