Strengths

• Splats in 3 shots even standing and fires faster after a roll, giving it one of the fastest close-range splat speeds of any weapon
• Rolls come out fast with little end lag, so you can dodge enemy aim at point-blank range
• Light and fast, great at surprise attacks, flanking and lurking ambushes
• The base version's Beakons and Tacticooler boost the whole team's return and push, making it a starting point for attacks in modes like Rainmaker

Watch out for

• Range is only a bit longer than the Sploosh-o-matic, so it can't touch mid/long-range weapons that keep their distance
• Short roll distance makes it hard to escape enemies aiming from afar, and diving in without a plan gets your end lag punished
• The base version's sub and special can't deal damage, so splats rely entirely on the main and breaking holds is tough
• Its nemesis is Wave Breaker, which wipes out Beakons in bulk and also shuts down rolls

Tips

• Place Beakons where they're hard to destroy, like behind walls or high ground, and keep 3 on the map at all times
• Drop Tacticooler one step behind the front line where teammates can drink safely. It works best when timed with your team's specials for a push
• Don't fight head-on; close in from blind spots by swimming and rolling. Check the enemy's position and where they're looking before diving in
• Against long-range weapons you can't outrange, fight back by waiting near your Beakons or ambushing from flanks
