How To Be Useful With REEF-LUX 450 | Support Guide Splatoon 3 

Yes, exactly. Hoping for new stringers besides the current two as well, but s new version of the reef would be awesome for this reason. It's really underrated because of it being pinned a missile spammer. Not effective use of it's potential.

But Reeflux has a good kit and most people wont use alternates

They should automatically, like the splatana Which was already good the way it once was🤧

i think it already has a good support kit, but for a more agressive one, Torpedo + Inkstorm or Ultra Stamp

Burst/auto bomb and tri strike would probably be my ideal kit

I got a 12-2 game in a turf war if u want to see some reef-lux gameplay (no crazy snipes but a lot of skirmishing)

I’m trying to learn this weapon WITHOUT special spamming and it’s difficult so far but way more fun than just spamming missiles

@@Checkerchamp I agree, it is incredibly difficult to use this weapon. With an exception to e-liter and splat charger (and snipewriter I guess) it is the number 1 hardest weapon to use (at least in my opinion) when you are playing it as a sweeper/skirmisher. I can't give a perfect tip for getting better but the the best I have are 1. Horizontal Shot = Chip Damage (also recommend to use this when arcing your shots arcoss objects) Vertical Shot = OHKO 2. Short hop for vertical shots. This will reduce the amount of frames you are vulnerable mid-air. To do this, release the b-button as soon as you press it. Be warned, for an actual vertical shot and not a sideways one don't shoot until you are at the peak of your jump or are falling from the peak. 3. Aim a little higher than the center of an opponet. If you are used to aiming at opponents feet (you will likely have this problem if you main weapons like splattershot, sploosh, aerospray, etc. where the weapon often has rng issues.) when doing vertical shots. When shooting horizontally it's completely different where you need to imagine your shot hitting as close to the center point of your enemy as possible while predicting their movement (dw about doing this in your head, you're likely already doing this automatically, just be aware of this fact.) 4. You likely know this, but you can hold charges (and about 1 second too.) That is more than enough time to do a squid roll with a full charge if you ever need to get out of a sticky situation and don't have a good aim on that one slayer who just won't get off your ass. 5. Probably the most important one to me, but take your time and don't try to be snappy with aiming. Unlike charges enemies can't actually see your line of sight so you don't need to be super fast with aim, even under pressure. If you move too fast you will miss a lot more so try to focus at around the level you would for a charger on aim and watch your enemies movement patterns. Last thing to know is that you are likely going to lose far more confrontations than you win because killing with the reef-lux is SUPER hard. You basically need a shot even stricter than a charger on an enemy that is rushing at you or swimming side to side and you can only fire around once per second. With all of that in mind, you will probably lose 7/10 1v1s, and that's assuming you have top years of experience with this game (but when you do get that win it feels sooooo satisfying.) If you have any more questions or want some more advice just say so, hope this all helps you. I want to see this weapon get played more agressively myself and now that most people dropped it after the tenta missle nerf it's a great time to fix the reputation of this fun weapon.

@@jermm2183 I got the game for Christmas so I’m still getting used to the game (well the new functions at least: I had around 600 hours in Splatoon 2). However, I’ll keep as much of this as possible (especially the taking time under pressure point) in mind as I learn. Thank you so much for being so willing to help out!

@@Checkerchamp my pleasure!

I made a Tri-Stringer video a while back. I almost exclusively played it getting to S+. So fun ^^ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s0Re_9c88hQ.html Glad you liked the Reef-lux video ;)

Zones Mincemeat is a mess. You'll have Missile spam the whole time, zone capping 24/7, backlines that you cannot challenge. Easily one of the worse maps for zones ^^. On the very same stream I showcased the reeflux I played it, the weapon felt good with ninja squid, just bad map. Ironically, I find Reeflux to be mediocre in zones, since it can't challenge a lot up close. I find it better for "pushing" objectives or maps where you CAN push for Zones.

I read this comment literally Right before a splat zones match in mincemeat metalworks. I did it and got 3 kills in the span of 3 seconds 😎

@@agcori4011 Lol I turned off the game when I saw Mincemeat Zones in rotation 30 minutes ago.

Do note that you can still OHKO something with just the horizontal shots, just harder to hit.

I interchangeably use a cam or a the png-tuber depending on the video and mood ^^ Glad you enjoy the video !

@@Seggtor that's valid!!! I'm just a huge fan of seals cx The video was great though!

It’s so fun playing as offense with it instead of staying back
