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

Most weapons are in the same ballpark in terms of ink spreading, so it being the best ink spreader isn't significant.

I don't know... The N-Zap `89 can make around twice as many points as my usual .96 Deco. Having one team member in Turf War that can make over 1500 points (N-Zap '89, Inkbrush, Aerospray RG) can be useful, but you need team mates to defend it. Teams with 3-4 of those weapons will be wrecked.

 

About the tiers:

I don't know if that's useful, I've seen players doing well with basically every weapon. S+ Rapid Blasters can be terrifying (they usually make the most kills when I see them) while I can't do shit with that weapon.

Whereas a tiered list based on your own opinions about each weapon is any different? 

 

And if it was a bottom tier weapon as you claim, it probably wouldn't be as popular as it is.


The exact ordering of the list is opinion yes as it's not based on results like a real tier list would be, but what I'm saying about the weapons are fact.

It isn't popular, I only ever see low levels and ranks using it, and pretty much only in turf war.

You must have forgotten it has the Splash Wall. :L

It was a long time ago so I forgot the source, but it was tested. Some are still better than others of course, but they're all relatively similar, with Aerospray spreading the most and Splattershot Pro the least, then below that group are the Blasters and E-Liters.

Like I said the game is very well balanced thus individual skill is by far the most important factor to how well one does, but there is no denying the fact that the Rapid Blaster has worse movement, ink spread, and kill potential than almost every other weapon.

Yes the characteristics of the weapons are facts as they are shown in the game.

But you saying that it's inaccurate and short ranged, therefore it's bottom tier aren't.  If anything the inaccuracy combined with it's fire rate make the RG & MG top tier guns in turf war, just based on ink coverage. Which is the point of the game. A good player gets around the range issue.

That maybe: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bgcQxHCY-g3KXoGf2rnYExium9qeELagu3mF6AjoU4g/edit?usp=sharing

But Sprinkler + Inkstrike combined can cover as much ground as the primary weapon.



Nice list but ill put Splatterscope in A teir.



I'm a .52 gal man, myself. The combination of the defensive options of the splash wall and the stopping power of the .52 gal really works for me.



Well I'm in the B-tier with my blasters, and I'm staying there!

That's not all I said, don't forget the part where it's sub n special don't aid with combat, giving it uber low kill potential considering the low range and low accuracy, aswell as how it's ink spread isn't even much higher than most other weapons, thus it has no redeeming qualitys or niches to fill since other weapons are just better than it in everyway, atleast for the RG. MG has Seekers n Inkzooka that make it a step better. Anywho, at high level play, ink coverage is definitely not all that matters, and I'm sorry but you'd have to be damn crazy if you think spreading ink wide without having to jump or flick the stick back n forth but having terrible accuracy is a good trade off.
