Fun fact, Decavitator has a charge hold parameter in the game's code. If Decav got a charge hold, it would make fighting on different terrain a LOT easier. Think how Nautilus builds a charge from behind cover or under a ledge and then peeks with it to get a kill. Decav could play the exact same way. And peeking ledges with a full charge and a massive hitbox would make it REALLY scary. I think it would be a really fun way to buff it too vs making it have less frame lag.

[@Chase247]

Interesting. That could make for an interesting buff

[@dimerandomguy]

I feel that the difference between the decavitator and the other weapons, is that it relies on it's whole kit. Unlike tetras, the decavitator has two kits that in theory should work.

[@Sploon3-gv8bv]

4:15 the splash wall is used like a mini bubble. For self defense in situations where you need to be protected from faster weapons or things like the rainmaker shield

In my opinion Mint: Frontline Zombie Slayer Charcoal: Midline Support

[@donutwithoutglaze292]

Charcoal inkjet go psssssss

[@BakedCalamari]

This is one of the few weapons that I don't like to play, but I like playing against it

[@TheDreadedAstelle]

I like that it has a far dash slash and not a vertical one. It is not fun being camped but it is fun trying to dodge a decavitator. Even though it’s probably the weakest splatana, in my opinion it has the best design out of any of them

[@shadewful.]

Exactly, I feel so sluggish and vulnerable when I play with it, but when I’m fighting against it, it feels like I playing a game of cat and mouse

[@agentblackbird9435]

I often mess around with the Recycle Brella and it was so funny on Day One of the new season seeing all the Decavs in Open chase the shield instead of me

[@Boomtendo4tw]

It's a splat roller without the vertical flick.

[@user-bl8cd2xd4g]

Which means it's worse

[@osiohanu8166]

@@user-bl8cd2xd4g well the decavitator can still kind of fight at mid range, though

[@iknowwhereyoulive618]

no? decav is dive weapon meant to play around corners, also having decentish midrange chip. it cant shark the same way, because its close range kill time is only 5 frames faster than a DYNAMO, and only if you're frame perfect. if you're playing ninja decav, you're using the shark positions as a point to dive onto people from. meanwhile, splat roller is just instant threat of death. and the kill range is around as large as or maybe smaller than splat roller (would need to pull up stats to confirm, can't rn). splat roller is a sharking and aoe weapon, decav is a diving and midrange chip weapon (with good paint too, which splat roller completely lacks) that can use sharking as a means to get started. they are not that similar.

[@agentblackbird9435]

Imo it’s a Roller-Brush hybrid

[@Vecezedeux]

This Weapon is PERFECT Fixed, you're welcome! :)

[@JangoMango5]

Decavitator gives me happy brain chemicals I’ve rushed down groups of enemies way more with this than any other weapon methinks. To each their own, but personally this is the most fun I’ve had w a splatana Def takes a bit to get the timing down, but once you do you’re golden

[@ekubo954]

This was the most fun weapon ever on launch when everyone was learing it but now I definitely feel like people are catching on and I die way more frequently 😭 Still a fun weapon but I dont think I'll use it if I actually want to win matches lol

[@TM-45.]

The decavitators are slower than stamper (releasing the charge slash isn't instant and feels weird) and with the range they have it feels like a wiper ranged stamper with more damage.

[@justsplat]

It feels so natural to me as a painbrush player

[@PrincessNicEssus]

You’re still the best I’ve seen on this weapon. Others just use chip damage instead of the charged shot. And that’s where you shine. Yes, please more content!

[@carlos41519]

Love the weapon but i hate ninja squid as an ability cause of how cheap it feels. I prefer mint but im gonna 5star charcoal to truly get good at the main weapon

[@agentblackbird9435]

Felt but I’m poop at Splatanas so I’ll actually use NS

[@thehypist2587]

I really want a guide on this weapon, want to know the best gear and no one has made one yet.

[@micahdapelo7020]

Immediately after this video, I went and ran Ninja Mint and holy cow does it feel great. With the 2 hours i can squeeze in for splatoon each day, I've managed to 4 star it pretty quickly. I kid you not, Mint is half of the weapons I've played this month.

[@ambrosepol]

The dash slash can be a good mix up. Though the more I fight it, the easier it is to counter the slash cause it's so slow.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

It def has its weaknesses, but I’m honestly *loving* it Playing the Mint as a Comeback/QR weapon just Works, at least for me. I had to change up how I approached fights with it, vs just Rushing In recklessly like I would with Wiper, but I get pretty comparable results between the two. Ninja Squid helped me make sense of the Charcoal Decavitator for sure, it works Really Well on that one - the splash wall is VERY situational, as opposed to how you might use it on .52 or .96 gal - but it can help! Overall I like the Mint a lot more though

[@jetbluefinjames9952]

Omg I had the EXACT same thought on the Decavitator, being more as a stealthy player, though I still like the inkjet kit. I personally like the Decavitator but not being able to hit under ledges SUCK.

[@TheLastestYo-KaiWatchFan9001]

I, as a guy that found little use in the vertical slashes in the other Splatanas (Probably since I'm not the most trained at them so they feel way too precise), love the big ol' horizontal charge slashes that can wipe out 50%-to-75% of a poorly positioned team in the blink of an eye that the silly toothbrushes provide. Also, I think Charcoal's wall is meant to either cover your back when you're being chased by multiple enemies but are still pursuing another one or assist in an advance against a longer range weapon that'd just shoot you down instantly if you tried to throw out an unprotected charged slash that'd make you a very predictable target. Another thing, Inkjet on Charcoal obviously helps with range but also helps a bit on vertical stages that you'd probably want a vertical slash on. Of course doesn't entirely remove the weaknesses since Inkjet isn't there all the time, but I think Charcoal kit kinda tries to aid the Decavitator in places it isn't strong in and that's pretty neat.

[@BananaMan092]

Decavitator's kits have 2 different playstyles. Mint decav has vanilla roller's playstyle of sharking and getting sneaky kills. Charcoal has the 52 gal playstyle of setting up wall to block players from making a push and using inkjet to push back.

[@CATLOAFMAN]

Finally somebody brought up ninja being good on this weapon!

[@Kingmeeep]

Any weapon that dies as much as the tetra dualies and isn’t the tetra dualies… has a problem💀

[@agentblackbird9435]

Wiper??

[@MisterMeowstic]

Between the two kits I like the charcoal a lot better. You have to play more into your kit and I don't mind doing that. I put some sub power onto my wall to absorb more damage and I noticed a significant difference in how long I can pressure with my team. The only real downside is that it's one of those weapons that needs paint on the ground to function, but doesn't lay its own turf all that well. At first I thought it was a great painter, but because you aren't laying it constantly like a shooter, the paint gets covered up before you can use it sometimes.

[@adamotog.7812]

Funnily enough, this is LITERALLY the exact set of events i went through lol It does sucks to be severely limited by the map, but the Mint will always have a place in my heart :)

@@Chase247 4:15 the wall is used like a mini bubbler. To block shots from faster enemies or assist in a 1v2 the dash also allows escape if the enemies try to attack from the side. Also it’s good against rainmaker bubble

[@AceOfEmber]

The decavitator is definitely a lot of fun but the way I currently play the weapon (tetra’s style) definitely doesn’t feel very effective, I’m excited to give this strategy a try!!!

[@Gio_64]

Charge slash Lunging are situational unless your good at it then its not that situational. So use charge slash(Without lunging) to your advantage often, either be range take 2 hit with reg projectile slash closing in by only one hit. Besides I’m loving this weapon, so it’s going to be my third 5* weapon.(charcoal), also this weapon taught me how to shark properly with ninja squid.(and doesn’t necessarily needs comeback)

[@celestialspark5697]

Interesting that you like mint more. My experience was that Big Bubbler is much too slow to deploy after a slash to ever protect you from anything, and if you're not right on top of someone with it, the bubble doesn't even let you move forward. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage without how helpless the weapon is to move anywhere safely when it's in a bubble against a weapon that outranges it or can space safely. The splash wall kit feels much better to me because you can throw the wall while moving, and it means you're not constantly at a disadvantage against weapons that outrange you.

[@beanamv]

Mint is so fun. It's definitely not a brainless weapon though. You actually gotta strategize. *cries in aerospray player* Getting kills with it feels nice. I don't care for charcoal as much, mainly because the kit doesn't fit my playstyle. I prefer the passive/support-oriented Mint kit. This weapon is so punishable though 😅

[@BobForeverIsAwesome]

I like that you can throw your sub weapon after your lunge attack I like that with the Mint because after the lunge attack I can throw a Suction Bomb this weapon great with that than Wiper and Stamper.

[@Kahmie]

It ridiculous paint plus charcoal kit works great in zones when you play it like a painting support. I play it with a lot of special power.

[@Lithaaaa--]

I'll take the mint! I love supportive and sneaky weapons with range hehe >:)

[@Whodjathink]

I've been playing this weapon like a Range Blaster with better ink efficiency and it's given me pretty good results. I play very aggro support and this weapon helps with that playstyle especially the Mint variant

[@Makithe2nd]

[@jabronick]

I love the charcoal for inkjet but i think i almost exclusively use the wall to help out my teammates because im busy sharking and im not really gonna need it 😅

[@Boomtendo4tw]

It's like painbrush. Slow wind up. Sorta long distance and some power with a wide hit box.

[@TCEvie]

You and I seem to have had exact opposite experiences with this weapon. Fun seeing other perspectives

[@joeydraper5934]

This is also true for rebrella for me!! I have 5 starred v rebrella and the best strat is to run ninja squid so that you can shark better as your shield breaks so easy

[@roccotherayquaza2468]

I kinda wish this weapon had the vertical slash if you jump like with the stringers do. But that would make this stringers not as special.

[@Mau-P]

ngl the decavitator isn't too bad for me, I actually really like it! I haven't played with the charcoal one, but I did play with the mint one, and I can't stop playing it now!! It's to the point I'm starting to main it!

[@Qtranger]

When this weapon came out, I hated it. I started experimenting with gear, and I found my gear. 2 mains of swim speed and 3 subs of super jump and qr. you play this weapon like a wiper. You are so fast and no one expects it. Average 20 kills a game. X rank btw

[@RADish-official]

I’ve played all 3 swords, and even though this one plays/feels the worst imo, it’s still a very funni weapon, especially in open

[@Tachyon322]

[@crashur3600]

I have little doubt that the Charcoal is the better kit, but I could tell immediately that Suction Bomb, Big Bubbler would be the fun kit.

[@amar2278]

I understand now why i struggle with this weapon, i didn't play it with Ninja Squid, but i test it with this abilitie but i really don't like the playstyle. So i guess the weapon isn't just for me

[@alexgrunde6682]

If it’s ninja squid dependent, that doesn’t speak well to how it would do in comp given the current tacticooler meta, Personally, I played the things for like 10 minutes and immediately realized they were not for me.

[@GiSWiG]

On the night of release, it was too slow for me. I tested it out mostly during turf war. Of course everyone was testing this and the Wellstring Vs out. No one was quite used to them yet so I switched to splat dualies and dominated. The Charcoal Decavitator has grown on me. One of my first shirts I built while main'ing the wiper had Ninja as main and three swim subs. It really grew out of fashion but maybe bringing it back for this weapon will work great? Curious, anyone thing the Wellstrings are a little OP?

[@agentblackbird9435]

Wellstring imo is a good main because its a dual mode weapon (partial charge is like Reeflux and full charge is like Tri Stringer) but the kits hold it back

[@Pearl_Blossom]

I knew this thing would be slow but I'm still baffled by just how slow For it to be the slowest sword AND have the least range is quite the trade off for its big hitbox and long dash I certainly hope the initial rage at the big hitbox from casuals doesn't result in a S2 Dynamo/RB situation
