Strategy
Nuki Launcher absolutely relies on its summons to be viable. Because of his slow rate of fire and how expensive the hero is, it should be recommended to use other heroes like Wizard or Scientist for the early game before investing into Nuki Launcher. It is best to use Nuki Launcher at mid-game to late-game due to its expensive cost and lackluster damage at levels 1-2. Generally, Nuki Launcher works best as crowd-control hero since the summoned Nukis work as melee sub-heroes, able to deal high damage at a cost of very low range. Like most Melee heroes, summoned Nukis can be paired with any stalling heroes like Byte to help them attack for longer. Prioritize being patient while using Nuki Launcher, don't skip waves and optionally have a weaker defense to stock pile more on summons for a bigger damage potential which can help with chipping boss's health in the last wave. Investing earlier in Nuki Launcher is risky but provides a high reward in the late game by stocking up more summons. With his very high potential DPS combined into 1 Limit makes Nuki Launcher an amazing option to bring in the team. If you are going to play on any large maps, Nuki Launcher will be more useful at excelling higher DPS potential and covering up any leaks with his long range. Using Discount Dog on Nuki Launcher could ease up upgrading him. Optionally, if a final wave arrives and boss starts going pass your summoned Nukis, try to sell them to earn additional mana for any hero abilities/micro'ing.

Patch history
There was a Nuki shoulder UGC with 10,000 in stock. It was sold out in four hours. Nuki is based off the Tanuki, or the Japanese raccoon dog. Nuki’s UGC item was found before their release. Nuki Launcher, alongside Chef, Sparks Kilowatt, Buzzer and Stella, is one of the only Heroes to not have their placement icon at Level 1. Nuki is the most expensive Hero, beating Hayes with a total of 28580, with roughly a 3,000 difference. Nuki Launcher is the 3rd Hero to be immune to stuns, 1st being Maitake and 2nd being Lure. The summoned Nukis are not immune to stuns, however. Nuki is the only Hero to have fought as a baby.
