The Slosher, and Nothing but the Slosher - Covering others in your buckets of ink [Training Room Analysis]

Greetings! This is Robo from Thomas Alva Edison’s lab the Independent Squid Research Lab in New Jersey cooking up a guide series for all squids and kids. I’m an S player that has been gaining interest in the S+ and competitive life after stumbling my way into the Splatoon Showdown Series hosted with Leagues Under the Ink. I realize … I don’t understand any weapon nearly as much as I think do. A large part of getting better competitively is understanding the main behaviors of each...

I'm not quite sure where you're getting your Slosh % from… I just tested it and you can only get around 14 sloshes at a full tank, which comes out to around 7.14% each slosh. Also when I tested, you can only get two Burst + Slosh combos, then one more Slosh before you run out. I have just under 500k turf inked and I wish the Slosher had as good an ink efficiency as that.

Oh!! You're 100% right. I mixed up my numbers.

Somewhere in there I thought I could pull off 2 bomb + 8 slosh.
2 bomb*40% ink each + 8 slosh = 100% tank means after 2 bombs you'd have 20% tank for 8 sloshes, which is 2.5% each.
Untrue!

Redoing this, I see you can do 2 bombs + 2 slosh or 1 bomb + 8 slosh.
1 bomb + 8 slosh = 100% tank
bombs = 40% ink (confirmed by Inkpedia)
Sloshes should be about 7.5%.

Knowing this, 2 bomb + 2 slosh takes up 95% of your tank.

Thanks for taking the time to point it out. :) Edited the guide
