What is Gooey?
Gooey puts a green effect on the shuttle. The next opponent who hits it is rooted for about 2 to 3 seconds in the awakenings guide. That is long enough to lose a 1v1 point if they cannot Freeze the shuttle. The meta table ranks it A and calls it the best kill tool in 1v1. A shorter tier list called it S. Both agree on the mode. A Gomu user can answer it by freezing if that ability is ready, so wait until Freeze is down.

How do you get Gooey?
Legendary awakening roll. Tied to the Update 5 discussion, without a confirmed date.
How do you use Gooey?
Best in 1v1. Hit to one side, root them, and take the open court. Kurai's warp is the setup guides suggest. In 2v2 a team buff often does more.
