My disdain for you all knows no bounds.


I decided to try out a new build to see how good throwing 2 Splat Bombs at once are. Turns out that there's a very good reason why you don't have the ability to throw 2 bombs at once from the get go. It basically just really gives you a massive boost as to what you can do on the battlefield. It's honestly kind of a major game changer since most other players are stuck throwing one of their subs out before having to refill their ink. With good enough aim, you can pretty much trap someone between your bombs, forcing them to die.

Works with all the bomb subs too. You just need 35 points of Ink Saver sub to pull it off. (47 points if you want to throw 2 Auto-Bombs.)

Unless *everyone* is reporting it happening. There have been games that screwed up and banned the entire playerbase.

When you use a super sea snail to reroll do you keep those chunks that went away as ability chunks? or are they just gone?

You keep the chunks.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I think pretty much anything that involves removing/changing an ability from gear has you keep the chunks.

Should be noted that buying a new version of a gear you already have from splatnet will not give you chunks from the old one.

I was following Inkipedia and that said you only needed 1 main and 5 subs, they were wrong (though pretty close since my current build only needs a half second to throw the 2nd splat bomb)

I just checked the ink saver sub page again and they updated it from 1 main 5 subs to 2 main 5 subs

Idk if it was the brella or the charger (it was the charger) but salmon run today suuuucked

Indeed, is that a non-ideal charger type or something? I'm newish and I read I could shoot through the drizzler umbrella on a full charge but that didn't seem to be working. I did notice how much I like the range on the splattershot pro, however.

Chargers do not do one hit kills on several boss types, including Drizzlers.

They spawned like that after I lost connection for a bit.

Also: Ranked matchmaking bad. People keep running to the enemy spawn and standing there for most of the match, despite being in A+.

only the stingray can pierce drizzler armor, the only time its vulnerable to regular weapons is when its fired a missile or flying

a fully charged e-liter can, with one shot, kill steel eels, scrappers and steel heads, knock out most of a drizzlers hp and stun a griller; it's the hardest hitting weapon in the game, but charges slowly, so pick and choose your targets. chargers in general are also top tier when a row of salmonid are approaching you (like those narrow stretches of land during lowtide) because you can pierce and wipe out the entire lot, and if one of your downed buddies are behind them, it will revive them too. theyre not so great with scattered mobs, small fry or stingers but then again that was the splattershot jr's or brella's job

1) wipe out enemy team
2) pave the path to the goal for whoever picked up the rainmaker
3) look back to see that rainmaker carrier either stayed in the same spot or moved backwards toward your own goal
4) curse loudly

While you're building that charge, it's almost certain that at least one or two other guys in your Crew are just diving into the same row and murdering everything down with Rollers/Blasters/Shooters.

Singray in Rainmaker can both ink the side of the goal platform and simultaneously make a death trail for the rainmaker carrier to follow to the goal.

Whether your team capitalizes on that at all.... eeeh

I've found Rainmaker to be way easier than Tower Control but that's probably just because I'm aggressive and impatient.

I prefer Tower Control myself, just because you can actually defend yourself while on it. I've had more than a few Rainmaker rounds where half your team will just wander off to the far side of the map doing god-knows-what instead of covering the poor guy holding the Rainmaker.

My style is impetuous,
My defenses are impregnable
My arms are tired
Splat zones is the one true mode, Rainmaker has the potential to be the most fun, and at high levels tower control is probably the most balanced.
The difference between those statements is that the rainmaker one is subjective, and if you don't enjoy that mode it can be miserable experience with randos.
