I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring here with Aerospray. I'm not that good at this video game but I have four starred both variants in S3 so I
feel like that's enough to justify at least an attempt?
I'm not super confident about the subs so let's start there.
- Fizzy Bomb is fantastic on Aerospray. Aerospray is a weapon that wants to be a pest, running around and painting everything while avoiding enemies since it can't fight, with the ultimate goal of spamming special. Throw Fizzy over and over again to get in paint and chip damage everywhere. For this reason I also feel that Autobomb and Torp are good picks especially since they help it locate enemies to avoid. Splat Bomb is less fantastic since you don't get as much paint out of it and unlike the other two you don't get a lock on nearby enemies, making it harder to avoid them.
- Utility subs can contribute more by indirectly helping Aerospray paint. Toxic Mist helps it escape bad situations, and Point Sensor helps it flush out areas it knows are safe to paint.
- Sprinkler is a bad sub weapon, but it does help you paint. I don't think Aerospray really needs more paint honestly but hey it's a quicker special. Curling Bomb consumes a lot of ink but also gives you a lot of paint in return.
- Despite Burst Bomb being busted on many weapons, I don't think it really helps Aerospray that much. Aerospray basically IS a Burst Bomb as the main weapon, it doesn't need another as the sub. Suction Bomb consumes too much ink that you could be using firing the main weapon for too little paint in return.
- Splash Wall would be used on Aerospray to do what the above subs would do, but worse. Marker is a bad sub that also doesn't paint. I can see no way for Ink Mine or Beakons to be useful.
Now for specials.
- Can you IMAGINE Cooler on Aerospray? lmao. As I understand it, the whole meta right now revolves around weapons that can get Cooler as often as possible... And Aerospray is a weapon that lives to get special. It wouldn't be outright game-breaking because Aerospray, but it would be nuts to watch.
- Aerospray RG is a kit that lives for Booyah Bomb. I think we all know how this one plays out for this weapon already.
- Tri-Strike and Chumps basically play the same role-- paint even more-- but Chumps has a cooldown.
- Zooka would be very funny on a weapon that has zero offensive firepower. "Surprise, I can now kill you from halfway across the map." Given Aerosprays high mobility this could lead to some funny things.
- I actually think Kraken would play well with Aerospray. It gives it a serious approach option to lend its team some offensive firepower that Aerospray pays the opportunity cost of. And given how often you get special you'd see Kraken pretty often. Unfortunately the startup and cooldown times make it hard to position yourself correctly for.
- Missiles on a weapon that lives to spam special. Need I say more?
- Ink Storm would be great for disrupting enemies and painting more, but it lasts a long time that Aerospray can't charge another special for.
- The three burst disruption specials do well. Aerospray likes a panic button when it gets cornered, since it can't fight back normally. I actually like Reefslider on Aerospray MG. It's a bad special but has good synergy. I've gotten some exceptionally cheesy kills with it lol.
- Crab does not play where Aerospray likes to play. Aerospray wants to be everywhere. Crab needs to retreat to the back lines to use effectively.
- Bubbler gives Aerospray a relatively safe place to work from on the battlefield, something it could really take advantage of.
- Inkjet... I dunno about Inkjet. It might actually be better. I just don't have a good understanding of how it works. My gut says it doesn't really play well with Aerospray.
- Wail doesn't play well, I don't think. Screen is a special with a large cooldown that doesn't really do Aerospray any favors.
- Wave Breaker doesn't play well except for a free ink refill. What would you even do with Vac or Zipcaster on Aerospray?
Let me know what you all think-- I'm definitely not a competitive player but I do find this game fun ^^
