Advice on making a bomb spam setup?

[Ac℮]

So I've been doing research into making a gear set that can let me spam sub weapons, probably bombs. According to what I know, you need about 36 points, or three main, two subs, of sub savor to get to use an extra splat bomb. Which leaves me seven or six sub slots for something else. And that's the problem I am having, I can't think of what I want to fill the other sub slots with to best help such a strange setup. Bomb Power Up to increase range? If so, how many bomb power up subs would amount to a noticeable difference? Ink Recovery Up? Would seven ink recovery up subs make a noticeable difference on the rate I could spam bombs? I just can't figure out what would be best to add to 36 points of ink savor sub to allow more bomb uses? Any suggestions?

From testing, the best Ink Recovery Up setup you can have in this situation makes you a little under half a second faster at deploying four bombs as quickly as possible (about 18 frames). It'll definitely add up over time, but you're not going to be performing psuedo-bomb rushes on the fly. A full set of sub saver provides an even faster result (about 25 frames), though the overspecialization will probably hurt more than it helps.

If you want to specialize in two abilities, two mains and five subs of will get you better results. Personally, I would recommend:

OR

These will allow you to throw bombs the most frequently, though under different circumstances. Both allow you to have the normal utility subs (Quick Super Jump, Bomb Defense DX and Ink Resistance Up) and an extra sub for whatever other ability you might want.
Comeback's results are virtually identical to a main of IRU while active, but under ideal circumstances Last-Ditch Effort outdoes them all, saving a little over half a second each time (about 38 frames). Which of the three you run comes down to preference, but LDE's overall results would make it my pick.

Finally, there's a couple specials you could use to do a 4-bomb rush on a whim. Bubble Blower and Ink Armor allow you to throw bombs immediately on activation, making them the fastest, followed by Ink Storm, Tenta Missiles, Splashdown and Ultra Stamp. This won't work with Booyah Bomb, Baller, Sting Ray and Inkjet since you can't throw bombs while using them.

I hope this was useful!

WOAH this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

But wait a minute, I read on inkpedia that you need 36 points, basically three mains and two subs, of sub saver to be able to use an extra burst bomb? Wouldn't 35 points, two mains and five subs, not be enough? Also, so is bomb power up to increase range just useless most of the time? I dunno if this would help in your advice, but I only plan to use this set in turf war anyways, just to have a silly goofy setup. Also, thanks for mentioning last ditch effort, I had forgotten about the buff they gave it near the end of the game.

I want to do silly annoying things with bombs, such as being near the spawn area in the high elevation start maps like Mussel or Moray, and throwing bombs all the way to near the center area, or to the center platform people get on like in Inkblot and Skatepark. I think it would be cool, to see two or three people on the high platform in the middle in those areas, and just being able to throw two splat bombs all the way to the top of the platform while not near the area yet really.

Yeah, two mains and five subs is insufficient for burst bombs, but crosses the threshold for every other bomb type. For practicality's sake, you can run 2 pures of ISS to get that extra burst bomb but you miss a bit of potential on whatever other ability you pick.

This setup gives you an extra bomb for every bomb type and the furthest throwing range, which gives you roughly this distance.

Without SPU

With SPU

This was done with 1 pure SPU, 2 pure ISS. The set I posted above will go ever-so-slightly further. Whether or not it's worthwhile I'll leave for you to decide.
I'm still more partial to abilities that will allow more frequent use, but there's some utility to this setup.

While we're at it, here's a curious setup that will get you the maximum range while still allowing you to throw two bombs on a full tank.

It only works with the Splattershot Jr., but since it's capable of pulling off a 4-bomb rush it should be fun to play around with.

Ok cool, I really like that one more too. Thanks for all of your help.

So I just looked something up, and supposedly, to use another point sensor you need 3 main and 3 SUBS of ink saver sub? Is that true?

 

[Forma]

3 main, 1 sub OR 2 main, 4 sub will get you 3 point sensors.

Oh well nevermind then, thanks.
