H-3 Nozzlenose D is our weapon of the week! Sub-weapon is Suction Bombs and the special is Ink Armor. Special cost is most likely 190p if the newest leak is any indication.

Those of you familiar with the old leak might notice that a kit change happened. Sub-weapon got changed from Sprinkler to Suction Bombs. But a new leak on version 2.3.2 occurred, and there were several other kit changes that were discovered as a result.

This kit honestly looks pretty scary. The weapon has a very high skill floor, but it's an absolute monster in the right hands (as the Cherry H-3 can attest to that.) If you really want to get good with this weapon, you'll have to invest a lot of time and practice into it.

started playing this again and I'm not ranked in Clam Blitz which means every game I'm with colorblind six year olds

Average clam blitz experience:
*football drops*
Teammate: I GOT IT COACH I GOT THIS
Me: oh okay well let me throw a curling bomb to make you a path and cover you with a stingray
Teammate: NAH BRO IMMA TAKE THE LONG WAY AROUND THE MAP *runs directly into enemy fire, dies*

Clam Blitz is the best mode with competent teammates but is the most frustrating poo poo ever when you're teamed up with a bunch of loving idiots that somehow still don't know how to play at A-rank

I'm fairly certain most Clam Blitz players don't know you can throw clams at any time to other players, rather than just at the net.

Considering the number of times I've seen someone with 9 clams and thrown clams at their feet spamming THIS WAY, only for them to go in the opposite direction and do a few laps around the map, you're probably right.

Probably old news, but I didn't realize you could make that first jump. Also featuring my horrible Nozzlenoze skills.

In Training posted:

How is rainmaker in that range, RM and CB scare me in S+X because of how much coordination is required to do well


Whoops, missed this.

Not bad? I still run onto the occasional team that takes a while to pick up the Rainmaker, or picks it up and never moves forward - but most players are competent, and a good amount know general strategies for stages so you can get some coordination. The first time in Clam Blitz I snuck to the enemy side and someone actually super jumped to me with the Football felt amazing. Try using This Way every so often and people will listen maybe 50% of the time?

I strongly suggest using the map more to help, either figuring out what your teammates are planning or looking at the ink to figure out where the enemy is going with the Rainmaker. Especially in Clam Blitz.

I normally play Krak-on Splat Roller just so I can do a bit of everything - Horizontal for upclose, Vertical Flicks have surprising range - even longer if they already have damage, Beakons to get around quickly. I also think anyone who uses beakons gets annoyed when people don't use them, so check the map and use them if they're useful.

Especially in Moray, it takes forever to fall down. I specifically go with Sub Power to make those Beakons more useful.

... Not true at all? I play online with my kids all the time. It's kinda annoying that if you're in the same turf war lobby that you're not guaranteed to be on the same team, but it doesn't ruin the game or anything. If you want to play ranked modes together you can play League and you'll always be on the same team.

True until you unlock League mode then you can play together as often as you want.

You have multiple Switches, right? Because there's no local play, unlike in Splatoon 1.

Oh okay, sweet. I could have seen this being the case, just being Nintendo and their habit of loving up online in dumb ways. I think it was specifically referring to Splat fests with only two people, so that may have been why people were complaining.

I think I found a new weapon to main. I loved the L-3 Nozzlnoses, but this H-3 Nozzlenose D kit is utterly bonkers. Would have been happy if it got the Sprinkler, but getting a bomb really made this kit a lot better.

Speaking of Quake, there's a new mod I need to check out: Arcane Dimensions. From what I've read, they've pushed the Quake single player experience to new heights.

God I loved mods back in the day. Alas, that's not something you see much nowadays.
