What Builds Are You Currently Running/Experimenting With?

[Zero Meddler]

I'm curious is all... Here are some I'm running.

This is a rather new one that I've been running using various weapons. I have other pieces of gear that have more , but this is the most... optimal (I guess is the word I'm looking for o3o).

Here's what I normally run (usually when I use the Dual Squelcher. I also swap out the Head and Shoes a lot =/)

This is my default outfit. There's a number of pieces I'll swap in as needed, but they all share one specific ability. You might notice a trend.





And here's my extreme speed outfit.

Krak-On 528


I have others floating about, but those are the most notable.

 

[drwatson]

My Octoshot build that I've been doing well with:





And my Dual Squelcher build:
Legendary Cap (I eventually want to get triple Swim Speed or Run Speed on this, but it's fine for now)

Roasted Brogues

Those are some pretty solid builds. I'm jelly of your gear, especially the pure ones. XD Did you savescum or were these from leveling or a couple rerolls?

Loving your Octoshot build and eyyy, another Dual Squelcher user. XD
Getting that extra Swim Speed would even you out. Huh, seeing this build makes me wanna incorporate Damage Up in my builds... O.O

I'm experimenting with good looking gear because I'd like to at least casually return to using my male Inkling. My very good clothes are very feminine and currently irreplacable, so I'm experimenting with some clothes that would look great on the male but still aren't entirely useless.

Spent some snails yesterday creating the Octo Tee, which is optically speaking my favorite. With as main ability (which is sadly a rather useless ability) and x3 subs.

 

[Dessgeega]

Thanks Zero. Naturally I save scummed, though the pure gear were happy accidents while working on other things :P

Ulk, I'm curious what gear you have that you'd consider very feminine. I always thought the clothing in this game was pretty unisex.

 

[Ulk]

The clothing is technically going in the direction of "unisex". I guess it's mostly just me, really. But a direct example would be the School Uniform and School Shoes, both which I've rolled to the point where I got exactly what I needed from them ( | and | ). They change heavily when I switch to the male Inkling, but to me they still seem to have a very feminine touch, even the Shoes.

 

[Dessgeega]

Fair enough, I suppose. I can kind of see what you mean.

Also, hail fellow squelcher users! :D

 

[Ulk]

Comes down to taste in the end of the day I guess.

Preach my Squelcher brother.

 

[Floating Eyeball]

I just recently got a build I've been really enjoying for my Tempered Dynamo, but I've forgotten the specifics of it. (I'll put it up here when I can get to my WiiU) I do know it had a good amount of and , and because of all the trades.

EDIT: Okay, remember the hat (Paintball Mask, ), and the shoes ( ), but only part of the shirt ( )

 

[SupaTim]

As I'm trying the wasabi this is what I typically use:

Fake Contacts |
Baseball Jersey |
Soccer Cleats |
Lots of special charge for lots of inkstrikes.

 

[Floating Eyeball]

I've gotten a pretty great build for my : with as many as you can get, and any matchup of clothes and shoes with and . It's a great way to move around the map fast, especially with boosting your speed even more, and it lets you use the Seekers more when attacks and moving.

 

[Shun_one]

Been running this on E Litre




I play pretty mobile when I choose a Charger, and the additional speed helps the Kraken.

Sorry to nitpick, but Ninja Squid AND Stealth Jump? That's some pretty hefty movement penalties, after applying the speed debuff your swim boosts only make you 2.7% faster. Considering skilled players will still see your indent in the ink when swimming, I'd recommend doffing Ninja Squid. Yay random unsolicited advice!

 

[Tirednoob]

just started with the carbon deco roller :) having lots of fun with it

But what if you're playing against not-so-skilled players? Honestly, as long as I'm in TW Ninja Squid has come in handy (depending on maps). It is still fairly difficult to see the tiny indent, and if you use it more for swim strafing than "ambushing" then it helps in those circumstances.

I don't use it much anymore, but I think it can be fun for casual play. I might go use it right now...

Spoiler: ninja tentatek

Two Stripe Mesh |
Zekko Hoodie |
Red High Tops |

I really only use it on maps with a lot of open areas for fighting. It doesn't work as well on linear maps and maps with lots of narrow passages.

 

[Leronne]

Neo Splash-o-matic with:

Ink resistance and comeback are abilities i've used for a long time, but i've now only started using haunt because of the recent haunt buff and echo nerf. I like it so far. I accidently booyah at times. Force of habit. After all my preffered gear have a mininum of 2 preffered subs, i'm gonna try and roll triple for these gear

I also have this shirt which i miraculously got from 1 reroll:

I plan to use it if i know i'm gonna be up against someone with echolocator for extra burst bomb damage.

 

[Dessgeega]

But what if you're playing against not-so-skilled players?

Considering there are many threads and posts complaining about how serious even turf war is getting, it's probably going to be harder and harder to escape the skilled players as time goes on. Be on your A-game at all times or YOU WILL SUFFER SPLATOON IS THE MOST SRS OF BSNS :P

I guess I've gotten used to it. My point, if I even have one, is that ninja squid can be fun/useful/effective at times if you know how to use it and not to overestimate it.
