So... that the name, if I hear anything better I will change it.... anyways this is demo so any advice an recommendation for future weapon will be apperciated
Episode 1: Goldenparasol (Undercover brella)
Hello everyone Saber here, today I wanted to bring you a new series I am starting up.
Here I will discuss the shunned weapons of splatoon 2
explaining
- why people view it as bad.
- what common error people make while using such weapons
- and how to effectively use these weapons some unique tricks you can do with some of these weapons.
-Where it works best
-as well as what buff might be need to make these weapon more effective overall
The first weapon I am going to be considering is the undercover brella due to it's recent popularity (*cough @ThatSrb2DUDE)
So why do people view it as bad?
Many people feel it is inconaisitent in damage especially at max range, and it's shield can be easily broken by bombs and charger shots leaving you open and easy to kill due the freeze frames
What common mistakes do people make with this tool?
So if you do this, don't go aggro. (......no, no nope, stop, don't do this.)
Players will immedietly go into a battle open firing at any enemies nearby, this is good for painting turf but just puts a bullseye on you and as mentioned earlier it is easy to take you out without dealing damage.
Make use your mines, people reisist using these, but placing them near an objective can give your team vision and a good idea on how to attack...just make sure there aren't people nearby or you will be splatted
Lastly do not panic! Splashdown is a great special but due to the UC Brella's range panic specialing with a uncover brella will only give and enemy the space they need to pick you off from a distance.
So then how do you play the Uncover brella?
Get this....you play it undercover.:D
Okay yeah I am a smart alec , but the brella is effective in burst attacks, not head on.
Be patient sneak up and rush 1 enemy at a time or force them to come to you and get melted like a S1 carbon. However unlike the carbon you should rarely initiate a fight unless you are spotted
Another thing I recommned is to use your shield to deal damage, if you can manage the shield deals 30 damage allowing you to 60 damage in a single hit.
It also allows for the most beautiful read when combined with an inkmine.
When your shield is down make use of tapshots, by taping instead of holding you increase your mobility slightly allowing you to strafe and splatterdash thus increasing your overall mobility
Where it works best.
In my opinion, this weapon works best in modes like clam blitz, and in rainmaker, since both can make good use of coverage, and can sneak around easily due to many people focusing on a constantly moving objective rather than a single player?
It can also be good in splat zones but this is map dependant from my experience with it (which I won't be going into)
Lastly, what needs to be buffed.
Yeah as I much as I do enjpy this weapon, it isn't a optimal pick by any means though I may tease a certain DUDE about it.
This weapon needs a buff to it consistentcy, at mid to max range it can be a 3 to 5 shot to kill.
Also I feel it need to have more mobility when the shield breaks, or give the parasol more health cause once the shield is down then you no way to pull back
Overall despite my teasing this weapon can be used but it isn't without some serious flaws. But if you want to be the James Bond of the Inklings there is no weapon better.
