Sheldon’s Notes

The Splattershot Jr. is the classic entry-level Turf War weapon! It’s a great companion for learning the basics of battle. It has a high rate of fire and efficient ink use to boot. Plus it sprays ink so wildly that you’re bound to hit something! Splat Bombs are super effective at smoking out hidden opponents and clearing your path. The Ink Armor special is great for support, making this set an excellent choice for players who appreciate balance.

Tips

  • The Splattershot Jr. excels at turf coverage—an apt choice for Turf Wars. Though it’s the starting weapon, few loadouts are as versatile. Try it when learning new stages and modes.
  • Since the Ink Armor special is shared with all teammates when active, this loadout is a solid support option. Use it when your team is making a concerted, offensive push.
  • Splat Bombs can be used to set traps or keep enemies at a distance. Due to the Splattershot Jr.’s limited range, rely on these bombs to engage distant threats.
