I got them this morning.

It's just for Splatfests, just in Normal (not Pro), and it only applies when your whole team matches, not just yourself. It's just a score multiplier at the end. But you can get smaller multipliers with partial matches or other kinds of matches (e.g. all squids, all female, all wearing glasses...

Dang it, they announced the next Splatfest already, less than a week after the last one. Didn't get a chance to collect my Sea Snails.

Not surprising. Lots of mirror matches on Team Hero, and I got trounced pretty hard. Ran into a couple of the best players I've ever seen. Someone named *Yoshi with a carbon roller who seemed to be literally everywhere at once, on that giant Shifty Station, spawncamping us singlehandedly...

Yeah, something to make it about as rewarding as Salmon Run. Maybe a bit less so, since it's always available, even offline, but enough to make it worthwhile and interesting.

I figure it's a consolation prize. "SO WHAT if I didn't pre-order Smash? I'll just be at this Party Crash having FUN all by MYSELF!"

The Explosher is one of my mains as well, one of only three weapons with which I have SUPERFRESH. I don't think the comparison to the Dynamo Roller is helpful. It has massive range and inking, but the damage is low unless you get the pierce-burst like Saber said--and even then it's only 90...

Echo. I don't see these on the linked tweet or on the wiki. I'm definitely interested in seeing the numbers. I thought they'd learned their lesson about Damage Up, and I thought we'd be safe since meta weapons didn't seem to be getting it, but no, all the dualies and non-brush rollers are...

A .52 with Splash Wall? A Rapid with Torpedo? Guess I'm getting back in the game!

Does anyone else think that art is kind of weird? To me it evokes one of those photos you see in psycho's dens where the pictures of people are scratched out and defaced.

Even moreso, Ink Saver (Main) on the SS Jr. is kind of pointless. Its ink efficiency is tremendous. Ink Recovery Up or Ink Saver (Sub) are better for it if you're spamming subs all the time.

I was actually looking for this myself. It looks like it wasn't changed at any point in Splatoon 2, and only the Splatoon 2 patch notes provide the exact number. It looks like it was an absolutely massive number in Splatoon 1 v.2.6.0--about 35 points' worth. Unfortunately it's hard to test...

It's not the end of balance updates, fortunately. If it turns out that Main Power Up on a particular weapon is too good, they still have time to nerf it.

Yes, however, Tenacity has two effects when active: passive Special gauge fill and some Special Charge Up. That Special Charge Up, combined with normal slots of Special Charge Up, has diminishing returns as if it were the actual ability.

I can't stand the fizzy bombs, personally. They take too long to deploy and they leave you vulnerable while you're twitching around charging them. They're pretty good if you use them from a safe position, but they're much more niche than, say, Splat Bombs. I actually kind of like the...
