so I made up this trick were you jump off the map and use zip caster right before you die so it shoots you back up. heres a demonstration
it’s great for last ditch effort to try and keep you alive and you can even get picks off of it.

when you jump off the map, then we walk away assuming you die, but no, you come back up right behind them and splat them.

this works great on stamper because even if someone is camping you, you can still kill them with the right timing.

This was already known but it's still good to mention it in case this is new information for anyone else here.
I don't think I've ever had to use it though, but that's probably because I play regular Slosher more than Slosher Deco.

i’ve definitely done the “fake death with zipcaster” strat accidentally before, lol. i’ve been playing less light tetras recently but maybe i should think about using this tech on purpose when i do play them (or if i pick up another zip weapon…)

Considering how many times I thoughtlessly roll off the map this has saved my butt a few times on light tetras. But I've never used it tactically, more as a panic button. I'll have to try it.

Whatever vCarbon needs to get close to Carbon Deco
