![X Battle with Custom Explosher [#1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MpCmCWnzs2k/mqdefault.jpg)
I REMEMBER BURSTING OUT LAUGHING WHEN EXPLO USED SPLASHDOWN IN THE TRAILER AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW
Custom Explosher's sudden success story is the funniest comeback story in the entire game, it went from an extremely fun casual weapon that was seen as an undercover level joke to a genuine threat
That splashdown buff really helped and it also made people realise that the kit isn’t reef deco levels of synergy and it actually has pretty decent synergy
@@hugoshires5162 The Reef-Lux mains cursing the air that they didn't get to have TSD instead of reefslider 😭
i wouldnt say genuine threat? coming from someone who plays it a lot i think people just are slow with learning to deal with it, something chara brings up in the video, and once people get more accustomed to fighting an explo that has a get off me tool i think itll be something that has to go back to needing a very strong overcompensating team behind it like vexplo which is just not a tradeoff you want to take. ofc its strong at and loves taking opportunities to oppress the other team when theyre on retake and isnt as susceptible as vexplo when it comes to being pushed back the risk of having to use it on retake can just be too high sometimes esp on maps that dont have a lot of walls for it to fire over like it wants to.
i will say though if it gets moved up to normal weight class or other things just slow down (cooler movement speed and how inherently quick and actionable shooters + splat dualies are rn) it will become a real genuine threat. guaranteed safe rotation around the map would change everything for this weapon.
3:48 I love how what he's explaining happens at the exact moment he says it
The silver lining here has got to be that Splashdown was given to a backline that actually moves pretty often, at least, when compared to Hyrdra.
hydra *is* mobile lmao
@@raresuxliterally untrue
@@raresuxhydra's movement is so slow compared to the rest. Reason why I love heavy alot cuz it's way more versatile.
yea explo is the most aggro backline I think
Cexplo is probably what the devs tried to make vhydra be back in splatoon 2
Mfw the splashdown surprise is actually surprising and kills me
don’t encourage them
The problem with explosher in solo queue is it’s so reliant on having teammates who can capitalize off of it, and so frequently match making puts me on teams with 2-3 backline weapons and we spend the entire match on defense.
Yup.
Couldn’t agree more
words id never thought chara would say
Even though you barely get any shots after throwing a wall, it’s so nice to have. You can actually survive a crab tank or inkjet encounter due to it, which helps this thing so much. Explo is a huge glass cannon still imo, but it’s actually usable against our current specials so it’s such a nice improvement
Being faster for both Nautilus and Enperry means doing cool sneak attacks and just have less down time especially Enperry. I think the changes they did are great without making the special unfair to deal with
Playing the Naut With A Bomb™️, splashdown is not that bad of a special. Mostly, it's continuation and a niche panic button. You can also get some funny sharks with it if people drop on you. It's basically faster and more vulnerable booyah bomb, but centered on the player
2:14 "BBL Drizzy" 💀
The direct 55 now works with Pro's 45 so that's a thing.
Now we wait for the Stamp buff that is totally gonna happen 😁
As an Explo/Hydra main (at a much lower level than you cover) i've been flexing between Hydra and the custom for Rainmaker and I think the Custom Explo holds its own, especially since the patch.
I run a lot of swim speed up. It loves to be the rainmaker carrier since it fits the same role and being able to push in front of the shield, splashdown and clear the way for the team in a pinch is the spice it needed to be able to compete in the mode.
Splashdown on the enperries was probably what kept me in splatoon having come in as a new player pretty close to when that dropped lol. I was terrible at aiming (just realized AFTER five starring the enperries I was still on +1/+1 motion and wondering why things started feeling slow😂) and even unbuffed, having that panic button was SUCH a relief, especially at lower levels of play where ppl couldn't cancel it so easily. Now it's buffed, the enperries remain my main (tho mostly in zones and turf lol) and I'm thriving with it.
(Next weapon im testing out is range blaster lol!)
This kind of video would be like an april fools vid when the season first came out, the kinda thing someone would do a skit where "haha UA-camr went insane"
Now this is an actual discussion to have which is in of itself an achievement
Especially with the change on splashdown I really want them to simply remove reefslider (tetra main copium)
Short answer, yes.
I have a theory about custome X. I believe it is the a one of the best support weapons.
You dont throw the wall for youself. You throw in front of you front/mid-liners and paint their feet.
Only thing that would make it better at that role would be tacticooler.
But splashdown gives it survivability.
I appreciate even though I am very limitedly affected by screen you cutting that out of the video entirely
So splashdown buff go pew pew and explo good main weapon
this is so splashdown buff moment
Ive been using it since it droppeed, its great, good PRACTICAL synergy a lot of "on paper" peoplle missed
Classic example of why casual and not top-500 players should stop following the thoughts of top-500 players like the bible, since its just not applicable or reliable for the 99%. This weapon is S++ from C-S rank as no one can counter splashdown or punish its endlag. S++++ in splatfests
lmao I’m gonna be that person but before the weapon launched, I WAS TELLING ALL THE CRYBABIES on discord that Cexplo wasn’t gonna be AS BAD as it SEEMED. I knew deep down having TSD would benefit Explo from getting rushed…. THIS WAS ALL before the buff!!!
AND now I’m running Respawn Punisher on the thing and it’s pretty powerful. However Squeezer is a bully to this weapon though LMAO….
Custom Explosher isn’t meta but it will bea good weapon from now on
Hear me out:
Brush with splashdown. Doesn’t matter which one, just give either INK brush or OCTO brush a burst bomb and triple splashdown.
Would be such broken kit
2:11 I never expected a splatoon player to know about the drake v kenderick Lamar beef
seriously 😭 I wonder if chara knows about it
I LOVE THAT YOU DISS WEAPON KITS BEFORE TRYING THEM😂❤
2:12 lmaoooo
1:24 is absolute facts.
Explo plus hydra is a good combo. Explo slows them down for hydra to take out
The thing about explo+edit made me wonder about dynamo+explo, in the event of dynamo being viable on a map mode do you think that dynamo+explo could be viable? It seems like there is a bit of overlap in the maps they prefer, and that there should be the right amount of overlap in their playstyle
I know that he is still coping from the Dread Wringer loss, but this is just sad
Remember when dread d was considered better than Cexplo ?🤣
I was unironically using custom exlposher for like a month bc I genuinely liked it even tho everyone saying it’s bad. Now look at it
C’mon Undercover, it’s your turn soon..
Hate to be that guy but I knew Cexplo wasn't bad from the start. Ppl wrote it off cause of splashdown but I knew cexplo would be the case of range where the main isn't bad the sub isn't bad but it just has a low tier special. I feel like splash wall is heavily underrated that sub can literally turn anything aggressive even hydra and eliter. I used explo right after it came out and was damn near almost averaging 30 bombs with it. Wall helps it play aggro while staying alive allowing for multiple kill streaks and then if ur in a pinch hit one person with the explo then splashdown for pretty much a guaranteed kill. I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from this: not complaining about a weapons sub and special just from the trailer until it drops in game and we can use it for ourselves. In fact we have a trailer coming up either tomorrow or thursday so if we see some crazy shit for range just know it might somehow work out
Only if he would say the same for big swig😔
swig is so close to being okay but the main weapon has awful hitbox issues and the kits give you like, no retake options aside from throwing out paint and waiting for the enemies to feed you paint for your special
@@iknowwhereyoulive618I feel like Big Swig is the definition of missed potential. The main weapon isn’t seen as threatening because of its reputation of being weak with a weak kit, but if you ignore the kit big swig is a terrifying weapon. It has the biggest hitbox in the game, it’s fast and ink efficient, and it has an incredible vertical flick. Sure the damage sucks but you use big swig as a chip damaging support weapon, not a slayer up in every one’s faces. Big swig would be in really good but it’s kit is like a ball and chain holding it back so so much😔
I main big swig express and it’s honestly pretty good. (Well it’s still bad but not that bad) the kit is honestly pretty good for it. Dart allows for scanning, combos and painting your feet and rain is just a good support/displacement special that has good synergy with swig. I found a really good gear set for it that lets me use the weapon to its fullest. I could go on about the weapon but I’ll leave it at this.
Custom explo is the splat zones weapon
this discussion only highlights how much better the REEFLUX kit would've been if it had splashdown over reefslider x.x
ppl always forget how good wall actually is. reeflux genuinely sucks at killing but wall lets it play more aggro and it can actually afford to miss a shot on someone now
@@unl3ash3d95 also seeing the splashdown into instant wall aggro combo with explo makes me thirsty for what we could've gotten with reeflux, cause baby reeflux end lag leaves me dead before i can even think of placing a wall
@@unl3ash3d95isn't reeflux like. Potentially one of the best bows at killing. If it had like splat, burst, or fizzy wouldn't it be able to play ultra aggro and go for 2 hits instead of having to hit all three
yes. yes it is :)
Idk if this would be a bad idea but i wish 1 direct + 1 indirect kills
Okay I'll play it
BBL Drizzy😭
yall judge a book by it's cover thats why
it got BUFFED
Been using it lately n it’s decent
Is it just me, or does it seem that the special is more important for anchors than other roles?
Okay so me being annoyed as shit fighting this thing isn’t me being bad at the game
bucket
Thats cap, aint no way its good
Its not prochara in this video thats noobfrisk
It’s not a meta weapon, it’s just become more decent than we all thought.
Right, cause you know more about the game than the top player who coaches a team that just got 2nd place at the game’s biggest LAN tournament. Of course.
@@heyitsyaboi8419 yeah im just that smart
