Gum Grenade

Gum Grenade is a Gum Shoot that when launches takes the form of a spiky bubble. When the bubble hits anything, or has been in the air for 2 seconds, it splinters off in a wide area for another 2 seconds, hitting once every half-second. Pressing the Gum Guard button at any time during its flight will detonate it, causing it to splinter off early. The splinters may be hard to see in a frantic battle. Its range, with a good arc as it is effected by gravity, is about 7 orange squares. Getting hit by the bubble deals damage as well as Gum Damage. The splinters also deal gradually gum damage, which even cannot be guarded.

For the following paragraph, we will assume you have no Gum Damage increasing Shinobi Cards or alike equipped. The more S-Energy you have, the bigger the bubble is, having a greater blast radius. 
* The spliters of a small sized Gum Grenade (1-3 Units of S-Energy) cover slightly more than 1 orange square (6 purple squares). It takes 5 splinters to Gum Bind. Notice how it takes 5 splinters to bind, but the shot only does 4. With a direct hit on the initial shot, it only takes the initial hit and 2 splinters.
* The spliters of a medium sized Gum Grenade (4-7 Units of S-Energy) cover about 1.5 orange squares (8 purple squares). It takes 4 splinters to Gum Bind. With a direct hit on the initial shot, it only takes the initial hit and 1 splinter.
* The spliters of a large sized Gum Grenade (8-10 Units of S-Energy) cover about 2 orange squares (10 purple squares). It only takes 3 splinters to Gum Bind. A direct hit on the initial shot instantly binds the opponent.
== Priority ==
The priority of Gum Grenade is pretty low. It is ranked below Gum Net and above Gum Kunai. The priority also cannot get any better through a greater size than the opposing Gum Shoot, but also not weaker. So a large Grenade cannot win against a small Gum Net but a small one can counter Gum Kunai. Also Gum Ghost cannot counter a Grenade. The splinters after landing or being detonated cannot get wiped out and igore Gum Guard. 
===Versus other Projectile Attacks===
The projectile attack priority list can be found here.
As the priority within Gum Shoots is already low there is nothing much a Grenade can do against Projectile Attacks as they are generally stronger. The only projectiles Grenade can counter are lowest ranked ones, Sound Bullets of Hammer Type B weapons, Normal Attack Stage 1 and Break Attacks of Punch Type B weapons. Also the exceptional specials Thunder Cannon, Cannon Bomber and Fiery Raid cannot hinder a Grenade.
