It's probably worth noting that Stealth Jump only reduces the distance that your opponents can see your jump landing point, it doesn't completely stop it appearing
@@kristopherhayes486 idk the exact numbers, but it fades in and out at around dualies max range, So basically people will have a harder time nading your respawn, cuz the range they can see is shorter than the max throw distance on most nades
Yes but the ranges you'll be at to actually see jumps when using stealth jump never happen in normal conditions of pro play. It's ///max/// range splattershot. (e: even then, using stealth jump makes the circle difficult to see at max splattershot range.) If a splattershot gets that close to your anchor, something has gone seriously wrong in the first place.
Another thing to note in anarchy is that LDE still activates in the last 30 seconds even if you are winning. So a 0 point losing team still has to deal with the winning team having LDE active in the last 30 seconds and overtime as they try to make a comeback.

That said, thanks for the video. Very informative for those curious on this topic.
mahi mahi is the worst offender, super small, little cover, and easy to spawn camp, i want at least the option to play the old version, same goes for hammerhead.
Yeah, I think the map design is the biggest balance issue in the game right now. Looking forward to seeing some new maps and some reworks later in the game's lifespan.
let's just hope for the best for flounder and that new stage that's confirmed to be coming in a later patch (hopefully it's more like Museum rather than Mahi or Hammerhead)
Lowkey I feel like drop roller should be removed from the game and just be a base ability of Inkjet and Zipcaster. Not super jumps just the return jump of those specials
7:45 i think the way flc talked about this (tetra dualies qr builds specifically) was a lot of weapons struggle to get in, but if a tetra dualies rushes in and engages the enemy, then weapons who struggle to get in now can and have the bit of time they need to set up and take space. Basically the ultimate skirmisher
I somehow never thought about LDE in ranked since it only says what it about does in turf war, if that were true in ranked it would suck. But starting triggering at already 50 score in ranked sounds insane Also swimming particles without ninja squid and the squid form when it's not in ink are already less visible than splatoon 2, it really throws me off often
I miss my octoling shades from Splatoon 2. I always wore it with my Black Inky rider to look like the terminator. Well, at least the 18K Aviators are a decent replacement
@@t.funkthecoolmunk5472 oh my god, same! I also used the Double Egg Shades a lot, i got really surprised it was on the app catalogue with lde the moment i booted the game up on the first time. Murch is terrible at getting good gear now too :c
I like watching your vids because I played a lot of Splatoon 1 and kind of took a step back in Splatoon 2, so in 3 I've been needing a refresher. Your videos are easy to understand which I love
I'm currently using a build like that right now and it's really fun to throw out two bombs at once. Last Ditch Effort isn't even required for the Jr. specifically, it's just a very nice bonus. Two mains and about 2-3 subs of Sub Saver is enough.
@@silxer3154 same, that playstyle is super fun. Additionally, by resetting your ink gauge with big bubbler, you essentially have a mini splat bomb rush with 4 bombs. It's like two specials in one :D
The only 2 splatanas aren't very good. I hope they add more weapons in updates. When they revealed splatanas I really wanted to play them, but after trying them in game, they're very underwelming.
Even if stamp were fixed I doubt wiper would be worth using over stamper (unless stamp is completely overtuned). Thing needs a new kit asap Stamper is more towards the middle rn and really just needs slightly faster swings
@@kwayke9 there is a tech but it’s not even technically supposed to exist and will probably be patched out fully but you can kill really quickly when coming out of ink if you spam the button when doing a normal swing and it will just spam the swing 3 times with very little lag (this was patched to be harder in one of the updates so I think it’s unintentional)
Another mindset that helped me be convinced to use LDE (and Quick Respawn) is that if you're already winning, you're in a good spot for the game to not need LDE, but LDE and QR give you options in the situation where you are losing or being camped out to give you a fighting chance. As important as abilities are, the game is gonna be determined by the players' skill and collaboration. The abilities are like a little bonus. I saw a good amount of builds with Last Ditch Effort, Ninja Squid, and Stealth Jump as the main core or at least a combination of at least 2. Makes me feel good about trying to make pures of my gear.
my main tactic in the prior two games was to loop around the edge of the map and ambush the enemy's spawn point, and i've been failing SO HARD in splatoon 3 because they totally took all the advantage of that away, haha. i guess it's for the best. i need to try other things and get better at supporting the team. thanks for the tips, by the way- i'll definitely need to get ninja squid on my gear
Yeah, same here. I only started playing Splatoon 3 during the first Splatfest, and I’ve only recently realized that I need to revise my strategy as my old one really isn’t working in 3 well at all.
I could probably make a clipped video of the most important and hilarious pieces of the entire stream if no one else does it. If I have enough time during college and when I get a good editing software.
I don’t find myself swimming much as I mainly use Hydra. I run LDE, RePun, and Stealth Jump. I may switch Stealth Jump with Quick Super Jump though. But honestly it’s cool to see the more expert view on why certain abilities are used.
Iv found object shredder to be really nice on hydra personally as a sort of 'anti-specials' weapon. As hydra is my go to for rainmaker it makes breaking the shield a breeze.
I've found for myself being a weirder case than most players with my play style. While I main flingza and backline some I have also found myself also being able to do aggro in certain situations or just me for some reason being the only one to ever climb on the tower in tower control so my gear is just ink refill(flingza in kind of ink hungry but, not enough for ink saver main), swim speed( it's actually really noticable and not something I've really used before but, it has proved really helpful), and special charge up(for well obvious reasons and no it's not my fault they put missiles on my main weapon). So Idk how many players do this but I find myself in kind of a mixed play style of both offense and defense
I figured intensify action would be better than it is because of it's improvements to squid rolling. After hearing your explanation of LDE though, that's obscenely good for one ability.
Thanks for the discussion. I like knowing some rules-of-thumb to build off of. Also cool seeing that you checked the Treehouse streams, I might do that too
LDE is usually better for ranked but Comeback for Turf is just so much better. I know that last minute is most important but when you are frontliner and after being splatted you can jump in action and just push even harder.
Wow, actual Comp Play is completely different from online Ranked play; not a single Blaster or any Intensify Action! I see IA so often I assumed it was popular in Comp, is losing less accuracy while airborne not as nuts as I think it is? Maybe there was some in the Slots in this footage, I dunno. I didn't know LDE was based on the enemy team's score in Ranked, I'll have to start using that, so thanks!
Back when I was younger playing the original Splatoon, I remember that I used to run ninja squid on slayer builds without knowing it wasn't optimal. I didn't expect that six years later, it would be literally part of the meta in Splatoon 3.
Nothing like quick respawn gear for when your having a bad day. sure you die alot but quick respawn allows you to try again sooner. wepons like the splattershot pro like quick respawn as you don't need that much gear for it. (I personally go with 2 mains quick respawn, 1 main ink resist, 2 sub swim speed, 1 sub quick super jump, 1 sub of Ink recovery and 1 sub special saver. the rest is up to you. but recromend more quick respawn/ Quick super jump.)
imo, I think LDE is entirely weapon dependent and I don't understand why, for example, a flingza roller would ever need it as opposed to something like swim speed, special charge up, or special saver. It's not even that ink-hungry of a weapon. I would understand it for things like chargers, explosher, dynamo, etc, but I don't get the appeal of it at all for slayers or skirmishers.
Ninja Squid's only change from 2 is that in 2 the *bonus* swim speed from the ability Swim Speed Up was 80% and they changed it back to 100% in 3. Ninja Squid's base swim speed with 0 AP of Swim Speed Up equipped is exactly the same in both games.
Tbh, When it comes to gear, I simply use the ability that neutralizes the thing I find most annoying . (Ex. I use ink recovery up and ink saver because I often run out of ink quickly, forget to refill and get splatted.) I never seriously thought about gear before tbh 🤷♀️
Fun story; had a 12-win streak during the Deserted Island splatfest, and I gave my splatfest tee the punisher main ability… it was such a rush to mow people down with my Hydra Splatling in the name of Team Gear
10:24 why is the Splash running sub power up? Doesn’t it only increase the range of burst bomb? And if so, is it worth not running SJ for a bit more range?
It does that by making the burst bombs go faster, which is particularly useful with the burst bomb since it also makes it easier to aim at close range. Another major reason for it is so that you can snipe people with burst bombs if you want to, as burst bombs with sub power up has more range than the splash.
I actually love a main of SPU on burst bomb. It gets your burst bomb to about jet squelcher range, which lets you contest a lot of backliners from positions where they'd otherwise just get free shots. I used to run it all the time on my vdualies and splash builds in S2
My problem with Ninja Squid is snipers with scopes still see me and I get sniped 90% of the time anyway. I'm S+ rank but no pro player so I could be wrong but I see more value running swim speed up and slow swimming when I need to sneak around anyway. This also makes people (in solo Q) less weary as they see your not running Ninja Squid plus slow swimming leaves no trace at all.
the first comment about chara's drip reminds me of splatoon 1. back when there was no splatnet, no chunks, and everyone looked like bargain bin rejects.
new sub! been playing splatoon since the original came out and I didn't know lots of this stuff! great content that's easy to understand, keep it up! also didn't know my gear was so bad 😳
thanks for the info. this how you stay smart. information is also like money to smart people their eyes gets big and they smile......... also i got jump at the very end of splatfest. i almost made it to grass ruler 4 mainly cuz i still dont know how to super jump and i dont how to practice it. i made one fire nation friend but they'll be busy. oh nvm i just saw it the bubble.😈❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙
@@StarmenRock I've just not had the time to farm money to get the app gear on top of shop gear, else I'd probably already be there lol. I'm pretty sure I've got the chunks to make LDE, I just never paid it much mind because it wasn't great at the launch of S1 from what I remember
@@StarmenRock its more limitations of grad school and the only people I know who play are in a different time zone, so I make do. Had the chunks for LDE, get to keep my vaporwave aesthetic going lol
I’m thinking of adding some respawn punisher to my gear for backlining just to be extra annoying with the few kills I get. I don’t go up close with shooters so I don’t need ninja squid and all that bogus. I’m already sneaky and I’m not competitive. It just needs to be good enough.
I love your content, I just wish during detailed explanations, the sub sound/following notification sound was turned down or turn off. Sometimes it sounds louder than your talking and it’s distracting. The graphic is fine and very cute, it’s the woomy! Otherwise thank you for this very informative video.
If I was to have swim speed as 2 main abilities and not subs would it minus from the deduction that stealth takes away from? Does it make sense to stack 2 main abilities? For example have swim speed as my main ability for 2 articles of clothing? Would that be swim speed +20 instead of +10?
What they should do for LDE is the opposite of what their doing. If like down by 10 points, have 1 AP. And it would scale to something like down by 25 points where it maxes out. That'll be a lot better while keeping what keeps LDE's identity.
Does Thermal Ink as a main have any noticable comp viability? Does the thought of losing your opponent seem like a non issue at that level, or take the place of Ninja Squid make it unattractive even if useful?
Based on my limited knowledge, there's just not a lot of weapons that can benefit much from it and it's situational, either way. The effect of Thermal only kicks in from a certain distance, so it's mostly useless for short-range weapons, and its usefulness hinges on the target surviving. Anything with enough killing power is not likely to benefit, so it mostly sees its use-case on weapons that don't splat reliably at range. Stuff like Jet Squelcher or the Tri-Stringer to an extent. Additionally, it doesn't apply on indirect hits, so the Stringer's explosions or Blaster AOE don't even count. And lastly, I'm told that at a high enough level, you start getting an idea of where your opponents go if they get away after being hit, so you might feel it unnecessary. It's just a bit of a gimmick. I'm sure your reasoning also has something to do with it, though. Like, when Ninja Squid keeps you from getting sniped as much, I imagine that quickly becomes high priority for a lot of builds. Personally, I kind of like it for the few weapons where it makes sense, but I can see why players would typically prefer something with more reliable pay-off.
Wait for ranked LDE isn't just increased stats for the last 30 seconds on the clock?? Times like this I wish the game did a better job communicating these things...
You've probably figured it out by now, but just in case someone else is wondering the same thing: Light weapon: 1 main 4 sub Medium weapon: 5 subs Heavy weapon: between 1 and 2 subs
It's so weird. I'm sure that LDE is good on Splatlings, but I just don't see it. To me it feels like running speed and full game Ink saver would be much more important than the Boost from LDE, or the movement augmenting given form Stealth jump or ninja squid. And are the Splatlings really that outclassed by the E-liter? As from these clips, no-one there was running any of them.
I don't understand quite how we know LDE functions the same in splatoon 2, considering that the description of it tells us very little. Can someone shed some light on that?

the first comment about chara's drip reminds me of splatoon 1. back when there was no splatnet, no chunks, and everyone looked like bargain bin rejects.
new sub! been playing splatoon since the original came out and I didn't know lots of this stuff! great content that's easy to understand, keep it up! also didn't know my gear was so bad 😳
If you ask me, a charger running object shredder is thinking more about not getting invalidated by bubbler than anything else
What sub abilities should i use with lde, Ninja squid, and stealth jump?
That depends heavily on what weapon you're using. I recommend checking sendou.ink/builds for anything more specific than the analysis I'm doing.
Could you explain ap and how abilities scale?
And here I've been, sleeping on LDE and Stealth Jump.
thanks for the info. this how you stay smart. information is also like money to smart people their eyes gets big and they smile.........
also i got jump at the very end of splatfest. i almost made it to grass ruler 4 mainly cuz i still dont know how to super jump and i dont how to practice it. i made one fire nation friend but they'll be busy. oh nvm i just saw it the bubble.😈❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙
-> add LDE to my load out when I get home. Got it
@@StarmenRock I've just not had the time to farm money to get the app gear on top of shop gear, else I'd probably already be there lol. I'm pretty sure I've got the chunks to make LDE, I just never paid it much mind because it wasn't great at the launch of S1 from what I remember
@@StarmenRock its more limitations of grad school and the only people I know who play are in a different time zone, so I make do. Had the chunks for LDE, get to keep my vaporwave aesthetic going lol
@@fluffytheostrich3878 good luck with grad school! hope you get to enjoy the game a lot even with those limitations. I'm glad you managed to get LDE!
@@StarmenRock thank you!
Failing at real school. PASSING at squid school. Aw yeah.
Somehow, players are still able to perfectly place bombs under my Stealth Jump. Can they still see the arrow, or do they just place bombs for safety?
Stealth jump doesn’t completely hide the marker. It hides it from far away, but if they get close to it they can see it
I think the ring on the ground still shows up just not the big arrow above it that tells everyone and their cousin that you’re landing there.
I feel good knowing that my weapon is one of the main reasons to use a main ability.
Thank you, teacher.
I’m thinking of adding some respawn punisher to my gear for backlining just to be extra annoying with the few kills I get. I don’t go up close with shooters so I don’t need ninja squid and all that bogus. I’m already sneaky and I’m not competitive. It just needs to be good enough.
I love your content, I just wish during detailed explanations, the sub sound/following notification sound was turned down or turn off. Sometimes it sounds louder than your talking and it’s distracting. The graphic is fine and very cute, it’s the woomy! Otherwise thank you for this very informative video.
1:30 gear can mean a win or lose in a comp
Will there be a follow up video for the sub gear ?
Chara with the Sendou outfit.
If I was to have swim speed as 2 main abilities and not subs would it minus from the deduction that stealth takes away from? Does it make sense to stack 2 main abilities? For example have swim speed as my main ability for 2 articles of clothing? Would that be swim speed +20 instead of +10?
Do you have a video about how LDE works in Splatoon 3 or even 2?
What they should do for LDE is the opposite of what their doing. If like down by 10 points, have 1 AP. And it would scale to something like down by 25 points where it maxes out. That'll be a lot better while keeping what keeps LDE's identity.

Turns out Bomb Rush is still in the game according to Bagel.
Does Thermal Ink as a main have any noticable comp viability? Does the thought of losing your opponent seem like a non issue at that level, or take the place of Ninja Squid make it unattractive even if useful?
Based on my limited knowledge, there's just not a lot of weapons that can benefit much from it and it's situational, either way. The effect of Thermal only kicks in from a certain distance, so it's mostly useless for short-range weapons, and its usefulness hinges on the target surviving. Anything with enough killing power is not likely to benefit, so it mostly sees its use-case on weapons that don't splat reliably at range. Stuff like Jet Squelcher or the Tri-Stringer to an extent. Additionally, it doesn't apply on indirect hits, so the Stringer's explosions or Blaster AOE don't even count.
And lastly, I'm told that at a high enough level, you start getting an idea of where your opponents go if they get away after being hit, so you might feel it unnecessary. It's just a bit of a gimmick.
I'm sure your reasoning also has something to do with it, though. Like, when Ninja Squid keeps you from getting sniped as much, I imagine that quickly becomes high priority for a lot of builds.
Personally, I kind of like it for the few weapons where it makes sense, but I can see why players would typically prefer something with more reliable pay-off.
Tbh for my weapons I have a good idea of the Skills I want, usually. But I have no idea what level of AP to actually shoot for
Respawn punisher on splash-o-matic is top tier
No
@@elijahealks6098 yes I’m too dirty with it
Wait for ranked LDE isn't just increased stats for the last 30 seconds on the clock?? Times like this I wish the game did a better job communicating these things...
Lol i didnt know big house had splatoon there thats so cool i was just watching smash last night
Chara running the confused anime fan drip
I thought lde only activated in the last 30 secs, now I'm gonna get that straight on my explosher, is it for headgear only.
so if ninja squid is different in splatoon 3, how much swim speed up does it take to negate the swim speed reduction of ninja squid now?
You've probably figured it out by now, but just in case someone else is wondering the same thing:
Light weapon: 1 main 4 sub
Medium weapon: 5 subs
Heavy weapon: between 1 and 2 subs
Did respawn punisher get a buff?
Only in that it counters tacticooler, but with e-liter being really strong and difficult to deal with it's being used a lot by that weapon
@@SquidSchool between ink recovery up and ink saver main which one is better for ink hungry weapons?
I didn't realize that LDE was just that good!
Can you do a squid rolls tip video
Many people are struggling getting used to it
Yes
Thanks for telling us why we should run LDE
hey im new to the splatoon pro play scene can somebody tell me what are the best twitch channels to watch top play?
The chara drip is immaculate
It's so weird. I'm sure that LDE is good on Splatlings, but I just don't see it. To me it feels like running speed and full game Ink saver would be much more important than the Boost from LDE, or the movement augmenting given form Stealth jump or ninja squid. And are the Splatlings really that outclassed by the E-liter? As from these clips, no-one there was running any of them.
There were multiple hydra players in the tournament, it’s just that those games weren’t shown in this video
@@Randomness-hz7kj Alright, thank you for the information.
0:30 bro has drip fym
Chara is dripped out of his mind
Is there any reason to use stealth drop instead of drop roller?
Inkjet or Zipcaster weapon, I don’t think stealth jump hides that
@@HonkHonkGoose776 yeah so then what's the point??
For jumps even with drop roller you could still get hit when you jump by something with big hitboxes like a roller or a bomb
cool, didn't know LDE was so good
He really just said dude is different and you gotta deal with it
holy shit I had no idea LDE was that good
Anyone got a link to a VOD?
a VOD? Which VOD are you looking for?
@@SquidSchool i found the recordings of the matches yesterday! Thanks anyways!
Thank you!
Yo the free melee shirt is hitting different right about now. You love to see it
THAT’S what last ditch effort does???
I don't understand quite how we know LDE functions the same in splatoon 2, considering that the description of it tells us very little. Can someone shed some light on that?
I always gotta have Ninja Squid on my gear
Intro funny as fuck lmao
