Welcome one and all to the not so official, official Spla2oon thread.  (blessing by CGI-Quality)

For those that would like to join us on Discord https://discord.gg/r3cKVZu

I’d like this to be a thread to ask and answer questions and for finding others to play Splatoon 2 with. 

I have put more time into this sequel than I did the original (170 hours as of the time of this posting) but there is still much I don’t know.  My son and I play every once in a while but the vast majority of that time has been spent playing with randoms. It would be nice to have a partner or better yet a full team where we can tear some people up.  I’m not that good, my record is normally just a little above 50/50 but I have found a couple weapons I really like and am averaging around 9 splats per game (my personal best was 27 splats in a match of rainmaker with truly horrible players both on my team and theirs).

If you feel like telling a Splatoon 2 story … go for it

If you feel like sharing your favorite weapon / gear combo … please do

If you feel like sharing links to Wiki’s or other useful information …that would be awesome

If you feel like exposing yourself to art …

…Do it elsewhere

Anything else related to Spla2oon please share

I know this is likely kind of out there but:

As for finding others to play with I would suggest PMing people with your friend code.  I know we sometimes don’t see eye to eye on this site and I’d hate to see someone create a Nintendo Network ID for the sole purpose of befriending people then tanking in the games they play together just to hurt their ranking or league scores.

What we know or think we know (obscure Willow reference check)

I've been told this is a good source of info for both this game and its prequel: https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

EDIT: I've spent a few minutes in the Wiki and it is a good one.  Thanks Platina.

Info on the new Rank X coming in version 3.0.0 coming late April - courtesy of Wyrdness

If you are looking to mine ability chunks from gear this link tells you what brand gear most often yields the desired ability chunks : https://rankedboost.com/splatoon-2/abilities/   The week or so leading up to a Splatfest you will be given a Splatfest tee once you have picked a side (Note: once you pick a side you are locked in and cannot change your mind so be sure to check with teammates before picking a side).  For just 2000 the Splatfest Tee can be scrubbed (gained abilities will be washed away and you get to keep any ability chunks that were on the gear). Compare that to the 20,000 it costs to scrub any other piece of gear and you see what a deal it is.

Mr_Destiny said:

I've begun keeping track of the sub chunks I get after wiping my gear to find the exact probabilities for the brand affinities. After 45 sub slots it looks like...

~27% for the common ability

~2% for the rare ability

~71% for all other abilities.

If you buy gear that you already had from Splatnet2 you will be given the choice to buy the new gear or keep your old gear. If you like the Main ability better on the new gear and decide to buy it you will lose the ability chunks you've unlocked on the old gear.   If you are farming chunks it might be best to scrub the gear before buying the new Splatnet2 version with the alternate main ability. If someone can confirm: When using a Super Sea Snail to re-roll abilities you do get to keep the chunks being replaced.

If you like the Hero Replica weapons from single player, beating all single player stages and bosses with that weapon will allow you to purchase the weapon from Sheldon for use in multiplayer. The weapons are nerfed compared to single player but in my opinion the sub-weapon / special combinations on these replicas are superior to those combos found on regular weapons.

There is also a bonus for clearing a single player stage / boss with all weapons.  It is a meal ticket.  Personally I always have a meal in my belly (lasts 20 matches).

If you find better links or more accurate information please share and i will add it here.

    Weapon	Adjustment
    .96 Gal 96 Gal Deco	Decreased trajectory variance of first shot while also increasing time required to reach maximum shot variance when firing continuously.
    Luna Blaster Luna Blaster Neo	Increased area covered by ink at your feet when firing.
    L-3 Nozzlenose L-3 Nozzlenose D	Now more likely to ink the area at your feet when firing.
    Squeezer	Increased firing range when holding ZR to fire continuously by roughly 4%. Decreased ink consumption when holding ZR to fire continuously by roughly 10%.

    Inkbrush Inkbrush Nouveau	Increased overall spread of ink generated by swinging the brush, with the spread of ink closest to the player seeing the biggest increase, making it easier to ink continuous areas of turf.
    Classic Squiffer	Area at player’s feet will now always be inked when firing.
    Splat Charger Firefin Splat Charger Hero Charger Replica	Area at player’s feet will now always be inked when firing.
    Splatterscope Firefin Splatterscope	Area at player’s feet will now always be inked when firing.

    Splash Wall	Decreased time after using before ink recovery begins by roughly 1 second. Now possible to create a wall when a wall you’ve created already exists in the stage. Creating a new wall will cause the older one to disappear. Decreased least amount of time for wall to open after being placed by roughly 15/60 of a second.   This change decreases the time until the wall opens when creating a wall on either flat ground or facing a downward slope by roughly 15/60 of a second. When creating a wall while facing an upward slope or other condition that causes the wall to be placed immediately, there will be no change in how quickly the wall opens.

    Curling Bomb	Decreased radius of ink coverage and damage dealt by Curling Bomb explosion when R is pressed and immediately released. Bomb now grows in size the longer R is held, increasing ink coverage while traveling and area of ink coverage and damage dealt when it explodes. Decreased amount of time before ink recovery begins after use in proportion to how long R button is held.
    Sprinkler	Decreased ink consumption from 70% to 60% of ink tank capacity. Decreased degree to which less area is inked proportional to distance between Sprinkler and terrain floor when placed in a location with a different height than surrounding terrain. Increased durability by roughly 20%. Due to the above fix, damage dealt by certain attacks has also changed.   Decreased damage dealt by Sting Rays by roughly 58%. Decreased damage dealt by Ink Storms by roughly 67%. Increased damage dealt by Nozzlenose weapons by roughly 20%. Increased damage dealt by Blaster weapons by roughly 20%. Increased damage dealt by vertical swing attacks with Roller weapons by roughly 20%. Decreased range of ink droplets and area of coverage during time after placement until Sprinkler output begins to weaken.
    Curling-Bomb Launcher	As a sub weapon, the size of Curling Bombs will now change depending on how long the R button is held, but Curling Bombs generated by the Curling Bomb Launcher will always be the same size, regardless of button press duration.   Due to this change, area of ink coverage while Curling Bombs are traveling has been increased slightly. Due to this change, area of ink coverage and damage dealt by Curling Bomb explosions has been decreased slightly.
    Sting Ray	Reduced damage dealt by roughly 10%. Sting Ray’s beam will now pass through the spawn point barrier when used within the barrier around your team’s spawn point.

  • Specifications for some of the gear abilities have been changed.
    

    Gear Ability	Adjustment

    Opening Gambit	While active, Opening Gambit’s duration will be extended by 7.5 seconds for each opponent splatted by the player or assist they are credited with.
    Haunt	Opposing players marked with Haunt will now incur the penalties of Respawn Punisher (additional time before respawn, further reduction of special gauge when respawning) when splatted.
    Thermal Ink	Duration extended from 6 to 12 seconds.
    Respawn Punisher	Increased degree to which the effect of the gear ability Quick Respawn is nullified from 80% to 85%.
    Drop Roller	After Drop Roller is used, the player will receive the effects of Run Speed Up, Swim Speed Up, and Ink Resistance Up for roughly 3 seconds.
    Comeback	Decreased the boost to stats while Comeback is active from 1.2 times the value of the main gear power to 1 times that value.
    Ninja Squid	Ninja Squid will now nullify roughly 20% of the effect provided by the player’s Swim Speed Up gear ability.

Reserved

What I really want to know and haven't found a good source for are numbers for how much stack-able abilities are worth on gear. I have heard that the more of the same ability you have on a piece of gear the less of an affect you get.
Trying to farm abilities can take a long time and be very expensive since you will need 60 ability chunks to make a piece of "shiny" gear from scratch (10 chunks for the first slot + 20 for the second + 30 for the third slot = 60 chunks) not to mention 20,000 per scrub or one sea snail per ability re-roll.

Splat wiki had a really good list for S1 gear, but haven't looked into Splat2

I'd browsed through a couple which one in particular were you thinking of?

Nice thread! I'll share what my builds are anf what else im trying to do.

You're 6 months late lel. Well I'm always down for squads and salmon runs n stuff.

I am using sloshing machine neo now and trying different things. 6 subs of sub weapon saver enables two point sensors (might be of some use) and I am trying to figure out if using one main of sub power up is any good for it (more than that seems too much for too little effect).

As for weapon meta, I am at the moment pretty clueless? If someone is familiar with the meta right now, then that would be nice to hear.
