also the other thread is bait so delete that one instead of this one mods

i hate it.

>>386906089
I won my first match with it.

what's the strategy for it?
Sprinkler and Inkstorm seem to restrict it to splatzone

>>386905743
New crutch king

This kills slow as fuck

Fun to watch squibs get scared when you send the umbrella after them though

>>386906626
I just won two tower matches at A+ so nah prolly not.
It does build special overly fast though so its good at covering turf.

Whoever named themselves Neo while holding this thing, fuck you, I know you're here somwehre

12 kills first game.

I'm already figuring out ways to trick people with this umbrella. Chim chiminney chim chimminey chim chim fuck you

>>386906753
this, shit's hilarous

In testing it's garbage.

In actual matches I'm getting one shotted by it regularly, and have no idea how.

A team of four brellas does not work, it gets hard countered by too much.

>>386906626

? Inkstorm is amazing in ranked

No new map?
But the Brella?
Eh, I guess that's okay.

>>386905743
Damn, this game is boring as fuck. What a waste of money.

This is absolutely a suport weapon. I'm murdering squibs but it takes so long to kill that i know it won't work 1v1. That said. It could be amazing on the tower and a flying top could provide a good start for a hard push through a chokepoint.

>>386907240

It's a two hit kill at short range so it's a slower less accurate Trislosher.

>>386906753
>This kills slow as fuck
its 90 damage solid if you land all of the pellets droplets? and has a fast firing rate, why is this slow to you?

also how come I'm the only one I see using the hero version?

>>386907547

I just realized it's a pellet spread; up close one shot does 90 damage but that's point blank. I understand how to use it better now

>>386907726

Also one flying umbrella hit + a close enough shot = dead squid

>>386907715
>also how come I'm the only one I see using the hero version?

Not a lot of people completed the story mode with it. Even less people actually completed or even played story mode.

With the sprinkler and low points for special value it builds charge like a bitch. If you get people in your inkstorm its easy pick'ns.

I'm having one of those experiences of, in my hands, this fucking umbrella couldn't kill a fly. I get into mirror fights with people, ambush them, and still get killed.

It feels like you're spritzing people with windex when you use it. But when it's used on you, it may as well be a shotgun.

Yes, but you need to somehow hit someone with that slow moving umbrella first. It's so painfully obvious that only new players will fall for it.

Would be nice if farming for chunks wasn't such a pain in the ass.

Guess I'll play another time. I hate being a sheep just because a new weapon comes out.

Why can't they release a new weapon that's actually good? Every update so far has been dogshit.

>>386909581

This.

>>386905743

Ahh, fuck ya! I'm gonna be a sword and shield inkling warrior. Thanks for reminding me, Op.

Is everyone in this thread just really bad?

I've been having a fucking blast with this weapon and was worried it was too OP. I've been getting 15+ kills for several arounds now, and not even playing particularly smart.

Frankly it feels braindead with it's "set it and forget it" special and subweapon.

I'm slowing figuring it out, I just need to aim better.

Dead. Like the weapon class.

>>386913595
Direct hits from Luna and standard Blaster, 3 Rollers one shot when running, 2 when flung horizontally 4 vertically, Chargers along with the ability to store in squid and popup and shoot. I tested this shit out the last time I played and to the rollers credit, it doesn't always 1 hit KO but it's most of the time.

>>386913858
I still relish the sounds of getting a triple kill by just turning around while being chased.

Isn't this class literally just what the Nozzlenose is? The explanation for it just says its semiautomatic. Shits not even a new class. Shits a class so unimportant there's not even a hero version of it.

>>386916834
It's a single-fire Nozzlenose.

>>386916962
Theres already two weapons in this class and everyone knows they're shit. What the hell are they doing?

>>386917095
Both Nozzlenose weapons are good, though.

>>386917123
I've honestly never seen somebody use them in game, and I actually mean never. One of them is just the other with a bigger neck even though it has different stats. Thats how little the devs care about it.

>>386913595
I think tri-slosher is still stupidly broken

>>386917272
They're high risk, high reward weapons. Shitters won't use them because they'll get rolled if they can't aim properly.

>>386913035

at least you're not octobrush scum

>>386917371
I would say I've never seen anybody use it effectively to counter your point, but I've honestly never seen anybody use it.

>>386917405
But Octobrush is way worse than both of those.

>>386917371
Of course people won't use them because anybody even remotely serious is in the fucking meta. Nobody is out to be a special snowflake when they want to win. They chose the easiest path without fail.

Can't believe how many bads are in Splat2, lenient ranking was a mistake. SSS tier when?

I feel like such a massive idiot, I scrubbed my first item but didn't realize you can just reroll if it has full slots.

Anyway what are some recommended abilities cause I have no idea what's good or bad. I just pick what looks cool

>>386919072
Depends on your weapon.

>>386919312
I prefer close range weapons like Dualies and N-Zap

>>386919072
I think its always a good idea to have an Ink Saver Main or two with a set of gear. I absolutely detest running out of ink mid battle

>>386919442
For Dualies, sub saver is nice. The N-Zap likes Run Speed. Special Charge, Ink Recovery, and Object Shredder are good on both weapons. Bomb Defense is universally good.

>>386919072
Honestly ink saver/recovery are the only ones I like having. Everything else is situational or doesn't offer as much benefit. I suppose Swim Speed is the only other one I would deem somewhat good. Run speed isn't so hot since they nerfed it.

>>386919072

I've always wanted to try ink resistance because it feels like a pixel of enemy ink gives my squid concrete shoes.

I also dicked around with sub weapon+, though I saw no noticeable improvement with splatterbomb damage or radius.

>>386919921
It just increases throw distance.

>>386905743
its shit

>>386905743
crutch weapon

>>386919921
It just improves sub damage by like 10. But it's probably better just to run Sub defense since it doesn't require the use of your ink for it to take effect.

>>386908365
>recent leaks
Wait what octolings thing, what what?

>>386919946

Neat, I like having better bomb range.

>>386920120

I'm pretty sure it never did more damage, I think it always capped at 180 point-blank and didn't improve the threshold range.

>>386917470
I use it, but the upcoming nozzlenose d-3 with the splash bomb will be infinitely better.
It's a 3 shot weapon that takes 4 projectiles to kill.
It's good, just requires a lot of intense aim and constant tap firing.

>>386919636
Alright thanks for the tips!

>>386919921

I dunno, when I tested ink resistance it felt like there wasn't a massive improvement. It's like you go from barely being able to slightly being able to move in enemy ink

>>386920437
Ink Resist is kinda useless. It doesn't work if you're shooting.

would be a good time to get the fresh bonuses on brella killers

I've played like 50 games with a friend in turf war (we're not actually added, we just joined through mutual friends) and have never been on the same team, not even once. Is it something in the matchmaking that won't put us on the same team or is this just ridiculous luck.

>>386921340
Splatoons matchmaking tries to have the matches being complete blowouts so it puts the shitters in one and the good players in the other team. It works really well in that regard.

The only issue is that when it works perfectly it produces closer matches because one can never fully predict a full retard team.

>>386920252
Shit, sorry i was thinking of splat bombs, as they do 20 damage normally but with the buff, gives it 30.

>>386921757
>>386921830
You're very mixed up. Burst Bombs do 60 damage, and that isn't increased by Sub Power Up. No ability in this game improves the damage of anything, neither Sub Power Up, nor Special Power Up. Burst, Splat, and Suction Bombs all exclusively see a throwing distance improvement from Sub Power Up.

how do i get more points? i mostly go for covering turf/going for kills and providing armor but i'm usually in dead last/3rd for points

i used to main the splattershot jr but i moved up to the nes lightgun

>>386925251
Be more proactive covering turf. Splatting enemies gives you some extra points since they explode in your ink color. Don't focus too much on covering walls since that doesn't count towards your points. Weapon choice also matters quite a bit. You can easily break 1000 with an Aerospray, but you'd be hard-pressed to break 700 with a charger.

>>386905743

As an S rank player who mains the nozzelnose, i can safely say that the Brella is now the worst gun in the game and requires the most skill to use.

Unless you are point blank its very inconsistent with its shots and damage can vary anywhere from 3-5 hits.
Umbrella shield is okay but would be better if it were just a shield that can absorb a certain amount of damage instead of a projectile that moves slowly and is very situational
REEEEE ALL YOU UMBRELLA FUCKS GET OUT OF MY S+ RANKED MATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Literally worse than a brush user on your team.

>>386925251
don't worry about covering blank areas unless there's an entire section that needs covered. Focus on large patches of enemy ink. If you're completely curb stomping the opponent you'll get shit points because there's nothing to cover. You shouldn't really care about points if you're killing people at the right times

>>386927459
whats good abilities for nozzlenose?

>>386927807
Fuck off and use a brush like everyone else.

There are no good abilities for nozzlenose casue they took out or nerfed anything that was good for the nozzlenose in splatoon 1.

In splatoon 1,'run speed up' actually affected how fast you could fire the nozzlenose and 2 attack ups basically made it a one burst kill which did 99.9 damage so one burst would kill more than half the time.

Splatton 1 nozzle nose was sonic speed and fucking shit up!

Now run speed no longer effects the strafe or firing speed and no attack ups mean you have to get the 4th shot which is a pain if you cant aim.
I use it simply because i liked it design and nothing more.

Its bad against multiple enemies unless you are pro at aiming and spreading ink requires you to actually work at it in the same manner a brush user does, so if you are feeling lazy then don't even bother casue you wouldnt be any help to your team anyway.

Use a tentake or aero just like the rest of the homos and enjoy you kills

>>386906753

Run speed up used to effect that bad boy too,but they got rid of that shit

>>386928187
Run Speed Up still affects speed while firing, but not nearly as much as it did before. It's still max 50% boost while not firing but around 25% when firing.

Nozzlenose series are burst fire. Squeezer is semi-automatic meaning it fires as fast as you can squeeze the trigger

Gonna try Tower Control for the first time. Any tips for a beginner?

>>386935984
If you have other guys on the tower, go round and flank the next bit.
Otherwise stick on the tower, hide in ink if you'e surrounded by your ink, shoot their ink if not
If your team still has the twoer, but the rest of your team is dead it's good to hang back so your team can jump back to you.
When they have the tower your team wants to surround them and attack on as many fronts as possible.

Also Have fun
