This Weapon Fell Off

[@ProChara]

Cooler def hurts tetras but I think they would be fine with a good kit, the lack of one is what really kills it to me, wiper is fine even though cooler also hurts it because the kit gives it use cases, tetras just have half kits which sucks honestly.

[@HenBurgerBurger]

tetra crab + torp kit when

[@yoshidude8345]

But if Tetras never get their 3rd kit, they need to either tone back cooler, or giga buff slider and sprinkler.

[@ayetrigga5691]

Agree

[@rodrigovicopadilla5259]

Just for the fact that you play weapons that aren't in the meta for fun, you deserve my like. I wish all Splatoon 3 players thought like you, my main is the octobrush and I play it for fun, it's frustrating that Rank X is full of splattershots and trizookas and that you can't do anything in the game because in your team there is one less trizooka than in the opponent team that destroys you every time that you try to help your team... I understand you and support your philosophy... You are a nice guy Chase :) :) :)

[@Chase247]

Appreciate it!!

[@landonjoy522]

honestly tretras were my gateway into getting good at dualies and after that i soon just started falling in love with gloogas and after glooga decos released that really cemented me as a glooga main.

[@somedude-my4im]

Literally same

[@macd-man3787]

dude fr. once I got good with dodge rolling and didn't enjoy feeding so much, not to mention much better kit, it was gloogas all the way

[@jakemcl6057]

I’m a splat dualies main, and tetras were always my second option, but when DD came out I loved them and it was too weird to switch from 4 dodge rolls to 1. I’m just not really that good with them, the DD did something to my brain lol

[@yaya6195]

I never have to worry about my main falling off because it was never on 😭 (glooga main)

[@Chase247]

Lucky for you right now they are the best they have ever been hahaha

[@HenBurgerBurger]

3:15 Another thing I’d like to mention-you’ve heard of Orion, I think you played with him during the S3 World Premiere, he played tetras for Alliance Rogue (i think?) and played in this super slayer-esque playstyle with a bunch of qsj + qr rather than the distraction method. It actually had a lot of success as a slayer weapon because of the kill time for its range and the 4 dodge rolls allow for good spacing and easier positioning. I’ve seen a couple tetras like that on some Dapple Productions-ran tournaments and it’s pretty cool. Maybe we should started shifting to a new tetra play style? Idk, just a thought.

[@victini_10]

i dont think orion plays anymore but i could be wrong on that

[@alexouu...9624]

Well, i'd say QSJ + QR allows Tetra to dive at the enemy constantly in order to draw attention. Imo a "slaying" weapon is a weapon that can get double or triple kills, kill more than die. Good Tetra players will die a lot more than they kill (the standard Tetra k/d is something like 7-15), simply because they can't play like traditionnal slayers (thanks to its horrendous kits for slaying, and its 4-shot kill with bad RNG, making it lose its 1v1s against most slayers like Splattershot or 52). I unfortunately think Tetra's purpose is irrelevant now because of Tacticooler allowing every weapon to dive like Tetra used to, because there's no penalty in death under the beverage's effect. And locking a Tetra in a team composition means you'll have a Reefslider most of the time, which limits your options a lot (when you wanna push or defend)

[@_GloStick]

Interesting idea but cooler ALSO gives every weapon the ability to do this 😭😭 So atp why pick tetra when you can pick some frontline that acc has a good special, vdualies being a really good option in this case.

[@HenBurgerBurger]

@@_GloStick You do make a great point, vdualies are arguably a better slayer. honestly i'm just better at tetras than pretty much anything else and don't feel like investing time. I might later.

[@HenBurgerBurger]

@@alexouu...9624 yeah, i totally see what you mean but Orion was just different - he did get those triple kills and it was insane. Pretty sure he left comp, but yes I see what you mean. He had overwhelmingly positive K/A consistently, compared to some top JP tetras that play more of the distraction role. long live tetras

[@terretro3623]

Partially off topic but I’ve been recently trying to rebalance the game through modding and something I did for Tetra was 30 damage and removing 20 frames of the reefslider endlag. I think it’d still struggle into cooler but I wanted to try to make one of the kits more self sufficient and able to kind of push on its own. As for the Light kit, I actually swapped Sprinker with dart. Hear me out with it. I made the tripwire do damage so it can combo off of it. What do you think?

[@Chase247]

I've always wanted dart on tetra! Good changes also

[@_orangeonion]

0:45 I used to use it for the 1-star reward (Sheldon License). It's really great, but other weapons are easier to use.

[@tarosykes]

So you used it for like, 10 matches? xD

[@_orangeonion]

@@tarosykes 1star a weapon doesn’t need that much games. I used it for 7 turf wars( i was really bad at that time🫠)

[@Str1ke-YT]

Started as a tetra main, will forever stay a tetra main🤝 (But yeah uh, im coping using this weapon-)

[@marcuscuscus]

Tetras were the first weapon I ever picked up - I’d never played before the splat 3 testfire - and I continued using them regularly for around 6 months. When light tetras came out, I dropped the vtetras entirely, but the new ones took over their place (albeit I played them at a reduced rate). I still go back to them on occasion, but learning a bunch of other weapons has both changed my playstyle preferences and brought to light the weapon’s (and my own) flaws, like low kill time and a skill ceiling requiring high dedication. I tend to play slower, harder-hitting weapons now, so swapping between their playstyles is quite jarring and I play with them quite poorly in comparison. If only light tetras got fizzy I imagine I’d be saying something completely different 😅

[@dededont]

I also started splatoon w the s3 test fire and also liked the tetras, but over time I tried other weapons until I eventually landed on nautilus.

[@MosesX-Labs]

I was also using Tetras in the testfire Splatfest. I also tried using the Dualies since I never played Splatoon 1 or 2. After that I started to like how the Dualie Squelchers felt because of their longer distance, their ability to shoot while rolling, and the easy to use Bomb and Special. Now I've been trying to level up my other weapons and see if I like any. So far I've had some fun with Tristringer and Sploosh, but I think I'll stick to Squelchers as a main.

[@iro756]

I think Tacticooler also benefits Tetras the least, as the difference in respawn time is low, spending time rolling renders most speed buffs useless, and also (in the case of Dark) it doesn't really care about the special saver. Also, the most popular tacticooler weapon now is pencil, and the matchup is HORRIBLE. I now use the Splat Dualies instead of Tetras and Stamper instead of Wiper when trying to win a hard match, but will still play them as I still find the playstyle very fun.

[@EchoSynthesis]

I stopped maining tetras after drizzle season bc I could tell they were becoming weaker. It was just way harder to keep up with all the faster weapons. Although I did pick up splat dualies as I knew I could play them and are much faster

[@lazdahuman]

I used to be able to pocket Tetras alongside Stamper and my main Wiper, since I was clearly a QR weapon enthusiast - and I still am, but now Tetras don't work for me and Stamper has become an entirely different weapon that barely runs QR, plus Wiper, the best remaining QR weapon, is stuck in midtier hell. As it stands now, my weapon pool only contains Wiper as a leftover from when it was a high-tier, as well as the new, reworked Stamper, and for pocket weapons, Sorella Brella and Snipewriter 5H.

[@Wackerrs]

I used lots of dark tetra on launch, but I started using wiper more after charas vid. I was very excited for light tetra, and got it to four stars, but after I got gold zip (from stamper), the weapon didn’t feel the same because of cooler

[@dreamy_sparks]

After I found your channel I mained them for a very long time, I only played Tetras for almost a year, 5 starred them and even made it to top 500 for the very first time which was a big accomplishment for me! At some point I just tried other weapons more and I was much more satisfied with normal duallies because of the quicker kill time, sub and special. Now I main Stamper and Duallies but I wanna thank you for showing me how cool Tetras are and making all of this possible❤

[@TTG_JG]

Awesome vid Chase

[@lemonaid65]

Give Tetra a special version of Tacticooler at 1P that it can only use for itself and then, it will be competitively viable 😂

[@ClusterVolt]

I primarily use the ZipCaster variant with Rainmaker because of the turret mode, the sprinkler helps pop the rainmaker and the ZipCaster gets the opponent holding the rainmaker if they retreat to spawn at endgame. Other than that I stick with other ZipCaster weapons. I no longer use the Reefslider Tetras, especially since the new ones came out.

[@NoahGonze-td9bf]

I main the light tetras but I haven’t used them that much recently because I feel burned out with them, and when I feel better the high skill sealing makes it hard for me to get back into the groove of them

[@GigaBlift]

While the insane quick respawn given by cooler did make the whole role of the tetras overall weaker, the thing that did it for me was simply the speed. I mained tetras because of how fast I was able to play with them - zooming around the map like a madman with all the mobility tools it has (including cooler), but since everyone else can play just as fast, it doesn't feel as good and isn't nearly as effective. Both in comp and solo-. That being said, I only ever play them if I feel like the map rotation is good for them. Even the weaker dualies feel better more often than not; even dapples and squelcher in some situations

[@Green-xh2rr]

Tetras will always be my go to weapon, there’s just no other weapon that has the same feeling tetras have for me. I actually remember getting into them because of your splatoon 2 guide and an old video where you went through all of the dualies at the start of splatoon 3, and they have been my main ever since

[@OctoAri]

Dapples were my very first ever dualie weapon and they’re my first love. When NDapple was announced to have reefslider, I picked up Dark Tetra to keep learning how to dualie as well as pick up on ways to use reefslider (LMAO I KNOW but I was stubborn and being in a low level team allowed for this type of experimentation). Since then, Dark Tetras have become my comfort weapon. I find that even with the zombie playstyle, it’s easier to fit them in soloq than dapples are. People have no idea how to play on a team with dapples 😭 TLDR: I love my bottom tier dualies lol. Dark Tetras especially

[@Central_74]

I do still play tetras from time to time (mainly the light variant) due to it being pretty fun to use, but I don’t use them as frequently because I found options I like to play and enjoy a lot more.

[@Spookie_Dookie_Pookie]

In the beginning of splatoon 3, I used to main tetras for the first few seasons. Id say the reason why I stopped was because I am a player who likes versatility for the weapons I play. But also one of my friends I realized fit the style way more than I did. So i encouraged him to play them while I played weapons I liked with more range and versatility. So my friend ended maining tetras while I went on finding other weapons to play, and ended up finding my new main that way.

[@dimerandomguy]

In Splatoon 2 I was your casual, dumb look, bad gear, and played shooters guy. In Splatoon 3 I saw Retraso being at an ok level, and since I was trash and died a lot, I said: -Huh, this weapon could suit me. In the last days I finished my Tetra build. Which consists in 32 ap of qr and support subs (including swim speed and intensify action.) Now I just play for fun. I hope tetra gets a better kit:D

[@Chickenchong1209]

I pretty much never use the tetra dualies but now and then I pick them up just for a little bit of fun. Even though their kits are not the best I always thought they were interesting but what stops me from using them for rank climbing is their lack of usage… I never really see players using them BUT if the devs can maybe change their kits I think they MIGHT make a come back (I love the vids chase!! You’ve gained a new sub!)

[@alfernix]

Tetras are my favourite weapons, I've never stopped using them for being really fun to use, specially combined with the Zipcaster, and I don't I'll never feel that they're that bad since I always feel I'm playing good with them, also because I don't even play too much Ranked modes and in Turf Wars they're always good for me.

[@_KALEB42]

Occasionally because I play more of a variety of weapons

[@Stavroula1999]

I started maining tetras in splat 2 and continued into 3 for a while, even playing competitively for a bit. But I took a huge break from splatoon and when I came back, besides that I was out of shape while everyone moved on, I could see a bunch of weapons with better range, better firing speed and of course better sub and ulti weapon. It was almost impossible for me to keep up with it and heartbreaking to see them die, so I had to learn another weapon and I picked up Eliter. I'm not someone who mains a bunch of weapons. I learn one thing and stick to it. I continue to play some tetra duealies because I am too attached to them to let them go, and I had some amazing matches in the splatfest 2 days ago, but I don't main them anymore. All in all, I agree with everything you've said but like another comment said, it's fun to try and work out a weapon that has become so weak 😊

[@Cristtington]

During the S3 testfire, I liked to use tetras and splat dualies, but at the time, I couldn’t use crab tank and thought it sucked, so I used the v tetra for the testfire and first few days of S3’s release. I realized I started getting worse at tetras and wasn’t as good as it as I was in the previous game, but after that experience, I went back to the Splat Dualies and I haven’t dropped in since

[@Champeonic]

Chase made me a duelie main. The tetras are probably my least used duelies mainly because I can't aim while dodging but dousers are my favorite duelies now.

[@ChloeTaylor-rs6lu]

0:46 I ended up using tetras less because I began getting bored with them, that and new weapons 😅

[@kirbo7762]

As of now, I am a splatana stamper main who is comfortable using any splatana, blaster, or dualie. However, recently I’ve started using the light tetras and have been enjoying myself.

[@Flazeke]

Back in Splatoon 2, I used Tetra Dualies just because they had 4 dodge rolls. When I started playing Splatoon 3, I kept using them. Eventually I switched to Splat Dualies, before changing to Enperry Dualies. Now I use Octobrush because I have terrible aim, and brush users don't need to aim much.

[@SoySauce-Games1]

I think it’ll be good if when having the tac effect your tetra slides are faster and your stun time is faster so you can get up faster after using all your slides

[@HenBurgerBurger]

0:39 I use tetras all of the time still, even in comp. It’s true Div 5 is not as competitive as Div 2/1/x so there’s more leeway for more unconventional weapons like tetras that fit well with the team comps. Started a new team, we’re est. Div 10/11 now (two B-Rankers) and it’s just a casual team and we just play what we want with minimal strategy to have a comp that works rather than focusing hardcore on synergy. I have sworn my loyalty to tetras after I first used them in S2, and I will forever be a tetra main.

[@alexgrunde6682]

Right now dark tetras have become a zones cheese weapon: pick off/irritate people on the perimeter, build up special, reefslide the zone. The other modes, I’ve been sticking mostly with the two glooga kits, trying out the dousers but not sure about them yet.

[@Chase247]

Yeah but idk why you'd use tetra for zones cheese over other weapons like dread wringer

[@alexgrunde6682]

@@Chase247 Don’t really like the feel of sloshers. I know on paper there’s better options but tetras just click for me in a way those weapons don’t.

[@MacZephyrZ]

I still main Dark Tetras as a solo que warrior! I don't care if they actually are good, they *feel* good to me and I can see myself achieving similar results with any other weapons. I play them just like dapples pretty much except I use their (slightly) longer range and cheap bombs to poke a lot more instead of always just rushing in. And honestly I don't mind reefslider. It feels good to have a kind of braindead special on an otherwise complicated weapon and the fact that its so bad just makes it funnier when I get a kill or swing a game with it.

[@mrmr.mr.]

It’s unlikely but I wish tacticooler give dualies an specific movement buff like additional dodge rolls, substrafe like shooters, or distant rolls. ..

[@chrisray7728]

I haven't been using them at all for a few months, but that's because I've been focusing on 5 staring the splatlings.

[@fireyocean8129]

I feel like cases like this get completely ignored when people claim that Tacticooler has given us "one of the most diverse metas." I'm grateful that Cooler has brought weapons like Range Blaster into the meta, but it's also harmed a lot of weapon niches because of how broken its stats are. Most weapons with insane mobility like the aforementioned Tetras, but also brushes and Wiper, have fallen off because when everyone has insane mobility, no one does. And REALLY slow weapons, especially backlines like E-Liter and Hydra, just get rolled over because of it as well (as well as pencil having cooler). I don't want cooler to be a bad special, but I think it needs harsh nerfs to a few of the stats it gives so that it isn't a requirement in the meta. THEN we could have one of the most diverse metas in the game.

[@ezracook6658]

This series has ALWAYS been about using the weapons you like. People say that the Dapple Dualies have a bad kit in 3, but regardless, they're still fun as heck to play with and I can still get work done with them because of that.

[@IHave_NoIdea95]

I used Light Tetras for like a week. I have found a different home with Splattershot and Luna Blaster (which I LOVE) and fits my playstyle better

[@woolunderwear2522]

i started with 2 and dualies were the star weapon of that game so my impressionable teen self used splat dualies (vanilla and kensa) for years. when splatoon 3 testfire came out i wanted to try out reefslider bc i had a crocodile pool toy when i was a kid and the other option was aerospray. then i just proceeded to use dark tetras til 3 came out LMAO and zipcaster just glued them as my main

[@jpbp2130]

It`s basically the only weapon I use, aside from the occasional Light Tetras. I neither can or enjoy playing with anything else.

[@DarkWizardFoxo]

I have quite literally never used the tetradoulies but that's also mostly cuz I don't use that weapon class more or less in general I tend to prefer to be a support player more than a aggressive player and because I get motion sick when I use the motion controls I can't really effectively use the dually class because I can't turn fast enough to take full advantage of all of my rolls

[@blotrux421]

I mainly play 3 weapons, which is Vshot, DTetras and Viper. And honestly currently i mostly play shot which has the sole reason thag both reefslider and ultrastamp are just not worth it, the value you get is too situational and u usually end up dead. On the other hand i didn't switch to light tetras as i just hate having sprinkler as a subweapon (same with wiper, beacons just are not the sub for it). I still pull them out because i love the mainweapon, but also recently shifted a lot towards the normal splatdualies as the kit is just so good.

[@sunchan4551]

I personally love the Tetra dualies and once I got 5 stars on both light and dark I moved on to grinding the other dualies. I still have the same love for the main weapon though!

[@falsetto6455]

I'm still very much a Tetras main, despite the meta not being very kind to them. No other weapon matches their specific brand of "all or nothing" aggression; breaking ankles with the dodge rolls is still one of my favorite ways to mess with an enemy team. That said, I can't deny how selfish of a weapon they are. You need a team that's relatively self-sufficient while you're out distracting the enemy, which you can't depend on in either teams or solo for the reasons you mentioned in the video. Hopefully some well-placed buffs and nerfs will help nudge them back into the spotlight in the future.

[@BerryCake.]

I still use the Tetra (both dark and light) but i didn't use it as much

[@Jaytwoster]

I ended up dropping Tetras (Specifically Light Tetras because those were my favorite weapon) because It's just WAYYYY too hard to preform well with them compared to Splat Dualies. Its also because its kit isn't really that good right now- Sprinkler just kind of ruins this weapon for me. But I'm gonna come back to them because they again are my favorite weapon.

[@Ashsams]

I never got too heavily into playing Tetras but I did play Wiper, which fills a similar role. I basically never play it anymore because any work I do gets invalidated by all the QR ppl get from Tacticooler. It's why I'm hoping there's a nerf to cooler's special saver AND QR. I don't think the nerf should be major but it just isn't worth running a QR skirmisher right now and that sucks.

[@Strikr_XD]

I kind of stopped using them, but recently ive been trying get them to five star so ive been using them a lot more. But since the kit is not great im finding it hard to do anything useful outside of zones.

I never really used tetras, really wanted to with zip but couldn't get into them. I do use dapples a lot though, and after gloogas paint buff I've used them a good bit too. But, exactly as you said I take them to X rank and I don't see success with them, using a shooter weapon I end up with a score 4-500 points higher so I end up sticking with those unless I want to commit to dropping points dramatically before actually playing some decent games.

I never rlly used tetras that much but the reason I stopped using them is because i discovered splat dualies and I love them.

I tried to get into Tetras, but they didn’t feel right to me. The damage was the main turn off. I fell more towards the VDapples. Really love their rushdown potential. But then again, they’re still are the Dapples. So they aren’t that great either.

The Dark Tetra Dualies are my favorite Dualie (Dapple is second and Enperry is third), and the DTD is my third favorite weapon overall. While I do still play them, I honestly feel like they got nerfed in some way. They feel slower than they used to and their hits used to feel stronger. I still love this weapon. Reefslider is just fun to me. (Can't use the Light Tetras for the life of me.)

I used to main tetras but a season or two after light tetras dropped I stopped playing them out of boredom and the fact that I wasn’t great at them and now I’m basically a blaster main but I still think tetras are the coolest weapon in the game

Dark tetra dualies is my Main Weapon since Splatoon 2 and I will not drop this weapon, even if it's not popular in competitive. I'm also in an german team and they don't front me for using tetras. I also want to winning, but with my Mains and not with another weapon just because it's in the meta

I still use tetras in ranked both solo and with friends however I've noticed that when playing SendouQ matches I play a lot better with the Glooga Decos so I've been playing those recently however I still win more in ranked with the tetras. Maybe if tetras fall off even more somehow to the point where they guarantee you a loss I'll switch to another weapon like Goo Tuber or Nautilus, but that's never gonna happen. I'm dedicated to these tetras and I'll never leave them completely.
