Gum Launcher

The Gum Launcher is a Gum Shoot that launches a giant gum bubble at the opponent. The bubble has relatively loose homing capabilities, but that's because it moves through the air so fast. It has a range of 11-13 orange squares, running up the Standby Dojo wall. With no Gum Damage increasing Shinobi Cards or anything alike, it mostly takes 2 Gum Shoots to Gum Bind the opponent. When firing only small bubbles though it takes 3 to Gum Bind an opponent.

The more S-Energy a player has, the bigger the bubble is, having a bigger blast radius. The damage increases very slightly the bigger the bubble is, but the extra damage is mostly negligible.
If a player has the Wall Shooter Shinobi Card's Damage+ Assist Code leveled up high enough, the Gum Launcher can put the opponent instantly in a Gum Bind. Coupled with the short cooldown of the Gum Launcher, which can also be further decreased, this leads to almost guaranteed IPPONs with every use.
== Priority ==
Gum Launcher takes the middle spot in the priority list. It is ranked below Gum Boomerang and above an undeployed Gum Net. There are some differences when it comes to the size though. Thus, the large version can win against a small Gum Boomerang or Gum Needle. A medium Launcher can take out a large undeployed Net (both dissolves) and a small one a large Gum Grenade. Just like with all the other Gum Shoots, Gum Ghost trades hit with Launcher no matter the size.
===Versus other Projectile Attacks===
The projectile attack priority list can be found here.
When it comes to competing with other Projectile Attacks, Gum Launcher is pretty weak. It loses to a lot of Special Attacks and cannot even stop all projectile Normal Attacks. Launcher can counter Normal Attack Stage 1 of Punch Type B weapons but not Stage 2 or 3, no matter it's size. Aside Normal Attack Stage 1, Projectile Break Attack also don't stand a chance against Gum Launcher. A large Launcher can is just enough to stop the wave of the Special Overpowering Wave. However, the exceptional special projectiles Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid still trades with Launcher at any size.
