Lasers

Lasers (also called VAUS Lasers) are a game mechanic that move on one side of the screen and shoots lasers, vaporizing bricks. The max you can get is 4 from the prestige shop. The horizontal lasers move left and right, and the vertical lasers move up and down. They start with 100 power, you can only increase their power, and you cannot make it fire faster or move faster. You do not lose them and their skills when you prestige.
==General Behavior==
The laser acts like balls in some ways. It is affected by ball power upgrades, though lasers are not affected by ball speed upgrades. It does "bounce", but only in one direction. Getting all 4 lasers can destroy bricks in a grid pattern.
===Black Brick Behavior===
Lasers behave the same way towards black bricks; lasers and balls with no skills (except sniper balls) have to destroy all the regular bricks before they can destroy the black bricks, also known as BB. However, you can get the "Lasers Always Damage Black Bricks" Skill at 4,1 to bypass it. This skill is located at the Cannonball Skills tree (5th path), needing 2 skill points to unlock, 3 if you count the previous upgrade required to unlock it. 
===Boss Behavior===
Bosses are different from black bricks. They have more health and some are immune to lasers. You can purchase an upgrade that ignores the bosses' protection to lasers in the Plasma Ball Skills tree as the final skill (Skill 1,3) for 8 skill points; 7 for the previous upgrades adding to a total of 15.

==Strategy==
The laser is a very useful tool in the early stages of the game. One of the benefits of the laser is their high damage, paired with the fact that you keep them after prestiging, helping you to get some quick cash in the early levels to purchase balls and upgrades. if you upgrade your level completion bonus in the prestige shop, you can wait for them to clear a few levels, giving you some quick cash to buy a sniper ball, which will clean up bricks that the lasers don't hit. 
Lasers can also be used as a way to deal significant damage to bosses. Once they are upgraded enough they can do massive damage, really helping against bosses with healing properties or a timer. They max out with 10,000 damage. If "Ball Power Multiplier" is maxed out (which costs 1,310,715 gold), lasers can do 2,621,440,000 damage. Then, if you spend 15 skill points to remove the bosses' immunity to lasers, you can essentially one-shot most bosses, at least until the bosses have more than 5,242,880,000 health.
