I think the word you wanted to describe edit's usage was "underutilized" as it is used but not to it's full potential or full utility

[@StarryMirage]

It's a bit tragic but also funny that a lot of these questions would go away if H-3 Nozzlenose just gets buffed in all the right ways, because that would then be the solid midline Cooler option that you would want.

[@agentblackbird9435]

As an H-3 main, I don’t know what could be done to fix the main outside of giving it the damage increase to 2 shot like in Splatoon 1 and 2. It also definitely needs mobility buffs, because its strafe speed is not good. It sucks too because it’s hard for me to play it at a casual level. Point sensor isn’t great for it Imo, but we’ve seen other weapons with point sensor, like Glooga or Machine, get around their sub with a good special. So why can’t H-3 do the same?

[@birb0gaming]

As an Edit main, I’m completely baffled this kit exists Edit with crab was my dream kit, I didn’t care what sub it got I just wanted crab. I didn’t expect them to actually give it crab, not to mention the splat bomb which was an even bigger surprise than the crab. I would’ve been fine with point sensor or beacons, hell, I would’ve been fine with SPRINKLER. But no, the dev finally obtained their cooking license and decided to give this thing its god aggro kit.

[@closetedfurry6018]

Such a mood. I've been waiting since launch to get a Crab Tank Splatling at all. Took almost 2 years of manifesting for it to finally happen... Even crazier we finally got a Splat Bomb Splatling back since vHydra in S1. The kit is a dream kit for most weapons in the game, and they gave it to Edit of all things. It already was the most fun Splatling in the game for me and getting a kit that goes this hard is literally a years-long dream come true. The devs beat the fraud allegations with this alone as far as I'm concerned. I'm unironically never complaining about this game again when the stars aligned and made this kit real.

[@TailsOfTheEclipse]

As a fellow edit player. I had the exact same reaction.

[@FinnishArsonist]

For subs, I wanted wall would have made like a scuffed 52 gal, but getting jumpscared by a splat bomb is definitely welcome

[@Mr._Kagle]

​@@FinnishArsonist 100% agreed. There isn't a single splatling with wall in this game, and that makes no sense to me because the sub works so well with the weapon class!

[@ComfiestBlanket]

Edit player here. I am super hyped for this kit, Crab is exactly what I wanted on Edit Nouveau, so I’m happy with the special. The sub on the other hand, even after watching the video, I’m still not the biggest fan of Splat Bomb on Edit. My main issue is that it has the S1 VHydra problem to a lesser extent: it’s only really going to use it as a get off me tool since the long charge time doesn’t let it capitalize on the distance pressure &/or combo potential as much as other weapons. Now this isn’t as big of a problem since Edit’s more ink efficient & has a somewhat faster charge time than Hydra, but if Splat Bomb is going to be put on a splatling, I’d much prefer it go to a 3rd Mini. Its charge time is fast, it’s even more ink efficient, & it needs the poking range a bomb can provide more than Edit does. I really wish that they put Beacon on this kit, it would’ve brought back a playstyle similar to S2 BPN on a different but similar weapon which we didn’t get on S3 BPN since it got Mine. At the end of the day, this is a good kit which I’ll play & enjoy a lot because I love Edit & this kit does seem like it’ll be fun, but I’d still prefer we got the kit I was hoping for.

[@chunkymonkey7983]

Yeah I agree, I feel like their have been a lot of kits in the past that could have really used a splat bomb, but didn't get one. Idk why they finally gave it to edit of all options, but I think it will be alright.

[@ComfiestBlanket]

@@chunkymonkey7983 True, Edit Nouveau will be in a really good spot balance wise, which makes me happy. I’d rather be slightly disappointed by a kit that will still be good & fun than highly disappointed by a bad & unfun kit.

[@PerfectDarkly]

If Splat Charger gets to have a Get Off Me bomb, I'm perfectly fine with Edit getting the same. It's probably the Splatling that needs the longest setup time to be its most efficient behind Hydra, and unlike Hydra it has to do so at front/midline positions where it's at higher risk of getting rushed down. Maybe Wall would've made more sense for both Edit and Crab mains, but I'm personally tired of seeing combos that I'd like to use held back by defensive utility subs in this game. Splat Bomb will be a good anti-sniper tool as well, a quick option for a Splatling user to displace or even kill backliners that are hawking their every move. This will just be a very flexible aggro kit in general I feel, I think I'll have fun with it

[@ComfiestBlanket]

@@PerfectDarkly Fair enough. I still stand what by I said, but I also believe your points are valid & I agree Edit Splat Crab will be a fun aggro kit.

[@mediocolor8159]

The irony of a weapon finally getting a splat bomb and having it probably be worse than if it had a utility sub

Really no beakon on a splatling? It’s one of the best weapon classes to have it. Unless hydra was stacked with sub saver in the trailer but I doubt it.

I wonder if there's a weapon or strat that could enable double Heavy Edit... But hey, there will almost certainly be someone experimenting with that team comp!

[@TheBoodercg]

He said “THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT” 😂😂😂 Yes this weapon is crazy

[@godofwar2011]

It is extremely unlikely that Dousers get line marker because I’m sure someone would have noticed it in the trailer. Burst bomb is more stealthy but I’m sure someone would have noticed a marker at least somewhere.

[@slyllamademon2652]

Edit can actually jump while under the effects of cooler or a main of intensify action. It helps with pushing down ramps or over short cover. So this thing can attack places you’d normally expect to be safe from splatlings.

[@ajmoment8091]

Honestly as far as S3 is concerned Edit probably has the best kit luck of any weapon. 2 kits with bombs and syngergistic top tier specials that open up team comps is genuinely crazy.

[@InklingB617]

[@verrrrrmichelle]

[@nonameyoutubenomad2918]

"Save backless comps"? I thought the Heavy Edit was a backliner. That's how I have been playing it.

[@flango348]

No, it’s not even close. You play it as an anchor, but that’s just so you don’t lose your cooler. Without cooler, it has no reason to backline.

[@rubyyrare]

it's midline at best as *squiffer* outranges it, the cooler kit just prioritizes living more so you can get as many as you can, so it fits the anchor role for an aggressive comp

[@Iinneus]

Yeah, if you're mistaking 'backliner' for 'anchor', then yes, that's what you're thinking of! Terms like "Frontliner" and "Backliner" talk about where weapons play and position themselves due to their range and style of fighting. Terms like "Slayer" and "Anchor" talk about the kinds of things they do during a match as a result of... well, a _lot_ of factors, honestly, from "what kit do you have" to "what is currently happening in the match" So the video is essentially... "Heavy Edit is a weapon with long charge times but powerful attacks, so no one wants to run a _Backliner_ with it (weapons that generally always have these same traits), but it's almost always seen playing the *Support* and *Anchor* roles. It would be nice to see Edit Nouveau change that."

[@IIDXZERKO]

Heavy Edit is a midline weapon.

[@Moss._King]

As someone who typically plays Hydra Splatling, Heavy Edit has been feeling real nice

[@laminmbaye8412]

edit is one on my 2 mains (other being Naut), I love running around charging on uninked ground and hiding behind off angles, the shot velocity + run speed lets you be a demon esp with cooler, splat bomb & crab will really push that play style for me!

[@OrangeDuster]

Ok im sorry. But can we all agree that heavy edit got THE BEST set of kits in splatoon 3? Like it got cooler and crab. 2 of the literal best specials in this game On top of that it got SPLAT BOMB for its crab kit. And curling isnt terrible for it either

[@chunkymonkey7983]

Curling is better than splat bomb on it imo

[@flango348]

@@chunkymonkey7983I’d say that the specials are good for the kits they are on, the vanilla stays alive to charge cooler so it doesn’t need an aggressive sub. While the Nedit can be a bit more aggressive and it has a sub to support that.

[@aronspiker72]

I was thinking that getting jet or Booyah on edit was extreme copium for me as I was expecting ink vac or screen. I never considered crab because I was sure that Hydra would be getting crab if any weapon from this season was at all. Instead, the timeline I got is crab on the splatling I like better, an interesting Hydra kit, an excuse for me to try Bamboo, two fun Wellspring kits even if they aren't strong, a new blaster for me to play once I 4 star S-Blast 91, and 2 great splatana kits including my favorite special Inkjet on a Frontline weapon.

[@celestialspark5697]

The kit seems strong, but it will be kind of weird playing it in solo queue because of just how much the main weapon wants to fight with cooler. The additional strafe speed and ink res are astronomically powerful on it. When you don't randomly get a cooler teammate, you're a lot weaker in fights, and you might end up having to play passively to get to your crab even though you wanted to be aggressive.
