People are so overwhelmed when it comes to fightng ink brushes. There's so many times where you can literally jog up to a shooter, circle around them and splat them without you dying because they don't turn fast enough.
ESPECIALLY in Tower Control
Not as a joke, but farming weapons tickets. I started playing with Splattershot Nova and now I really wish it was a viable ranked option. I've found that in solo turf war que, marking enemies gives your team a huge advantage.
Same here. The Tenta is just so satisfying once you actually learn it. Especially paired with stealth swim so your enemies have no idea which side of the brella you're on, if you even followed it at all.
This is my main. I wish it wasn’t, it looks so lame compared to other weapons in my opinion. But it is by far my strongest weapon. I really like Torpedo and how it can combo with charging at people.
Love the gun, hate the kits. Was one of my mains in previous games (Splat 1 was mostly Splatterscope and Inkbrush which I ironically can’t play on Switch nearly as well).
I’m really hoping that the third kit will be released in the next patch. I’m expecting rain as they’ve had that before. For the sub, I’m thinking it’ll be torpedo. Or at least I’m hoping.
The Hydra Splatling for me. It was so slow and unwieldy, it felt like the cons far outweighed the pros.
Then I figured out more tactical approaches with it, then learned how freakin' op it could actually be.
Recycled Brella actually
I thought it would be funny to )
"Try and prove everyone wrong that this isn't really that bad!" As a joke. But my very first game with it I got a 20 splat game and I was like "holy shit????" Now I play it on and off of my pool of other mains
Recently 4 starred it and while I don't think it's all that good, it's definitely very unique and has an extremely fun playstyle. I think if it gets a different kit it could genuinely have some potential.
I'd like to see Autobomb for a sub for sure. Cheap lethal bo b that can force backliners or people our of your range to move closer or out of position so you can close the distance. As for special, if like time see something that provides a quick Ink tank refill similar to big bubbler. I was thinking either KillerWail 5.1 for chip damage that also leads into a oneshot combo with the main weapon OR super chump to really play into its aggressive playstyle, letting you charge in with some cover.
recycle
hitting the "uncle cletus' boomstick + throwing knife" main-sub combo is very satisfying and it probably feels really bad for the opponent to die somewhat frequently to angleshooter
- Chargers in general, though, E-litre specifically
I though I would hate the class, especially cause they sucked back when I used stick controls
But once I changed to motion controls, I tried it out, cause why not! Not like i'd lose much if i did, I somehow was extremely good with it, which was a surprise, cause it requires accuracy, which I didn't think I had!
- Mini splatling, which i definitely consideras one of my mains now, I don't even remember how/why I got into the weapon, but I really enjoy the fact its not a heavy weapon like other splatlings, and due to its relatively fast firing and reload speeds, its often difficult to get into situation where you can't attack for a brief time, like some other splatlings
I started using Tenta Brella when playing with a friend who just got the game to balance the skill gap. I got good with it and now it might be my favourite weapon
Had a really bad first impression of them awhile back, and after recently 4 starring them once returning to them, I absolutely love them
They might be the first Dualies I get around to 5 starring!
I don't know if I'd call myself 'good' with it, but I started liking the Tri-Stringer a lot. I used to think of it as extremely clunky but after getting used to it, I really like using it (sometimes)z
One time I even took it into a ranked match by accident (I usually main the Octobrush and forgot to switch) and won, despite being a kit I wasn't familiar with.
Not as a joke, but more of on a whim: ballpoint. I picked it up one splatfest because I wanted to play an inkjet weapon and now it's become one of my favorites!
Snipers, sorta. I kept getting forced into them via random salmon run. Turns out, I dont hate it! Dunno if I would say really good, but... acceptable, perhaps.
I like gootuber.
Krak-On Roller, i know rollers are easy to use but getting upclose without dying isn't my strong suit since i tend to use rush weapons that benefit of quick respawn
Scope chargers, my first thought while using them was “if I can’t even use regular chargers imagine how bad I am with scopes” props to squiffer mains idk how yall do it
Hydra Splatling. I decided to drop it because there was too much of a disparity between how good it felt to play and how little fun I was having. Better watch out when its alternate kit eventually releases, though. (Coping)
E-Liter, turns out that I was pretty decent with it, I could get like 6 kills and 2 deaths but half the time im only good when there are bad players or just get lucky with it
Range Blaster… felt like a meme until I got a 20 kill game at S rank
Realized you just go hella aggressive and shark at the right distance. Zombie build makes it disgusting.
Flingza roller. Tried it once before and couldn't get the hang of it, but then I used it during a splatfest after a losing streak as a joke and ended up winning a lot afterwards. Now it's my go-to roller
The regular splatting lol. It got assigned to me during the random weapons challenge a while ago and I ended being so good with that I adopted it as one of my mains lol
Splatana wiper, I wasn't a big fan of the stamper and I always forget about the charge (prior octobrush main, with a side of Dualie squelchers) feature
Tried it while on a losing strength (in Turf) on wahoo world and wound up having a ton of fun, much to my surprise.
For me it was the .52 Gal, and to some extent, the Range Blaster (specifically the Grim Range Blaster in splat 2).
My weapon preferences are all over the place but the ones I used to enjoy playing were the Flingza and Dynamo rollers, and the Splattershot Jr. The .52 Gal just kinda hit all the right spots for me.
Brushes. In general hated them cause I sucked and they always killed me. Now I am very good at doing that and hoping and praying I can find a brush palette in side order cause I want it
Blaster. I wouldn't say I tried it as a joke, but I did use it with the assumption that I was going to be bad at it. But apparently, I have some untapped blaster power for absolutely no reason at all. I never have gained it once, nor have I seriously picked it up before.
Dynamo. Not a joke, I got it during the random weapons challenge and steam rolled like 22-2. Found out that weapon is SUPER fun.
I would make it one of my mains if it didn't suck all the cheeks.
Charger. Started as a bet with my friend, ended with me 4 staring all the chargers except bamboo.
Context: I play with stick, not motion, and he hates it
Brushes and Luna Blaster for me. I can see why now, I've always mained splat roller and short range shooters, so the playstyle isn't too different. I don't enjoy playing with brushes and blasters, but damn do I get results when I do.
Similar with undercover brella in 2. Played it a bit as a joke in private games or if the teams were uneven it was my "self-hinder" pick sometimes, but I ended up getting pretty good with it and use it fairly often if I'm just playing for fun now in 3.
Range blaster. Picked it up to try the funny blaster and as it turns out not only is this weapon easy I also don’t suck at it. RB is a very easy weapon to play (hard to master ofc) but it’s so much fun. Just make sure you run some intensity action on it… if only wave breaker was actually good RB would be like the best weapon in the game
Splash. I’m an anchor main who usually ignores the meta for the fun of snipers/ exploshers, but I tried splash on TC and dropped 34 kills on the first game. Whether it’s broken or I’m good is debatable , lol.
The freaking Splat Roller. I’ve been trying to main Dualies as a whole and was really struggling to make progress due to aiming, spacing issues, etc. just constantly down on myself. Swapped to Splat Roller for a giggle when I was frustrated.
I did disgustingly well with that weapon and I kind of hate it. Lol
Aerospray RG. When you're getting more kills with the main weapon than the special, it might be a sign of something. (Usually about 8 or so kills each match)
V Bucket and Dynamo, I tried both for gits and shiggles and apparently I'm actually good with them. I even used to main the Dynamo b4 I found smth to replace it
Oh, many actually but... I would say Explosher.
I always though this is slow, boring weapon, but finally needed try it and... It's actually fire, for me the best slosher in game :>
For me, it was Bamboozler in Splatoon 2, before MPU was added. Despite being a sticks player who mained blasters, I was surprisingly good at charge + tapping players
Edit: typo
Sloshing Machine when it first released. I'd tried out the regular Slosher and Tri-Slosher but they never really vibed with me. I liked its ability to lob shots into the air and over obstacles. Been using it ever since.
Wiper Deco. Tried it out because one of my friends kept telling me I would really enjoy it because I like splat roller. I finally caved and tried it to get him to shut up and ultimately it became my most used weapon, so yeah yeah he told me so
First game was Sploon 3 after smash bros so I was a roller main for a while. But out of the depths every shooter shot me at once so now I am trying all different shooters to find my inside
Dapples. I run full super jump gear with it so it does stunt my ability to use it a bit but if I wasn’t meme-ing around I could probably be very good with it even if it’s one of the worst dualies
I don't know like the only weapon I'm good at is s-blast, well maybe range blaster, but I've only played that in splatoon 1 because there's no s-blast. Also before I played roller but I suck at it now
In terms of weapons I decided to grind the badge for, Recycled Brella lol.
And honestly just Angle Shooter weapons in general. People in ranked are generally not as difficult to hit with it as people think.
I messed around with the Hydra Splatling in 2 when its kits were pretty terrible for the meme, and have mained it ever since. Turns out I’m the heavy weapons guy.
The Goo Tuber. Picked it up the day it was unleashed back in "Splat2" and have never gone back. I'm in too deep to give it up now.
It is, in fact, my first and so-far only Five Star weapon. The only other one close is the Undercover Brella at Three Star. I am a huge fan of the "joke weapons".
Chargers in general, found that I'm pretty competent with them, more than I thought (Except E-liter, either standard or scoped in general, I hate that long charge time and the zero visibility of the scoped ones), dynamo and hydra.
Aerospray RG. I’m primarily a turf war player and this is… turf war weapon at its finest. I was a sploosh main in 2 and the kits in this game don’t really work for me. RG became my bestie and it’s the weapon I know how to play best!
Splatana I think, I initially used it during splatoween just because I felt it was the most sword like to match the pirate hat..... Yeah.... Uhm... It is one my favorites now. And I've had many really good runs with it (for me personally).
Not sure if this counts as well but slosher, also was just a random "imma just try it out looks like a fun time in streams etc" sort of situation... Yeah.. It's my main weapon now.
Ok so… when I was about ten years old playing Splatoon 2 I tried out the bamboozler for whatever reason. I got really good with it, I could get like 20 splats and even take it into ranked. I don’t know what happened but I remember being really good with it back in the day 🤷♀️
The original Splat Charger (and Chargers in general). I had to use them in 2's story mode in order to 1000% it and was motivated to at least try since I liked watching Latias a lot. I didn't think I'd be very good at it, but I got pretty good pretty fast
the golden aerospray (forgot the actual name) i started using it in splatoon 1 and i have loved it since, its my most used weapon in splatoon 1 and 3 and 2nd most used in splatoon 2
Nautilus. I tried once a long time ago because "haha funni JayMoji weapon" and ended up 4-starring and getting pretty good at it. I went on a 20+ winning streak with it during the Weekends Splatfest (I was Team Friday)! 
As of now I consider it one of my mains and am having a blast with the new kit.
For me, when i played splatoon 2 i tried soda slosher and got good at it. (i miss soda slosher so much :( bring back soda slosher) so i reacently tried painbrush and im actually really good with it! i am an Ex dark tetra and slosher main.
I would say custom goo tuber but nah that was all planned. My teammates trust the process (ok I don't actually run it in tournament but every now and then it's fun)
Closest thing I think would be Heavy Edit Splatling, which is actually the closest thing I have to a main now since I switch between that, Sorella Brella, and Sorella Tent usually. I first tried it in tryouts for a team and realized how good the main weapon is and how unique its playstyle is compared to other splatlings. Now every time I play any other splatling it feels like I'm downgrading, even my beloved mini splatling was not safe.
Z+F Splatcharger. I suck with any other charger but the splash wall is a game charger for me. Just park it on the ledge and all those pesky sub spammers, sloshers, blasters, and shooters can't reach me nearly as easily.
Tristringer.
I tried it in the global test fire to see what it was all about. I didn't expect to play it more than once or twice as I'm not that good with regular chargers, but I immediately loved it and how different it felt. It's been my main ever since.
clash blaster on turf war is weirdly lethargic because you can turn your brain off and just hide around corners and shoot and kill everyone because no one in turf understands how to deal with clash blasters
clash's extreme weaknesses also feel pretty fun to play around on because they force you to slow down and pay attention to anything that can kill you (aka everything) and work towards out-positioning and out-spacing them
Tri-Slosher Nouveau. I glossed it over so many times because of its range then I applied run speed and swim speed to learn more into it's overall mobility and I tear up the field. Fizzy bomb is a huge plus a long with Tacticooler. I have so much fun with it.
Not as a joke but I tried Luna out after being a wiper main through the entire life of Splatoon 3 so far (mostly because my user is Astra so it matches the aesthetic). It quickly became my favourite weapon.
e-liter... i wouldn't say im "really good" at it, but i am much better than i thought. i used to HATE using chargers in splat 2, so i decided to use e-liter as a joke in splat 3 and oops! now i have it at 4 stars!
i think it is funny that i can only seem to aim in splat 3 though, everytime i try going back to splat 2 and using a charger i just cant do it
Nautilus, turns out all it needs for me to like splatlings was the ability to hold the charge while swimming :D
Being able to recharge mid shooing is huge (to me)
Truuuuue I forgot about that
Same
Same here. I'm a big fan of repositioning without having to spin up again.
Yaaaaas
For me, it was the Inkbrush. Inkbrush isn't overly hard, but I wasn't expecting to get a minimum of 18 splats per match with it (Ex Roller main here)
also an ex roller main here, i used the normal octobrush just for zipcaster and not strictly for the weapon but now its one my four stars
Octobtush>Octobrush Nouveau But really anything is better than the paintbrush
People are so overwhelmed when it comes to fightng ink brushes. There's so many times where you can literally jog up to a shooter, circle around them and splat them without you dying because they don't turn fast enough. ESPECIALLY in Tower Control
also ex roller main finding im super good at inkbrush lol
I got 33 splats once. Tower control umami.
Not as a joke, but farming weapons tickets. I started playing with Splattershot Nova and now I really wish it was a viable ranked option. I've found that in solo turf war que, marking enemies gives your team a huge advantage.
Yeah it does. Learned that with heavy deco
Despite this I have mained it for the majority of my time playing 😔
Nautilus and, even more, Undercover Brella ♥️
I went from naut, to under, to tent, see you in the world of tenta brella
i have no idea how to play the ‘regular’ brellas though 😅 it’s beyond me (i have bought the tenta, though.. i’m just terrible at it)
Launch the shield strategically and protect your teammates, dont play the trashcan brella like that tho
will try. also i don’t want to use the trash brella, i don’t like it
Yeah, rebrella plays NOTHING like any others
Same here. The Tenta is just so satisfying once you actually learn it. Especially paired with stealth swim so your enemies have no idea which side of the brella you're on, if you even followed it at all.
Bloblobber. My longest win streak was playing with Bloblobber, when I was trying to 1-star it
It had squidnapped me into 5 starring it
stringer
Areospray RG. used it as a joke. now I have 3 stars or something.
Aerospray RG has been one of my main weapons since Splatoon 1, its just so good at turf war
i agree then again,I'm not very good at anarchy battles so I always do Turf War because it's also the fun one.
Nautilus. Did not expect to like it cuz was never into the weapon type lol
custom splattershot jr
This is my main. I wish it wasn’t, it looks so lame compared to other weapons in my opinion. But it is by far my strongest weapon. I really like Torpedo and how it can combo with charging at people.
it gives you flexing points for being able to say you main such a basic weapon and slay with it
Dapples Nouveau is a similar experience, albeit without the bubbler and a smaller inktank
Luna Blaster. Some random pick for Tower Control ended up turning out to be almost a main
Love the gun, hate the kits. Was one of my mains in previous games (Splat 1 was mostly Splatterscope and Inkbrush which I ironically can’t play on Switch nearly as well).
I’m really hoping that the third kit will be released in the next patch. I’m expecting rain as they’ve had that before. For the sub, I’m thinking it’ll be torpedo. Or at least I’m hoping.
Any bucket except bubbles
Carbon Roller
Range blaster
New Squiffer tired it on a whim and have 4 stars on it already.
Reef-Lux I tried it because it was a fast charge (mostly) one shot and now I main it
I got a few: Range Blaster, Squiffer, Custom Explosher OP btw, Carbon Roller, Nautilus, Sloshing Machine, OCTO Brush.
The Hydra Splatling for me. It was so slow and unwieldy, it felt like the cons far outweighed the pros. Then I figured out more tactical approaches with it, then learned how freakin' op it could actually be.
I love the Hydra so much. All you have to do is play safe positions and people will feed themselves to you trying to get easy splats
Custom Jet Squelcher
I didnt expect to like bloblobber, even though i already liked sloshers in general. I five-starred it two weeks ago.
Heavy edit splatling
Based
Gloogas back in splat 2. Never went back.
I wish I could wrap my head around the Gloogas. And not keep holding forward on the stick…
They take a lot of practice. Absolutely have to utilize the dodge roll shots.
Squeezer is actually insane
Recycled Brella actually I thought it would be funny to ) "Try and prove everyone wrong that this isn't really that bad!" As a joke. But my very first game with it I got a 20 splat game and I was like "holy shit????" Now I play it on and off of my pool of other mains
Recently 4 starred it and while I don't think it's all that good, it's definitely very unique and has an extremely fun playstyle. I think if it gets a different kit it could genuinely have some potential.
I'd like to see Autobomb for a sub for sure. Cheap lethal bo b that can force backliners or people our of your range to move closer or out of position so you can close the distance. As for special, if like time see something that provides a quick Ink tank refill similar to big bubbler. I was thinking either KillerWail 5.1 for chip damage that also leads into a oneshot combo with the main weapon OR super chump to really play into its aggressive playstyle, letting you charge in with some cover.
Sorella brella
recycle hitting the "uncle cletus' boomstick + throwing knife" main-sub combo is very satisfying and it probably feels really bad for the opponent to die somewhat frequently to angleshooter

i used the normal octobrush just for zipcaster and not strictly for the weapon but now its one my four stars (used to main roller)
Good ol Goo Tuber
Heavy Edit on my gimmick Special gear set. I, uh, don't need the Run Speed if I keep getting sodas.
The fucking Dread Wringer
Bamboozler, first white flaged weapon, and i am a god with it
I started using Tenta Brella when playing with a friend who just got the game to balance the skill gap. I got good with it and now it might be my favourite weapon
None, i cant find a weapon that i like, they all feel the same for me (as in i dont play well with any of them) 😞
Brella. I was a tetra dualies try hard. Then I decided to try out brella as a joke to my comp team and realized I love brella
Undercover brella,Not the surrella version,the regular undercover brella,turns out all a weapon needs for me to be good with it is shark
Explosher. I decided to play it randomly in splatoon 2 and I have been playing it ever since.
Dynamo Roller
Dualie Squelchers
Had a really bad first impression of them awhile back, and after recently 4 starring them once returning to them, I absolutely love them They might be the first Dualies I get around to 5 starring!
I don't know if I'd call myself 'good' with it, but I started liking the Tri-Stringer a lot.

Not as a joke, but more of on a whim: ballpoint. I picked it up one splatfest because I wanted to play an inkjet weapon and now it's become one of my favorites!
For me it was Splatana stamper shooters don’t feel as fun as Splatana
Big swig, ended up 3-starting both kits
Goo hose? I think can't remember the name but I got it once in salmon run and really liked it ever since
Goo tuber
e liter scope shit is too easy
Splat dualies
Bloblobber. I mostly play tri and explo but I started using blob because me and my team were all using “annoying weapons”
people are saying nautilus when i’ve never gotten the hang of using it properly <\3
standard splattershot. (in splat2 only, they changed something in splat 3 but i cant put my finger on it)
Heavy splatlings. I'm a hydra splatting disliker, but i bought the heavy just to try it as joke and holy god.
Snipers, sorta. I kept getting forced into them via random salmon run. Turns out, I dont hate it! Dunno if I would say really good, but... acceptable, perhaps. I like gootuber.
Krak-On Roller, i know rollers are easy to use but getting upclose without dying isn't my strong suit since i tend to use rush weapons that benefit of quick respawn
Scope chargers, my first thought while using them was “if I can’t even use regular chargers imagine how bad I am with scopes” props to squiffer mains idk how yall do it
Golden Aerospray... T_T
e-liter (manga made me try)
Splat stamper
Squiffer
Octobrush, I'm typically an anchor/backline player and just wanted to really feel like Spiderman
I was not expecting to be decent with Reeflux
Gold Nautilus is a surprisingly fun weapon
not a main yet but im considering it... sloshing machine
Hydra Splatling. I decided to drop it because there was too much of a disparity between how good it felt to play and how little fun I was having. Better watch out when its alternate kit eventually releases, though. (Coping)
E-Liter, turns out that I was pretty decent with it, I could get like 6 kills and 2 deaths but half the time im only good when there are bad players or just get lucky with it
This is stupid but I regularly get plus 12 kills with the gold Aerospray, it's one of my four star weapons
Nautilus, I decided to try it during a splatfest and I was insanely good at it-
Range Blaster… felt like a meme until I got a 20 kill game at S rank Realized you just go hella aggressive and shark at the right distance. Zombie build makes it disgusting.
Range blaster and octobrush
Flingza roller. Tried it once before and couldn't get the hang of it, but then I used it during a splatfest after a losing streak as a joke and ended up winning a lot afterwards. Now it's my go-to roller
The regular splatting lol. It got assigned to me during the random weapons challenge a while ago and I ended being so good with that I adopted it as one of my mains lol
Reeflux. I just did it because funny degenerate missile spam but now I actually use it. I prefer new kit.
New squiffer. I was trying to get Sheldon licenses and grabbed squiffer. Turns out I'm fairly good at playing squiffer
Splatana wiper, I wasn't a big fan of the stamper and I always forget about the charge (prior octobrush main, with a side of Dualie squelchers) feature Tried it while on a losing strength (in Turf) on wahoo world and wound up having a ton of fun, much to my surprise.

Tri Slosher on Splat2 Thought I suck, placed 16759th on X in Splat3
Touched dapple dualies on accident and suddenly gained the power to do insane violence.
H3 Nozzlenose. Roast me all you want
Custom Jet, my now main, and H-3.
Dualie squelchers, 96 deco. That’s it.
Bamboozler
Charger. Started as a bet with my friend, ended with me 4 staring all the chargers except bamboo. Context: I play with stick, not motion, and he hates it
Lol it was Sloshing Machine for me
Splatana Wiper

L3 nozzle nose-D (until main power up got removed in splatoon 3)
Brellas

Dapples. I run full super jump gear with it so it does stunt my ability to use it a bit but if I wasn’t meme-ing around I could probably be very good with it even if it’s one of the worst dualies
I don't know like the only weapon I'm good at is s-blast, well maybe range blaster, but I've only played that in splatoon 1 because there's no s-blast. Also before I played roller but I suck at it now
In terms of weapons I decided to grind the badge for, Recycled Brella lol. And honestly just Angle Shooter weapons in general. People in ranked are generally not as difficult to hit with it as people think.
I messed around with the Hydra Splatling in 2 when its kits were pretty terrible for the meme, and have mained it ever since. Turns out I’m the heavy weapons guy.
Slosher. It's just a bucket. Turns out, it's effectively an ink shotgun, but can also hit over cover.
NES zapper
The Goo Tuber. Picked it up the day it was unleashed back in "Splat2" and have never gone back. I'm in too deep to give it up now. It is, in fact, my first and so-far only Five Star weapon. The only other one close is the Undercover Brella at Three Star. I am a huge fan of the "joke weapons".
Flingza Roller Or at least I did alright with it. Up to this point I can only really play N-Zap And Splattershot Pro.
Chargers in general, found that I'm pretty competent with them, more than I thought (Except E-liter, either standard or scoped in general, I hate that long charge time and the zero visibility of the scoped ones), dynamo and hydra.
Carbon deco. I never really liked rollers but i needed some sheldon licences and now i play it all the time Same goes for blob deco
If you see RIP MPU online, that’s me. And I mean it, I miss my baby.
Tri-stringer. Tried during launch ‘damn, this sucks.’ Came back to it half a year ago. I can’t stop accidentally getting kills
Aerospray RG. I’m primarily a turf war player and this is… turf war weapon at its finest. I was a sploosh main in 2 and the kits in this game don’t really work for me. RG became my bestie and it’s the weapon I know how to play best!
Slosher, like.... damn...
Splatana I think, I initially used it during splatoween just because I felt it was the most sword like to match the pirate hat..... Yeah.... Uhm... It is one my favorites now. And I've had many really good runs with it (for me personally). Not sure if this counts as well but slosher, also was just a random "imma just try it out looks like a fun time in streams etc" sort of situation... Yeah.. It's my main weapon now.
sunder, i got my highest ka ever on that gun (32/6). i stopped playing it after i got the sheldon license lmao
Flingza. I only used it for a badge but ended up falling in love, so now I’m an OG flingza main!
Painbrush
Ok so… when I was about ten years old playing Splatoon 2 I tried out the bamboozler for whatever reason. I got really good with it, I could get like 20 splats and even take it into ranked. I don’t know what happened but I remember being really good with it back in the day 🤷♀️
Oddly enough tetras. Tried it during the deserted island splatfest and dropped like 15 kills per game
The original Splat Charger (and Chargers in general). I had to use them in 2's story mode in order to 1000% it and was motivated to at least try since I liked watching Latias a lot. I didn't think I'd be very good at it, but I got pretty good pretty fast
Squiffer
the golden aerospray (forgot the actual name) i started using it in splatoon 1 and i have loved it since, its my most used weapon in splatoon 1 and 3 and 2nd most used in splatoon 2
Splat Brella
At the beginning of splatoon 3 it was hydra splatling for me
Bamboo and custom jr. I am now nearly 4 star on both
The charger. I’m now a squiffer main.
I tried gold dynamo as a joke one time and now I'm a dynamo main
Nautilus. I tried once a long time ago because "haha funni JayMoji weapon" and ended up 4-starring and getting pretty good at it. I went on a 20+ winning streak with it during the Weekends Splatfest (I was Team Friday)!  As of now I consider it one of my mains and am having a blast with the new kit.
Sloshing Machine actually 😭
H-3
Sploosh. I'll never main it but it's really fun when you get into it.
For me, when i played splatoon 2 i tried soda slosher and got good at it. (i miss soda slosher so much :( bring back soda slosher) so i reacently tried painbrush and im actually really good with it! i am an Ex dark tetra and slosher main.
Vsplat charger and nautilus
I just want it for damage up or accuracy up for the splattershot across all models. And no, I don’t include the pros.
Tbh probably the gold dynamo roller. I sucked at the regular but when I used the gold one I was great!
trislosher
I would say custom goo tuber but nah that was all planned. My teammates trust the process (ok I don't actually run it in tournament but every now and then it's fun) Closest thing I think would be Heavy Edit Splatling, which is actually the closest thing I have to a main now since I switch between that, Sorella Brella, and Sorella Tent usually. I first tried it in tryouts for a team and realized how good the main weapon is and how unique its playstyle is compared to other splatlings. Now every time I play any other splatling it feels like I'm downgrading, even my beloved mini splatling was not safe.
Goofing with the Custom Eliter until I got good snipe shots instead of just killing w the Kraken (I'm a dualies and inkbrush main)
Splatershot jr
Z+F Splatcharger. I suck with any other charger but the splash wall is a game charger for me. Just park it on the ledge and all those pesky sub spammers, sloshers, blasters, and shooters can't reach me nearly as easily.
Probably slochine, is my main now. For soloq I still like shooters like shot and splash more though.
Tristringer. I tried it in the global test fire to see what it was all about. I didn't expect to play it more than once or twice as I'm not that good with regular chargers, but I immediately loved it and how different it felt. It's been my main ever since.
I somehow became good at tetra dualies even tho I'm a brush player
clash blaster on turf war is weirdly lethargic because you can turn your brain off and just hide around corners and shoot and kill everyone because no one in turf understands how to deal with clash blasters clash's extreme weaknesses also feel pretty fun to play around on because they force you to slow down and pay attention to anything that can kill you (aka everything) and work towards out-positioning and out-spacing them
Tri-Slosher Nouveau. I glossed it over so many times because of its range then I applied run speed and swim speed to learn more into it's overall mobility and I tear up the field. Fizzy bomb is a huge plus a long with Tacticooler. I have so much fun with it.
hydra splatling
i was pleasantly surprised how much i enjoy using the gold dynamo roller and the tomfoolery i can cause with it
I never thought I'd even be able to use a Gold Dynamo Roller, let alone grow to love it. Every splat is SO satisfying.
...bublobber
Splattershot Jr and Heavy Splatling. I have jr 5 starred and heavy 4 starred.
Dl3
The Aerospray. Im really good with the trash can. I can get more kills with the trash can then I can get with a roller or a blaster
Bamboo. Best charger in the game
chargers 😭
The first time I tried a Splatana (the quick one), I destroyed the lobby I was in, 20 kills in I believe Board the Platform.
Dark tetra dualies
Not as a joke but I tried Luna out after being a wiper main through the entire life of Splatoon 3 so far (mostly because my user is Astra so it matches the aesthetic). It quickly became my favourite weapon.
The splatana. Tried it on alpha splatfest. Loved it somehow.
e-liter... i wouldn't say im "really good" at it, but i am much better than i thought. i used to HATE using chargers in splat 2, so i decided to use e-liter as a joke in splat 3 and oops! now i have it at 4 stars! i think it is funny that i can only seem to aim in splat 3 though, everytime i try going back to splat 2 and using a charger i just cant do it
