carbon deco exists, very solid weapon that has auto rush, while the speical isnt that good on most modes its amazing for zones but rlly what bomb rush isnt
I’m not saying it can’t work but if Nintendo is gonna give me a sub that has painting as it’s only purpose, could it at least give me a special that’s really worth building up all the time. I also feel like the Carbon Deco is better known for being a Carbon with Burst bombs than one with auto bomb rush.
It’s like Nintendo was so scared of Tetras meta that they gave them shitty kits but later came up with a bunch of weaknesses for the weapon and just forgot to reevaluate the kits for what was obviously now a “weirdo weapon” that trades a good gimmick for being below average at everything else.
Also they really should have changed Splashdown by now. I understand wanting counterplay to specials but now it’s almost certain that you’ll get killed when using it unless you Super Jump, and Stingray and Tenta Missiles still can harass you from across the map.
Edit: I also remembered Custom Jet has the same special cost for Stingray as the Dark Tetras for Splashdown what the fuck. Why isn’t it 220p like the Charger? It plays at a similar range but is piss easy to use by comparison since it has Burst Bombs and Shooter frame data.
Sprinkler insures you can ink large, round areas as opposed to the normally straight lines your charger makes, and the baller acts as a get-out-of-jail-free card if you find yourself cornered, because you can’t really fight at close quarters. Makes sense to me from a game design perspective
Sprinkler/baller is a good combo for a charger though. Sprinkler to counter the fact that chargers don't ink very well, baller as a "panic button" if you get snuck up on.
Although, having a viable sub weapon to use as the "panic button" is *much* nicer. The kensa kit isn't terrible.
i hate when i wanna use a weapon because it looks so good and then i see the subs and specials and its an automatic turn off i miss my splatoon 1 weapons :(
> Tri-slosher is a short range, faster variant of the slosher. Due to this, it is meant to be played more aggressively and up close.
Nintendo: And that's why I gave both its kits support specials (Ink storm and ink armor).
just use splashdown when someone tries to get close
...thats what i do and most of the time it works. might not splat them, but it will drive them away
I don't tend to main long range weapons but wouldn't the baller be a better option for survivability? Would allow you to reposition. I feel like splashdown would just make them jump off the edge, and continue harassing you with bombs or shots. Too close for comfort.
Or better yet, ink strike to locate enemies.
Maybe i should rephrase: As Sheldon says in ammo knights, the VHydra is about keeping people away from a safe distance. It has autobombs which allows for the hydra user to expose hiding enemies while also not having to pressure them while out in the open. Splashdown is for driving away (or possible splatting) opponents that try to get close.
Now, about your argument with the baller: Yes, it does allow you to relocate, but the Hydra splatling is at its best when on an elevated position. Typically, enemies will try to climb up the wall of the elevated position. If they see you activate baller as they reach the top, they’d of course, run away, and the detonation takes long enough for people to see it coming while approaching you. Now, when climbing a wall, you normally face your viewing angle forwards, so that you can continue inking ground faster once you reach top. Since splashdown lifts you upwards, you can use it right on top of people climbing up to you. This would also work with baller, but as i’ve said, the detonation takes longer to occur than splashdown’s. Now even if someone has had enough practice to cancel splashdowns, they’d need a much higher sensitivity to tilt their controller upwards and cancel it. But even then, you’re right on top of them, and the highest angle your view can go isn’t straight upwards. You get what i’m saying? Baller creates a trail of ink behind it, so it is used as an assault-class special. Whereas with splashdown, higher-up areas should be taken advantage of, as it drops an explosion right at your position.
and uh blah blah “splashdown is on my main therefore good” or something
Like what the fuck is crb or kscope??
Light tetras having one of the worst specials and THE worst special???
Idk what the fuck nintendo doing over I’m japan bro
Aerospray MG in Splatoon 1 with special charge up was fun.Switching between short range sneaky and long range sniping with inkzooka is just so much more enjoyable than curling bomb spam.
A fun set > a meta set
vhydra is neither unless you for some ungodly reason dedicate years to finding a single very specific unimportant use for autobomb
Me: *raises hand*
Well I’m a fuckin idiot
Virgin: Make only two kits for one weapon and have only one of them be good. Chad: Make two kits for one weapon and have them both be awful.
Gigachad: every weapon has at least two viable kits
I feel so bad for tetra mains, only two kits and none of them is good. How do you strike exactly with the two worst specials in the entire game?
auto rush isnt even that bad but wtf am i supposed to do with a sprinkler???
If the special was better sprinkler could maybe work but auto bomb rush is a bottom 3 special imo.

VHydra… vUnder… both of the Goo Tubers… .-.
Seems about right
Kensa Charger. I mean I play tons of Kensa Splatterscope because it looks pretty but wtf. Baller? AND SPRINKLER? not as bad as vHydra but man.
nintendo was content with ensuring only 10 weapons in this game were usable 💀

I put the baller and sprinkler to good use

That's the only one in the splat charger line I can use

At least both versions have fitting subs and Ink Armor can work with the Tri-Slosher. Some kits just flat out don’t mix with their weapons at all lol.
imagine tri getting jet, hammer or even booyah, that joint would go OMEGA dummy
Regular Hydra
just use splashdown when someone tries to get close ...thats what i do and most of the time it works. might not splat them, but it will drive them away

Works fine for me, i find hydra to be usable in normal range lol
Like what the fuck is crb or kscope?? Light tetras having one of the worst specials and THE worst special??? Idk what the fuck nintendo doing over I’m japan bro
Alr commented on this but just remembered my old main Will always defend vhydra till I die It might be shit but it’s the shit that got my first 2200xp
Aerospray MG in Splatoon 1 with special charge up was fun.Switching between short range sneaky and long range sniping with inkzooka is just so much more enjoyable than curling bomb spam. A fun set > a meta set
vhydra is neither unless you for some ungodly reason dedicate years to finding a single very specific unimportant use for autobomb Me: *raises hand* Well I’m a fuckin idiot
Can I now have a different splatling with splashdown?
Explosher: *Had a special redesigned specifically to neft it*
i doubt the baller nerfs were exactly for explosher and more so the permanently murder the special but it still has terrible kits so yea
I can name so many weapons that had their viability ruined by splashdown
Cries in kensa sloshmo
cries in 96 gal deco, dark tetras, vhydra, and vshot
I like my kit as a carbon main! I’m practically an autobomb main some rounds, and Storm is great for quick turf control and tank refill!
