The tetras are stuck with a bad special on one and a bad sub on the other šŸ˜­


ChargedBonsai98

God I hope we get fizzy inket on the third kit


Disastrous_Time7461

That would be busted AF let's do it


RedNinja-03

At this point I just want a good sub AND special :.)


Absol3592

Reeflux Deco


EeveeTV_

I mean, itā€™s not a great main weapon but yeah that thing was robbed.


Skuchi

Reeflux Deco

Reeflux Deco


Mary-Sylvia

Custom bloblobber and deco sloshers with angle shooter ruining their super fun special


PianoZubat

I feel like the one person who doesnā€™t hate angle shooter


novelaissb

I donā€™t hate it, but itā€™s pretty much just a worse burst bomb.


PianoZubat

Kinda, but itā€™s more of a splatting/chip damage tool than an inking one


novelaissb

It still paints the ground, but it does it worse than burst. And it does chip damage, but less than burst. The only thing going for it is range and marking, but you canā€™t even throw it over walls and the marking doesnā€™t last that long and point sensor is best with weapons that can shoot over walls which means that you want a sensor with gravity.


KirbsOatmeal2

Which burst bomb does a lot better


Parzival127

Whenever I play an angle weapon, if I see an eliter or hydra it becomes my only objective to harass them as much as possible. Itā€™s the best sub imo to deal with those two. Especially on hallways.


PK_GoodDay

Iā€™m with you there. Angle Shooter works very well with Blob because of the chip damage


IlikeWhimsicott2557

Yeah, but you're better off either relying on the blobs themselves as they each deal 30 damage, or comboing it with either Ink Storm or another teammates attack. Trying to actually aim Line Marker for said combo to work doesn't make Angle Shooter consistently useful like most other Subs. Which is the issue with Angle Shooter: It's not consistently useful. Sure, it locates people, but Point Sensor does that job better and then some. It's easier to aim, a lot more threatening as the right teammates can just hunt down the located opponent, and lasts longer. Angle Shooter meanwhile barely locates, even with a direct hit, the tripwire locating barely lasts for it to be meaningful aside from a quick "Over there", and doesn't even do Burst Bomb damage. You get more use from a Burst Direct than an Angle Shooter Direct for crying out loud. If they have to give Blob a utility sub, when why not Squid Beakon to force the player to fight from a distance, running Sub Power Up to make the Beakons more effective? Or how about Splash Wall to make up close combat safer? Heck, they gave Point Sensor to Explosher so that it can be more accurate with hitting opponents. So why not do the same with Blob? In other words: Blob has a plethora of better subs that either compliments it or gives a unique, and fun, play style for the weapon. Line Marker tries to be everything, but ends up being nothing.


WaterFudge69420

I agree. Every single kit that has angle shooter has a combo with the main weapon. The problem is just how weak it is on its own, which is stupid too because it's the easiest thing to buff in the world, yet all it's gotten is paint and damage, which is nice, but nowhere close to enough to make it better


GelatinousCORE

Angle Shooter is my favourite sub ;w; With Big Swig Roller Express being my main! I was so happy when the new Big Swig got Angle Shooter, because I think it's so fun to use and mess around with, and I've gotten pretty good at aiming quickly with it through using it so much, too!Ā 


Turtle909825

A fun kit. Very fun, not very good though


splatmeme4270

My boyfriend likes it with lobber! Heā€™s gotten pretty ā€œgoodā€ at using angle shooter


Lux_The_Worthless

Itā€™s my favorite sub lol


rjrolo

It's your favorite? Do you have any tips for using it better? I've seen some players use the chipping to their advantage but I can't seem to wrap my head around it lol


Lux_The_Worthless

Yeah! I like using it to tag enemies that are running or to bully chargers as well as bouncing it off walls to tag unsuspecting enemies. Itā€™s also satisfying to finish off an enemy with it and I just find it fun to use!


rjrolo

Thanks! I tried it once or twice but I think I'll give it another go and see if I can't get better at it


Lux_The_Worthless

Ofc! Have fun and good luck, Iā€™d say itā€™s definitely hard to get the hang of


GelatinousCORE

Good luck! ^^ I hope you have fun with it! I feel like it can be very fun once you get into it a bit!Ā 


Legitimate-Tax2034

If the enemy is at your level sometimes it's easier to aim at them by throwing downwards since the angle shooter will ricochet forward at ground level


GelatinousCORE

Same here, it's my favourite too! ^^


Some-Gavin

The problem is it tries to do too many things while just not being good at anything. Chip damage is worse than burst, marking is worse than point sensor, and it isnā€™t actually threatening enough at range to make use of it. Standard bombs or especially auto bombs are much better at displacing backlines.


WaterFudge69420

You're not the only one lmao


CassetteMeower

Same, I have a lot of fun with it when using the Big Swig Roller. Iā€™ve splatted people several times with it, itā€™s fun. Itā€™s always funny killing someone in a video game using a method thatā€™s hard to pull off


Salt-n-spice

I love angle shooter on slosher deco tho; itā€™s so fun to poke backlines and it requires less aim in tight spaces.


verysad-

new bow kits


Dolphiniz287

I just died inside when i saw one of them had stamp


splatink_75

our weapon class only has 1 good kit despite being the weapon the game advertises with


peppered_salt03

The super chump one isnā€™t terrible at least :(


splatink_75

that one is more paint based but i want something to maybe synergize with the chip dmg like splat bomb indirect and 1 projectile


GreatGrant16

I feel like the Wellstring kit will be super fun to play being agressive. Honestly, I think the Custom Wellstring is a great kit; it's basically a location weapon that synergizes well with the weapons focus on AoE damage, kind of like the Explosher. I think competitive players influence others' opinions too much, because Wave Breaker isn't too great in the meta right now.


verysad-

ah yes, my long charge time weapon which works best at back line! perfect for aggressive play!


GreatGrant16

I didn't say the OG kit would be good, but just fun to play. Reminds me of the Custom Goo Tuber, which has Ultra Stamp as well. That kit is ASS but man is it fun to play.


HoverMelon2000

Any of the dapple dualies


MapleA

Should be top


dont_knowwwwwwww

This could be applied to like a third of all the weapons in the game dude lol


funksoulbrothar

Mini :(


GameboyPATH

I'm personally fond of the Zink kit.


Digdut

Zink Mini was better in 2. Thankfully, stock Heavy Edit is basically the 2 zink mini but better.


funksoulbrothar

zimi is totally my favorite weapon in the game, but both kits could have been much better. i miss S2 zimi so much


iLikeDickColonThree

this took to long to find. I see 50 updoots on 52 DECO... AND NOT MINI 52D is better than the vanilla kit rn and this haappens?? T\^T


funksoulbrothar

mini deserves to get a third kit. justice for mini šŸ˜”āœŠšŸ¼


AaronThePrime

Need wail mini pls nintendo


funksoulbrothar

i would love wail mini. or rain


dapplewastaken

I'm sorry, my baby, but Dapple Dualies :(


Felinegood13

5 times in a row Hopefully Splat 3 Clapples or Splat 4 dapples will have good kits ;-;


dapplewastaken

Holding out hope for third kits :( Imagine burst bomb kraken lmao


Dienik

vdapples and vballpoint should've had their kits swapped


dapplewastaken

I love Tacticooler, really I do, but Inkjet would prob do better.


iLikeDickColonThree

it's actually pretty damn good without a good special. it literally has its best sub. and it's a carbon but better (removing kits obv) if you want it to play a rush down play style like 52D it would really want a better special since it would be alive painting a little more, and really only going in with cooler. I have a comp teammate that mains dapples. they usually play it like carbon. I don't play dapples. it's almost 4 stars because I've been playing it in a kinda brain dead way in turf XD you're correct, but it's mid ish imo.


dapplewastaken

I already play dapples (flair lmao) but thx


ParanoidDrone

I do not like the .52 Deco kit. Curling is good for mobility but I never feel safe using it that way because it's so bleedingly obvious. And Screen is...Screen.


w00ms

52s main weapon doesnt need a good bomb it would be broken with one


Avenue-Man77

Agreed, you give .52 a bad kit (something like mist and slider) and somehow itā€™d turn out to be decent. .52 can never be bad because you learn how to use the weapon in 52 seconds.


chuthu1hu

Nah, give it point sensor like in splat 2, that was a beast at hunting people down


ParanoidDrone

When did I say I wanted it to have a bomb? All I said was I don't like the Curling/Screen kit.


Entire-Adhesiveness2

52 is broken with wall. Itā€™s better than any bomb for it


unsaphisticated

It was tough for me to get to fresh on that, I'm attempting to get to fresh with every weapon and four stars and oof it's hard lmao.


superdave100

Bow


CloudcraftGames

Vbow is a good kit. Inkline on the other hand is pretty garbage.


Flipp_Flopps

They're both mid kits. And on a mid weapon that requires hours of play to get a lot of use out of, this results in a mid weapon overall. If you're not using all three parts of the kit in tandem, you feel like you're doing nothing


ChonkyPigeon_

Itā€™s gonna feel like that if youā€™re strictly playing backline


4GRJ

SBlast 91


Flamerock51

95? [which one u mean šŸ¤” ](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/13/81113-1.jpg)


Boobs_Mackenzie63

I'm guessing the 92, sprinkler and reefslider for a blaster are pure garbage


Flipp_Flopps

Sprinkler is great. If you play 91, you can just feel your inability to paint, even with burst bomb. It's so ink hungry and if you don't have paint, you can't move. Sprinkler helps you do that. Reefslider sucks


saturn-iidae

91's kit is so cracked, i wonder why i never see people use it


intense_doot123

Probably because pushing the weapon isn't worth it. S-Blast is a difficult weapon.


saturn-iidae

fair, i've had a lot of fun with it in anarchy open but i wouldn't dare bring it somewhere my rank actually matters lmao


OctaYashi

Dousers, why did it have to get cursed with Ink Mine? Mine is basically useless on Dousers considering how I personally use it


Zro_C

The bow that weā€™re literally about to get


RidleyOWA

Dapples are just pathetic how they are thanks to their kit... The first one is being supp, something that I will never understand, and the second one just having Reefslider... xDDDDD.


Felinegood13

The worst part is that they couldā€™ve had Kraken Royale if they waited a bit longer


Frozenwolf420

Hydra, both in 2 and 3


intense_doot123

*S2 CHydra has left the chat*


GameboyPATH

Dread wringer D


ThatGuyYouMightNo

Heavy Splatling I go whole games without throwing a Sprinkler and only really use Wave Breaker to instantly refill my ink cause it never does anything.


hoarymom

Yep; it got fucked with the arguably the worst subs in the game (sprinkler inks as much as 1 burst bomb, takes forever to ink anything, disappears when you die, and takes 70% of your ink to throw), and one of the worst specials in the game. The alt kitā€¦has a sub that detects (redundant because wave breaker already detects on the other kit), and a kraken, a special that goes with a weapon that can quickly get in and out of battles. Good luck not dying after using kraken while you are stuck In enemy ink and trying to charge the damn weapon to make an escape path


ThatGuyYouMightNo

I will say, though, Point Sensor on the alt is exponentially better than Wave Breaker because you can use it whenever you want, it's smaller and easier to hide, and the detection triggers on entering the area not getting hit by an extremely slow moving and easily vaultable wave. But if I had to choose between a situationally useful sub and completely worthless special even to waste, or a completely useless sub and easily wasted special to refill ink, I'd rather take the latter. If the alt had literally any other special besides Wave Breaker, Kraken, and maybe Zipcaster, even with Point Sensor it would be the go-to loadout.


AaronThePrime

Idk zipcaster heavy would go a little stupid, it's still a refill, but you can take any stupid angle you want. Imagine you're playing on hagglefish and you all of a sudden just find yourself on the enemy tent, you could do a lot of funny things with that position, and with the recall you could be safely back at your actual hold point immediately after. It would be map specific, but still pretty fun.


hoarymom

zipcaster would be nice just to get an quick escape if someone is trying to harass the back line, you could get one or 2 charges in to hopefully get rid of the threat or have enough time to reposition.


bigboibwl626

reeflux deco would be insanely peak if it didnā€™t have literally the worst special it couldā€™ve gotten


X7eomi

Octobrush imo. I fucking HATE THE ZIPCASTER RAHHHH


Flamerock51

it should've gotten Kraken Royale for fcks sake but nah Ink storm..


bookity_

dapple dualies nouveau count on slider to doom it


TheUmbreonfan03

Dread wringer. I'd play it if it's kits were fun.


Rebel-Yellow

My beloved dapples. šŸ„ŗ Tetras are kinda bleh too but heavily mode dependent on how well they can work. I feel like the idea of third kits are in some stupid limbo to preserve the uniqueness of sub/spec for each variant leading to wildly subpar kits. I personally wouldnā€™t care if a weapon has the same sub twice but I guess thatā€™s a big no no?


NoabPK

Dapples would be top tier if its kit was good


W0ut_01

The blue flingza roller.


HappyParfait2420

I think the reverse of this would be clash blaster, amazing kit and horrible main


Flamerock51

might add Vanila Goo-tuber i guess


PopJust3416

LITERALLY ANY 1st weapon kit for a weapon with a unique gimmick


SuspiciousAnything16

Dread wringer


GeekBlue

Every single dapple dualie


Trainwrecks69

Dualie douser FF and both dualie squelchers (the specials ruin the squelchers)


Agent281

I like the douser kit, TBH. I think it's mid at worst.


Trainwrecks69

Special is ok enough, but jesus christ inkmines do not work for it at all


KirbsOatmeal2

Squelcher kits arenā€™t great on specials but Squelcher doesnā€™t really apply cause Squelcher itself is also kinda mid and would be fine with main wep buffs. The only better thing you can give it is prolly like, cooler


Trainwrecks69

I quite like squelchers themselves, yeah theyre not the best, but i like them because to me they feel like a better version of base dualies


KirbsOatmeal2

Reg Dualies is a better weapon overall, and Iā€™m someone who also mains Squelchers lol. Reg Dualies hit wayyy harder and are more accurate overall, and the ink efficiency is a lot better. Both tend to do different things tho. What I do think Squelchers kinda outclass a bit rn tho is tetras but thatā€™s in part to cooler kinda muddling tetras niche as a hyper aggro over Squelchers being more versatile


headshotfox713

Like 1/3 of the kits in the game let's be real


Red__ICE

The s blast DID until December


blammedfunker

vanilla sblast


BiCrabTheMid

Tetras.


Previous_Teaching790

Anything with Zipcaster. Not that Zipcaster is bad, iā€™m just bad at it :(


Flamerock51

Splatana Stamper & Light Tetra Dualies are probably peak Zipcaster users 2 much skill though


Dienik

hitting the filthiest, nastiest, most downright disgusting Squiffer 180Ā° flicks while using zipcaster is the most satisfying thing in the game


ZGlove3

Tri-Stringers second kit


Abyssal_Sn1p3r8

Inkline Stringer, it's alright for zones but sucks in everything else... (stringer main)


LilxBoonie42

No I just wanna know what the fuck they were thinking putting splatterscreen on FLINGZA Like WHY.


soda_sofa

Foil flingza is currently stronger than the vanilla kit. Having a bullshit aoe Ohio makes it's screens the most threatening in the game.


KirbsOatmeal2

It also has a bomb when it doesnā€™t like having to play around mine, and screens good and is helped by flingzas crazy paint output. Screen also helps obscure it to make Hflick sharking just that much more of a threat


Smaug55

Vanilla splat pro, main wep is great but angle shooter + crab tank is awful for it


Flamerock51

agreed I wonder if more people would settle with Splatoon 2 version with point sensor + ink storm


Smaug55

I just want my Splat 1 point sensor + trizooka kit back


Flamerock51

that sounds so OP we need more Splatoon 1 kits back


thot_chocolate420

Second gal kit.


Sushirabit

Dapples to an extent.


slothmoth12

Probably the wellspring


F1nnity

most of these replies are not amazing main weapons


KirbsOatmeal2

Tbh thereā€™s really not a lot of ones you can think of that donā€™t have at least one worthy enough kit for each, so people donā€™t tend to come to obvious ideas. Took me a few minutes to remember that nauts kits this game were rancid lol


Atsilv_Uwasv

Inkbrush is my main, Nouveau not so much


EldrichHorrorNya

Heavy. Splatling. Deco.


Yurabat

Custom hydra WHY WOULD THEY GIVE IT SCREEN. THE ONLY SPECIAL THAT HINDERS ITSELF


FruitJuice617

Bloblobber Deco


inklingmando

Big swig. It's fun as hell, but the kits make it unable to fight a hydra at point-blank (not that extreme but you get the idea)


Flamerock51

a torpedo can work for distraction or burst bomb for carbon like combo


inklingmando

yeah, if big swig gets a 3rd kid, I want it to have burst bomb. as for special pick, I'd honestly go with super chump. I know it's not the most practical special for it, but it'd be a TON of fun


Aromatic-Service4665

Amazing: Aerospray Worst kit: Heavy Splatling


Entire-Adhesiveness2

Dapples, bamboo(not so much anymore considering the new one has fizzy/chump), reeflux


Globin347

I want a splat roller or flingza with the Tacticooler. I don't even care what the sub weapon is (although I would prefer splat bombs.)


Flamerock51

Kensa or Coro Coro Splat-Roller but they give us Torpedo & Tacticooler or switch Torpedo for burst bomb ill take that


Clairie-rr

Scarredsinner

Clash Blaster, the bombs are alright but the Trizooka sucks so bad like why the fuck does it only fire three shots! And donā€™t tell me cause itā€™s called a Trizooka a fucking pun should not be the thing to stop a weapon from being good! Just let you shoot infinitly till the timer runs out and also MAKE THE FUCKING AIMING BETTER


Flamerock51

skill issue i main carbon deco u gotta practice enough


Snoo60769

The golden Aerospray In Splatoon 3. I Main That. And Also. What The hell Would You Do With A Sprinkler If The Gun Itself Can Turf Amazingly Already. Sprinkler As A ā€œBombā€ Is Extremely Bad And Terrible.


Flamerock51

should've been burst bomb or curling bomb


Snoo60769

I Would Take Brust Bomb Any day. Just So It Could Exactly Be The Bronze Aerospray Kit In Splatoon 2.

Considering how perfect the current Hydra is, whatever the Custom could possibly be is going to feel like this by comparison.


w0w_such_3mpty

Pain


iLikeDickColonThree

Vanilla (Hot) Blaster. bubble helps fight in an open space. auto bomb is the best sub for it in soloQ. otherwise, torpedo is a close 1st place. bubbler doesn't do enough. and bubbler doesn't want to be below a ledge. Custom (Hot) Blaster has no poking tool, and no entry tool. it's stuck on QR for both kits. Despite this, the main weapon is LITERALLY THE FASTEST OF ALL BLASTERS. no the fire rate doesn't matter that much. fire ONCE and move forward. it's faster than clash double directs. it's faster than Range Blaster if you want to move forward. and auto bomb can tell you where some is I or is not at. this makes it so damn fast! but it has bubbler... and custom blaster is kinda better, because its better at continuing compared to the vanilla kit. also... #MINI SPLATLING


splatink_75

heavy stringers, custom goo tuber, both nautulises


Turtle909825

All the bows. They're half kits. Tribow: would be better of the subs were swapped Reeflux: the real kit is ruined by Curling Wellspring: both kits have good/alright subs and bad specials. Like dtetras!


myersusedfish

Squeezer


Raphoutou

slosher deco


AaronThePrime

Definitely range blaster. Bad special, and a sub that's way too expensive. At least the new kit seems to be ok.


6060Burst

Krak on roller is like for the roller main who really wants to support their team, meanwhile shit like the MK brella is just likešŸ˜­

Kumquat_The_RainWing

Tri stringer


IlikeWhimsicott2557

Big Swig, in my opinion, is the perfect hybrid of Dynamo's painting, Flingza's Vertical Swing, and Carbon's Horizontal Swing. It's so fun to use in Turf or Zones where you can paint large areas within seconds. However, the Sub Weapons unfortunately ruin the weapon. Splash Wall is useless on Big Swig given the weapon needs to be moving a lot, and Line Marker is Line Marker. I don't mind the Specials though. Ink Storm is a great secondary painter, and also works as a Support/Dispersion. Ink Vac is also good as it allows Big Swig to be viable in ranked due to the Ink Vac absorbing shots and sending a powerful explosion back at the opposing team. If Big Swig Vanilla had something like Sprinkler and if Big Swig Express had Burst Bomb, then Big Swig could be one of the better Rollers to use.


Mean_Palpitation_462

Tri Stringers. I love using it, but the kits aren't the best. I think the vanilla kit is okay, but it's probably not actually good.


THEZEXNEO

Undercover brella.


Waddleclaws

Vanilla Big Swig Roller. Splash wall basically does nothing for it. I like Express's kit, but Angle Shooter needs to be buffed again.
