Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Splatoon Weapon Tier List, Based On Actual Effectiveness! <(^_^<)

I made a Splatoon weapon list before, but that was just for how much I've seen them used online. Now I'm ranking them based on how good they are. Of course this all just my opinion, but it's an opinion from one who's played the game for hundreds of hours and knows the ins and outs of all weapons, so it's probably pretty close to the actual truth. Of course if you disagree with anything feel free to let me know! Now onto the list!

As you've seen, most weapons are good to great, with only four I'd truely say are never worth using, and none truely overpowered or completely better than the rest, so Nintendo has done a great job with weapon balance!

I love how every roller is S-Rank

Not complaining though, since I've mainly been using Krak-On anyways.

Good list.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Thanks mate, though the brushes are technically rollers aswell. :L



The Neo Splash-O-Matic is S-tier?

Good! That's my main.

Nice list! Good seeing Neo Splash-O-Matic up in S-Tier, love that weapon.

Personally though, I'd put the Slosher in S-Tier, just because it has good range, good subs, and can kill pretty fast. But that's just me.

You are talking about best weapons killing or covering turf?



                                                                                     

Good to see that other people know that rollers ARE over powered!

It's overall, with movement, killing ability, and objective pushing taking the highest priority of course.

Among the best weapons =/= overpowered.



Looks like all weapons I mainly use are all A ranked or higher :p

Not bad list, though I can't really verify because I only use a select few weapons..
