Secrets to Enjoying Splatoon 2 for a Long Time! Recommended Weapons and Positioning Tips

Introduces the appeal of the long-lasting masterpiece game 'Splatoon 2' and recommended weapons for beginners (Splattershot Jr., various Rollers, etc.). A play diary aimed at enjoying matches while maintaining an A+ to S+ rank in Ranked Battles.

Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is probably the game I’ve played the longest in my life. I’ve barely played the story mode, but the 4v4 online matchmaking is very well done. Being able to play against people around my skill level gives it a captivating appeal that never gets old. Also, it is fun to read the movement patterns of both opponents and teammates and think of strategies to win.

Weapons

The weapons I use most often, in order, are the “Foil Squeezer”, “Splattershot Jr.”, “Splat Roller”, and “Foil Flingza Roller”. The “Splattershot Jr.” is a beginner-friendly weapon, and I used it a lot in the early stages.

The turf inked points for each are as follows:

WeaponTurf Inked
Flingza Roller6,636,594p
Splat Roller6,200,629p
Splattershot Jr.4,211,759p
Foil Squeezer744,678p
Splattershot301,238p

Regarding Level

I’ve been going back and forth between A+ and S+, and I’ve been stuck unable to climb to the upper tiers of S+ for a while now. However, rather than trying to climb to the top, I feel like I’m playing just to enjoy the matches. (If I get too high up, the opponents get stronger and the tension rises, making it less enjoyable.)

Play Time

My playtime has exceeded 2,500 hours.

Future Goals

My goal is to maintain my game level and have fun playing, but I would like to max out my money and gear. Since Splatoon 3 came out, matchmaking has been taking longer and sometimes fails entirely, so I want to keep playing while hoping the player base doesn’t decrease any further.
