    This is probably better for an Advanced Special Guide, but I'm surprised you didn't cover the Crab Tank 2 shot. If you shoot at an enemy and hit them with ONE bullet, launching a bomb right after will do enough damage to kill them. Plus, you can actually go in -crab- ball form to instantly turn around.

    Tri strike is one of the most underrated specials right now. Design wise it’s much better than missiles because there’s actual counter play since you’re vulnerable while using. And being able to displace 3 places and a huge throw range make it very useful. Once another good weapon besides slosher gets it, it might be used more. But as a slosher player it is a fun special to use

    As a Splat Brella main, I completely agree. Tri Strike is perfect for my tank/support playstyle. The massive area of displacement helps the rest of my team to push in and get picks, and also helps me get into position to take hits with my shield when enemies inevitably attempt to counterattack.

    right now it feels like the ugly child of tenta and booyah so I wish it would get a buff / rework. honesty if they just made it so that you deploy them via the minimap like in splatoon 1, it would be so much better. even if they're not unlimited in range, having the ability to choose exactly where you want them instead of that janky throw would make them a much better special.

    As somebody who mains all the weapons with Wail, I’ve discovered that it feels like a completely different special depending on the weapon it as. For the front liners (Gal and Brush), it feels like a tool to help solo ambushes. It causes something to obstruct opponents’ vision and something to damage them For the Midline-picking weapons (Stringer and Bamboo), it feels like a tracking tool. It forces opponents to move, allowing you to know where they are moving to, or damage them so that the main can secure the kill more easily. Also a good defensive tool for the reason stated in the latter.

    This is the reason I picked up the Jr. for Tower Control after using the Splat Roller so long. Mostly cause I realised, since I'm often guarding the tower, I never use the Curling Bombs except to rush in, whereas Splat Bombs are _really_ useful for killing opponents who rush the tower recklessly, or picking off farther away enemies.

    No joke, it took me until Splatoon 3 to realize how Ink Jet was supposed to be used. There many weapons I was interested in trying out in 2, but would usually avoid them due to having Ink Jet. But then in 3 (with Mini Splatling being neutered), I decided to try out the Ballpoint Splatling, which has Ink Jet. It was after several matches using that weapon that I realized that Ink Jet was supposed to be used for off-angles and flanks. And even if you don’t get kills with it, being able to scare the enemy backline can be more than enough.

    But that's where the "role" part comes in. It's best to wait for an opportunity to present itself to use your special. Maybe you have zipcaster and the enemy charger is picking your team off, use it to surprise splat them and give your team a chance to push. Or maybe your team is being held at their spawn and need an ink vac to hold off fire so they can move. You're gonna find a use for these specials that suit your playstyle. It's not a cookie cutter kinda thing. I once played a match where someone used a booyah bomb to cut the enemy team's escape route off and we went in for the splat.

The starting time and length of invincibility frames make it not work too well as a panic button either. And tbh maybe it shouldn't be, but a buffing idea I had is being able to perform a squid roll to any direction after you have completed your special.

It's really nice.

    As funny as it sounds the only aggressive special here, I enjoy using is Boohyeah bomb. I more often get the most value out of displacement specials since I like the balance of having utility with aiding huge pushes which I think is the most satisfying way to use a special I also find that they can be just as useful one on one and are more likely to win a game. TLDR, I like my special to be a win condition not just a way to get a few splats.

    Whenever I'm using octobrush, I love to use the zipcaster as a displacement and a distraction. Getting close enough to the enemies so they engage with me and allowing an opening so my teammates can advance is so good, especially with jumping back to the backline if things don't go to plan.

    crab tips, one the crab is vulnerable from behind and above meaning missiles and anyone who sneaks behind will kill you easily, but you can turn into ball form to become invulnerable and rolling into opponents to scare them and get out of aggro. Also the tank main shoot has a range that can outmatch the squelcher and will be more effective against inkchargers if you attack from higher up so you don't get sniped from the front.

    6:55 Pro tip, put the wave breaker behind cover/a small wall or even just a little behind where you’re holding and as long as it’s on level terrain it’ll still work. The enemies can’t destroy it as easily and they won’t know it’s there until it’s too late. I’ve gotten a lot of splats with that tactic.

    personally i'd add the fourth category, area denial. it's similar to displacement except instead of removing enemies from a distance to get in, it helps to maintain areas that you're already in. this is stuff like bubbler, inkvac, and wavebreaker. however i also consider booyah bomb and ink storm to be in the displacement/area denial hybrid group. booyah bomb because of the fact that you can hold it in the air to stall them out from entering certain areas for awhile, and also because of the armor. ink storm because it moves slowly, so i didn't really know which one it fell into better, so i just made it both. before i just had just the 3 categories of displacement, aggressive, and area denial with tacticooler just being its own category. but i like the support category too. i just personally think it might not be specific enough. but this video made me rethink how i might categorize them later on. i think i'll do 4 instead and there'll just be some overlap.

    My ideal playstyle in pretty much any game with defined roles seems to be an aggressive-support hybrid that’s aggressive but not necessarily confrontational. If Splatoon had a ‘Healer’ or ‘lifesteal’ mechanic then I’d be on that along with Ninja Squid gear and Ink Mines. I’m all about the PvP mind-games and surprising my opponents when possible, mostly because it’s hilarious

    i was really hoping for a more in depth guide on all the specfic specials, for example, i use the sploosh so i have to use an ultra stamp. In the earlier levels when i was just starting it felt super op and was very easy to use and get lots of kills with, but as i leveled up this quickly became way less viable, and just resulted in me dying very quickly before even managing to get a kill, because people will just manage to dodge me and shoot me from the side or even front. leading me now to basically just throwing the stamp immediately as soon as i get it because im scared of charging in since itll usually just result in me dying immediately, especially because of how long it takes to deploy, and how slow the turning is (yes i know you can use squid form to turn a bit faster but its still extremely slow) and i only use it the 'way youre supposed to' anymore if im in an absolutely foolproof situation where theres at least only two or less enemies, or im willing so basically sacrifice myself for the sake of clearing the path for a rainmaker or power clam

    A good use for tacticooler is that you can just use it as a shield, since it completely blocks you and your enemies's ink, just watch out for bombs since those can still be slid under. But if you're in a bit of a pickle with a few enemies in front of you, drop a cooler and enjoy the buffs PLUS the enemies having a tougher time hitting you!

    I feel like Ink Jet is a bit of a hybrid of all three if only because without Ink Armor playing aggressively with it is far easier to punish. It acts as aggressive, obviously, but it's decent range and splash damage makes it better for providing covering fire for your team, displacing anchors and weakening midline fighters so your team can pick them off.

    The crab tank is placed wrong. It can also be effectively used as displacement. If you activate it at a range you can force the opponent farther back giving your teammates time to turf or get to you. I personally tend to do area denial with it because it is a safer and more useful ting for me to do. Also the glairing forehead is punished if you are to close. I've used it aggressively but I get more bang for my buck supporting the team with it instead.

    As for the Support Specials; I think Tacticooler is awesome, not just because I have a “Coca-Cola Espumante” running joke through my whole channel. I love using it when I play N’zap. I honestly didn’t know what the point was for Ink Vac. I even made a drawing post saying it was useless, since you’re fully vulnerable in between the sucking and throwing(and because most enemies know to stop shooting to weaken the explosion). But now knowing it’s for supporting a teammate that can also protect you from being splatted right before the shot, I understand it a bit more now. Feel free to ask me my thoughts on any others(or mains or subs, I’d love to talk in general). I’m not a competitive player but I still love the game and have been playing since Splatoon 1.
