Weapons that work best with Run Speed Up?

[shadowrohas]

I recently got a lot of run speed up, but I was wondering what weapons benefit the most from them? I know light shooters do, but I'm not sure which of them is best, or if there's some weapon I'm somehow skipping over that would benefit a lot from it.

On a side note, is consistent flanking possible in ranked? Now that I have all of the run speed up, I want to flank around the enemy a lot to catch them off guard. I'm not sure if it's viable in the A+ to S+ ranks.

I see a lot of Octoshot Replicas using them. Splat Chargers also use them. Gals use them too, but not as much.

Flanking still works in the super high ranks, you just need something to distract your opponents first. Otherwise they start looking at all the possible options your team may decide on. For example, using Kraken to disperse the opposing team, super jumping out of there, baiting them to think it is safe, when other teammates take them out from behind or the sides.

Splatlings all focus on standing and running for a while to charge and shoot, so they can make more use of the run speed to zone out opponents. The Mini has crazy run and flank speed with a few run speed up.

Shorter range shooters also benifit from run speed up, like Aerosprays and Sploosh-O-Matics.

Mini and heavy splattling. Any shooter with 50 and below range and the dual squelcher. Though running dual with run speed is mostly from personal experience. I don't really know if other duals run run speed, but i've personally found that it works well. The squiffer can also make run speed work well and maybe the bamboozler, but i don't have much experience with it. maybe the rapid blasters too, once again, not enough experience. Anything else i don't think needs run speed either because their strafe speed is much too slow or because they're completely unaffected (roller class).

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet

As already suggested the Splatling family benefits from it. N-Zap recently got a mobility buff and combined with run ups it can be quite beastly. Any shooter really would benefit from run ups :) I also like to use it with the Squiffer too since you're usually pretty close to the action.

If it's run speed up, generally you want to give them to Rollers as they rarely swim or Inkbrush as that would make it as good as a charger with swim ups. Then again Inkbrush / Charger has best rushdown.

Rollers, including inkbrushes, all have static run speeds for their rolling attacks. They benefit the least from run speed up.

Splatlings, most shooters (except jet squelcher and 96 gal), squiffers, and bamboozlers benefits from run speed

Top 3 would have to be all Splatlings (but mostly the Mini), the L3 Nozzlenoses, and the N-Zaps.

L-3 Nozzlenose for sure gets a huge benefit from Run Speed Ups. Used to use 3 Run Speed Mains all the time when I mained it in the past, really fun.

I'd say all weapons (Rollers and Brushes aside) get a pretty decent benefit out of Run Speed Up. However, what makes it trully viable is the playstyle of the player (for example, if they like to flank and relocate often in Squid form instead of strafing in the middle of a firefight then it's a no-go), so aside of the Splatlings (and the Chargers to an extent) there's no real "good" or "bad"

Oh wow, I had no idea that was the case. Granted, I use the Dynamo Roller so it's slow as hell regardless lol.

In general, if you're using a shooter, the lower your weapons effective range, the more useful run speed is.

I think this is probably true, I'd just like to say that I like some run speed on my squiffer, even though it has decent range.
