I've noticed a reasonable number of newer players as well as some returning ones showing up in the past couple of weeks. With Christmas about a month away, there'll be even more new players.
I was going to make a couple of images that show, for a variety of common weapons, a set of suggested pieces of gear with their onbrand rolls -> suggested abilities. This acts as a cookie cutter guide for new players, allowing them to easily put together a reasonable ability build. My concern about this is that it would inhibit their willingness to come up with their own builds and that sort of thing, as well as people inevitably disagreeing with it.
I know there is already that large suggested ability guide, but I think a significant portion of it is wrong, and there's also 0 justification for why a certain ability is good for a certain weapon, e.g Bomb Sniffer .96 Deco.
Thoughts?
There is nothing wrong with Rainmaker mode.

I think that most new squibs will be kids, so it won't be overly necessary. That said, I do think such a thing would be really nice to have /in general/, so I think it'd be a good project to put together regardless.

>Rainmaker distance drops from 99 points away from the goal to 33
>When the player touched the Rainmaker while it's perfectly in the center of the map
It's a glitch. If you land directly onto the Rainmaker while jumping, the counter will move to where you were positioned before you took the leap despite the Rainmaker itself not having budged an inch.
>>122635468
The set is so much of a crutch I feel bad using Damage ups. And that sailor seifuku is pretty good for the weapon. Also my MkI set is pretty ugly. Pic related.

I bought the game a week agoand can't get higher than C+so I would appreciate a basic info dump and can think of some points to address for new players.
Just basic stuff like:
>Y Weapon class is usually suited for X role
>Y abilities are useful for X
>Brand bonuses are X and do Y.
Not so much ability/gear loadouts but more general information in the one image so people can see what sort of thing they can use a starting point for their gear.
I'm still not sure on which skills are "Evasion+3 in Monster Hunter" useful and which are "Putting flame stickers on your bike to make it go faster" useful.

The most well-rounded weapons in the game are the Tentatek Splattershot, .52 Gal, and .96 Gal deco. Start with one of them and discover your preferences.

Oh, I just meant for new players who aren't sure of what they want yet.
I've already got my preference.Heavy Splatling gives me fun for days and the victory animation when my Squid hugs it is adorable.
>>122636274
Heavy Splatling is a good weapon on certain map/mode combos, but it falls down on a bunch. I wouldn't really call it a weapon you can 'main' on every map/mode combo.
>>122636274
splatling is the best gun. don't let /ink/ tell you otherwise.
>>122636175
Bro
>>122636428
I'm becoming more aware of the maps/modes it doesn't work well.
I change it up when I don't think it will be as useful, I just really love using it when I can.
I'm loving the game so far. I can see myself playing for a very long time.
>>122636274
Quick Respawn, Run Speed, and Swim Speed will always be useful if you don't know what else to use.
Splatlings are like a slightly worse charger that can be more offensive at closer ranges. Like most other weapons, you just abuse the range advantage you have over other weapons or retreat and flank if they outrange you.

Ink Recovery
Special Saver
Ink Resistance
Cold-Blooded
Quick Respawn
Useful abilities that are somewhat weapon-specific:
Damage Up
Bomb Range Up
Special Charge Up
Opening Gambit
Tenacity
Ink Saver Main
Run Speed
Abilities that should be avoided unless you know what you're doing, and have a specific use in mind:
Ink Saver Sub
Defense Up
Special Duration
Ninja Squid
Other useful abilities that aren't bad, but aren't amazing either:
Comeback
Haunt
Bomb Sniffer

>You're an idiot
No I'm not. Defense Up is mediocre.
Honestly, I've done a lot of trial and experimentation with all of the abilities, I make customized loadouts for every weapon that I use, and IMO, Defense Up is shit.
People seem to think that they're magically going to survive everything like a tank when they stack a bunch of Defense Ups, when it only really helps with a few weapons, and marginally so in those cases. Sure, you might survive a Blaster's air-burst if you're in the edge of the explosion both times it hits, you might survive a partial charge from an E-Litre (You only need around one main to do this though), and you might possibly survive a Roller's flick when you're 3 lines away and already damaged.
What it won't help with is shooters; the Tentatek has such a fast fire rate that the difference between 3 and 4 shots to kill is a tenth of a second. If they get a clear shot, they're going to kill you every time. It might help with the 52 Gal, but they run Damage Ups most of the time.
The main reason that it sucks is opportunity cost. You have to run 3 mains' worth or more to get the best results, and you can't use other abilities if you do that. All of the other abilities are just so much more useful that you end up gimping yourself just so you can maybe possibly survive some incidental damage or a charger shot.
Even worse, I see people using Defense Up without Ink Resistance.
Just use Swim Speed and/or Run Speed instead. Higher agility lets you swim away quickly, move around faster and be harder to hit, etc.

sorrydude.storyI was never a gamer. grade school was some pretty fun times up until early high school in about tenth grade when i wound up with the cool kids and started partying. hard, and it first started with drinking, then weed, then i got into the harder stuff like lsd. I had a seizure at age 17. my dad left the family and my brother killed himself out of anxiety and from mental disorder. fell into a harsh state of depression that i was only able to overcome when i met this girl from my japanese class. she was so nice and so beautiful with long blonde hair. she treated me so nice wne i couldnt wish for anything else. then i got into drugs again from peerpressure and everything went to shit again. my girl left me and i was so fucking frustrated at myself that i cut myself and tried to hang myself. in tears, my mother stopped me. i was brought into counseling. i had to convince my psychologist i didnt want to kill myself but deep down i still was suicidal. i couldnt even focus on my fucking school work, so i dropped out in eleventh grade. i left my mother to live on my own, living on welfare and my shitty ass job at some fucking drugstore. every night i drank and cried myself to sleep, only spiraling my depression into a deeper state. i want to end my life. i cant live any longer. i go into my closet to get the rope, tie the noose and get a chair. just before i loop my head i get a call.it's just a telemarketer. I tell him to go fuck himself, and after that i just think about my whole life. why am i here. what ever happened to the happy me, full of life and charismatic. i look in the mirror and all i see is a fucking mess. an acne ridden, below average looking cunt. a no life scum. in the middle of everything. i hear a knock at my door, probably my chinese landlord demanding rent. i put on some pants walk up to the door and look through the peephole, but see no one. then i open the door.it's JOHN CENA
Finally picked up the Tentatek. I didnt know this game had an easy mode!

This gamemode and rotation really speaks to me. Anyone around up for a twin squad, or even better a quad squad if you're feeling really lucky?

I don't think you need damage up, it takes like 3 def main to make the dual Squelcher a 5 shot, and usually people don't stack that much.

You could run at least one bomb range up main to be able to take advantage of your max range more. Ink Recovery is good too. I personally always run a combination of at least 1 Ink saver sub and 1 or 2 ink saver mains (depending on the map) whenever I use the dual squelcher. Before you dismiss as Ink saver sub as being totally useless like everyone else does, you should realize that it pairs really well with ink saver main when you switch between using your sub and main weapon. Try to think of these abilities as making your ink tank larger rather than making your sub/main weapons more efficient.
1 ink saver sub main reduces the ink usage of your sub weapon by 8%. Which means your tank has an extra 8% of ink left immediately after using your sub, and that your sub weapon costs 8% less ink to use. Having more ink left in your tank obviously makes having Ink saver main more worthwhile than if you weren't running Ink saver sub. Basically Ink saver sub when combined with ink saver main allows you to stay in a fight and keep shooting a little bit longer right after using your sub weapon, like a splash wall or a splat bomb like with the DS. You can go without using Ink saver sub just fine but it does benefit you if you like using your sub a lot in between shooting.
And Ink Recovery is just as efficient as Ink saver main actually. But an advantage that Ink saver main has is that no matter how much ink you have left, you'll have more use out of your main weapon before you run out of ink if that makes any sense.
Ultimately depends on your play style on how you use your weapon to know which abilities will help you maximize your ink efficiency.

why are mariefags so mean?
>>122656103
I'm still low levelled and can't re-roll stats yet. Trust me, I'm gonna re-roll a shit ton once I get there, but for now my main focus is on leveling up.

So what is with that splattershot jr + stack fuckloads of run speed meme? Is that some new weird jap meta or something?
>>122656184
Common jealousy, or seeing the nemesis suffer has become a fetish.

That's a death sentence you fuck!
>>122656415
Yes, that's what he meant
Damage up nerf when?
Why are Octolings so stupid
>>122656246
Super fast Bubbler to compensate for shitty range.
Or you could just, you know, Kraken.
>>122656649
we may never know
>>122656723
But why now, i don't remember this shit being used so much before and basically every game i played yesterday had at least one of those
>>122656649
They don't have schools underground. Octolings don't know how to read or count. Just shoot.
Marie!
So why people generally use octoshot over tentakek if they can? Isn't the octoshot the carbon copy of tentakek? Just for looks/to show rank?
>>122657098
it apparently has lower shot sound
I like to imagine tentacles are so sensitive they're basically giant clits hanging off your head

>>122657164
>>122657164
At best they're as sensitive as the back of your neck
>>122657164
>Callie's drag along the ground
>>122657164
I assume the sensitivity would be restricted to the tentacles' undersides
Hosting Squads again!

I feel you. Try doing that with a even bigger clumsier roller, I have died like that countless times. Rollers and tower mechanics are just terrible.
>>122657190
How can somebody have 150 subs and never clear 10 views a video?
