hydra splatling my beloved. first weapon I 5-star'd, and my go-to pick whenever I have a bad day and just want to play splatoon.

for stuff I actually use in comp, I love vanilla ballpoint to pieces. I play it like a more supportive backline, which is exactly my playstyle. I was SO sad when it go nerfed this latest patch T_T

Even with splatlings I like to play aggressively, so the Nautilus 47 gets my pick! Ever since 6.1.0, I've been trying to take advantage of the Ink Storm's new feature to remain out of the ink as I fire, but because it's the nautilus, I usually end up swimming in ink to reposition anyways lol.

I love naut too! I don't get play it often (got two naut players already on my team lol), but the mobility and DPS on that thing is so satisfying.

vanilla ballpoint my beloved...
good paint output and range all in one package, with inkjet added for good measure!

although i have been having fun with the heavy edit too lately. that fully charged fire rate feels absolutely stupid to wield which makes it all the more fun

Heavy Splatling! I love to bring it out for Tricolor during fests, especially on maps like MakoMart and Mincemeat. I also have a soft spot for Hydra Splatling, there was a small period of time where I claimed to main it (Thought that only lasted about a month), and Hydra's the weapon that first got me into S+

I also really like Mini Splatling but ONLY in Salmon Run lol, it's not really my thing in ranked or turf, but the good paint and quick charge time makes me really enjoy it when its in a Salmon rotation

Mine's Vanilla Ballpoint. I can't get used to Nouveau's kit even if I like it in theory. Inkjet is a really weird special for it but the fact that it's as good as it is makes it fine for me. I love how both the short and long range modes feel like they have their own problems even though the weapon is still very strong.

i used to play a lot of splatlings but fell off of them, but vballpoint is the one that i can still pick up today and do really well with. it's really fun when you get good at aiming the long range mode, it's one of the most satisfying weapons in the game to get a splat with when played well

ive played all of the splatlings (besides mini) and have vheavy/hydra/vbp 5 starred ^^ heavy is my favorite bc it has a really comfortable range, and can both backline + hold its own in a 1v1. i also really enjoy ballpoint even tho it kinda deals in extremes for me, i either have really good days w/ consistent 20+ kill games or days where i feel like ive forgotten how to play it lol. in terms of 5 starring experience tho i had the most fun with hydra. i 5 starred it during spring break in fresh season 2023, and by the last 100k i was grinding a couple hours a day and felt really consistent w/ kills and positioning. even tho ive basically dropped hydra since then i will never forget how rewarding that was <3

nautilus is simply so fun to me. ballpoint's up there too though, even though i'm far worse at it than naut lol.

Hedit is definitely my second favorite, but my first isceasily vanilla mini splatling. They have identical mobility stats too which is pretty cool

Heavy's the one I like using the most, but I feel like I'd really like Ballpoint if I were to try using it more.
