Dark Tetra?

[kind sinew]

What are some good abilities to run on Dark Tetra? I've been using swim speed for better movement, sub saver to throw 2 autobombs on one tank, and special charge up to get Reefslider more. Any corrections or ideas?

[wraith idol]

I don't main them (I main chargers) but it's the first thing I go to when I play short range

rn my build is this (cuz i use some stuff from my charger builds since I'm used to my weps that have them)

smth like this?

But you can like just make qr builds and that'll be fine

[kind sinew]

Hmm, Haunt? eh

[wraith idol]

only qr and sj is like 100% needed in tetras

[kind sinew]

The QR is a good idea tho

[wraith idol]

yeah haunt cuz cooler mostly and callouts

since it has rp features and you tend to die a bit

the inkres and ssu isn't 100% needed, bdef is a 50-50 optional thing I think

also qsj is good for jumping in and out

[kind sinew]

So here's the idea then

[wraith idol]

if you want I'll give you my s2 build

[kind sinew]

this good?

Sadly doesn't give me room for

hmm, can anyone else give a second opinion?

@wraith idol Know anyone who could help?

[wraith idol]

no not really why do you want

also hang on

@forest zodiac

here bro help me out

also you need

it's not optional

you need it

[kind sinew]

Two autobombs on full tank and more reefslider

[wraith idol]

yeah you want to use your main

like unless I guess in turf war or like C rank

how bad is NA EU C rank

[kind sinew]

I'm in A

[wraith idol]

yeah don't run that in A please

it's about as funny as seeing an liter running ninja squid

[kind sinew]

I thought Autobomb no longer sucked in this game

guess some things never change

[wraith idol]

nope

actually might actually suck even more

[kind sinew]

Cooooooool

[wraith idol]

iirc all bombs got a 4DU nerf

kek

[kind sinew]

Okay so axe all of the bomb stuff

and just

Pure

Pure

and with three

[wraith idol]

you don't strictly need ssu

well yeah that's fine then

I guess

[kind sinew]

any other recommendations? I am realizing and remembering I know nothing about this game

Because it's new

[wraith idol]

did you play s2

[kind sinew]

I've been playing since the s1 testfire

played the whole of 2

got S rank in Tower and Zones

[wraith idol]

how do you know less than me

like no offense

but ???

[kind sinew]

Legit I am not sure

[wraith idol]

uhhhh

well

I only run ssu cuz i run that on chargers

tetras don't usually run ssu

same with inkres but i guess you can since you don't have mpu dependency anymore

[kind sinew]

I think I am all fundamentals and nothing else

[wraith idol]

also that you will have less consistent falloff but yeah

[kind sinew]

Tetras I picked up in this game because I don't have to worry about the funny ability

you know the one

[wraith idol]

yeah

indirectly buffed all the dualies

[kind sinew]

So now I have a whole class I don't know what to do with

[wraith idol]

I see

yeah like what I've seen I qr/sj builds

for tets

[kind sinew]

and I guess autobombs are always designated to "Make their anchor move" again this game

[wraith idol]

I used to run this for tetras

but since cooler exists I like haunt rn

[kind sinew]

haunt just feels like a joke to me

Like it was bad in 1, bad in 2, and now I just

assume it is bad but I guess it's okay now???

Also was so heavily nerfed from one I still feel wrong using it

[wraith idol]

oh

if someone is in haunt and you splat them they get respawn punished

it's like rp but without the problem of you getting rp

[kind sinew]

Yeah I know

...there have been no shoes in the shop for me

[wraith idol]

oof

sadge

[kind sinew]

back to the N-Zap

I feel like everyone is gonna have a pocket N-Zap in this game

[wraith idol]

I'm not

I aCtually can't play zap

[kind sinew]

Zap is so basic tho

[wraith idol]

I can't handle having rng

I get pissed

[kind sinew]

you just kinda paint for the special, hang back and only take battles if you need to

Oh and use that bomb to shred shields

I still use

Please do not tell me it's bad in this game

[wraith idol]

it's not I don't think so no

tacticooler is busted

also why I run rp

[wraith idol]

yeah and also I can't deal with rng

all my pockets and all my mains don't have rng/has a no RNG mode

I really dislike the fact I could be aiming at someone and then they don't die cuz of rng

[dawn tundra]

Use something like this

[wraith idol]

why the fuck

you'll be sliding 80% of the time why do you need ssu

[uneven sundial]

gruh!

[wraith idol]

@dawn tundra tell me please

[dawn tundra]

Stealth jump is still good to have

[wraith idol]

everything else except values and qr then

[dawn tundra]

?

[wraith idol]

wdym ?

[dawn tundra]

What do you mean

[wraith idol]

explain everything that's not sj and values

[dawn tundra]

U just said everything else

[uneven sundial]

he means explain why so much and

[wraith idol]

and

[dawn tundra]

Just how much I run when I play front line weapons

[wraith idol]

this ig?

?????

okay you do you bro

[dawn tundra]

Just a nice value to have lol

I think it’s 9% saved

[wraith idol]

it has either shark in s3 or sd and chicken rush in s2

what are you saving for?

suicide specials?

[dawn tundra]

Shark

Wait is this for s2?

[forest zodiac]

As a tetras man I can confirm that you only 100% need qr and sj (with the absence of mpu)

You can get kinda creative with any free space you have since the rest doesn’t really matter

But I don’t think you need sub saver personally

[wraith idol]

you know shark is dogshit esp with the shitty lag right?

[forest zodiac]

Reef slider?

It’s not good but it’s not bad either imo

I still like it more than splashdown lol

I’ve been hearing a lot of top players say they dislike it tho

[forest zodiac]

Also I think 3 subs of qr makes more sense than 2 if I’m remembering the graph correctly

[dawn tundra]

That’s fair

When I run weapons like that tho I run no qr and just hella value subs with ss

[forest zodiac]

Also tetras don’t need ink res either

So if you wanted you could replace that with a sub of qr

[forest zodiac]

I see I see

[wraith idol]

one thing it's worse than sd: it doesn't cancel bomber

things it's better than sd: everything else

just move out the way

[forest zodiac]

Yeah I reallllllly wish they couldn’t bomb your explosion lol that sucks

[wraith idol]

legit got cancelled halfway into my slide cuz like that fucker was so laggy

bruh I'm moving

[forest zodiac]

I have a question actually

[wraith idol]

agreed, I just run it cuz

1. I have space to do it
2. I run it on charger and I got used to it

[forest zodiac]

Has anyone tested the effects of spu with the specials?

[forest zodiac]

That’s fair. Once you get the main stuff out of the way you can basically run whatever you want lol

I just want sj shoes with swim speed so I can use ns more cuz it’s so fun

Or maybe I could just do a ns swim top

Decisions decisions

[wraith idol]

yeah just a thing I'm used to, I still don't recommend it

[wraith idol]

I prefer haunt ngl

cuz cooler my behated

[forest zodiac]

That is completely understandable lmao

Cooler respawners are so annoying to deal with

And they get special so fast

[wraith idol]

I'm actually considering rp vcharger ngl

[forest zodiac]

Chargers are insanely strong rn you should run rp lol

There is no real charger counter atm (unless you count missiles ig)

Chargers eating good frfr

[wraith idol]

reef-lux mains can hold my balls

[dawn tundra]

Dude I started running reef-lux after I went 0-9 against an eliter

[forest zodiac]

REAL

When I see em doing that painting tech I’m like 🤬

[wraith idol]

skill issues

[dawn tundra]

It’s high key boring

All u do is farm

[forest zodiac]

I would also say skill issue, but then again when I’m mad I play 52 and KO every match 🙃

Cheat weapon

[wraith idol]

@forest zodiac

[wraith idol]

I play splash cuz i have aim

oops!

[forest zodiac]

Thank you!!!!

[wraith idol]

yw

[forest zodiac]

I mean I can do it with splash too, but rp 52 tends to get my immense hatred for ranked across better 😈

[wraith idol]

like rp splash doesn't?

I have crab as well

[forest zodiac]

It doessss but it’s not as unfair as IA 52 lol

IA 52 is evil

You remember that charger tofu 😈

When I jumped off tower

That should not have killed lmao

[wraith idol]

LMFAO

[forest zodiac]

Anyways time to watch this informational video

[wraith idol]

me killing a glooga falling off a ledge

kek

I'll show you later

[forest zodiac]

Noooo rip gloogas ;-;

Also why is spu so bad on some of these specials lmao

A couple extra seconds on zooka? Fuck are we supposed to do with that 💀💀

[forest zodiac]

That gloogas kill was hardddd ngl

All that and still no zone cap tho 💀

[wraith idol]

yeah that's ranked for you

[forest zodiac]

😪

[wraith idol]

now you know why i had that 27kill gAme and won even if we had a d"

*dc

Jesus

[forest zodiac]

Yep lmao

I see you

[wraith idol]

also this i was running inkres so i gues incredibly situational inkres is good

[wraith idol]

shitting and sobbing (real)

[forest zodiac]

Yep exactly, verryyyyyy situational. If this wasn’t soloq it would be a big overextend, which is kinda why ink res isn’t advised. You don’t wanna be that far out all the time lol

Even as tetras. You’re just feeding at that point

[wraith idol]

haha soloq sucks balls
