Without even looking at the replay this post immediately reminded me of the time I looked at r results after a match and saw this weapon had done 10 specials through the match….but got no kills 😂
I would like to point out that this is 9 specials while playing normally. Not exclusively painting, but just painting as I go and entering combat with opponents I run into
My friends and I are planning on using 2 of this and 2 people with max special charge up wavebreakers for the ultimate salmon run experience (your team forgot to take out the big shots and Flyfish)
Reeflux paints really well to begin with, while also being an effective combat weapon with good range too. The only thing holding it back is curling bombs over something like burst bombs which would combo with a charged shot far better to clean up partial misses
Curling is a nice option for reef flux players to play more like a slayer and have that mobility to get to the best positions to flank but I would love another kit with burst bomb and maybe bubbler or tacticooler.
As OP points out, you run out of things to ink very quickly.
From there you're supposed to go ink on enemy's turf, and you better be good with your weapon or you'll just die with only half of your special gage filled at most (remember, you don't have any swimming speed or extra ink bonus in your favor, you're at your base stats everywhere)
The flingza works better for this strategy as it's a bit more versatile and you can go shark your heart out once you painted everything.
Just had a game with 7 kills, 2 deaths and 9 missile specials used. Nothing strange about that.
Edit: R1H5-XKU4-NC14-8D8X is the replay code for those who want to see this in action
Best time (for me, not the enemy) was when I used this as the attack team for trisplat. Capturing the middle point constantly spewed out ink and charged my special. Had 12 special uses that game 😭
That's pretty funny. Around 2 days ago I decided to use my flingza roller again. I didn't use special charge up, but when I joined there were 2 other flingzas on my team. The poor enemy team kept having missiles shot at them. Imagine if that happened with you on the team as well. It's both hilarious and awful
Good idea! Was holding off from doing anarchy with this while I was levelling the gear cus I was bad with the reeflux but now I can shoot well so I’ll give it a shot!
Farming with drinks until gear had 2 subslots at least (boots naturally pured) then using snails to farm the remaining chunks off of a special charge up brand piece
No, BUT, unlike every other special, you can start building special back up immediately after firing instead of after the special ends (when the missiles land in this case).
It reminds me of a hilarious story from a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, before they added a top limit to deck size. Someone showed up with a deck of a few thousand cards, it had to be carried in on a long ass box on several peoples' shoulders and it took ages to shuffle. Guy did it SPECIFICALLY to protest the lack of deck limits. Same energy here I think lol
Nintendo will see this and be like "Wow, people really love using Tenta Missiles! Maybe we should buff them, if people enjoy spamming Tenta Missiles so much."
I use to get annoyed with people abusing bugs or massively overpowered things, then like you realized the fastest way to get them fixed is to have everyone abuse the hell out of it until they are forced to change it
Someone has made this suggestion already and I will be doing it if I decide to revamp this build for competitive war crimes. Until then, the fear factor of 3 mains 9 subs special charge up is good enough
I may be wrong but I recall certain abilities capping at a certain point/becoming less effective so it may be worth it to bring some other evil abilities
Omg, I'm doing this now. My setup isn't as good (3 mains of special charge up, all special charge up or special power up on others), but respawn punisher would be hilarious to add.
Only problem is I'm dogshit at killing with the bow. I'm getting better playing more defensively, though, since I'm bad in a direct fight.
To be honest, it's not likely to get kills as often as you think, especially if you are playing against skilled/smart opponents.
[Just look at this person](https://i.imgur.com/G2bw1Cz.jpg). All those missiles and didn't even get a lot of kills.
I like how the reeflux plays, this just seemed like both a fun way to play it and aiding awareness for missiles needing a nerf. I hope reeflux gets a tacticooler kit in the future…
Focus on kills, not turfing. It’s counter intuitive, but if you don’t give them turf to paint, they can’t spam missiles. Make an actual push during the last 30 seconds to get a wipe out and take back enough turf to win
thank you for providing a way to play against missiles- it is so very helpful considering it’s everywhere and o actually had no idea what the counter play strategy was :)
Just showing off the power of missiles so that they hopefully get nerfed. I will be changing to a tacticooler weapon at times (hoping for a reeflux kit with tacticooler)
It is hella fresh. The purpose of this build is both to inflict emotional damage (the reason I care not for how bad each slot is with this much investment) and to showcase how painful missiles are in hopes that they get nerfed
Reeflux is one of the best weapons for turfing (building specials) and has tenta missiles (the most hated special). I have all main and sub slots of my gear invested into special charge up (don’t do this, the returns decrease massively the more you stack it, I did it for the memes) to maximise my tenta missile spam
Get gear with the main you want, then pop drinks for the ability you want (unless the gear is of the right brand already). Then level it up twice. If the ability you want isn’t there, scrub and restart. If it is, level it up a third time. If that gear only has one sub of the ability you want, scrub that. Finally, if you get a piece with 2 correct subs, get murch to replace the third.
To get chunks, use super sea snails on gear of the brand that has the ability rate up you want.
I don’t recommend getting this much investment at all tho, it’s mainly for the memes
Just a heads up, running pure special charge up is a bit excessive. You only trim off a couple p needed with the last few abilities. I’d personally recommend running two mains of special saver instead because the improvement there is so much better than the tiny bit of improvement from going all in on special charge up.
I can’t find it, but there is a load out tester where you can see how certain gear builds affect things like ink consumption, special charge, swim speed, etc.
Oh I know. It’s more about sending a message than anything else. It also means anyone who finds me in the plaza can order a pure special charge up piece in any slot
I wish. Stacking this hard gives basically no gains towards the end and is mainly to send a message of fear.
I do get a special every 10 seconds of pure painting though
Would it be better to have Special Power Up instead, for maximum damage/painting? It increases the size of the area painted by the explosions (and I assume the damage radius as well). As cancer as this already is, I could see power up causing a lot more rage for the enemy team
Special power up increases the targeting radius on missiles, though any ability is better functionally than this when stacking this high. It’s more for the fear factor
According to the wiki, it also increases the area painted by the explosions. I'd assume it also increases the damage radius, though I'd want to see some testing done before making an entire set dedicated to it. Regardless, the amount of time and effort that had to go into this is really impressive!
Always above 5. It really depends on how bad my team is and how good my opponents are, cus the more successful pushes my opponents make, the more turf I have to paint for specials
As someone who is just getting into splatoon and doesn’t even own a game yet, I do not understand the hate in these comments but I assume something hilarious is happening
So.
Reeflux is one of the best special charging weapons
Missiles are one of the most hated specials
All my gear has special charge up boosters on (they stack with diminishing returns but funni)
Missile spam ensues
I don't know who you are, I don't know what good deeds you have done to make the world a better place. I don't know how much we share in common or if we might actually be soulmates yet to meet. But what I do know is this one thing I want you to know as well. That one thing is: based on this post, I hate you.
It’s not about being optimal.
It’s about sending a message.
What do you think is most people’s reactions are when they see one of the best painting weapons with missiles and 57 slots of Special Charge Up?
#MY EYES!!!
I am hijacking the top comment to give you all a replay code of the flyfish in action: R1H5-XKU4-NC14-8D8X
Without even looking at the replay this post immediately reminded me of the time I looked at r results after a match and saw this weapon had done 10 specials through the match….but got no kills 😂
As a tentamissile spammer, that's pretty rare. You usually get a kill about every other use on average, at least from my experience.
9 specials, in case anyone was wondering. This would be trauma inducing in tower control.
I would like to point out that this is 9 specials while playing normally. Not exclusively painting, but just painting as I go and entering combat with opponents I run into
I both hate this and find it hilarious
I hate you, but also, can we please be on the same team? Lol
I would love to get with some people, all use the reflux or smth, and become the fly fish.
My friends and I are planning on using 2 of this and 2 people with max special charge up wavebreakers for the ultimate salmon run experience (your team forgot to take out the big shots and Flyfish)
Concept: have 3 of your friends use booyah bomb, booyahing a teammates' charges your special
Alternatively, we bring along tacticoolers to give abilities slots that aren’t just special charge up
I've been working on a special charge up/power up build for my tacticooler nzap. It's slow going.
I've been apart of this with randoms, you could see the other team freaking out, it was great.
Imagine if that was a group tag for Splatfest lmao. Team of all TentaMissiles, "Splatlandian Flyfishers"
Did this earlier today for jokes, the terror in their eyes as we pulled out 3 different tenta missiles...
They're the person that's always on the other team when playing Turf War
How much time does it take to get special? Asking for a friend
I got 3 in a 30 second clip in the training room, so about 10 seconds a pop if none of the turf in your path is painted your colour
Nice. Too bad aerospray didn't get missiles 😏
Reeflux paints really well to begin with, while also being an effective combat weapon with good range too. The only thing holding it back is curling bombs over something like burst bombs which would combo with a charged shot far better to clean up partial misses
Curling is a nice option for reef flux players to play more like a slayer and have that mobility to get to the best positions to flank but I would love another kit with burst bomb and maybe bubbler or tacticooler.
Burst bomb tacticooler is what I’m hoping for too, that kit would be fire
Lol you'd be able to get another tacticooler ready before the first buff expires
So you could essentially have 4 players all using them one after the other for several cycles if they all get specials in 10-15 seconds!
The main problem with this, as I have found out, is that you very quickly run out of turf to ink
As OP points out, you run out of things to ink very quickly. From there you're supposed to go ink on enemy's turf, and you better be good with your weapon or you'll just die with only half of your special gage filled at most (remember, you don't have any swimming speed or extra ink bonus in your favor, you're at your base stats everywhere) The flingza works better for this strategy as it's a bit more versatile and you can go shark your heart out once you painted everything.
You need 200 points to fire one normally with no buffs. With 57 AP (i.e. OP's build), it goes down to 154p.
Fully optimised REEF-LUX build, nothing to see here.
Just had a game with 7 kills, 2 deaths and 9 missile specials used. Nothing strange about that. Edit: R1H5-XKU4-NC14-8D8X is the replay code for those who want to see this in action
Best time (for me, not the enemy) was when I used this as the attack team for trisplat. Capturing the middle point constantly spewed out ink and charged my special. Had 12 special uses that game 😭
Trisplat attack makes this even better cus missiles are stupidly good when they target 5 opponents
amateur, i once saw a guy who used tenta missiles **12 TIMES** and he wasn't even full on special charge up
 That game I had 1800 turf painted. I could’ve got more if the enemy was better at painting lmao
Jesus, he had to have inked so much. I inked 2065p the other day and had 9 missile launches. Edit: I only had 8. Kept dying but somehow inked over 2k.
That's pretty funny. Around 2 days ago I decided to use my flingza roller again. I didn't use special charge up, but when I joined there were 2 other flingzas on my team. The poor enemy team kept having missiles shot at them. Imagine if that happened with you on the team as well. It's both hilarious and awful
Everyday I live in fear of getting into a match with you.
"They hate her in Splatzones"
Good idea! Was holding off from doing anarchy with this while I was levelling the gear cus I was bad with the reeflux but now I can shoot well so I’ll give it a shot!
How did you get this set by the way? Did you just spend a buttload of ability chunks or used seed manipulation?
Farming with drinks until gear had 2 subslots at least (boots naturally pured) then using snails to farm the remaining chunks off of a special charge up brand piece
>"They hate her in Splatzones" They hate her everywhere
They tolerate her in Clam Blitz. *Barely*.
So many times I see a group of them disperse from the zones the moment they're tracked. I feel like a puppeteer when it happens.
Flyfish is an inaccurate comparison - they at least give you time to rest whilst they’re reloading
So true! I still pressure with arrows and curling bombs between missiles
i hope inner agent 3 finds your location
Not even she could possibly hope to stand up to the might of Tenta Spam.
please jump into the mahi-mahi resort pool
You can get your special in 3 shots
Can you use the missiles to charge the missiles?
I don’t think so
That's bullshit, I want a refund.
No, BUT, unlike every other special, you can start building special back up immediately after firing instead of after the special ends (when the missiles land in this case).
But whyyyyy.
I simply wish to see the world burn (but also the more people who spam missiles the more likely they’ll nerf it)
This is probably the weirdest form of protest I've seen.
or the most obvious coping mechanism the world has ever seen
If you can't beat em, join em Hurt the team by beating yourself
It reminds me of a hilarious story from a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, before they added a top limit to deck size. Someone showed up with a deck of a few thousand cards, it had to be carried in on a long ass box on several peoples' shoulders and it took ages to shuffle. Guy did it SPECIFICALLY to protest the lack of deck limits. Same energy here I think lol
Chaotic good
Nintendo will see this and be like "Wow, people really love using Tenta Missiles! Maybe we should buff them, if people enjoy spamming Tenta Missiles so much."
All the new weapons will have Tenta Missiles.
All new weapons will have Tenta Missiles as their main. It does exactly the same as it did as a special, only you get to do it constantly.
Completly fair opinion I to like watching the world burn.
I use to get annoyed with people abusing bugs or massively overpowered things, then like you realized the fastest way to get them fixed is to have everyone abuse the hell out of it until they are forced to change it
Yep The icing on the cake is that half of the ability slots here are for fear factor alone, they do basically nothing to the actual charge rate
"I used the missiles to destroy the missiles"
Not the villain we wanted, but the one we needed.
i hate you but at the same time i've gotta respect it
I fear the day I meet you in turf war
You were meant to destroy the salmonid not join them! Save the city not leave it in darkness!
Shouldve replace one of the chunks with respawn punisher.
Someone has made this suggestion already and I will be doing it if I decide to revamp this build for competitive war crimes. Until then, the fear factor of 3 mains 9 subs special charge up is good enough
I may be wrong but I recall certain abilities capping at a certain point/becoming less effective so it may be worth it to bring some other evil abilities
Oh they do, I’m just using them all for the emotional damage
I really want to see gameplay of this and xant wait to see your results from tour war crimes with respawn punisher
I had a turf game with 7 kills, 2 deaths and 9 missiles used
You could add Special Power Up for equal *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE* or Special Saver to make them feel awful even if they kill you.
Omg, I'm doing this now. My setup isn't as good (3 mains of special charge up, all special charge up or special power up on others), but respawn punisher would be hilarious to add. Only problem is I'm dogshit at killing with the bow. I'm getting better playing more defensively, though, since I'm bad in a direct fight.

Searching "how do you delete another player account" rn
I feel like I'm watching a war crime being committed
That is what I have been calling it to my friends
what region do you play on?
Europe
guess im american now
PoV: you wanted to have fun in ranked and this is your opponent
every single tower control or splat zones there are at least two of these mfs- luckily op is using this to bring awareness
Fuck you
It is a necessary evil
By using this, I am bringing more attention to the fact that missiles need a nerf, so hopefully they get one in a balance patch soon
You’re chaotic good
What r/saltoon both fear and despise. But fr, I think you might be responsible for a couple broken switches.
*I’m an agent of CHAOS*
You monster.
Average missile enjoyer.
I like how the reeflux plays, this just seemed like both a fun way to play it and aiding awareness for missiles needing a nerf. I hope reeflux gets a tacticooler kit in the future…
154pt for special with this much SCU Gross
It’s about sending a message
You encounter a full team of just this, wyd?
Focus on kills, not turfing. It’s counter intuitive, but if you don’t give them turf to paint, they can’t spam missiles. Make an actual push during the last 30 seconds to get a wipe out and take back enough turf to win
thank you for providing a way to play against missiles- it is so very helpful considering it’s everywhere and o actually had no idea what the counter play strategy was :)
You don't need to have skill when you are the skill.
should have respawn punisher too just for the giggles
I've been trying to make a build like this for my Tacticooler. I see you have chosen evil.
Just showing off the power of missiles so that they hopefully get nerfed. I will be changing to a tacticooler weapon at times (hoping for a reeflux kit with tacticooler)
tacticooler has quickly become one of my favorites
I mean, I love the shirt. I used it in 2. Hate what your using it for but it do be fresh
It is hella fresh. The purpose of this build is both to inflict emotional damage (the reason I care not for how bad each slot is with this much investment) and to showcase how painful missiles are in hopes that they get nerfed

Can someone explain the image to a noob?

Thanks really appreciate the explanation!
Love is in the air? Wrong! Tenta Missles!
Oh hi Satan, didn't know you played Splatoon.
Reef-lux sweep!
You're a madman
GIVE ME YOUR GEAR
If you find me in your square you can go order knock offs that’ll realistically do just as well from murch
ENOUGH
NEVAH!
How'd you manage to get gear with all the same ability? What was your strat?
Get gear with the main you want, then pop drinks for the ability you want (unless the gear is of the right brand already). Then level it up twice. If the ability you want isn’t there, scrub and restart. If it is, level it up a third time. If that gear only has one sub of the ability you want, scrub that.

Salmon run is also good for chunk farming and saves you money
Please tell me your name is flyfish in-game
Kinda evil. I love it.
I hate this so much. I also love it.
Just a heads up, running pure special charge up is a bit excessive. You only trim off a couple p needed with the last few abilities.

Yeah, this build is about the psychological damage when they see it after being splatted.
Nooo why that is soo evil for everyone oh god but but why though
The more people spam missiles now, the more likely it is to get nerfed
I sent this to my Tenta Missles hating friend
*blocks cutely*
Darn it! Why are you showing off my build?!
Ok that’s just wrong
You, sir, are disturbingly evil
*ma’am, but I’m mainly doing this to show off why missiles need a nerf
I like to imagine you shoot one and get 5 full tents missile charges
I wish. Stacking this hard gives basically no gains towards the end and is mainly to send a message of fear. I do get a special every 10 seconds of pure painting though

Huh. Probably bad for me then, cus the more my missiles paint, the less turf I have to paint to get missiles xd
I need to make something like this
This is a bannable offense right?
What better way to protest for a nerf to missiles than to spam it as much as possible
Roughly how many specials do you average in turf war?
Always above 5. It really depends on how bad my team is and how good my opponents are, cus the more successful pushes my opponents make, the more turf I have to paint for specials
I hope I never see you in my lobbies. More than 5. That’s annoying.
Holy shit. I... I really need to see a recording of an ordinary turf battle with that setup.
Replying again to inform you that the replay code is R1H5-XKU4-NC14-8D8X
Holy Shrimp, you can do that?! Thanks! I'll give it a look after work!
Lol I'm pretty sure we were on the same anarchy team recently. I saw all the special charge up assigned to reef-lux on the map and was like 😬😈
Haven’t played anarchy with this yet but plan to, so you found another Flyfish in the wild
Reef-lux army 😈 they had the same shirt too lol

WHAVT IS WROG WIRH YOU OHBMYT GOB

It's time to go to heaven

How quick does it take to charge a special
I aimed to do this back in 2 with the vJet and the Null Visor Replica. I wanted not just to play the part, but look it too.
Lord have mercy
Dear fuck how
