How to Use Splattershot Jr. Effectively

Focus on inking. Use Splat Bombs in combat. Use Big Bubbler defensively.

Take advantage of the high inking potential by providing support for your team by ink tagging huge areas for swimming.

As an all-around weapon, this gun is great for coating areas. When you're not engaging in fights, start shooting ink at the ground to coat huge areas with ink to provide quicker movement for your team.

Use the Splat Bomb to compensate for Splattershot Jr's combat power.

Although a weak offensive weapon, you can use Splat Bombs to weaken or insta-splat enemies to compensate for it.

Use Big Bubbler defensively and when allies are in danger.

You will most probably be in the middle of the battlefield, so make sure to use Big Bubbler in dangerous situations to save you and your team from a wipeout!
