I would say that it is the aerospray requires someone to point at an often evading target the Dynamo you dont even have to get in close and the startup may be slower that the other rollers but ive never noticed it myself as I wont use them
Okay, this was bull. You definitely can't reach the other sniping spot, you in fact can't quite cover all of the middle section, the opposite corner is just out of reach.
Although I did find out you can throw a splat bomb to the other middle vantage point if you squid jump from your vantage point and throw it in mid-air, and it explodes so fast enemies often don't have enough time to react. and specifically on Arowana you can reach all sniper nests from the middle below.
As a dynamo main I find that you opinion of the sprinkler being pointless is kinda silly. If you use it like I do you toss it at them and occupy it with them enough to give yourself cover to do whatever you need to do. I use it so that they have to get rid of it and when they do I pop out and get them. You already move slow enough so anything you can do to space people is best.
Oh okay, thank you for letting me know that. I haven't completed all the missions cause I haven't had the motivation too. I found my basic costume I like so the bonus ones aren't as cool as I'd like. Now that you told me about the weapons I might just wait til way later to beat them.
Okay, here's the issue. The Sprinkler eats a lot of ink and leaves you with maybe only 1 full Flick left in the tank. That means that if you don't want to play risky, you have to get your tank at least a bit refilled, unless you REALLY can make that one shot count. You dedicate a bit of time towards a trick - in the same time you could just take out your enemies more reliably through stealth methods anyway. The trick can also backfire because smart enemies see through the plot and take you out first before disposing the Sprinkler (which is easier because you're more vulnerable from an empty tank), and even if they didn't consider the strategy they quickly learn about and adapt to it, which makes it somewhat expire or you can't do it too often so you can keep it a surprise. It's easy to predict and easy to circumvent. Overall, I find Sprinkler distraction tactics way too unreliable and dependent on whether your enemy falls for it, and the risk doesn't really make up for the benefit compared to other methods of attack. Maybe useful for Turf Wars where most people are mediocre, but can you pull that in A Ranked lobbies? I'll edit the section to be a little more neutral I guess, but I don't really see a lot of value in it. It's a satisfying tactic for sure, but does it hold up?
Being close has value as well, especially against Chargers. It can be harder to hit, but if you've got the re-aiming thing mid-air down while dancing around your opponent then it's not too bad (splatting someone from up close is actually more reliable than trying it from a distance and risk them having opportunity to flee).
Oh absolutely! I would never do the stuff I do on analogue stick. I don't even know if it's possible with the right stick.
You are going to have to get good, and learn to exploit the weapon's weakness. Believe it or not, the Dyanmo Roller is easier to beat in 1v1s, than the other rollers; Ink Brush aside... Throwing ink is a high risk, high reward. It takes a while to do, you have to aim a bit over someone's head and lets not forget about the cool down. All you have to do, is pay attention, swim towards them as they throw ink, and then they die, while they are still in cool down. There is a little more to it then that, but the average Dyanmo player will fall to this tactic, often. @Kiritora Can give some insight on the type of tactics that work well against her Dyanmo.
How can you determine what's the ultimate best strategy on a dynamo? I've personally developed a very aggressive playstyle that almost always places me at the top point wise and K/D wise by a very large margin. a supportive strategy does work and is in fact incorporable with an otherwise aggressive play. It's all very viable and potent. The thing is that the Dynamo besides filling an excellent support role is REALLY REALLY lethal if played right, and can fill the role of dedicated assassination. The Dynamo is a really versatile weapon actually. What is true is that the vanilla Dynamo is rather support focussed and the Gold Dynamo is rather aggression focussed, but those are tendencies and not set in stone.
The Gold Dynamo really is nothing to talk about and offers nothing to the team, that a million other weapons can't already do.
Are you really talking down the Gold Dynamo because it can do things that others can? You realize the game is built around redundancy, right? Why would I play other weapons because you can reliably win with the Splattershot Jr.? Because I personally prefer using a different weapon. Other great weapons only offer marginal team support as well. Besides that, a well placed Inkstrike can tremendously help your team push through a barrier, and since you can place it from afar you can support acute focal points you're not involved in. "It does things other weapons do" is not a good argument because that's what I could say about every weapon in the game.
Kelp Dome is pretty much a point farming fest if you're constantly on the move, so higher scores are to be expected if you always think about covering. That's the thing: if you halt, you don't cover. 1800 is also pretty much an exception instead of the rule even for the Gold Dynamo Roller. Other thing is it depends on how active the enemy is and how much turf there is to recover. Dynamos can cover a lot, but you kind of need to be lucky for 1800; it's circumstantial.
Hi, I'm currently sitting at an A rank and I've exclusively used the Gold Dynamo Roller during my run up Ranked Mode. Personally, when Arowana Mall is in the map rotation, I like hopping onto one of the sniper nests (preferably the nest to the right, thanks to the wall there) and flicking ink down onto the splat zone in the middle. I'll constantly flick ink down until my team takes control of the zone. Of course, you need to keep an eye on your surroundings so opposing Inklings have a tougher time splatting you from behind. I don't like rushing to the middle all that much unless my team has full control of the splat zone.
