What I really like about the explo kits is how the first kit amplifies the strength of the main weapon by providing location and chip damage while the second kit midigates the main weapon's weaknesses by giving it tools against it's bad match ups.

Just wish either kit got an aggro sub like Burst or Torp to let it speed up it's killtime slightly, sure storm and splashdown do that somewhat, but even as the most passive max charge up Explo you won't be getting your special for every single fight you'll be in.

I play casually but a good cexplo can be so ridiculous to fight. It hounds you from far away and when you finally get close enough to shoot at it, they always have a splashdown It may not be meta defining, but it’s def a strong kit

I feel that the reason Cexplo works is because unlike other similar "dangerous at range, weak up close" weapons, Explosher doesn't need to charge up and can afford to be more mobile, it's not disrupted as hard by Killer Wail or Tenta Missiles, if we had an E-litre, Tri-Stringer or Hydra Splatling with Triple Splashdown, sure you could still use it when someone gets too close but odds are you'd be an a position that your opponents can't really get to in the first place, or at least not easily, meanwhile Explo can move in more aggressively and Cexplo had Triple Splashdown as a emergency option if you push a little too far

I've said it a million times I'll say it a million more: a backline weapon does not need to have a special and sub that allows it to be even more backline-y to be good. Giving them good defense to ward off flankers is a perfectly fine way to implement them.

Responding only to the thumbnail lol. I'll admit I was a hater of custom explo on launch. A few things I feel about it. Triple splashdown is pretty good actually. Especially after the buff. Triple splashdown was still new at the time, so that wasn't entirely clear. At the very least, its better than Ink Storm. Apparently people like Wall on it though? I guess its a top level play thing, cause I still can't stand wall on this kit. I just don't use my sub if I'm using custom explo. But hey if others like it that's cool. Maybe this is obvious to say, but the kit is still primarily just the main weapon. Some of these clips could have been pulled off with the vanilla explo. I don't feel the synergy is actually there. The kit just rewires the brain into being more brave with the main weapon. But I guess if it works it works.

Splashdown on Explo, at first, seemed terrible. It was just a panic button, maybe a cheap finisher if you played Aggro Explo (like me), but after having it I've nearly gotten it to 4 stars (I play so many weapons at once that that's a big achievement), and I can confidently say Splashdown isn't the worst part of the kit! Splash Wall is though, because it taunts me by making me think I can fight other backlines or hold my own against shooters only to remember I now have precisely 3 shots to kill someone before I die horribly of ink deficiency. Why Nintendo, why couldn't it have been Burst bomb, or Angle Shooter, or literally anything that paints my feet so I don't die when I run in and splashdown like an idiot...
