      GoldTrainRider Umm... Because flyfish are annoying as hell? Usually in salmon run I don't find much use for my specials, but when there are like 3 flyfish, you bet I'm going to sting ray them.

    • @qcardcontinuum
      @qcardcontinuum 6 років тому +5

      GoldTrainRider I understand, but if I'm on final wave with a sting ray, I'm usually going to use it on flyfish or the other sting ray things because I can only really activate sting ray when I'm not surrounded, and taking out the nuisances that are far away so we don't get cornered dealing with them is useful. Sure I could use it on other enemies, but personally I find them easier to deal with, so I save my sting ray for flyfish because they're usually in a hard position to reach if it's really chaotic.

  • @Raina111111

    As someone who doesn't really use chargers, the E-liter is THE best charger (excluding grizzco) for salmon run. It one shots steel eels, steal heads, and scrappers. One well placed shot to the tail will also send grillers spinning. Anyone half decent will be fine, and an asset, so long as their teammates don't suck ass. Anyone who actually does main chargers won't need good teammates as much, but we're going from the prospective of someone decent with all weapons.

      I respect your opinion, I really do. The fact that the E-litre can one shot pretty much anything from far away is really good and useful. And also since salmonids are slower and have larger hitboxes than inklings and octolings, this makes hitting your shots easier.
      As much as I respect your opinion, I disagree with it. The E-litre has very high ink consumption and very low mobility, it doesn't paint well and even if you stay out of reach of the salmonids, it's likely there's just going to be too many of them for you to deal with before they get too close, and when they do get too close, you're screwed.
      A good weapon in Salmon Run has to be able to consistently take down multiple fish at once, both large and small, has to be mobile and at least moderately fast. This is why the two best regular chargers in my opinion are the Squiffer and the Bamboozler. The Squiffer may have rather short range for a weapon you have to charge up, but it charges up quickly and charges uo equally quickly while in the air, this makes the Squiffer more mobile than other chargers. Bamboozler does not retain the piercing shots that every other charger has, but makes up for it by being really really fast and having kind of good painting power.
      Again, I do not agree with your opinion, but I respect it.

    This is a really good and accurate list (you don’t see a lot of these) although the splatterscope and splat charger could have been placed a little higher
    I don’t wanna sound like one of those whiny e-liter mains you mentioned and I’m by no means a charger main but a charger does have a respectable use in salmon run if you always target steelheads, support your team with streams of ink, and revive teammates without getting to close to the danger yourself.
    That’s just my opinion anyway keep up the great content man!

    I disagree with the Octobrush. It's only use is to run faster on the gates and save your teammates. It barely damages even the Chums.
    I'm no E-Liter main, but the E-Liter is WAY too low on this list when it should be higher. I would place it in the B-tier. It one-shots Scrappers, Steelheads, and Steel Eels on full charge, 2 shots Drizzlers on full charges, and exposes the Griller's weak points on the first full blast IMMEDIATELY. It also one shots Goldies in Zombie Salmonids mode (speaking from experience, not gaming science). Also, its range is EXTREMELY good in Mothership mode
    Yes, the E-Liter takes long to charge, but you SHOULDN'T be the only person trying to take out these Salmon creeps.
    Next, why are ALL the blasters so low on the list?? They take out Stingers. STINGERS!! You know the freaking campers that like to spawn at far away areas shooting lasers at the farthest teammate, slowly killing off your teammates one by one!?!? If there were any Boss Salmonid you needed to take out immediately, it's the Stinger!!

    • @gregheffley5745
      @gregheffley5745 3 роки тому

      Octobrush isn't awful in Salmon Run, but it is outclassed by other frontliners. I agree about the E-Liter helping in Mothership mode as long as you make sure to watch out for Salmonids that come out of the crates you fail to destroy. I would say at least the Luna Blaster also deserves to be about as high as the Clash Blaster. It does have the same range as the Sploosh-o-Matic but has an extremely high hitbox. On the other hand Sploosh-o-Matic is lucky to be high on the list. It has a high fire rate and does a lot of damage for a shooter, but the range of a shot that has any chance of hitting is virtually nothing.

  • @Aviarmew
    @Aviarmew 5 років тому +4

    Here are some PRO-TIPS from what I've observed personally:
    The swimming up the wall trick only works if other players are killing salmonids, as they'll start jumping to get to you after a certain amount of time has passed and will most certainly splat you if you're trying to avoid them this way by waiting out the clock as the only remaining player
    The Inkjet can take out flyfish when their bomb hatches are open, a shot to each hatch will take it out like a bomb would. It's a good way to take out multiple fly fish from a decent distance
    Using the sting ray to revive players on the other side of the map when you're the only person left if things are dire might give your team-mate enough time to do whatever work still needs to be done/survive until the clock runs down as all the salmonids that were targeting you are going to take a bit of time to get to the teammate you just revived
    In the low tide cannon missions, the cannons can take out flyfish with a shot to each bomb hatch like a bomb would when the hatches are open
    Using the sting ray on grillers if you find you're not killing them/getting eggs fast enough is a good way to turn a griller round on its' head and come out on top
    In the seeking goldie missions, if you have a splat roller/any type of roller and can get in front of the goldie's path to another sewer entrance, put the roller down and keep tapping forward, this will deplete its' health much quicker than most shots from weapons. This is also a good defense strategy for glowflies if you have the dynamo specifically
    If there's a Maws on a ledge below you, and you're on a ledge above and it's flashing to jump, you're NOT safe just because the circle isn't just under your feet
    If you have the attention of a scrapper and there's a team-mate close by, you can move to rotate its' rear to face that team-mate for a much easier kill. Killing scrappers with chargers is also fairly easy if they're not focused on you and have their rear facing you since you don't have to disable the vehicle to take it out

      As someone who solo 999'd on all maps I strongly disagree with this tier list. S, A and B are kinda understandable except for Octobrush and Aerospray. Octobrush is by far the worst weapon in SR. it has pretty bad ink efficiency and no range. it took ages to kill almost any Boss. Aerospray is not a bad weapon but it has low short range. most C weapons are better than it. CDEF tiers make no sense. all weapons except for maybe carbon roller, inkbrush, undercover brella, h3, ranged, luna, dynamo and hydra deserve higher.

    @LolitaCraft 4 роки тому +1

    Hydra Splatling is one of my favorite weapons because of its sheer damage output and range (and I'm also a Heavy semi-main in TF2) so I'm a bit biased here, but it is fairly viable in salmon run in certain scenarios. Your teammates have to be wielding much faster-firing weapons and have a lot more mobility than you, and they need to be willing to draw most if not all of the aggro from the salmonids (since you definitely won't be able to fight off a horde head-on with a hydra). When you have the Hydra splatling, play more defensively dealing damage from afar- especially on long-range bosses like Steelheads and Stingers and leave egg collecting to your more agile teammates who can afford to play aggressively.

    To the people rewatching this video two years later: In my opinion, the E-liter shouldn't be anywhere near F tier, but for beginners who can't aim or play safe I see why it's there.
    What Astronaut didn't say about the E-Liters is that; Yes, they may be slow, but the E-Liter has the amazing quality of being able to One shot more than half of all Boss Salmonids (Drizzler is 50/50 of one hit K.O. Idk why) with a minor drawback of partially relying on teammates to kill lesser salmonids that get too close to you. Because the E-Liter is VERY dependent on the player's teammates to carry you when up close is why I wouldnt put it any higher above Astronaut's Mid D Tier. Goo Tuber? Yeah it's still trash. I mean, OK, you can store a charge, but the charge doesn't even piece through big boards nor does it kill Bosses to the strength that E-Liters can do. It's just a Vanilla Charger w/ longer save time and slightly more range 😤

    I wouldn't put the grizzco weapons in SS tier, more S tier along with the squeltcher. This is due to the fast ink consumption and the fact that when one is in play it will increase the eggs required to win, as well these weapons mainly appear in completely random jobs, this could cause bad rng where your team requires 21 eggs to win but everyone else randomly got d or e tier weapons. As well a bad player could get it where it doesn't help anyone only making the round harder.

    Honestly I was hoping you'd mention crippling Flyfish over killing them since killing them just causes more of them to spawn with full missile capacity but if you have 3 one baskets flying around (as opposed to 3 constantly rotating two basket) it gives you a little more room to breathe!
    I always get matched with people that follow me around and kill off my cripples but... completely ignore the stingers, somehow. >:(
    While there's definitely some trash weapons, I do find the Hydra can be quite powerful on Smokeyard if there's good enough clean up/turf weapons paired with it. Not having to cross the water to kill those stingers on high tide is very useful!

  • @treeckoralts
    @treeckoralts 6 років тому +1

    the entire lack of tenta brella here, other than its listing makes me want to give my opinions on it:
    the tenta brella i think should be in at least c, or possibly b tier. it's main weapon is a shotgun that can very easily regain map control and splat normal salmonids/boss salmonids. if you have actually good teammates for once, you can together crowd behind its incredible defense and easily bring eggs back to the basket. if there's one thing anyone at least mediocre player shoudl be able to do, it's launch the shield. launching the brella shield will plow through waves of normal salmonids, and is especially helpful taking care of the tiny ones during grillers, and whenever the salmonids are rushing you like in the rush mode. the only issues with it, however, are its large amount of ink consumption and low movement speed, which shouldnt be that much of a problem if you dont play to risky
    then again this is coming from a tenta brella expert (625+ wins) and from someone that rarely plays salmon run that much anymore

I also got the stingray. We come to the end of the round, were about double our quota of 10, and I was the last one alive. I get surrounded and my teammates are on the slope in front of me, but they are covered by samlonoids. So I set out a bomb, it does nothing. Then I start jumping. My thumb has a huge bone on the curve, and it does this thing where it applies just enough pressure to trigger a special. I pressed the wrong button, activating my stingray, and I couldn't save any teammates. I then died.

    I do disagree with some of the chargers being low tier (E-Liter and Bamboozler can stay right where they are). Getting a charger basically is giving you the role of boss destroyer. As you mentioned, they're great for dealing with Steelheads, but Scrappers, Steel Eels, and Drizzlers are all easily handled too. And the range helps with Mothership occurrences.
    ...Granted I'd only put them as high as D-tier since you have occurrences like Rush where you are basically useless since lining them up in a single shot isn't always likely.

    @nowits1005 6 років тому

    I'm a few months late to finding this but dang this tier list is interesting because
    1. I have the HARDEST time with blasters. Like, for my playstyle, they're like F Tier. Especially rapid blasters. Their damage output doesn't feel like it's enough against most bosses or cohocks even with its slightly faster fire rate. Plus, if you're trying to escape a deadly situation, good luck lol. That ink coverage is just garbage
    2. Didn't think the inkbrush would be that low. I know it's not powerful but darn it if it ain't fast af. I just accept my role as designated egg fetcher when I get one and speed through everything. I don't waste time on Steelheads and it's so fun to just mash that button if I gotta fight. The octobrush's ink consumption and slightly slower speed just holds me back so much.
    3. I don't main chargers at all and understand why they're low tier but I never really had much of a problem with them? Just stay back near the egg basket and don't go charge ahead into the fray. Occasionally change to a lesser populated area if things get hairy. But fuck scopes. Worst salmon run weapon. Being able to see what's around you is so essential in salmon run and scopes never really helped me aim so there's no benefit. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Good vid!

      @garyconstanza3120 6 років тому +5

      The only real use for chargers that I have seen in SR is taking out Steelheads and maybe the projectiles the Drizzlers launch from a distance. Other than those two specific situations, I'm better off with other weapons. Splat Charger is ok, but it's when crap like the Bamboozler or the scoped E-Liter is included that I dislike.
      That, and they're useless in Glowfly waves...

    • @doobi6343
      @doobi6343 6 років тому +3

      Yeah no, they're great in glowfly waves, they can take out a huuuuge line of them in one shot if you line up correctly. The other thing they're amazing at is support from a distance and reviving from across a map. E-Liters can also one shot multiple Cohocks at once so they're actually not useless
      Chargers are great for most of the special events. Grillers, Mothership, Glowflies (not as good as the first two, yes, but not useless at all, just learn how to cheese them when the flies are on you), and are definitely good against anything with goldies. Unfortunately they're hard to use in fog because you have to have even BETTER aim.
      They can shoot out a griller's tail in a single shot unless it's the bamboozler, but then the boozler actually has an advantage against the spinning tail phase because you can spam the shots against it. The only real issue is that smallfries will harass you terribly, so use your bombs right.

    • @garyconstanza3120
      @garyconstanza3120 6 років тому +3

      Right. Only being effective on certain, very specific situations is not that good that all IMO, not when other weapons with similar functions exist that can handle well in more situations. Nearly every other weapon type can take out waves of regular enemies faster and without having to rely on positioning as much as chargers do, and weapons like the Squelchers or the Heavy and Hydra Splatlings are just as good as fighting from a distance but with better turf coverage and faster ways to defeat enemies due to their auto-fire.
      Chargers are too slow when dealing with things like Glowflies or Goldies in Goldie-seeking waves, I can barely take 1 to 3 eggs before the Goldie hides or I'm already dead when one Goldie and a bunch of other Salmons rush at me and my teammates are somewhere else, while weapons with a faster rate and bigger spread can handle both of these no problem. They are also slow at dealing damage to the Mothership, which again other weapons do faster And the Splatlings can do more damage to all of the above with the same charge time and similar range as a charger (except the E-Liter).
      I do agree that they're good at stunning Grillers, but then when actually taking them out they do so little damage and take some time to charge that the Griller ends up chasing you or your teammate again before taking the last shot needed to splat them. That and they do a poor job at fighting against Smallfry without having to rely on Bombs (I also find it dumb that I have to rely on Bombs).
      I'm just not a fan of weapons that are extremely situational. IMO, Splatlings and Squelchers are better in SR when it comes to long ranged weapons.

Perhaps only for the fact that it can literally kill any boss without waiting for the Flyfish to open, the Steelhead to charge, the Scrapper to rotate, the Steel Eel to get turned around, to get close to the Stinger, or the Drizzler to flip over.
    The one and only exception could be the Maws, which is the easiest boss to take down, by Splat bomb, people... Don't just try to shoot them when the snap at you or your teammates.

    Aerospray at C: Aerospray lacks range damage and accuracy and the latter of them can't be useful like in Turf Wars.
    Sploosh-o-matic & Dapple Dualies at B: Both have insane ground mobility and DPS.
    Splash-o-matic at B: The weapon is a slightly worse & better version of N-Zap & Splattershot Jr. respectively.
    Carbon Roller at B: Just because it's the best weapon in Rush.
    Squeezer at D: Despite the ability to adapt to situations the DPS is very bad here.
    Mini Splatling at C: Its charge time isn't too bad while the range is still good.
    L/H-3 Nozzlenose & Rapid Blaster/Pro at C: All have decent range and damage to make up for the relatively bad fire rate.
    Range Blaster at E: It literally has the worst fire rate in the game and mobility is a weak point too.
