How to Use Hydra Splatling Effectively



Use the weapon's high rate-of-fire in exchange for mobility.

Play a defensive role to compensate for your lack of mobility. The Hydra Spatling's high rate-of-fire and great damage will put pressure on enemies that are trying to break your defensive lines.

Seek out hidden enemies with the Autobomb.

You will not be able to quickly check corners due to your slow movement. Use the Autobomb to automatically track enemies lurking around the corners.

Use the Booyah Bomb at the right time since it can be hard to fill up the Special Gauge.

Booyah Bombs can be channeled into more power by sending and receiving Booyahs from your teammates.
