Sheldon’s Notes

The Splattershot is beloved for its ease of handling and high potential. This is the latest model of the go-to weapon. The included Burst Bombs are great for both attack and defense, and the Splashdown special doubles down on attack power. You can also use the Splashdown as a defensive ace in your sleeve, so it’s perfect for learning the basics of battle. If you make good use of this all-around set, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with!

Tips

  • This loadout is great for Turf War, thanks to the coverage of the Burst Bombs and Splashdown. The main hits much harder than the Splattershot Jr.
  • Consider equipping the Ink Saver (Main) and Sub Power Up abilities. The weapon is the strength of this loadout, and Ink Saver (Main) allows you to fire more shots.
  • Sub Power Up helps you throw those Burst Bombs farther, thus covering more ground at a greater distance. Burst Bombs don’t inflict much damage, but they’re great for spreading ink.
