At 2000+ its all splatter shot or shorter, brushes, and rollers. I've seen one heavy splatling. Everyone is close up brawls that go on for ages

Brushes are fine in turf war. The key to exceling with any weapon in turf war is to equip ink reduction abilities, as you need to be constantly painting. Something even "good" players seem to not understand about turf war is that inking priority should almost always be; 1.) Your spawn 2.) Middle of the map 3.) Enemy spawn The reason is due to how the game flows and what I will call 'safe' and 'unsafe' terrain. Turf war is super swingy, and it doesn't take the full 3 minutes for any team to paint the whole map. You can cover up the middle of the map and swing it in your favor in as little as 30 seconds, which is why so many people say only the end matters. Which is only partly true. Your spawn in turf war is very protected from the enemy. Its hard for them to ink it in a normal match, and on some maps its inaccessible under normal means. This means that your spawn is very likely to avoid being inked, so any part of you ink is usually safe terrain. You should always throughly paint whatever path you take from spawn to the center, and upon respawning patch up any areas missed by your team. If you don't do this, you miss out on points that was basically guaranteed to go to your team. You might get more points by going straight to the center but if the terrain you paint ends up exchanging hands (it will) then it doesn't contribute towards you winning. So at the start of the match you focus on painting the safe terrain and get as much as possible. When all that is under your control, you focus on the rest of the map. In the last minute of the map though, you want to grab as much unsafe terrain as possible. Painting large swathes of enemy terrain gets you tons of points, and when the match is almost over they have little time to take it back. At this point whoever takes control of the middle usually wins, and in a close match that safe terrain you grabbed/ignored at spawn can tip the scales in one sides' favor. tldr: INK YOUR drat SPAWN

As a Heavy Splatling enthusiast, I've found that it sucks for Turf and it isn't amazing at Splat Zones. Some weapons are just better at different scenarios and levels. When the object of the game is to cover as much ground with ink as possible (in the case of turf war/splatfests/Splat Zones), having a weapon that either fires far but in a straight line, or fires in a wide cone but very shallow, you're going to be at a disadvantage compared to weapons that fire in cones and at mid ranges (and are therefore not great at getting kills). Stick with chargers/buckets/gatling guns in ranked, but give yourself an automatic for splatfests, imo. Everyone likes picking on the guy for using an Aerospray, but hell, if you like winning... e: Internet Kraken posted:In the last minute of the map though, you want to grab as much unsafe terrain as possible. I like to call that "biting." If your team bites a chunk out of the enemy team's safe zones, then it doesn't matter if the center of the map is a hot zone.

Yeah Turf War a lot of the specialized weapons don't hold up just because of how simple the game mode is. I think that's a by product of how relaxed that mode is. Anything that has an objective though and you have people who are savants with pretty much every weapon and you get a lot more varied teams

The reason why the Splatling sucks in Turf War is that it's kind of a win-more weapon. If you can get on the bridge on The Reef or the tower in Art Academy or whatever, then congrats, you win, but if you CAN'T get there, then you have no way of pushing your way in.

This isn't really true in Ranked, but at the beginning of Turf War you should go left if you're on the left side of the spawn point and vice versa. Frustrating when everyone starts off in the same area. M.A.R.E. - Mayo Abuse Resistance Education Just say no to Mayo.

Internet Kraken posted:tldr: INK YOUR drat SPAWN I agree with this tldr but i think this is bad advice; rushing to the center of the map ASAP is very useful because having your ink there means the enemy will expend more effort trying to cross over and you can splat them while they try to paint over yours. Control over the middle of the map is in general valuable because that's where the most fighting is going to take place and you're always at an advantage in your own ink. Inking the spawn and areas around it should happen when people inevitably die. Same if enemies happen to slip past you (unless all the enemies slip past somehow), leave it to people already at spawn. Although this strategy only works if your entire team is competent and somewhat on board which uhh, doesn't quite work out every time.

All jokes aside, the red and cream color inks look really cool and I'll miss them. The lighting on some of the stages makes the red ink look cream to me from certain angles and I end up wasting time painting though.

Outranging people is super valuable when you don't have to use a charger to do it.

raditts posted:Where do these ability chunks come from? I haven't seen anything explaining that yet. You get them from paying Murch to scrub your gear, which takes the sub-abilities off of it and turns each one into a chunk. He charges $20000 for most items (but only $2000 for the Splatfest T-shirt). To add a specific ability to a piece of gear, it costs 10 chunks. The second slot costs 20 chunks, the third slot costs 30. So if you want to stack something specific, you need to amass 60 chunks (and there's 14 types of ability chunk you can get, so it will probably take a couple hundred scrubs to get 60 of any one particular ability).

There's zero reason to rush the center at the start. Even if you take hold of it first, in 90% of matches you aren't going to hold it for the whole match. Also most of the maps are large enough that you can't hold the entire center anyways. The spawn has to be inked eventually, and the start of the match is simply the smartest time to do it. The longer the match goes on the more valuable taking unsafe terrain becomes. You don't want to end up having to ink or ignore parts of spawn in the last minute because nobody bothered to do it.

You don't want to ink your spawn at the start because it's safe turf that you can use to build your super meter later on in the match

I'm starting to realize that penalties for players constantly DCing was a mistake. It's becomming a punishment more for players who are stuck with lovely internet access. Been playing for an how...I maybe played three full games.
