#splatoon tips

Salmon runs I feel I'm a little better at because I'm not going against other players neccesarily but rather an npc that won't care whether i suck at the game or not. Plus salmon run makes you use different weapons and get used to them even if you dislike the weapon greatly (looking at the bows)

Don't think I'd do well in ranked at all really, don't feel I'm quite there yet but maybe someday? Also what gear sets should I try? I like being able to run and swim fast, maybe having the ghost ability on my gear is nice too. Having a few main ink saver chips is pretty handy too I think, though this is just my personal playstyle.

Blaster: you can evaporate crowds of lesser salmonids very quickly, but be careful and back up if something gets too close!! If you’re in a sticky situation, don’t forget you have a bomb and or your special. Triumvirate tip: You can kill bosses pretty quickly too, so try focusing on gathering golden eggs to lob at the big three!

Stringer: You can turf a lot (use this for flipper floppers!) and get rid of crowds quickly, if you get close to a salmon and have all your shots hit them, you WILL do 999.9 damage! Use this to your advantage, also you can kill stingers really quick too!

Triumvirate tip: get close to the kings and use all your arrows on them, personally recommend doing it on joe because for half of the round it’ll be hunkered underground where you cant damage it.

Explosher: You have a lot of range! Use it to your advantage! You can also pierce armor on drizzlers, steelheads, and even pierce the forcefield on a slammin lid.

Triumvirate tip: Pick a god and pray.

Splatana: You may have low range, but when you’re close, you do BIG damage! Even bigger when you charge up the vertical slash, but that takes a while, so make sure the coast is clear before going in to pierce the armor of an annoying steelhead or drizzler that your teammates may have trouble getting rid of.

Triumvirate tip: Use your vertical slash’s big damage to your advantage!!!!! Please!!

Dualies: Your dodge rolls explode, and you have alot of them, if you ever find yourself overwhelmed , just hit the bricks! It’ll get you out of there in a snap, and damage some salmons too, your range is short but gets pretty long after doing a roll!

Triumvirate tip: Try killing boss salmons and grabbing golden eggs to throw at the kings, using your speed to your advantage to get around!

Charger: Squiffer main? I hardly know er! Even in the air, your charge is very fast! You can kill steelheads like any other charger, but dont forget to do two shots instead of one! You can also get through big lines of salmons real quick, but watch your ink and dont get too trigger happy Triumvirate tip: Try and focus on the kings, you have range for a reason!! Get the horroboros’ bombs to explode straight in its face!!!

Roller: You can go real fast, but you know how to use that? You can rush across the map and steamroll anything in your way to get to your goal: a boss! The roller can absolutely decimate alot of bosses by rolling. be careful with your vertical flick, it takes a while to charge up, but is like a kill everything in front of you button, basically. You can kill chinooks (the mothership guys) without using your vertical flick, just wait till they get close to the ground and jump while rolling! Triumvirate tip: go wild man idk

-The chips do synergize so try to have mostly the same colors. But you can get away with some variety.

-lucky bomb and lucky disc chips are OP lol

-Booyah Bomb is probably the best special for Side Order but I haven’t tried them all so idk. But it’s really damn good.

-Splat Charger is really good too if you are moderately familiar with it. Even if you aren’t it’s never too late to try. Story modes make great weapon training.

Most Salmon Run bosses can be lured closer to the basket! Scrappers, Steel Eels, Maws, and others will follow you around. Bosses like Fishsticks and Drizzler will not actually land on the ground until they are within a certain proximity to a player.

This is SO important on maps like Marooner's Bay where grates and map layout will get in the way of efficient egg-collecting!

1. An important note to keep in mind is the awful range on this thing, keep out of it's range and you're good as gold.

2. A good aerospray player will try to stealth or flank the hell out of you. So keep an eye open for them coming from behind you. Or on top of a nearby wall. Or anywhere you're not looking.

3. A bad aerospray user will charge you head on. Just shoot the moron.

4. If there is an aerospray on the opposite team you can see them moving on the map because they will paint their own flank route ahead of them. This is less recommended to use as a strategy but still viable, especially if you are able to actually speak with your team.

Tierlist on where i believe splatoon 3 weapon mains should be located during battle/turf war because i am so autistic
