Recon is great for figuring out where it is safe to super jump to but it's kind of a waste of time to super jump back to base just to get map icons for an Inkstrike.

If you're playing ranked mods it's usually very obvious where the best place to use it is even if you don't see the enemies themselves, and watching the ink change on the map is an okay indication in turf war.

Wait, what does damage up do for chargers? I play New Squiffer so this is important.
Lets you kill before having a full charge. The more damage ups you have, the earlier you can kill.

That's pretty much the only use case for it which is why I'm continuously puzzled by all the Japanese players who stack tons of it when they use a shooter.

There's no UAVs, but there's Echolocator, which is like a UAV but better.

Echolocators are how you make your team-mates love you, as well as make you an awesome kid and/or squid :allears:.

The Squiffer line charges so quickly that I'm not sure Damage Up would do much. You might get to lethal charge a fraction of a second earlier than usual. Definitely worth it for the base charger and especially the e-Liter though.

When you want to laugh cry as hard as you can, when you want to cry laugh all you can. When you see rain, just think of it as the world laughing with you, and laugh until you can't anymore.
Something else nice I noticed about Echolocator is that when you use it your ink tank max refills automatically, making it wonderful to use in a pinch.

This applies to every special actually. Its important to know this in turf war for optimal ink coverage.

I'm an A- I did two S ranked games today, I rode the tower more than anyone on my team and got the most kills in both games, people seemed really afraid of dying for some reason.

thats good to,know

When I use the slosher on the test dummies, there is always 2 shot kill but thats probably at least part of why it takes more in real games

The slosher doesn't have falloff. If you hit you do 70, if you lob it over them you do 40. It is pretty easy to misjudge your maximum range though.

Servers are going down tonight so they can update the game to 2.1. No word on what the changes are but maybe the dataminers will find more about those future maps.

All specials do this. It's crazy useful for echo locator and bubbler as they are instant so you can use them as a quick instant ink refill. Killer wail is nice for this too as it's used quickly and charges up so fast

I finally bought Splatoon yesterday. I got to level 11 today. I use the Inkbrush a lot. My fingers hurt. But I win more often than without it.

Splatoon is a good game. But I need to be better at it.

I use the Splattershot Jr. a lot, and sometimes I use the bubbler for a fight I know I can win just for the ink refill. I use 2 primary Ink Saver Mains and a primary Ink Saver Sub mod but it still can be necessary if I really want to gently caress someone up right now.

If nothing else, get over the middle apartments and ink enemy territory. FH is weird, and kind of strats-proof.
