so keep in mind i'm only running this in solo queue, but i've become addicted to running haunt on my squiffers.
i used to wear this coat that had run speed up main and three run speed up subs, but i've switched to that blue checkered button-down from rockenberg (so dropped the run speed main but kept the three subs). at first, it was just because it felt odd playing splatoon in a heavy coat in the hot summer, but as time passed, honestly i've fallen in love.
basically, with haunts buffs, it means that any time i get tagged (which happens pretty often but tends not to make a difference since the squiffer is so ffing loud everyone already knows my location), i get defense up and run speed up (and technically damage up, but this is squiffer so lol).
but the real great part of using it in solo queue is that, as a squiffer, you tend to be a key defensive point for your team. even on the more offensive fresh squiffer, you tend to be a key player of whatever zone you're in. so, it REALLY SUCKS when you die and your corpse becomes the floodgates for a massive turnaround (which always seems to be the case). haunt reveals more clearly than "nice" not only that there is danger on the field, but where exactly that issue is, meaning even ****ty teammates will flock over there and do their best to plug the leak.
paired up with a few respawn time downs you can hop right back where you were right at the moment your killer gets his (lolol you thought you had me b****).
<obviously if you're playing with headsets with your personal luxury squad, you can just tell them you died and where the problem is, but for those of us in solo queue we can only make do with random, unresponsive teammates>
anyway, the lack of the run speed up main was not as noticeable as i thought,
and when i switch over to bamboozler (on which i run a different shirt that has some damage ups), i honestly find myself pining over my precious haunt.
anyway, it may be even better if you play a charger that can use haunt's damage up as well as its other buffs, but i don't use them so who cares.
anyway, thoughts on haunt?
