How to Use Tri-Stringer Effectively

Surround yourself with your team's ink. Learn the weapon's different charge levels. Shoot from a vantage point to stay safe.

Be mindful that your footing remains on your turf.

You're going to be often immobile as you'll be charging the Tri-Stringer a lot for combat. Be sure to stay on your team's inked areas so you can swim away to safety if the situation gets out of hand.

Familiarize yourself with the different levels of charge that the Tri-Stringer offers.

When facing multiple enemies, use the Tri-Stringer's horizontal attack by charging and releasing while standing on the ground. If you enter a duel with a single enemy, charge and then release while jumping in the air to fire a vertical shot at your target. All fully charged shots release three inked shots each so be sure to take advantage of this to maximize your damage!

Shoot from a vantage point to stay safe.

This weapon is a medium-ranged weapon and works best when keeping your distance as charging up leaves you vulnerable for a short period of time. Look out for high vantage points preferably a place where the enemy team will have to take time to adjust their aim such as on top of boxes and obstacles.
