Top 5 Most UNDERATED Weapons In Splatoon 3... 

reeflux mains are actually so terrifying to fight 😭😭 they look at you and then you die

Crazy how bamboo was considered to have one of the worst kits it could have at the start of the game but now is very good

Glooga dualies are SO underrated imo. The main weapon bullies anything shorter range than it, wall helps it possition far more aggressively than it could without it and booyah bomb is booyah bomb, the special works on pretty much everything. Super underrated weapon that im kinda sad to see nobody talk about.

DYNAMO MAINS RISE TO THE TOP

The Dread Wringer mains multiplying like crazy the moment it gets a kit without Reefslider in like 3 weeks (people’s biased will evaporate instantly) (EDIT: Okay but the way that people were only interested because Chara said it had to have Torpedo is FUNNY)

As a Stamper main, can confirm REEF-LUX is an extremely difficult matchup, and I have huge respect for that thing now that people are getting good with it. Not only can it just delete you any time you go to charge/fire, the 2-hit > tap shot combo is so easy to land, and it can stay incredibly mobile in combat to adjust its range and angle. The wall one is actually significantly scarier to fight (the wall and slider punish for screwing up your positioning at all are really dangerous), but obviously that offers significantly less to the team as a whole than missiles. It's not like REEF-LUX sees no play; it's on basically every team in the final rounds of Koshien now, and has been for several events in a row AFAIK.

REEFLUX IN THUMBNAIL

Bamboo is such a cool weapon definitely one of my favorite chargers hope the new kit is good

I was so happy when you mentioned mini, reeflux and bamboo as I’ve been playing them quite a lot recently

I see mini splatting in the thumbnail THATS MY GOAT RIGHT THERE!

reeflux mentioned!!! people underestimate this weapon so much especially on how fast it is both in movement and kill time(i dont remember clearly but i think its the fastest one in game actually!) . the current perception of this weapon is frustrating because most people i see that pick up reef usually play very passive/supportive even though it really shines when you use it more as a close quarters skirmisher.

Reeflux definitely deserved to be mentioned. That weapon is scary if it gets up close.

Oh my god! I've been playing with the Reef-lux for months, and let me tell you it’s one of the most fun weapons to use in the game! I'm so happy you decided to talk about it, since I do think that it is very underrated.

The Dread Wringer's song choice was pretty cool ngl (Level is called Dead Ringer iirc)

I think what I love so much about the Dread Wringer is it's so different to play. The constant flicking to get it to cover more turf is unique and fun to just, well, zone out with heh

Zimi is my Main! I love this wep so much and its so strong if you use it well!

Tri stringer is one of the underrated weapon imo, it's fun once you get used to it

Dread's second kit is gonna go crazy, I can just feel it. And Bamboo should never be slept on. They like to really mix up the kits on it each game and it has always found its place.

Dead Ringer music in the Dread Wringer section :) love to see it

i swear stringers will ALWAYS find you

Espero que seas consiente del impacto que tenes en el juego. Muchas cosas de las que decís acaban en resultados positivos, hiciste que muchos usaran la wiper, la BP y ahora el sorella brella, eso es genial, haces que la gente experimente un poco con las armas y no se cierre en el meta que haya. Gracias por tus aportes y esfuerzos en la comunidad, ojalá que alguno de la comunidad hispana cree el mismo tipo de contenido que tú.

Reef-lux is really strong if you can aim with it. Like imagine charger hitting all their shots, but up-close. If you can't aim, it's weak, period.

Reefslider is my fav special in the game so seeing the dread in the list makes me so happy!!!

I love the song choice for the dread section

I'm glad Dread Wringer is finally getting the love it deserves. It's been one of my mains since it released, and it's such a fun weapon to play.

Imagine if dread had burst bomb and wave breaker. That could be terrifying

reflux randomly one shotting you is scary

2:41 "it is an insanely reliable kill up close" Meanwhile last night I hit a guy who was right next to me and in the middle of my hitbox yet he didnt die. Very functional weapon 👍 Gold dynamo is also very underrated imo. The bomb helps a lot with long range poking, and chumps can... uh... *flips through notes* help combo with the main weapon? Yeah, we'll go with that

Between fighting them and playing them myself, I have to agree, all these weapons do feel underated. You know what else feels underated? The aggressive potential of Mini's first kit. I understand why, because Ultra Stamp's protection hitbox is a coin flip as to whether it works or not, (on top of the Burst Bomb nurfs hurting it immensely) but the kit works better than people give it credit for.

Thank you so much for making this video bamboo is now my new main, one flaw though, It doesn’t make the pop sound when it hits people.

Been running QR/Comeback/Drop Roller on Dread since week 1, and I'm happy that it's finally gonna get the respect it deserves because you're posting about it lol

I use n-zap 85 on RM, cuz of it's kit. I also use ink saver main & sub + special power up on that mode, and I've won a lot of matches with those abilities and with the n-zap 85.

I’ve been a dynamo main (specifically gold) since I got the weapon in Splatoon 1. And I am so happy it got buffed! However one thing I have to point out, the RNG on its swings has killed me so many times in this game, even point blank swings to the face can miss because the ink decided to make a V pattern, missing the guy straight in front of me and going all to the left and right of him instead. So while the RNG can still be brutal sometimes, the buff definitely helps its consistency for kills when the ink pattern decides to work with you. If anyone has documented a way to make the ink splatters more consistent, someone please let me know.

The Krak-On splat roller is SO underrated. With Kraken it can cover more ground and mitigate enemy ink, so you can essentially just mosey on by enemy players to paint other areas.

I'd say all the rollers are pretty underrated. This is from a casual player so I'll probably get a few details wrong. The splat rollers are pretty versatile and I've found success both sharking and being aggressive. The vroller can hide in it's bubble and it's range goes out of the bubble, allowing it to lock out areas, and the curling bomb helps with scouting and movement. The krak-on is more of a rat weapon, for me at least. I use flanks to sneak into the enemy area, set up beakons and attack from behind. The kraken also works as a tool to clean opponents out of certain areas that you may need for pushing or objectives. The dynamo rollers also have alot of potential as you said in the video, it can hide in hard to get areas and lock itself in, becoming basically a block. The sprinkler can help with paint for area control and trapping opponents and the tacticooler is a great support option basically making a team unstoppable for a short amount of time. While gold dynamo does the same things as vdynamo, it has bombs as a get-off-me tool and chumps for cleaning areas needed to push. Carbon roller is fast and very aggressive and it's fast speed is complimented by it's autobomb, which can be used for scouting, cleaning, and a get-off-me tool in fights. The zipcaster can be dangerous and it allows the carbon roller to be alot more risky with it's moves, but caution is still needed. The deco's burst bomb is an amazing combo that lets you nearly insta kill opponents, it also helps with movement and chip damage from afar. The zooka matches it's aggressive power by forcing opponents to either run or attack, both a risky move. The flingza has the range of dynamo and the speed of a splat roller. It's painting power and range lets it safely charge and use missles from farther away. It has mines for defense, scouting and chip damage. The big swigs.... uhhh... they participated.

i was hoping to see big swig but I really love this video!

Dynamo is my second fav weapon but I havent had a chance to try the newets buff. Glad to hear this

nobody mentioned splat roller with curling and bubbler

You brought up 3 weapons i main, thank you for giving them life :D

Gloogas. Thats it. Thats the message

I’ve picked up dynamo ever since the buff and man, it feels so awesome to use. A sick buff for it would be if you can jump higher with it like the buff Undercover just recently got, and the vertical flick dealing more damage/removed from the game… the vertical flick is a curse in close quarters combat.

zmini is a weapon ive recently wanted to start pushing recently, since i used a lot of vanilla jr on release which fits a similar role, im realizing that zmini has some of the fighting capabilities that jr was missing inevitably making me start enjoying the weapon

I like how slider is such a consistent kit killer

Great vid chara. Like always.

I just won a zone series with Dread, so I'm a believer!

I am hoping so hard that Dynamo gets a good paint buff in the future, I'd LOVE to see it become a revelant Cooler option in the future

Nice informative video! (more like this pls c:)

4:21 I was the one using Splatana wiper in background, it was pleasure to fight on same team with u :)

Mini splatling my beloved

I'm happy Dynamo Mains can actually have a functioning hotbox, and I'm in love with bamboo lol

Hello-! I just got into Splatoon 3-- around 2 months ago, so far am enjoying your vids so much-! I mained the Bamboozler since Splatoon 1 and 2, would love to see the "How to Boozler" video like the Brella eventually, loved the Brella and this video. Thanks-! ••• Random video idea : can you rank the specials in Splatoon 1 / Splatoon 2 at the end of their metas? Thanks! ^^)

The reeflux 90 hit is so much more consistent now after its buff, I just wish it had a sub weapon that could combo off of it, or even a special like rain that could do that bit of chip damage. but i guess i'll just have to hope people run into a wall. or stub their toe on a curling bomb.

I've always loved disrubbler and having ZiMi feels pretty good, it's a really fun kit, I just hope for mist buffs

Ive been playong around with the Zink Mini lately and its REALLY fun. Toxic mist is surprisingly effective to get backliners like chargers and hydras to move and the main weapon is probably the easiest Splatling to use with my playstyle! I love being a lil goblin

Not... really a big fan of the Dynamo Roller, because of how heavy the swings are; reminding me of similar, heavier weapons I've tried wielding in other games. Although it's downright CRAZY how I've seen some people put the Dynamo Roller to work, running some of the builds I vaguely remember. In a few online matches in ranked and turf in 2 or 3.

seeing 2 weapons i use alot (zink and dread) make it on this list makes me tear up im proud 🥲🥲

I do agree with the list. There are some weapons that I just don't really see anyone and when I see other people play with them, they're actually pretty great with that weapon. For example, zink mini splatling is a weapon that doesn't really have a good kit (mist and big bubbler) AT first glance, but weapon play style is that, it's a frontline defense weapon because of what the weapon kit offers. I also feel some weapons that are fun (regardless of competitive or causal play), sure reef-lux isn't as good as it was at the start of the game, but I still enjoyed it. One last thing, I do find that dread has an interesting concept of throwing out 2 sloshes rather than 1 and at first not a ton of players were picking this weapon (from my perspective), but it's been growing on popularity around the community. Thanks for reading this.

Nice, I tend to periodically use 3 out of the 5 weapons here (Dynamo, Bamboozler, Dringer). My Dynamo dropped off for a bit, but I suppose I'll have to really re-look at the damage output.

The main deal with bamboo is it has never had a bad kit. The worst possible kit was all the way back in splat 1 with splash wall wail. Even then, It was still really good. Not to mention Splatoon 2's godly kits

I’ve been using the New S-Blast kit and I love it. Just be prepared to never have booyah bomb unless you’re running special charge.

Just imagine the combos and movement a burst bomb would give to reef-lux, the squiffer that can hit over walls.

I love playing Tri-Stringer, but I do switch over to the Reef-LUX from time to time. It's just so much fun and can splat really well! (If you can aim.)

As a dread wringer player since it came out I'm glad it's finally beginning to get the attention it deserves. Here's hoping they don't fumble the second kit.

I think vimi is also pretty underrated Idc if stamp has some issues it still a fine entry special. Not even mentioning burst which just works so well with it

I think wiper is also pretty underrated, especially the base kit, for a lot of the same reasons as dread wringer. It can output some pretty decent paint, has a great combo sub, stupidly good mobility, can bully anything with a shorter range than it but can also go for a close-up oneshot against something like a blaster. The only thing that really weighs down the kit is stamp, and if stamp had front invincibility, it'd be pretty perfect imo

I think a pretty underrated weapon is the Painbrush. Both kits are fine, but I think the newest one is better than the original. It does really good damage up close and can reach really far with its fast attack rate. Obviously it’s only problem is the build up before attacking, but from what I’ve learned from using it, it’s better at ambushing people or splatting people while they’re distracted, and if someone tries to attack you while you’re still attacking, you’ll most likely end up splatting the other person too. Some other things to mention is it’s AOE, which is good for splatting groups of people, and the fact you can splat people easily over ledges and walls. In short, this weapon has the same potential as dynamo IF it gets its wind up shortened.

Bro put rapid deco in the thumbnail and talked about boozler instead. 😂

I immediately picked up dread during drizzle season '23 and it was probably the weapon I had the most fun with during the entirety of the game's lifespan. Reefslider into enemy territory. Paint everything in like 2 seconds. Get another reefslider. Break spawn armor. Die, qr, stealth, rinse and repeat

Conditions have been ripe for Dynamo for a long time. The mere move to S3 gives it numerous additional movement options it’s never had before, as well as an excellent kit from the start. I’ve mained Dynamo for over six years, the main problem it faces is the very high dedication that’s required to understand the way it puts out damage. In terms of buffs, however… that whiting frame buff was a godsend, and gave me a lot of hope for S3’s Dynamo viability. I’m proud to be one of the few competitive players pushing both kits, as they’re both excellent support weapons. Craft your gear around their kits and you can really bring out their strengths. Only a buff or two away from being highly desirable in comps

Im not in comp yet, but id love to use dread as one of if not my main weapon, but its kit kinda limits that. Personally id like to see it get beakon and crab. Most people want dread to get a combo tool and while i wouldnt complain, burst would just be broken and I think dread doesnt really need a poking or combo sub and beakon is good for cooler meta too. Crab is both and aggressive and defensive tool that would be able to combo with dread, plus distance pressure while keeping up your good painting capabilities.

The crazy thing about Dread Wringer to me is that we still haven't gotten a second kit for it yet, so it's worth speculating what kind of combos it might get with that second kit. (Yes, I know Bamboo hasn't gotten its second kit yet either, but unlike Dread, its current kit is already pretty synergistic, while Dread's only synergy is with Reefslider.)

i used to be so good at the reef-lux, i might just have to return to it >:)

as a recently starting reeflux main, it definitely was a bit tough to play with at first, but i’ve reached S rank with it & and it’s pretty fun to play with, if only it had a better sub rather than curling bombs

I agree on the Dread Wringer. It's easily my second favorite Slosher (V Slosher is my main). One weapon I think is a bit underrated is the vanilla Nova. Sure, the damage is a mess, but it has good range and manueverability.

as a diehard dynamo main seeing the devs actually give it attention and.. acknowledge it was a win enough but its damage buff has me having the most fun i've had w it in a while!!!

I remember chara saying at some point that wail doesn't do anything for bamboo. Then they buffed wail LMAO and now I get constant mpu flashbacks

I kinda think that Splatoon 3 is more chaotic, but more fun!!!😊

I agree, reflux is so underrated, I’m actually trying to get five stars on that weapon because I love it, I think it has some unused potential what someone really is unlock goes for all of these weapons actually i’m hoping dread will get a good kit next season you know me with reflux and with second kits

The Reef Lux's instant kill shot is even harder to hit than a charger due to the requirements for *all* arrows to hit. You will probably do 90 damage. You will be reliant on teammates to do that extra bit of damage. So, I'd never use it in solo queue.

I personally think both L-3s are really underrated, there both really fun to play despite not being used much.

Nova feels incredibly underrated to me. Granted yeah, the damage sucks and a lot of people think it’s just Aerospray Pro, but I truly think that it has some potential. With the right buffs (e.g. accuracy, movement, third kit, etc.) it could definitely be pushed up further in tiers/usage. Not to mention the kits aren’t terrible either. I really do hope that somehow I’m able to push it enough for people to see its potential 🙏🏻

Glueguns, I mostly pay duslies and shooters and I’ve always just ignored glueguns existence. Till today and my experience is really good the range is pretty good with solid 3shot kills. And the kit is amazing mostly becouse of the ink shower shield

vRoller would've been on this list as recently as last Summer, but someone pushed it to its full potential!

I started as a dynamo player at the beginning, hated it, swapped to zimi, loved it, and now i play both with explo as well

I would like to see the stringer class get full charge speed while in the air, like Squiffer. I think that would significantly improve the pace the weapons could play at because they often have to jump to hit one shots. It's unlikely it will happen, but it would make reef a serious menace and help tri-stringer keep pace with the other long range chargers.

new list of weapons i’ll be seeing in open for the next week. 💀😂 jokes aside i’ll have to give these a try

Chara when your oc shirt comes back to the game are u going to gear combination with it?

Glooga. Glooga has a god kit no duh, but it also has an okay two shot and as well as LONG dodge rolls. You can roll to cover pretty much anywhere if you need to because of how small the maps are, and the paint is actually pretty all right. I see this in mainly SZ mahi, because able to safely poke plat, and roll back to cover with out sacrificing good damage like DS does.

Once Dreadwringer gets a second kit I bet it'll skyrocket in power (so long as it's second kit is not like Sprinkler + Big Bubbler)

Zimmi probably has the most potential when it comes to it's strengths. If you run it with pencil, an Aoe weapon, and a painting weapon with sensor or another location option, you will get a very threatening team.

This is glooga dualie erasure

Yeah, for the main weapon and Suction Bomb, I think Dread Wringer is the best Reefslider weapon in the game.

honestly as somebody who was interested in Dread from day one I'm glad to see it getting some genuine support fr

That Big Swig in the thumbnail was fooling nobody

Chara, how do you think we can fix tri-stringer?

I really wanna see Dread with burst bomb, the combo will be so good imo

Thanks for convincing my team to let me play Dynamo! lol

Raid Fire Weapons are my main and i refuse to use charged weapons. Semi Automatic weapons are okay but they put a strane on your fingers.

That thumbnail was clearly targeted directly at us big swig mains You will hear from our lawyers (real)

Reeflux has an 8 frame one shot if youre lucky im scared of those mfs now
