If you get the tuber, rely on grenades. You only charge shots to pop bosses.

I'd rather have a Scope Charger instead of the Goo Tuber. At least the scopes have range, even if they reduce your field of vision heavily.

Tapping the goo tuber instead of charging also works well in a pinch.

Having ninja squid with octobrush is providing some of the funnest moments in this game for me. Being able to play something other than turf war also helps. Turf war can be fun but drat does it feel like winning or losing can be out of my hands sometimes.

I love the Flingza Roller more than I should. It's probably a bad weapon, but it feels so good to pop squids with the vertical shot when they think they're out of range.

I've been employing a very sneaky tactic towards the end of salmon run rounds that's been helping me win a lot more than before, here it is:

I don't go charging wildly into the giant group of enemies to get splatted. I hang back at a safe distance and stay out of harm's way.

Unorthodox I know, but there you go.

Sometimes it's the job of the person with the brush to just run away for the last 20 seconds.

Man, agreeing with everyone about the current Salmon run setup. Since there's no apparent use for the Goo-tuber's strengths (holding the charge longer) it seems to just be a less effective charger. Also, any advice for handling a Rush on this set with this map (especially during high tide)? So far that's been a team wipe each time.

And since this is still a thread topic somehow, I've yet to see any inappropriate animal character pictures. The only inappropriate language I've seen I wouldn't want anyone who didn't already know to Google has been non-image "Yiff in Hell!" and "Stop the yiffing" posts.

Okay, regardless of how anyone feels about the current situation, that was a drat funny line. Kudos Zelder. :golfclap:

You handle the rush the same way you handle it in every other Salmon Run; retreat to the safest spot as a group and blast the salmonids from afar. The highground next to the basket gives you plenty of space to mow down the salmonids. The goo tuber sucks but the splatling gun does enough heavy lifting to compensate. If you're stuck with the goo tuber just toss bombs endlessly, its far more effective than shooting individual salmonids for piddling damage. Also don't be afraid to burn youyr specials because the rush is one of the hardest events.

Do all that and lose anyways because your team members got greedy and jumped off the perch for an egg you didn't need.

Good news: I'm consistently getting top of my team in Turf Wars, so I'm obviously getting better

Bad news: I won one out of my last three games

Reassuring news: The two games I lost had an AFKer in them. At least I'm pretty sure, since they got 0p. That or a DC, either way, I was down a player.

Yeah the real secret to salmon run is to hone your pubbie herding skills. They're very predictable in that they'll ignore everything and beeline towards bosses cause they want to be top DPS. Usually they'll manage to take the boss down with them then immediately die to the salmon mosh pit they dove into.

My role is usually the janitor-- keep things moving smoothly by inking escape routes, keep trash monsters under control (eg kill the trash that no one's paying attention to, pubbies love to target fixate and magdump into the same hoard even though one person could have easily handled it). Of course, some weapons can't do this as well because they're highly specialized (scopes, brushes, etc) so at that point you should play to it's strengths.

In general I find playing reactively to what my teammates are doing and covering their flaws has been a good strategy. I pub all my salmon run games and have never dropped out of pro since I got there. You'll lose sometimes despite your best efforts and it's cathartic to say "loving pubbies", but in the end you're the only common factor between all your runs and you should try to improve on the things you have direct control over.

It feels like you have to get to A rank before you consistently match with people who actually know what they're doing. I had a rainmaker match earlier (at B rank) that was a whole trainwreck where I'm pretty sure I was the only player who knew the rules of the mode. One guy grabbed it and no joke stalled out the timer on their side of the map, taking potshots at us until he died to the explosion. Others at least seemed aware that the rainmaker should be brought vaguely towards enemy base but at least one of my teammates, when presented with a clear opportunity to win, chose to hang around the goal and go for a couple of splats with the big gun.

What I'm saying here is splatoon bumps people up to B- way too easily. C should be the rank where you learn the ropes.

I GOT CRABBY ABOUT PHONE GAMING
I feel pretty good about packing the .52 with both last ditch effort and the the opposite one that gives boosts during the first 30 seconds as well. I also have ninja, jump speed increase, bomb defense, ink resistance, faster ink refill, more special damage, quick recovery, fast running , less loss of special when splat, and fast swim at level 16. I actually have the next few weapons, including the tri-slosh but don't like it as much. I used a couple of snails to add more to the best gear I had already rolled.

I guess I just need to hone in my skills more overall. Can't wait to get a better ranking. Is there someway they can force dumbasses to at least read the objective rules? It's very clear a large percentage of players don't want ever bother to. I'm not very good,but have gone from being one of the worst to consistently being the top team member whether winning or losing.
