Gum Ghost

Gum Ghost is a Gum Shoot that was introduced in Season 2. Its main gimmick is that in can go through walls and drains S-Energy. 
When shooting a gum ghost, the gum turns into a ninja ghost that makes the famous Ninjala ninja hand sign. Once its in the range of an opponent, it changes its pose to a grabbing one.

Once shot, it homes in on the targeted or nearest opponent. It can chase opponents even through walls but not through drones. If an opponent is hit, it's S-Energy is drained and gum damage is dealt. If it got blocked it still drains S-Energy. In contrast to most of the other Gum Shoots it does not deal any damage. So it cannot accidentally knock out an opponent. Reminder: an IPPON cannot be scored through the damage of a Gum Shoot, even if the opponent is in Gum Bind state. The amount of S-Energy drained, gum damage dealt and speed depend on the size of the gum. A large Gum Ghost flies very slow while a small sized Ghost travels fast. If the opponent manages to guard the shot, no gum damage will be dealt. HOWEVER, S-Energy is still deducted with an amount of 2 to 6 units. A Gum Ghost homes for a few seconds before disappearing (if the intended target was not hit). How much distance it can travel depends on the size since it's speed is bound to it. 
== Priority ==
Gum Ghost is at the same time the strongest and weakest Gum Shoot. At any size it can go through any projectile. The drawback however is that it cannot wipe any of them out. So it cannot be used defensively. 
=== Versus other Projectile Attacks ===
The projectile attack priority list can be found here.
Gum Ghost can go through any Projectile Attack, including the exceptional Special Attacks Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid. It can not however stop or wipe any of them including for example Sound Bullets of Hammer Type B weapons, which have the lowest priority.
