Weapon

Gum Weapons are tools used by players in Ninjala to fight and defend themselves from opponents and destroy drones. They are given to the player directly from the start of the game and do not require any purchase to access.
== Description ==
Each Gum Weapon has a set kit that includes a Special, Gum Shoot, Gum Ninjutsu, and Abilities. While Gum Shoots and Gum Ninjutsu can vary from weapon to weapon, Specials and Abilities are locked to certain subclasses. Players start the match with a normal-sized weapon, but can construct a bigger, more powerful Big Weapon after reaching eight units of S-Energy. Big Weapons are more powerful than a normal weapon; they do slightly more damage to opponents, have extended range, and unlock a second Big Weapon Ability that the player can utilize.
Various palette swaps for weapons, usually referred to as Weapon Skins, can be obtained via random drops after a match, the Gumball Machine, or promotional codes.
== List of Gum Weapons ==
There are currently six classes of Gum Weapons: Katana, Hammer, Yo-yo, Board, Punch and Extra. Each weapon is further divided into smaller subclasses, which are explained further on each class's respective page.
===Katana===
Katanas are consistent and easy to pick up, as they are balanced in speed, range, and strength. While the Type A subclass is very all-around, the Type B subclass, while still retaining these properties, tend to have a more fluid series of attacks. Type C is slower and more cumbersome but has longer-ranged attacks and have whip-like abilities.

===Hammer===
Hammers are generally slow and heavy to carry around, but deal a lot of damage and provide higher than average health. Hammers are good for players who want a heavy-hitting weapon. The Type A subclass is about negating the hitstun of attacks and hitting very heavily, while the Type B subclass attempts to halt attacks and keep enemies trapped, at the cost of a bit less damage. The Type C subclass focuses more on staying alive and helping teammates, having a healing special and a more combo-emphasized set of neutral attacks.

===Yo-yo===
Yo-yos are extra-long range and slightly-above-average speed, but weaker damage on general attacks and have less health. With many attacks covering a wide range, Yo-yos help players who would rather attack from a distance or help with supporting their teammates, though they all work excellently in close combat as well. The Type A subclass excels in long-range attacks and moves and generally relies on one move to deal damage. The Type B subclass on the other hand, though still retaining the long reach to a lesser extent, is centered as well on close-range combat, and deals more consistent damage. Type C is more mobility-focused, with good range and powerful but difficult to control attacks.

===Extra===
Extra-type weapons are miscellaneous weapons whose play style, health and speed varies. What connects them though, is that they have a unique gimmick. Type A weapons are stylish, mid-ranged and timing based weapons with fast attacks. While its standard attacks are averagely strong its true strenght relies in its zanshin attacks. With these strong moves the player can prevent opponents from escaping or even evade attacks. The wielders speed is low like with a Hammer but not noticable because of the fast attacks. Type B can repell different attack types and punish with strong attacks. Its special not only helps protecting the user but also increases its low speed. That means, both weapon types share the same speed and provide countermeasures. Type B has more health than A.
