Is Comeback Better Than Last-Ditch Effort in Splatoon 3?

[@EarthRyno]

Awesome break down! It seems like most conversations just recommend LDE because 'bigger number,' but this threw in more nuance for why CB could give you more value in the long run. Thanks for making this. :)

What made LDE the go to ability in Splatoon 2 even on frontline short range weapons was mainly due to how special spam and global range heavy the meta was and ultimately ended as. The direction Splatoon 2 went in with its game design was to encourage conservative and non-risky plays, dying was especially detrimental. In Splatoon 3 however, more aggressive playstyles are promoted, further supported with tacticooler, tri-zooka, etc.. Tenta missiles aren't as popular as they were, and LDE got nerfed after this video was posted. Comeback actually became more valuable than LDE, especially on the short range weapons. For as much flag as I give Splatoon 3, it at least gave headgear more diversity in terms of viable abilities while also having a more solid meta despite the lack of substantial balance changes.

Comeback can be used as some kind of pacifist inker with Quick Respawn and a weapon that inks a lot of turf :0

[@FoXTR8]

Yeah the only weapon I use LDE on is jr because of bomb spam. Every other frontline weapon I insta pick comeback

[@Sqwivig]

I like to pick Comeback for frontline slayer weapons, and LDE for midline and backline weapons. Comeback is pretty useless for Heavy Splatling or Hydra Splatling, but LDE is perfect for them. They are both really good tho and I often struggle to pick one when both abilities work well with the weapon I'm using.

[@NinjaYoshi888]

Yeah agreed. I use comeback on splash. I didnt know that comeback worked with all those abilities even when I dint have them on. All I have run and swim speed on it for subs, so i thought it only worked for those 2. But it's nice it gives me all those abilities even if I'm not wearing them like ink saver and stuff that's awsome. I think comeback is better for things like splash or frontline. i think LDE is better for things that have lower paint and need those ink tank advantages. (Squeezer, sometimes splattershot) but I think LDE is great just on things like splattershot or squeezer for example. But for comeback, it gives you all of those for 10ap all of those which is really really good. Comeback > LDE.

[@NeilNSD]

LDE is definitely good though. I'd say they're equally as good.

[@eligamerman]

Thanks for this video, was looking for a comparison between these 2 abilities 👍

[@NeilNSD]

Glad I could help!

[@vertical6866]

very informative video thank you :)

[@NeilNSD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jayden8806]

When it comes to the buffs comeback gives you, do you need those ability’s on your gear for it to buff you or does it give you those buffs without them on your gear? I know it may seem stupid but im a lil slow-

[@NeilNSD]

No you get the buffs regardless of your gear!

[@NightmaresGirl]

Does comeback AP stack with current AP from gear?

[@NeilNSD]

Yes it does.
