Best Cooler Weapons

[Shakqy]

I’ve already done this with stamp. But wanted to do it an again for cooler. Tell me what yall think though.

1. Heavy Edit. With 9.3.0 it’s just a bit stronger now, having cheaper specials, and better paint
2. Pencil. It’s an incredibally strong main weapon. With a decent sub and good cooler output with strong paint.
3. N-zap 85. It’s the only real prominent cooler option besides the first two. It has a good sub, good paint. It was strong in 2 with both kits and was a strong main weapon
4. Ima go with tri-nouveau. It’s not the best weapon ever. But has some pretty strong niches around some modes. And its sub is strong with it.
5. Ima go with dapple here. It might not have a great sub. But it’s becoming a pretty strong main weapon, and it has pretty quick kill time. And ungodly cooler output.
6. I gotta go with H-3, I can’t put nozzlenoses at the bottom of any tier list. I love them too much. It has fine output with quite a bit of charge up. But mostly pretty bad. Point sensor doesn’t work with it.
7. Dynamo, one of the greats, fallen into nothing. Used to be great in 1, but now it feels the nerfs. Cooler just doesn’t fit with Dynamos play style imo.

cooler weapons are some of the most well rounded weapons luckily. None of them are terrible. But a few are pretty weak. Tell me what you guys thing though?

Yep, it has like none. But it feels like there are a lot because multiple of them are or have been top tiers

I'm gonna interject here - I don't think Dynamo deserves the bottom of this list. While yes, it has fallen from Splatoon 1, the buffs it received in 3 have helped. The increase to the range and angle at which it does max damage helped with its fighting, and the more recent paint consistency buff it got did a bit for its self-sufficiency. These buffs, plus the fact that it has some maps that favor its main weapon, like Humpback, allow it to see some use - which is not something I can say about Dapple or H-3. I hardly ever see either of them. Dapple doubly so because its frontline positioning serves to curb its cooler output by adding extra risk to going down, along with the fact that it has another much more aggressive kit that sees top-level play. So personally, Dynamo deserves spot 5 since it does play at the right position for cooler, and as for H-3 and Dapple, they're pretty even.

If we're judging these weapons based on how good they are as *Cooler* weapons, then nTri is absolutely at the bottom. This thing doesn't farm Coolers at all, it just gets them sometimes while doing Tri things. A lot of teams that run nTri run a second Cooler weapon, because nTri isn't a real Cooler weapon. The same could be said for Dapples, but as far as I know vDapples does get them more often. But it's not a good Cooler weapon either.

Get that Dynamo up there in the top 5.

I can see that. I guess dynamo has seen a lot of buffs. But honestly, I think the great part of these cooler weapons. Is that they all aren’t terrible weapons (maybe h-3) But they all have seen some competitive use sometime in s3 (not h-3) Like I’ve seen some dapple comps

As much as it pains me to speak ill of my beloved bucket, I have to agree with this statement. Part of this can be chalked up to my reckless pursuit of enemies to splat and their non-zero ability to splat me in return, but the 210p and Fizzy nerfs haven't helped me pump out Coolers either. It's a shame. Tacticooler is my favorite Splatoon 3 special and it was my favorite before it got good. I just don't play any other Cooler weapon as well.

As someone that mains edit, cooler works very well, so I second it being in the number one spot. Given edits amazing paint output combined with its mobility it not only farms cooler well, but uses (at least how I play it anyway) the buffs from cooler really well.
