Gaia is the newest !! shark in Hungry Shark World. She can be purchased for 750,000 coins or 1,500 gems. The player is required to own Big Momma and Killer Whale before being able to purchase Gaia.

Prior to v5.6.1, she was unlocked by completing the Protect Baby Shark event, which has since been removed. After completing the event, she could be purchased for 1,500 gems.

Description

Like all !! Sharks, she can equip 3 pets and break Purple Crystals. During Gold Rush, her points multiplier is 8x.

Gaia's diet consists of anything except for red jellyfish, lion jellyfish, proximity mines, mega mines, and ultra mines. She can, however, kill these things with her Thorn Mine and Blossom Mine abilities.

Price

Gaia is one of the most expensive sharks in the Tier !! in the game alongside Dark Magic Shark, with both costing 750,000 coins. For deals/discounts you can buy Gaia for 200 gems.

Abilities

• Blossom Mine: Gaia constantly leaves mines that have the appearance of blossoms that explode into flowers and kill nearby enemies. This ability is automatic.

• Thorn Mine: Gaia fires powerful mines that explode into thorny vines. This ability can be used multiple times in a row before recharging, which it does very quickly. During gold rush and mega gold rush, thorn mines are released rapidly around Gaia similar to blossom mines but at a much higher rate.

Appearance

Her appearance and abilities are very nature-esque, having branch antlers with flower blossoms on them as well as crystals and leaves on her body. Her Blossom Mine ability summons flowers and her Thorn Mine ability summons thorned vines.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Thorn Mine ability recharges very fast when it runs out fully.
• The Blossom Mine ability is automatic which means you can constantly destroy prey around you.
• Very strong during gold rush with the rapid thorn mines spawning + automatic blossom mines + ability thorn mines.
• She is pretty fast, making projectiles easy to avoid.
• She is the smallest !! in the game, even smaller than XL Sharks, so she can fit in vents and other locations that normally a !! shark can't fit into.
• Before completing the defeat 250 submarines quest, a ton of mini-subs (in different sizes) will spawn in Pacific Islands, giving a good amount of extra points.

Cons:

• Fast health drain
• Pretty labour-intensive to unlock if you unlock it with the old way.
• Cost 1,500 gems while taking at least 2 days to rescue baby sharks at 100/100(before v5.6.1 update)
• Parabolic, so her ability must be close to the enemy to hit better, not as stable as DMS laser.
• Spamming too many mines on the screen might cause a bit of lag.

Tips

• Since Gaia is extremely overpowered in Gold Rushes, wearing the pirate set with this shark is recommended.
• Continuously spam the ability.
• Try using three finger controls.
• During Extinction, getting the Health Drains Boost mutation will severely weaken Gaia due to her low health and making her lose a somewhat high amount of boost so it’s best to reroll this mutation if you land on it.
