I made basically this exact thread a while ago but the meta's changed a lot and I've thought of some improvements (?) to the tier lists so here it is again.
There are a lot of cool little synergies that can happen between a main weapon and its kit. Sadly, most dream kit discussion ends up falling short for me because most of it feels like it's trying to come to an objective conclusion rather than what people actually want. A lot of it feels dictated by what options are currently strong as opposed to what would work best in a vacuum. This idea's goal is to spice things up a bit more.
You have 5 Points to work with to try and create a dream kit for your main. Across the sub and special, you can spend 4 points on one and 1 on the other, 3 on one and 2 on the other, or use less if you feel like you don't need that many. The kit you end up making doesn't have to be what you think is best, just whatever kit you'd like to have seen the most for one reason or another. Keep in mind that the below tier lists aren't meant to be fully accurate to how good each of these things are as opposed to how much general use I think they'd have for the average weapon, give or take a tier or two. Curling Bomb notably had to be put a tier up because I think it's just leagues better than the other 2 pointer subs.
Maaaaaybe there's too much stuff in the 3 point subweapon and 2 point special categories which would make it too appealing to pick since they nicely add up to 5 but I think the gap between the 2 point and 4 point specials is high enough to the point where I'm okay with it. Everyone as a group's responses will end up speaking for themselves.
To start us off and for the sake of example, for a Decavitator kit, this is another example where 2 point Curling Bomb would be insane since there are a lot of very strong specials for it that are worth 3 points. I could very easily say Curling Bomb + Inkjet and that would be it, no questions asked. It's hard for me to come to a strong conclusion here since I could see the justification for a lot of different things on this weapon.
Maybe I'm avoiding the stuff on the current kits because I don't want to think too hard about a direct downgrade from either of those but for now I'll say I like Point Sensor + Booyah Bomb here, spending 3 points on my special and 2 on my sub to match the limit of 5 points in total. I don't think Decav is super dependent on its subweapon being good to function and in this meta especially having a good special is definitely better than having a good sub. Point Sensor would still be alright because of how well this weapon's dash lets it poke past cover. Booyah Bomb gives it a form of good continuation and fast, but not foolproof protection that helps mitigate how slow it is. Also allows it to threaten enemies at a distance or over ledges which this weapon really wants. Honorable mention to Curling Bomb + Screen though.
So, what would you do with your main(s)?
