Hello spletfriends, I recently picked up a Switch and this game. It’s super fun but also I’m terrible so if there are any easy beginner tips, I’m all ears. Especially for the Heavy Splatling; it’s the only gatling I have unlocked, but it seems like a bunch of fun. I just can’t turf worth a drat with it, and the special is bizarre.

Also, why are my points always so low when I use a roller? I can regularly score 900-1000 points before win bonus with something like the Aerospray, but with a roller I cap out at around 600 or so. I thought they were really good at covering the floor?

The same basic strategy for turf war works for all weapons imo: keep moving and always be inking. There’s no need to hole up in a corner for the whole three minutes, get out and see the world. And there’s no need to methodically paint every square millimeter in one part of the level either; spray around a bit then keep moving, you can come back later to finish the job. Basically if you’re neither inking nor refilling your ink you’re wasting time.

And don’t die. You don’t ink much when you’re dead. Back away from a fight unless you’re sure you’ll win. And even then, feel free to back away. It is not hard to top the scoreboard with 0 kills. You don’t have to play pacifist but it’s viable.

The above works for Aerosprays, rollers, and the heavy splatling. For the splatling, change up a bit then paint all around you. Maybe once more if you’ve got a good vantage point. Then move on.

I don't play splatling so I probably shouldn't be giving advice on it, but being the mobile guy with one seems like a bad idea.

Whenever one is kicking my rear end they're usually camping one safe area like a charger user. It's the mobile ones that I can actually kill. Like I don't think there's a worse gun for moving and painting than the splatlings.

I've had much more success playing like a camping charger than trying to get into it with the splatling for sure. The wind up time is just too long to be in the middle of things. Thankfully you shouldn't need to be :v:

I've observed that posts are a lot more likely to go viral and land in everyone's plaza if they come from established internet figures & communities. It's why a lot of game journos with twitter followings are able to get their posts into the plaza so easily and often. This means there's kind of an age imbalance in terms of who can get their posts seen, and it would be really cool if adults were responsible about that instead of using it to shock-and-awe the playerbase with their fetishes.

Its more the concern that actual kids play this game and people dont want them googling what a furry is and having a 8 year old's first experience with porn be a cartoon wolf dick.

I know that its 2017 and escaping weird fetishes is impossible online, but reporting wont kill anyone and id rather have spongebob memes in my plaza rather then furries trolling people cuz they said stop.

Playing with squelcher dualies in turf war is too easy. I'll never learn to roll because everyone just gets wrecked by the range advantage, so I never have to. It's especially amusing to splat bad chargers.

When the barrier explodes whichever team did less damage to it dies if they're in range. You can sorta see what color it is when it's expanding, and if it's not your color get the gently caress away from it.

The barrier explodes when it's popped. If any of the opposing team members are caught in the blast radius, they get Splatted.

Also if the expanding bubble pushes you against an obstacle, it'll smoosh you. It can also push you off the edge of the stage.

The barrier itself also damages anyone who makes direct contact with it, so you can be killed that way as well. Though I don't think the barrier does that much damage, so if that happens, it would most likely be the result of being pushed into it during a firefight.

I was thinking more "camp an area long enough to ink it, then find another area to camp". Agreed a heavy splatling in the middle of the action is probably a dead splatling. "Keep moving" doesn’t necessarily mean "charge into the firefight". Painting your own team's ink doesn’t give you any points.

Most (all?) levels have a lot of ways to move around. Even on Moray Towers (a good map, suck it haters) you can strut up and down the ramp on your team's side of the map. In fact you probably should do that to avoid getting rushed by some disgruntled splattershot who knows where you’ve been standing for two straight minutes.

I'm no splatling expert so I could be way off here.

Basically I never really move into the middle with it but I'll move all over our side of things and keep spraying ink all over to make over taking us a lot harder and usually can snag some splats of people either trying to get to me or causing others fighting in the middle to get hit/stuck and then finished off. Like in the skate park I stay on our side of the raised platforms and fire away all day and watch for people coming down either side to get at me.

No, see, THAT is a reason to report. If someone draws a lemon and then writes "www dot lemonparty dot com" underneath it, you should report it, but you should not then report all lemons you see because that is dumb and not what the report button is for.

It doesn't even have to smoosh you, standing on the Rainmaker when the barrier forms killed me before.

I think fog and the Grillers are the night waves I hate most now. If a single thing goes wrong in the Griller wave, it's so easy for that to go to hell. And it's nearly impossible to recover from once the double Grillers start showing up.
