Welcome to part 2 of my Splatlands Collection Review
If you haven't read part 1 you can read it here. If you have welcome to part two of my 3 part review thingy on the 30 new Splatoon 3 weapons. This part just like the last one will cover 10 of the new weapons. These are all MY OPINION and not facts, these will be based on how I feel playing them in Turf war. With all that out of the way let's get started!
Bulbz Tri-Stringer
Weapon Kit: Angle Shot and Inkjet
Thoughts: When supported this Stringer is actually pretty good at locating and moving people, it's actually really fun to play because of it and I might play it in Ranked at some point just because it's good at locating people. Overall, while I'm not a Stringer main at all I find this one both fun to look at and fun to play. I might play it during a Splatfest since it already looks pretty cool in the big run lobby lighting I would love to see it at night.
Stickerz Splatana Stamper
Weapon Kit: Auto Bomb and Booyah Bomb
Thoughts: This is a fun stamper, I love how it looks and I love how it plays. I was a little weirded out at the idea of a Splatana having Booyah Bomb at all but this is a nice kit especially if you are still learning stamper or are like me and bad with Zip Caster or using Toxic Mist, Vanilla stamper and Nouveau. Overall I love this Stamper and I think this is one of the new weapons that I am more than willing to main.
Torrentz Hydra Splatling
Weapon Kit: Sprinkler and Big Bubbler
Thoughts: This is a weird Hydra, and while I definitely have never picked up the custom I did 4 star the vanilla one and this is definitely a holding up the back line weapon, because it's sub is good for keeping it moving and it's special can get teammates closer to front faster. I tried to move with my team when I played with this so that those who used the bubble didn't have to go very far before they were back in the main fight. Overall, I am unsure how to feel about this but it doesn't have screen so it's ok in my opinion. I love the design as I am sure I have said for every Emberz weapon so far, but they are just so cool.
Mini Splatling RTL-R
Weapon Kit: Squid Beakon and Trizooka
Thougths: I don't play Mini Splatling, I want to say that before I give my thoughts because this Mini is probably my favorite of the minis. I wasn't sure how to use beakons as a backline I'll be honest, but the RATL-R was fun to use after I got the hang of it. The Zookas were crazy from this one and I really had fun even if I can't aim at all. Overall, I love this mini I just worry for anyone using the Reppin Inkopolis Emote because of that spike on the end. 0.0
REEF-LUX 450 MIL-K
Weapon Kit: Torpedo and Booyah Bomb
Thoughts: These things are everywhere, even in the matches I was playing using this Reeflux there was at least one other on the opposing team, it was crazy. This one is popular and I can see why it is constantly hitting you no matter what once you are in it's range. The MIL-K is good at Torpedo combos with the main weapon and it's decent at turfing. I don't personally think this weapon is for me. Overall, The MIL-K is a force and every time I have gone against it and gone against others with it the other person's main focus is to get this thing off the stage asap. I have no comments on it's design bc it's just white.
Planetz Big Swig Roller
Weapon Kit: Torpedo and Triple Splash Down
Thoughts: I love the big swig roller, this is my favorite Big Swig because it looks like both something you would get at an arcade and the drink from said arcade. This is probably alongside the Stickerz and Gleamz is one of my favorite weapons of this update. The Triple Splash Down on the roller is nice because if it does get cornered it can clear the space pretty quickly. The Torpedo helps me point at opponents for my vertical flicks, the vertical flick being one of my favorite parts of the big swig main weapon, or it can just take out opponents that are too focused on someone else. I have fun playing the Planetz. Overall, I love it's design, sorry I have a huge Emberz bias, and it's kit makes this big swig stand out over the vanilla and express. I suggest this if you are looking for a fast roller that isn't a carbon roller.
Rapid Blaster Pro WNT-R
Weapon Kit: Suction Bomb and Tacticooler (Why I used the monster divider lol)
Thoughts: Tacticooler on a Rapid Pro wasn't something I knew I needed, I already like the Rapid Pro as a blaster all on it's own but this kit makes it fun to try and play. I enjoyed the matches I played with it and on top of that I think, of the Barazushi weapons, I like the design of this one the best. It looks kinda like a repainted toy, I know the Rapid and Rapid Pro look like toys, and it having soda and suction means that you can defend your cooler with the sub weapon of the WNT-R and hopefully save your teammates a bit of trouble fighting to get to your cooler. Overall, I like the Rapid Pro WNT-R and while I do have a bit of a blaster bias, I still like it over the other two Rapid Pro kits. Side note I always think of how energy drinks like Monster are referenced when people play cooler so I used a monster themed divider before this weapon as a nod to it, my team calls it soda or Mountain Dew.
Patternz Undercover Brella
Weapon Kit: Curling Bomb and Killer Wail 5.1
Thoughts: Fun fact did you know that the spot on this weapon where the Emberz logo is is actually one of those straps that holds your umbrella shut? This Undercover is super silly and fun to use. I think it's a good undercover because it has curling, if you time it right you could probably splat someone with the curling while blocking their shots with your brella shield, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did that. Killer Wail 5.1 is a weird choice in my opinion for this weapon because it doesn't seem like the special should be on an Undercover Brella. Overall the Patternz is fun and silly and definitely a weapon I would use casually. It does well in both large spaces and small ones and looks amazing. I want an umbrella that looks like this Undercover irl.
Twinklez Splat Dualies
Weapon Kit: Fizzy Bomb and Big Bubbler
Thoughts: If you have a good team these are amazing dualies if that's not the case, you are support dualies. They look great and it's fun to have dualies with fizzy but the bubble. I can't understand why bubble. Overall, they are weird splat dualies that frustrated me more than anything, I'm sure if they were in the hands of someone more experienced with dualies and better at using Big Bubbler they would be better but in my opinion these are really pretty dualies with a pretty bad kit. I'm sorry for bashing these so much.
Splatana Wiper RUS-T
Weapon Kit: Curling Bomb and Trizooka
Thoughts: Remember me saying I can't aim with Trizooka? I can, but only while I'm using this specific wiper. The RUS-T is probably one of my favorite splatanas up there with the stamper vanilla and the Stickerz Stamper, it's just so fun to play and it holds up well on its own. I'm still messing with the abilities I want to use with this weapon but overall it's good. It stands out as far as the Barazushi weapons go as being just right, not too overkill like the MIL-K and not too bad either. I just appreciate it.
Thanks for sticking through part two with me. I want to apologize again to any Twinklez dualies mains for bashing them so much I just can't get the hang of them. I hope you all can stick with me through the final part. These take entire days to make and I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy making them. I'll see you in part 3!
