After a massive losing streak struggling to stay in A rank, I switched over to the L3-Nozzlenose and starting owning bones with it. Dunno why it never clicked with me before but it rules. That's all.

I'm going to switch to the L-3 once the variant with the burst bomb comes out because I can't figure out curling bombs for the life of me

Lakbay posted:I'm going to switch to the L-3 once the variant with the burst bomb comes out because I can't figure out curling bombs for the life of me I love the curling bombs, but honestly I use them more like a utility tool than a weapon. The key thing is that they ink as they travel, so if you wind up with your escape route cut off a lot of times you can chuck a bomb and then swim along behind it for an easy escape through enemy ink. If you need to get somewhere fast, you can just hurl one out and squid along behind it, not needing to stop and spray every few seconds. It also functions pretty decently as an area denial tool, as it takes a while to blow up and can ink a surprising amount of area. It’s also worth noting that the bomb colliding with an enemy does about 25 damage, which isn’t a lot but can be useful for giving you a little bit of an extra edge - especially if it’s a really tight area and you can hit them multiple times with the bounces. If you really want to try splatting someone with them, you can also hold the throw button down to “cook” the bomb, giving it a shorter fuse. Even cooking it for a split second or so can really gently caress with people, as they’ll expect it to keep moving.

I always thought the nozzlenose was a pretty underrated weapon in splatoon 1. The version with burst bombs was pretty brutal if you stacked some damage ups while using it. Was my go-to turf war weapon (I didn't play a lot of ranked in splatoon 1). I enjoy the Splatoon 2 version as well. Although sometimes I keep whiffing that last hit and get splatted. Hope they'll add a version with burst bombs somewhere down the line. Lurkcopter fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Aug 16, 2017 |

Nephzinho posted:Tenta Missiles also stack on your team very, very well. If you have 2-3 users on your team who launch them in series you just bought yourself a ton of time. We should do a gimmick/ league team of 4 tenta missile users and just have them firing semi-permanently. I've been on the other side of a 4 tenta stack and it's miserable. This was in League too so they were ruthless with their timing

Futaba Anzu posted:what abilities do you usually run on it? Not sure exactly what I’ll want with it, yet. Right now I have Ink Recovery Up, Ink Saver (Sub), Bomb Defense Up, Ink Resistance Up, and 2 small Ink Saver (Main) - however that setup is mostly just cus what I have with decent abilities, they weren’t specifically chosen for the weapon. I think Ink Saver Sub is good with it cus I love curling bombs, but the Ink Recovery and maybe Ink Saver Main feel not so necessary. the gun’s ink consumption is surprisingly little, I don’t think I ever actually run out of ink on the drat thing. If I were to swap skills out I’d probably try swapping out Ink Recovery Up and maybe Bomb Defense Up for Run Speed Up. Also, of course, the generally useful abilities like Ninja Squid, Tenacity, Drop Roller, etc. I’ll probably play around with Thermal Ink too, as the gun has a decent range and it can sometimes be difficult to keep a bead on the enemy if you don’t splay them immediately. It’s easy to get your first hit on a dude, but your second (hopefully won’t need a third) is harder, and Thermal Ink can maybe help with that.

Yeah that's the hair trigger/as fast as you can push gun according to what Sheldon says in the datamine It's probably going to be nerfed into the ground at that point but lol for there being a tri-slosher variant with splat bombs and autobomb launcher special

In Training posted:from personal anecdotal experience it's the Luna Blaster Did they make the Luna Blaster slower in this game? I was so excited to use it because it was just an unstoppable force of death on Tower Control in S1, and it seems to shoot so slow now that I could barely get one shot off at an enemy before I got annihilated (the fact that the netcode often makes me explode as soon as an enemy looks at me notwithstanding). Am I just imagining things? It feels almost as slow as the regular Blaster. The Rapid Blaster on the other hand is a really good range weapon, and I hated that one in S1.

I got an outfit stacked with special saver and special up so everytime i get taken out i just have to fill in a tiny bit of spawn and can instantly fire on almost every opponent at once, which also helps distract as i super jump back in

Am I just imagining things? It feels almost as slow as the regular Blaster. I dunno but it definitely feels that way. Luna Blaster was my go-to “get poo poo done” weapon in the first game, but I can’t loving make it work now. Whenever I was sick of losing and needed a few wins to keep my rank, I’d swap over to the Luna Blaster. In Splatoon 2 I could probably count the number of wins I have with it on one hand, I dunno what they changed about it (i know that the ink usage was nerfed HARD) but it just doesn’t click anymore. It could also be due to Octobrush and Tri Slosher being much stronger in this game (or at the very least, much more prevalent), thus making the Luna Blaster less powerful because there are many other close-range threats compared to the first game.

I don't like or won't block players for being bad at the game, however if you get a score of 200 consistently in TURF War with 0-0 then you're just borderline AFK.

I prefer the heavy for salmon run. I need the extra range and damage to reliably one cycle Steelheads and I find it extremely useful for maximizing Goldies in gusher rounds. But realistically it's probably better in all other use cases.

The issue is the farther you go, it seems that the egg count requirement is greater, but matchmaking will still pair you with newer Profreshionals who still wait by the eggs forever protecting them, so even a decent random seems worse when you're making the goal harder to reach. Third Round Grillers or the Goldie Hide and Seek getting bumped up to a 17 required is scary if even one person is off. The Goldie one gets to impossible levels if you get unlucky - you need to find it fast and attack it near the basket.
