Splatoon 2 - How to Use Kensa Collection 4

[@flz_5848]

“People will think you’re good with this weapon, when in actuality, it’s just very easy to use.” You’re right and I don’t like that.

[@-ers7827]

What can I say? I just use it to shoot the tower from safe distance. In B- But atleast I don't use the clash blaster!

[@Zoe-oq6id]

Never have I ever been offended by something so much that I 100% agree with

Hemkesh Sharma why don’t people use it more often? It has great rng, can paint pretty well, and it’s fast fire rate is basically like a slightly inferior splattershot pro.

[@Mrblobbybobby]

1:02 I know you're joking, but for everyone else the way the 52 and 96 Gals work is that their accuracy decreases the longer you shoot for, so if you miss your first few shots it's a good idea to stop shooting for about 3/4 of a second to reset your accuracy! Full details from the wiki: The .52 Gal starts off having a 2% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle. This chance increases by 4% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle. Meaning that it takes 6 shots to reach minimum accuracy. When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%. When not shooting, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum. Meaning that it takes 46 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (76 after shooting while jumping.)

oh woa, i didnt know that!!! thats gonna help me out a bunch!!! ty!!

[@toastbread2263]

I main the kensa .52 gal and the best thing to do is always go for a quick kill. Yeah bloopers happen ,but when you have swim speed and ninja squid you can easily try for the kill again. I also like to use splash wall more for my teammates, particularly the snipers. Just deploy it near them. And booyah bomb. Oh booyah bomb 💕. Anywyas if you have a lot of speed you're op. Good slayer weapon if you have the right abilities.

[@MrRukrio1]

also said references are on point. you could be the most seasoned Fighter in the land with 4 attacks per attack action and able to double that with an action surge, but all that is thrown out of the door if you get multiple nat 1s somehow. alternatively if for some reason you land a max damage fireball spell thanks to all the dice rolled as 6s... it'll feel fucking amazing.

[@CaptainAstronaut]

Hi Thanks for watching!! Minor clarification in this video: The Glooga Dualies have longer range than all other Dualies except for the Dualie Squelchers. However the range of the Gloogas increases immediately after a roll to match that of the Dualie Squelchers. Also apparently Dapple Dualies are also a 3-shot kill? I haven't used them in over a year, so I forgot what they do. If you have a question for the 10K sub Q&A that will happen towards later this month, reply to this comment and I'll definitely see it! OR you can reply to the pinned tweet on my twitter (@CptAstro) (and tbh twitter follower's questions will take precedence over YT comments). If you already posted a question on the Bloblobber video, there's no need to post the same question again here, I'll see it there!

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Gloogas (from a man of 9+ months of experience with the Decos) are rough. They really need buffs considering the spot they're in (outclassed by the Dapples in close range, outclassed by the Dualie Squelchers at long range), but underestimating a Glooga player is the biggest mistake you could ever make. We only got one buff, one single buff to the range of the ink after a roll, but that was the only buff we needed at the time. But, as the meta has shifted, as the other weapons kept coming, we reached a point where this underappreciated series of weapons had possibly the most counters of any weapon (or at least Dualie) in the game. Rapid blaster does more damage with less aim and more range, Dualie Squelchers have more accuracy and range with a similar time to kill, Ballpoint shreds, 96 gal shreds, don't get me started on the bloblobbers. Glooga Dualies (as a whole) are stuck with some of the most average - mediocre kits in the entire game. Default Gloogas are not even usable at this point considering Inkjet isn't great anymore and your sub might as well be an empty slot. Gloogas Deco are my favourite thanks to the synergy of Splash wall and the roll, and the baller is really good for pushes, but it's situational. Kensa Gloogas are probably overall the most well rounded kit, thanks to getting extra range from Fizzy bomb and having Ink armour for team support (plus it's neat that Gloogas get to have a kit with a special that you can't get on any other pair of dualies again after the Decos were robbed of baller exclusivity). We must all call out for a Glooga buff. Thank you for reading this far if you have, I just wanted to say that Gloogas are in a tight spot, but that won't get me anywhere without justification.

[@crispy3325]

sonic sucks In my opinion

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Deku Scrub And that has relevence because?

[@thatoneguywhoowns2cats704]

As a Klooga main I must say these are in a good spot right now. Their biggest problem has emerged in September 2018 , when Kensa dualies were added with Baller. That led to make both vanilla and Deco Gloogas obsolete and there was little reason to use them over Enperries and Kensies respectively. But then came the special requirement nerfs as well as the introduction of Kensa Machine that became one of the best counters to these weapons. In December Kloogas were added. And that's a good thing because they finally gave it a way to differentiate from the meta guns. Kloogas are decidedly support guns , and their kit give it an advantage that their other variants don't have : they aren't reliant on positionning. The main is a 2HKO ,12 Frame TTK with 3 lines of range in turret mode. Fizzy can be used for turf control and the special supports your team at any range. But that kit makes Gloogas have to compete with vanilla .96 and H-3 D. Fortunately , the former sees very little use and clearly doesn't have the sub to make up for that , while the latter requires too much aim to kill as consistently as Gloogas do. With that said it is worth noting that Kloogas are the only dualies with that kit which means it is kinda similar to CDS in some way : make good use of your mobility options and provide support. Glooga dualies are pretty much what ALL dualies should have been and just because they focus more on the properties of the rolls doesn't mean they are bad : they're pretty much the only dualies with a high skill ceiling , their shtick revolves around the turret mode , with that 0.6 normal strafe and the fact that they gain the biggest buffs out of all dualies after a roll.

[@timm8o475]

A couple extra things about gear abilities for Kensa Rapid and Gloogas. Rapid and its torpedos LOVE Ink Saver Sub. They're a good cover option when approaching. And for the Gloogas, if you stack one main and four subs of Ink Saver Sub, you can throw two fizzy bombs from a full ink tank! Fizzies are really great at disrupting opponents and reaching areas you can't hit with your main weapon.

If it's like OP, then it can be called a Kensa-r weapon. Actually im not sure if anyone got that pun

[@dillonie]

[@MFjackson]

Just a tip for the Gloogas: When you get in a battle you should roll once and take a few shots to get the maximum damage and range for a quick and easy kill. If you miss the shots then you can re-adjust your position once by using your second roll and you should be able to get the shots off, of course don't roll if the situation is bad and rolling would put you in a worse position

[@gronnlundfrompaga1775]

so I would like to comment on 2things: 1, 5:41 ink saver sub is more useful on kensa rapid, sense if you know how to use them they(along with fizzy bomb)are the 2strongest sub weapons in the entire game acording to top competative players so investing in them is realy good~ also 1main 1sub gives you 1more shot after throwing one, so there is that~ 2, using 1main and 4subs of ink saver sub alows you to throw out 2fizzy bombs at once so while using gloogas, you could throw out 2, activate armor, throw out 2more and deal huge amounts of preasure~ also something good to keep in mind is that using 1main 1sub of sub power up alows you to trow fuzzys furthen then any weapon in the entire game exept for the E-liter~

[@kanjigodomo9696]

There's actually a funny story with the DnD reference. One time when my cousin and I were playing, and we were on our way to this dormant volcano (this was both of our first campaign and it was based more on my cousin's time playing Dragon Quest, I'm 25 and my cousin is 13, leave her alone), and our team (we each played two characters and went tit for tat DMing) got ambushed by goblins one morning. None of us had our weapons, none of us had our armor or shields, nor did our spellcasters (a cleric, a paladin, and a wizard) get any of their spells prepared yet. So we rolled for initiative, and my cleric was one of the early ones. We were underprepared, had pretty much nothing, and I look my cousin in the face, and tell her that I'm going to punch one of the goblins. I rolled for it, I think I got a natural 20, and just one-punched a goblin (bear in mind this just an ordinary, female, human, tempest domain cleric, I just had her strength maxed out after her wisdom). After that, she grabbed her buckler and war hammer as we continued to fight the rest of the goblins (there were literally eight goblins that came and attacked us).

I haven't exactly tried the Rapid Blaster yet, but I was pretty impressed with the Kensa Rapid Blaster when I took it to the practice range. I was able to get a quick kill with a Torpedo direct and a blaster direct. (Of course, pulling that off in a real match is much easier said than done, no doubt.) Also, the Rapid Blaster has a similar range to the Range Blaster, and I feel like my entire (admittedly short) career as a blaster main has been a complete lie.

Ballpoint is allowed to exist cause it can't do shit against chargers. It takes about a second of charging and firing before it can out range the charger, and then you still have to hit three slower shots. Not to mention it's first kit is unusable, it has no air charging so superjumps are even more dangerous, and the second kit still doesn't have any sub that supports combat.

[@nimroddafny7125]

While I'm not a pro I know Rapid Pro more than any other weapon so let me say a few things about Kensa Rapid: 1. Maybe you know that but you didn't mention it so I'll say it in case that you don't know- Blasters have a third hitbox. If you hit a solid object (Usually the ground) close to someone you'll deal damage. For Rapids that hitbox deals 17.5 damage points so when combined with 85.0 from a direct hit... 2. You do realize that most of the weapons in the game are "easy mode" right? Almost anything that isn't a Charger is easy to play at least decently with. Moreover based on my experience in solo (As I said I'm not a pro) people that use something like Tentatek aim a lot worse to the point where sometimes I legit get in close range and get a splat (Sometimes I don't even need to hit them indirectly).

[@Joeyintensifies]
