Since i have been too aggressive with splatlings i thought i should give this one a try.

But since its basically a shooter but also a splatling im unsure what abilities to have with it.

Right now i have on

Hat: ab_iru ab_ism ab_ism ab_inkres

Shirt: ab_ti ab_ism ab_rsu ab_blank

Shoes: ab_sj ab_rsu ab_rsu ab_qsj

But i know this isn't optimal but im unsure what abilities to use, should i put ab_ia on it becauseim meant to be jumping with it like a shooter? ab_qr? ab_scu because of the changes to stamp?

Im just not sure

it looks alright but you need way more run speed
mini, and most splatlings as well, run like 50- 70% run speed because its its most beneficial ability and doesnt really need too much else
do use ab_ia as even if jumping isnt as reliable as standing fire, its a good mixup during fights that can save your life a few times, and its not all that inaccurate for what you get in return
i say use something along these lines
ab_rsu ab_rsu ab_rsu ab_rsu
ab_rsu ab_ia ab_ia ab_ism
ab_sj ab_inkres ab_inkres ab_qsj

ab_scu may be beneficial depending on if the new hammer is like actually worth farming like that, but it is 190p which isnt too much

that singular sub of ab_ism helps you finish off that seventh charge that you just barely miss out on when firing all your ink in one go

#

also on ab_ti its just a bad ability dont use it unless you love bloblobber

You can also just not have the ia in and just use a sub of sru ss for that

less moving faster, moreso slowing down less

#

with how much time you spend walking out of ink its very good on all weapons to run at least one sub of ab_inkres

#

but its especiall important on splatlings

And makes it so you aren't trapped or perhaps get caught off guard, that makes sense.

What makes termal ink not good for mini-splatlings? I took it because i didn't trust my aim and if i nick them i could locate them better and know where to aim.

But perhaps thats faulty reasoning and instead just moving faster helps a lot more

Because thermal is only optional on weapons where it actually gets to take advantage of its own range - mini isn't capable of doing that. I can count on one hand the number of weapons that can use thermal ink, and that's not a good metric tbh.

Usually you can't take advantage of the effects because you're often going to be fighting a lot more closer so you don't get to use its effects most of the time at all, and sometimes you can just, kill the enemy.

every time ti can get value is just avoided by straight up killing the enemy on 99% of weapons

#

unless it can 1) proc the ability
2) probably not kill in the process
3) abuse the maps terrain to actually secure that kill
all without changing how the weapons played its kinda pointless

tough lion
#

Basically it leaves like some midrange shooters with decent accuracy and some long range shooters that aren't chargers

#

it's a very small number that can take advantage of it

shut sundial
#

I see so its more for things like blasters

tough lion
#

This is why it's awful on blasters and explosher, which you'd assume it'd be good for, but it's not

winter bear
#

it would be good on blasters and explo… if it worked lmao

shut sundial
#

So is it intended or just a bug? I assume intended to not work

winter bear
#

i dont know anymore just dont use it

#

all u meed to know

#

its been a thing since the ability was introduced

tough lion
#

Intended, because it requires you to directly hit the enemy, if you imagine it that way, since explosher can activate it like some other blasters, but only if you direct the enemy
