Well it intended for area control at least thats how i use it, i never expect to actually get a kill with it, but basically im choosing to fight where i place it and it can combo with many weapons too
As someone who used to use dualies in splatoon 3, killer wail still scares me because whenever someone uses it it always ends with all six lasers on me making it an absolute pain in the neck to dodge
This was a pretty good video, made me chuckle. I'm not surprised at Killer Wail. It always seems to deal WAY more damage than you expect, and there are always those weird cases where you get stuck and can't move out of the way easily. It's surprisingly annoying.
I 100% agree with this. I love playing every dualie, and I die to these specials so consistently. Being forced to evade both players and a special like those makes my brain hurt.
Man, Wavebreaker needs a buff, man! Frankly, it's easy enough to avoid in most scenarios, so I feel like they should either make it unbreakable, so all three waves are guaranteed, or keep it breakable and increase the number of waves to 4-5.
Nice bait with the zooka, I personally think it's a little overhated. Also I 100% agree with your sentiments regarding 52 gal. That thing is ungodly and should not be able to do things it can.
Killer wail 5.1 definitely annoys me at times with teammates moving in the same direction causing you to get lazered, I could definitely see why the high endlag of tetras would cause them to really dislike fighting wail though. For me personally these are the specials I dislike fighting. weapons I play are dapples, octobrush, vdualies, gloogas, and nautilus Trizooka: the startup is way too quick, and you can just die out of nowhere way too often. The gravity drop also can make it deceptively difficult to even hide from the special, as people will arc their shots over cover and high ground. Kraken royale: The special gets so much stronger when the slightest bit of lag is involved, as you can't really juke it out any more and just have to run away. Also kraken cheese is dumb. Ultra stamp: a few of the weapons I play basically can't touch the ultra stamp even from behind, now that the stamping radius is so big. I basically have to sit and wait while stamp completely pushes me out of the objective with nothing I can do about it. Alternatively when I play a weapon that can cheese the protection it just feels cheap. Big bubbler: I could accept the special if the internal beakon didn't also act like a second wall. If I go through the effort to fight my way inside your little protection dome, it should be a fair fight. You shouldn't then basically have another backup splash wall inside you can use to shut down attempts to counter you. triple splashdown: I just don't have the reaction time (or oftentimes I don't have the time) to be able to splat the user on reaction. So triple splashdown being popped means I just have to leave the area ASAP, which often isn't fast enough. The sheer range at which triple splashdown can splat you from full you is also pretty crazy.
As someone whose favourite special to use is Killer Wail 5.1, I understand and respect your sentiments regarding the special. I also agree regarding .52 Gal.
I don't even play dualies and wail still has to be at the top of my list when a wail locks on to you and your teamate it makes it really really easy to be killed by your teamates wail and I know this is kind of a thing with tenta missiles too but man I feels so much worse on wail
Killer wail is awful for brellas too. It just goes through the the shield dealing damage to it as well as you, kind of just locking you out of half of what makes your weapon usable
Lemee just say they should NOT have a 2 shot kill shooter in the game. Its innacuracy kicks in some frames after you pop out and start shooting, but by then youve already gotten the kill
Honestly, even though I don't necessarily specialize in dualies, I have to agree with the #1 spot on this list. Killer Wail 5.1 isn't even fun to go up against in general. It's a special that forces you to move out of the way, and it has some properties that I dislike that Tenta Missiles don't even have, most of that being the global range in a literal way. Unlike Missiles, it's not just targeting specific players, but it's also going to affect anyone that happens to be within your X and Z radius, meaning you could easily accidentally kill a teammate if you weren't aware of their exact positioning. I find missiles fine to go up against nowadays, but Killer Wail just feels awful to both use and go up against.
Ah yes. As an avid wail user being a vbrush one trick I can confirm they are very annoying. And I’m sorry for all the pain it has caused players. However, before Nintendo buffed my weapon, it was struggling a bit. It has always been midtier so I think wail justifies it and gave vbrush a chance at being a higher tier weapon.
I saw the number 1 coming a mile away. I main tetra and that recent buff they gave wail ANNIHILATES you if you so much as think about dodge rolling, even once
I completely agree with everything you say in this video now that I main dualies now. Although my number 1 is booyah bomb, it can be hard to avoid when you don't pay attention
For me Triple Splashdown is the most annoying to face, simply bcs it's hard to cancel it, avoid it, and you can't even put a bomb on the floor bcs it will then be deleted (similar to booyah bomb and ultra stamp deleting bombs)
I agree that 5.1 is difficult to deal for sure. As a dynamo main, if im in a location with lots of enemy ink, my only way of surviving is to paint and move. But dynamo is so slow that itd be impossible to flick and paint, in order to move.
My top 5 goes like this: (Keep in mind, i play both the Splatanas, Range Blaster, and Dynamo Roller.) 5: Crab Tank. Same reasons stated here. Its like a combination of a Hydra Splatling and an Explosher, two of my least favorite weapons to play against, but also has 500 hp and a ball form for an easy escape. As someone who plays two of the slowest weapons in the game, with awful object damage, a Crab Tank is my cue to just take cover and pray. 4: Booyah Bomb. Theres something so infuriating about approaching someone, knowing that you'll splat them, only for them to press the "no thanks" button and gain 450 extra hp, so you physically cant kill them, and have to back off. Also, why does the player still have armor for like a second AFTER throwing the Booyah Bomb? So many times, i try to punish the Booyah Bomb user after the special ends, but somehow they still have armor, and then they splat me instead... The Booyah Bomb user should be vulnerable and lose the armor the FRAME that they throw the explosion. 3: Big Bubbler. Nothing is worse than facing a Splat Roller in Tower Control, having them place their bubble on the tower, and knowing full well that theres nothing you can do about it. With Range Blaster and Dynamo Roller, my object damage is just not enough to break the bubble from outside, but climbing the tower into a roller is just suicide... It feels like theres no good counterplay unless your whole team works together, which wont happen in solo queue. 2: Tenta Missiles. The nerf made them much more bearable, but im heavily biased against them. As someone who plays both Range Blaster and Dynamo Roller, seeing the missiles coming down as im fighting someone usually leads to a swift death, and it always feels like i couldnt have done a lot to avoid it. That on top of the global range and zero counterplay (no way to avoid being targeted and displaced) makes them feel very uninteractive and lame. 1: Reefslider. Its not the most broken special or anything like that, but its just incredibly annoying, and i hate the way they handled this special. It feels like every attempt to buff it just makes its design worse and more annoying, without solving the actual problem. Its supposed to be an entry tool that you can use to brute force yourself through enemy lines and get in, but the endlag made that impossible. And instead of removing the endlag, they just made it cheese zones and be a super fast, invincible panic button. Because thats great design...
52. gal is my worst nightmare and i just had a game with a full team of them who would just use killer wail simultaneously so there would be total of 24 killer lasers just blasting everywhere was pure and utter hell with splash walls guarding them. Chase was hella accurate with "f*ck that weapon"
Whenever I'm using a weapon with killer wail I actively look for a dualie user to point it at. Not only does it mess up their ability to roll safely but since I'm just a solo que only player there's a good chance they'll panic and roll anyway causing the lasers to spaz out all over the place making it much worse for their team overall. Pretty sure 90% of my deaths to wail has been when a panicked teammate has swept it back and forth over top of me Honestly not sure which special is my least favorite to fight since I switch between weapons a lot but I'll go with zooka for it's ability to delete me in the blink of an eye without much warning.
i think out of these 5 speacials, wave breaker deff needs a buff. i get that it's called (wave *breaker*), but it breaks way to easily with not enought waves
Yeah I totally get ya Chase Killer Wail 5.1 definitely annoying to fight against, I know it's a little less annoying w a shooter, but for me it just as annoying especially when u have to keep dodging the mini Killer Wail lazers
My least favorite special to fight is booyah bomb. usually I'm fine with it but when I wanna casually play turf and I see someone using 3 pures of special charge on Gold Aerospray getting around 10ish booyah bombs. any other weapon with booyah bomb is fine it's just gold aerospray is extreemly annoying.
I'm not exactly a Dualie Main, but I've recently played the Emperry-Dualies quite a bit and I totally understand you. I personally was a Dualie-Main for a While in S2 and used them again when looking for alternative Weapon Choices in S3 (I'm a Jet-Sqelcher Main and both Kits are lowkey ineffective and totally carried by the Main Weapon which also isn't quite as good as it used to be (mainly due to the Lack of good Positioning Options on many Maps + the increased Importance of Mobility in S3 compared to it's Predecessors)), but I quickly dropped Dualies again when I found what a Pain the Wavebreaker and Killerwail were when playing the Weapon. I personally still hate the Cra(b/p) Tank the most, simply because of it's insane Range and Fire Speed which makes it hard to dodge/circumvent. Furthermore, the relatively slow Fire Speed of the Jet Squelcher makes it hard to effectively counter Crap Tank from the Distance, but you also don't have any Offensive Options from close up due to the mediocre Kits. I like Toxic Mist, don't get me wrong, it's the Redeeming Factor of the Custom Jet Squelcher, but at least give me Triple Inkstrike, Killerwail, Tenta Missiles, Booyah Bomb or SOMETHING that can be used offensively. Jet Squelcher has a good Paint Output - Ink Storm brings literally nothing to the Table for this Weapon, it does exactly the same Thing as the Main Weapon but worse, and don't get me started on the Vanilla Kit against the Crap Tank. Line Marker has been pretty much useless for as long as the Game exists, so no Surprises there, but while the Ink Vac has come a long Way from being probably the most niche Special in the Game to being useful in a broad Variety of Situations, it still isn't able to shield you from all the Damage (meaning that you'll get killed either Way) while limiting your Ability to move away while using it due to rendering you unable to paint + lowering your Mobility even further.
As a brella main here's the reasons why we hate these specials: 1) Crab tank: Not only can they shred our shield but they can kill us too and their burst shot can literally go through our shield 2) Kraken Royal: They literally go through our shields and kill usand it get worse if it's one that have object shredder. 3) tenta missle: Brellas have some sort of end lag and very slow turning speed so of course we're most likely to get hit with said tenta missles 4) Triple splashdown: We can survive it but we never do cause the radius of the fists are gigantic and if we're nowhere at the edge of the splashdown, we're more deader than black people in horror movies cause even when we thought we escaped we are always proven wrong and die anyway. Triple inkstrike: Bro Nintendo needs to fix our end lag cause those be our main opps if we don't see them in time The main 2 are the biggest issues: Reefslider: like no matter what! We die to this thing I every spot we're in shyt even behind walks INKJET: Have you ever tried fighting a really good inkjet with a brella!? That is horrible bro like i have to get lucky they don't kill me through my shield in 1 shot
My top five last favorite specials are in order from most hated to least: 1. wave breaker, 2. killer wail, 3. Tenta missles, 4. trizooka, and 5. booyah bomb.
As dualie main yeah I’m 100% agree I also suffer and get mad with this specials especially gal with killer wale and the fact that gal got buffed makes me even more annoyed but great video Chase ❤
I never thought about which specials I hate the most in this game but I know for a fact that inkjet would place somewhere in my top 5. as a short range slayer player my role is to go in and get kills but when someone pops an inkjet I feel useless cause its hard asf to hit even when its in reach and then sometimes when it boosts I'm unable to hit it
i dont mind facing crab because im a reeflux main but i really hate using it. I also completely understand the killer wail placement because it is a massive tetra counter and dualies overall
As a sniper user, I agree with the killer whale opinion it is really annoying because you can’t ink turf to be able to move away from it and it gets you out of very good high ground
Thank god I'm a Slosher Main and see Bubbler as a Minor inconvinience, Yeah, I almost forgot about wails buff that kills a dualie in the dodge roll endlag
I’ve been playing enperry a lot recently, and I have to agree that crab and wail just destroy me. I splashdown, crab gets me… I dodge roll, wail gets me!
My Top 3 are Missiles, Bubble, and (big gap) Wail. I say top 3 cuz I think every other special ok. Zooka panic shots, Stamp's huge radius in rush mode, and Kraken Clams cheese can also be mildly annoying but not as bad as the top 3
I think killer wail 5.1 should of functioned more like Splatoon 1 killer wail, so it'll have a radius that extends trough the stage like killer wail and anyone who goes inside that radius gets tracked by the wails, it has a smaller radius and it's not insta kill like the OG killer wail but it lasts longer and it acts more of like a area denial. I think they could add it as a new mode that activates when you double tap L stick, then they could revert the damage buffs to the regular mode of killer wail 5.1
I’ve played Gloogas a fair amount and man, Wail and especially Wave Breaker are awful to fight I *am* an H-3 D main though, so I use Bubble often. But after fighting Rollers and Jrs, yeah, the beyblade launcher in the middle is pretty brutal. It’s caused me to sometimes not see people, and sometimes I’ve gotten shot through it. Meanwhile in other situations it’s just flatout invincible for the user in the center. It’s pretty scuffed. Unfortunately for Dualies the main counterplay to Bubble is mainly the specials due to the low object damage on the main
I KNEW IT, OH GOD! I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY KILLER WAIL. I also knew you would joke about the trizooka but you even got me there xddd. I knew It was killer wail because the same logic as Wave breaker, you are always on ground and you have to choose sometimes to kill or avoid. If only my practice was as good as my theory... And I am a Blaster player
Killer Wail is up there for me because of the latency. I can be doing nothing and then a Killer is targetted on me and I just get splatted with no other people shooting at me and I'm just trying to dodge it the whole time. It doesn't matter if the latency is that great. Similarly with the Ultra Hammer. If there's no latency, easy to splat it. Otherwise, I have to swim away and they have a huge hitbox like 5x more so I get splatted like a mile away. I love Wavebreaker because I spam it and put a lot of pressure with it. No opinion against it tho. Tenta missiles is the least annoying special to me since I constantly move. It gives plenty of time to dodge it too. Pretty much worthless.
I definitely agree about Killer Wail. I main Dualies and Splatanas but even when I'm not using Dualies I still hate it. The damage buff I think was so stupid. And hard agree 52Gal has got to me the most talentless shit in the game next to Brushes and those Aerospray/Sploosh players that do nothing but paint in Turf War. Gonna have to disagree about Crab though. I love Crab Tank. It's why I often use V-Splat Dualies not to mention Neo Stamper and after the nerfs I think it's actually a cool and skillful special. It also kinda gets countered by nearly every other special not to mention Buckets and flanking Brushes plus Chargers/Bows can also snipe the pilot so I don't see how people find Crab to be annoying or OP anymore. Hard agree about 52Gal though. Among the most talentless weapons alongside Aerospray, Sploosh, Brushes and Rollers imo.
I was kind of hoping #1 would be Killer Wail. I was going to post about it regardless of what you said and ask for tips from others. I dodge it fairly well but still die from it more than I’d like.
Mine are booyah bomb(because it’s a panic button and can be hard to shred) and tripslashdown. I really wish they buffed it in some other way that’s not just three explosions. I feel like it can Kill you from so far away. It’s not that annoying but still annoying to deal with. also If the enemy uses it as a panic button and you still kill them you can still die even if you’re pretty far away.
I think that Crab Tank should have its range increase with firerate, just like the hydra has a shorter range if you don’t charge the first circle. (Only in PvP, not SR :)) I do really want that missile hitbox nerf in SR tho!
As a non duelie player I hate wail. It can instantly encumber 3 players for 6 seconds at any time from anywhere. It’s a sting ray that targets multiple people with 0 risk.
If anything I expected Wave Breaker to be higher bc you use tetras since Wave Breaker is bad except against tetras and gloogas where Wave Breaker automatically negates both weapons.
As someone who has 4 stared 4/8 of the available Dualies in the game I can say the I agree with this list 100% because as Chase said it’s on the 52 gal f*ck that weapon
I used the Dread Wringer to get the holo sticker, and the amount of times I’ve exploded it and no one died even though they were right next to it is annoying. Please buff the blow up shark floaty bomb please Nintendo
Relatable list, but I love to see .52 gal hate especially. Screw that thing. And yet I bet the devs are itching to give it another buff and/or an amazing second kit…
My LEAST favorite Specials in Splatoon 3 1.Booyah Bomb- I have never liked this special ever since it was introduced in Splatoon 2 2.Killer Wail 5.1- As a Dualie main, I can't stand going against this special 3.Wave Breaker- If I wasn't a Dualie main; I would think this special is harmless.
The same criteria applies, that should be obvious. Do that if you're able to, but it's pretty hard to actually pull off if the enemy team is, you know... trying to shoot at you while you're aiming up high to shoot the top of the bubble
@@Chase247 In the context of dualies, it makes sense. But also I swear half the specials in the game (and some main weapons) just shred it regardless. (Also I'm a Splat roller main with lots of bias.)
the only special I truly dislike is triple splashdown, though killerwail is annoying as well I've read some threads on reddit a while ago and apparently most people dont have a problem with splashdown at all. Imo it is by FAR the strongest special in the entire game, nothing comes close to it. I gotta say there that Im fairly new the game (I started in september, currently in S rank) but my kill to death ration is relatively good. But splashdown and the bidet are things I greatly struggle with. If I dont die through superjumping or ganking, its most likely a bidet or the splashdown
i use blasters, this is my top 5 (worst to fight against). 1. TRI SRTIKE. MAN THEY ARE ANNOYINGLY HARD TO DODGE WITH BLASTERS (my opinion) 2. Triple splashdown. also HARD AS HELL TO DODGE. i still like to play with it because i JUMPSCARE people with both the blaster and the splasdown 3. crab tank. same explanation 4. trizooka. 5. kraken.
Only a dualie player would hate wave breaker so much, forcing people to jump is pretty much the only thing the special is useful for.
If you use it in a favorable situation like when you put pressure to a group of 2 or with lots of special, etc
Well it intended for area control at least thats how i use it, i never expect to actually get a kill with it, but basically im choosing to fight where i place it and it can combo with many weapons too
with wave breaker you have let your left thumb stick not be moving or just don't touch it and jump and you can also get out of its rang.
@@ninja2515-fx2ew that's the point, for you to jump and get away, and better if there's somebody trying to splat you to distract you
He said that

@@ElGing yes but that's an extremely niche counter and the specials power level should be more powerful regardless of class
@@GalaxyOwl802 yes it’s true
I think 4 waves would help alot and slightly longer range
I think the waves should just be harder to avoid, I think the problem with waves is that it's underwhelming not that it needs more waves/duration
Not even games like Halo 3 were able to figure out how to design a Big Bubbler like special, it's kind of a nightmare balance wise.
Nice bait with the zooka, I personally think it's a little overhated. Also I 100% agree with your sentiments regarding 52 gal. That thing is ungodly and should not be able to do things it can.

I think everyones least favourite special is tenta missles. Also hopefully u get 30k soon keep up the great work

So many times, i try to punish the Booyah Bomb user after the special ends, but somehow they still have armor, and then they splat me instead... The Booyah Bomb user should be vulnerable and lose the armor the FRAME that they throw the explosion.

wave breaker also messes you up for a sneak around cause it just marks you.
My least favorite special to fight is booyah bomb. usually I'm fine with it but when I wanna casually play turf and I see someone using 3 pures of special charge on Gold Aerospray getting around 10ish booyah bombs. any other weapon with booyah bomb is fine it's just gold aerospray is extreemly annoying.
but on an overall scale it would be Ultra Stamp purely because most of the weapons I play can't kill it (Blasters, Splatanas, and Chargers)
I love using tenta missles, but only on groups of players, no one should be left behind :)
As a dualies main I agree about wail lmao. It’s embarrassing how often I die to it 😂
I'm not exactly a Dualie Main, but I've recently played the Emperry-Dualies quite a bit and I totally understand you.
I personally was a Dualie-Main for a While in S2 and used them again when looking for alternative Weapon Choices in S3 (I'm a Jet-Sqelcher Main and both Kits are lowkey ineffective and totally carried by the Main Weapon which also isn't quite as good as it used to be (mainly due to the Lack of good Positioning Options on many Maps + the increased Importance of Mobility in S3 compared to it's Predecessors)), but I quickly dropped Dualies again when I found what a Pain the Wavebreaker and Killerwail were when playing the Weapon.
I personally still hate the Cra(b/p) Tank the most, simply because of it's insane Range and Fire Speed which makes it hard to dodge/circumvent. Furthermore, the relatively slow Fire Speed of the Jet Squelcher makes it hard to effectively counter Crap Tank from the Distance, but you also don't have any Offensive Options from close up due to the mediocre Kits. I like Toxic Mist, don't get me wrong, it's the Redeeming Factor of the Custom Jet Squelcher, but at least give me Triple Inkstrike, Killerwail, Tenta Missiles, Booyah Bomb or SOMETHING that can be used offensively. Jet Squelcher has a good Paint Output - Ink Storm brings literally nothing to the Table for this Weapon, it does exactly the same Thing as the Main Weapon but worse, and don't get me started on the Vanilla Kit against the Crap Tank. Line Marker has been pretty much useless for as long as the Game exists, so no Surprises there, but while the Ink Vac has come a long Way from being probably the most niche Special in the Game to being useful in a broad Variety of Situations, it still isn't able to shield you from all the Damage (meaning that you'll get killed either Way) while limiting your Ability to move away while using it due to rendering you unable to paint + lowering your Mobility even further.
As a brella main here's the reasons why we hate these specials:
1) Crab tank: Not only can they shred our shield but they can kill us too and their burst shot can literally go through our shield
2) Kraken Royal: They literally go through our shields and kill usand it get worse if it's one that have object shredder.
3) tenta missle: Brellas have some sort of end lag and very slow turning speed so of course we're most likely to get hit with said tenta missles
4) Triple splashdown: We can survive it but we never do cause the radius of the fists are gigantic and if we're nowhere at the edge of the splashdown, we're more deader than black people in horror movies cause even when we thought we escaped we are always proven wrong and die anyway.
Triple inkstrike: Bro Nintendo needs to fix our end lag cause those be our main opps if we don't see them in time
The main 2 are the biggest issues:
Reefslider: like no matter what! We die to this thing I every spot we're in shyt even behind walks
INKJET: Have you ever tried fighting a really good inkjet with a brella!? That is horrible bro like i have to get lucky they don't kill me through my shield in 1 shot
0:56 I just don't understand how someone can use Dualies like wowie zowie that's so weird™ 🤔🤔🤔🤔
My top five last favorite specials are in order from most hated to least: 1. wave breaker, 2. killer wail, 3. Tenta missles, 4. trizooka, and 5. booyah bomb.
Killer wail is hard to deal with when I use a Splatling or charger. So the kill wail is near the top of my least favorite specials too.
As dualie main yeah I’m 100% agree I also suffer and get mad with this specials especially gal with killer wale and the fact that gal got buffed makes me even more annoyed but great video Chase ❤
I never thought about which specials I hate the most in this game but I know for a fact that inkjet would place somewhere in my top 5. as a short range slayer player my role is to go in and get kills but when someone pops an inkjet I feel useless cause its hard asf to hit even when its in reach and then sometimes when it boosts I'm unable to hit it
Killer Wail is so annoying when you play sharking weapons :(
And dying from someone else's lasers is so not fun, especially with that damage buff
Nice video. Congratulations on 29,000 subscribers!
i dont mind facing crab because im a reeflux main but i really hate using it. I also completely understand the killer wail placement because it is a massive tetra counter and dualies overall
I can agree with all of your choices I’m a tetra main because I like your content.😊
As a sniper user, I agree with the killer whale opinion it is really annoying because you can’t ink turf to be able to move away from it and it gets you out of very good high ground
I totally agree with the Killer Wail take! I don't even play dualies, but that special makes me miserable-
Thank god I'm a Slosher Main and see Bubbler as a Minor inconvinience, Yeah, I almost forgot about wails buff that kills a dualie in the dodge roll endlag
i main stamper so i agree with that sentiment as well
I’ve been playing enperry a lot recently, and I have to agree that crab and wail just destroy me. I splashdown, crab gets me… I dodge roll, wail gets me!
My Top 3 are Missiles, Bubble, and (big gap) Wail. I say top 3 cuz I think every other special ok. Zooka panic shots, Stamp's huge radius in rush mode, and Kraken Clams cheese can also be mildly annoying but not as bad as the top 3
Omg. Yes killer wail will kill you so fast as a dualie player. The moment one targeted you, might as well not play the game.
I think killer wail 5.1 should of functioned more like Splatoon 1 killer wail, so it'll have a radius that extends trough the stage like killer wail and anyone who goes inside that radius gets tracked by the wails, it has a smaller radius and it's not insta kill like the OG killer wail but it lasts longer and it acts more of like a area denial. I think they could add it as a new mode that activates when you double tap L stick, then they could revert the damage buffs to the regular mode of killer wail 5.1
1: SplashDown
2: Killer Wail
3: Trizooka
4: Ultra Stamp
5: InkJet
I’ve played Gloogas a fair amount and man, Wail and especially Wave Breaker are awful to fight
I *am* an H-3 D main though, so I use Bubble often. But after fighting Rollers and Jrs, yeah, the beyblade launcher in the middle is pretty brutal. It’s caused me to sometimes not see people, and sometimes I’ve gotten shot through it. Meanwhile in other situations it’s just flatout invincible for the user in the center. It’s pretty scuffed. Unfortunately for Dualies the main counterplay to Bubble is mainly the specials due to the low object damage on the main
5. Ultra Stamp
4. Tenta Missiles
3. Kraken Royale
2. Wave Breaker
1. Killer Wail 5.1
This should've been called Duelies' LEAST favorite specials
Well no matter how different everyone's rank is, we can all agree on what to say about the.52 Gal:
"F*** that weapon!"
Honestly, I feel like .96 Gal is that weapon
8:32
I think I see TakoTruck cosplaying
1:10 ‘if it wasn’t for the recent patch..’ Chase that was almost a year ago
October 2023 is almost a year ago?
My list as a bucket main:
5. Triple ink strike
4. Inkjet
3. Trizooka
2. Triple splashdown
1. Kraken
I KNEW IT, OH GOD!
I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY KILLER WAIL.
I also knew you would joke about the trizooka but you even got me there xddd.
I knew It was killer wail because the same logic as Wave breaker, you are always on ground and you have to choose sometimes to kill or avoid.
If only my practice was as good as my theory...
And I am a Blaster player
Killer Wail is up there for me because of the latency. I can be doing nothing and then a Killer is targetted on me and I just get splatted with no other people shooting at me and I'm just trying to dodge it the whole time. It doesn't matter if the latency is that great. Similarly with the Ultra Hammer. If there's no latency, easy to splat it. Otherwise, I have to swim away and they have a huge hitbox like 5x more so I get splatted like a mile away.
I love Wavebreaker because I spam it and put a lot of pressure with it. No opinion against it tho.
Tenta missiles is the least annoying special to me since I constantly move. It gives plenty of time to dodge it too. Pretty much worthless.
I definitely agree about Killer Wail. I main Dualies and Splatanas but even when I'm not using Dualies I still hate it. The damage buff I think was so stupid. And hard agree 52Gal has got to me the most talentless shit in the game next to Brushes and those Aerospray/Sploosh players that do nothing but paint in Turf War.
Gonna have to disagree about Crab though. I love Crab Tank. It's why I often use V-Splat Dualies not to mention Neo Stamper and after the nerfs I think it's actually a cool and skillful special. It also kinda gets countered by nearly every other special not to mention Buckets and flanking Brushes plus Chargers/Bows can also snipe the pilot so I don't see how people find Crab to be annoying or OP anymore. Hard agree about 52Gal though. Among the most talentless weapons alongside Aerospray, Sploosh, Brushes and Rollers imo.
"if you're a dualie main you're nodding". me: Nodding
I was kind of hoping #1 would be Killer Wail. I was going to post about it regardless of what you said and ask for tips from others. I dodge it fairly well but still die from it more than I’d like.
If you have space around you, try and move slowly to avoid it rather than run.
Mine are booyah bomb(because it’s a panic button and can be hard to shred) and tripslashdown. I really wish they buffed it in some other way that’s not just three explosions. I feel like it can Kill you from so far away. It’s not that annoying but still annoying to deal with. also If the enemy uses it as a panic button and you still kill them you can still die even if you’re pretty far away.
I think that Crab Tank should have its range increase with firerate, just like the hydra has a shorter range if you don’t charge the first circle. (Only in PvP, not SR :))
I do really want that missile hitbox nerf in SR tho!
As a non duelie player I hate wail. It can instantly encumber 3 players for 6 seconds at any time from anywhere.
It’s a sting ray that targets multiple people with 0 risk.
As a brella main, I hate wave breaker because it breaks the brella's shield which is really the only good part of the weapon
If anything I expected Wave Breaker to be higher bc you use tetras since Wave Breaker is bad except against tetras and gloogas where Wave Breaker automatically negates both weapons.
As someone who has 4 stared 4/8 of the available Dualies in the game I can say the I agree with this list 100% because as Chase said it’s on the 52 gal f*ck that weapon
I used the Dread Wringer to get the holo sticker, and the amount of times I’ve exploded it and no one died even though they were right next to it is annoying. Please buff the blow up shark floaty bomb please Nintendo
That’s a funny top 5, because some of my fav weapons are: VStringer and NeoSploosh
Hope you hit 30K Chase. Anyway, I definitely agree with some of these opinions. Booyah bomb is fun to use but it is terrible to avoid it. Kraken too
Relatable list, but I love to see .52 gal hate especially. Screw that thing. And yet I bet the devs are itching to give it another buff and/or an amazing second kit…
why is giving it a good second kit bad
My LEAST favorite Specials in Splatoon 3
1.Booyah Bomb- I have never liked this special ever since it was introduced in Splatoon 2
2.Killer Wail 5.1- As a Dualie main, I can't stand going against this special
3.Wave Breaker- If I wasn't a Dualie main; I would think this special is harmless.
I just miss the old Killer Wail.
I would say that killer whale hurts more weapon then dulies, as a stringer main, I can’t get any shots out when there’s a whale.
As someone who frequently uses vBow, I will try to single out Dualies (or anything with end lag) with Wail
2:36 bro forgot that you could just... aim for the top of the bubble and it does the same thing.
The same criteria applies, that should be obvious. Do that if you're able to, but it's pretty hard to actually pull off if the enemy team is, you know... trying to shoot at you while you're aiming up high to shoot the top of the bubble
@@Chase247 In the context of dualies, it makes sense. But also I swear half the specials in the game (and some main weapons) just shred it regardless.
(Also I'm a Splat roller main with lots of bias.)
the only special I truly dislike is triple splashdown, though killerwail is annoying as well
I've read some threads on reddit a while ago and apparently most people dont have a problem with splashdown at all. Imo it is by FAR the strongest special in the entire game, nothing comes close to it. I gotta say there that Im fairly new the game (I started in september, currently in S rank) but my kill to death ration is relatively good. But splashdown and the bidet are things I greatly struggle with. If I dont die through superjumping or ganking, its most likely a bidet or the splashdown
right because triple splashdown is a required part of your comps
cooler, inkjet, zooka, crab, and so many specials are better than splashdown
3:07 I do that especially because I main Squiffer
Honestly, I also hate Killer Wail 5.1 too. When I have taken a lot of damage some Gal or Inkbrush users will activate the special.
I completely agree with you on killer wail 5.1
That special makes me want to quit this game
My top 5 : Chumps
Big bubbler
Screen
Inkjet
Zipcaster
I knew the number one was gonna be Killer Wail 5.1
I think it would be cool if crab had way shorter range, but was much more mobile
Screen is definitely one of my least favorite specials as I can never get anyone to run into it but that might be because im not using it properly
i use blasters, this is my top 5 (worst to fight against).
1. TRI SRTIKE. MAN THEY ARE ANNOYINGLY HARD TO DODGE WITH BLASTERS (my opinion)
2. Triple splashdown. also HARD AS HELL TO DODGE. i still like to play with it because i JUMPSCARE people with both the blaster and the splasdown
3. crab tank. same explanation
4. trizooka.
5. kraken.
I thought for sure #1 was going to be Tacticooler
As a VDapple main I entirely agree with this list
Even when I’m not playing dualies, I agree with all of these specials lol
I'm the exact same with killer wail. It's so annoying.
As someone who mainly uses slow backline weapons, zooka feels very unfair.
you don't fight missels, you dodge them
mine
5 Wave breaker
4 Kraken
3 Missile
2 Trizooka
1 Crab tank
The same specials on this list are in my list as well, except replace crab with zip caster
Is it bad that I love Missiles on the Flingza Roller?
Me too bro i can’t stand killer wail. If I shoot with tent while it’s on me I die
I thought the number one special was gonna be wail because holy playing tetras or gloogas into wail is so annoying
I completly understand this whole teir list 😮
I don‘t main dualies and Killer Wail is still one of the most annoying specials to face for me
