Damage	25 (35 while gem high)

First appearance	Downwell (2015)

Laser (レーザービーム) is a weapon that fires an instantaneous piercing beam straight down for four charges. The beam passes through enemies and breakable blocks, stopping only at solid ground, and firing it lifts the player upward like a jump.

Behavior

At 25 damage per beam (35 while gem high) the laser has the highest single-hit damage in the game, and since it pierces, one well-lined-up shot can clear an entire column of enemies. The cost is steep — a default battery holds only two shots — and armoured enemies like turtles block what the beam cannot pierce.

Acquisition

The laser can be found in gun modules within safe zones.
