Hoofz Dualie Squelchers

Dualies · Sub: Point Sensor · Special: Splattercolor Screen

A balanced Dualies with long range for its class and high mobility, since it has no end lag after dodge rolls. Its splat speed is on the slow side, but it keeps short-range weapons away by shooting while backing off and is great at supporting the front from a step behind your teammates. Its signature technique is the "jump cancel": jumping right out of a dodge roll.

Role: Midline cover and zoning (supports the front line with range and mobility) · Difficulty: medium

Strengths

Long range for Dualies, so it can chase off short-range weapons from outside their range
No end lag after dodge rolls, so you can keep fighting while rolling backward to hold your distance
Jump cancels throw off the enemy's aim while you fire low-spread shots
Above-average painting, so you can stubbornly hold the front with paint and zoning

Watch out for

28 damage per shot and four shots to splat, so splat speed is slow and it's bad at forcing splats
Dodge rolls cost a lot of ink, making it easy to run dry
Standing shots use two reticles and the shots are slow, so they're actually hard to land
Both the main and Wave Breaker struggle with elevation, so enemies camping high ground are hard to hit
Once enemies get in close, its slow splat speed tends to lose the fight

Tips

Stay a step behind your teammates and use your range to cover them in fights
Against approaching enemies, dodge roll backward to reset your distance and keep firing from outside their range
When switching from painting to fighting, swim for a moment first to reset your shot spread
Practice the fastest jump-cancel timing in the test range
