How to play
Park him behind your truck as a defensive anchor. His long range shreds pushes while allies tank the front line. Pair with swarm cards to protect his slow reload.
He's slow and squishy up close. Rush him with fast melee units or flying cards. Cheap swarms overwhelm his single-target gumball shots before backup arrives.
Flavor
Veteran gunner in a repurposed tank. Rains gumball hail on trucks, towers, and troops.
Locked, loaded, and bubbly!
Backstory
The Gum Slinger was the result of a midnight argument between a Federation engineer and a vending-machine repair tech in 2024. The argument was about whether a gumball machine could, with enough engineering, be weaponized. The repair tech said yes. The engineer said no. They spent six weeks building a prototype to settle the argument. The repair tech won. The Nori in the hatch is the only Nori on the league roster who agreed to wartime service — which is to say, the only Nori in possession of strong feelings about anything. The Federation does not list its name. The Nori prefers it that way.
