I’ve been delighted with dread wringer (though I would love to have a functioning special, pls for the love of god Nintendo). And I play a lot of comp and have really enjoyed that its more flexible for a variety of modes than my other main front line weapon, range blaster, which is only particularly strong on tower control.

I’m really proud, in the first few days of the season I got dread wringer to 607th x rank placement on the leaderboards for tower control, which is higher than I’ve ever been, I was super proud 🥺.

I think I’m also grateful to have a front line weapon I really like that can paint now, range blaster is garbage at paint lol, but dread wringer has me pretty often getting highest turf covered for a match!

Heavy edit seems busted strong, but I did a really bad job of playing it, I think I was just playing with the wrong mindset about how to position and control space. Its a cool weapon though! (But also it desperately needs at least a little nerfing lol, its sooo strong). And I had a good time playing machine a bit again; I’d kinda dropped it cause its kit honestly felt too good, but I love having a point sensor kit for it again, even if I’m horrible at inkzooka 😅 a more supportive kit would have been kinda nice, but I think only I would be happy with that. I love a kit with a main that can carry and a kit that can help me and my teammates play our best. And the new brella is super cool but also I’m no good at brella, but I’m happy they gave it at least a miniscule buff and a super strong kit- it desperately needed it

      Brella main as well, the kit is incredible, just access to a lethal bomb is a game changer. With the vanilla kit I had to depend almost entirely on my special or teammates to displace long-range anchor type weapons.

      I’m so happy for the brella mains, they left things in a genuinely unplayable state for SO LOOOONNG. Honestly I hope they give you a couple more buffs still, having brellas in matches means that aoe weapons have a good matchup, and a brella on your team can really help you with hard matchups into shooters for certain weapons (like a lot of the ones I play 😅 lol)

      I’m so glad y’all have a playable weapon again!!! Sending love from the blaster and slosher players! ☺️

      A+ comment. It seems fun but I will say, a number of the people I’ve seen playing it just spam fizzybombs all match like cowards, and thats obnoxious. I’m here for there just being some fun kits though. If hammer gets a buff I actually think its a good fit for the weapon, but right now you have to hope there isn’t a splatling or like a splatershot pro in the match if you wanna use your special without just dying

      Heavy edit is honestly cool as hell, I even love the way it looks (doesn’t hurt that I love clear things, and pens and stationery lol) I should go try playing it a bit more and learn it before it probably gets a little bit of a nerf. I’d really love to have a tacticooler weapon I like playing, I adore support specials on weapons that can hold their own

      And you should! Brella can be hard to learn but I think its supper rewarding when you find an outplay or save a teammate!

      Aw nice! The new ballpoint is cool, I need to spend a little more time playing it. Vacuum is honestly a blast, just hard to coordinate in solo que sometimes

      Octobrush isn’t for me but it seems like a fun kit!

        @Cris_Color yeah, I can’t play brush too much because it wears out my trigger finger. But having a passive, helpful special instead of zipcaster which I haven’t got the hang of makes it much more appealing to me

          Makes sense. I think having a special you don’t have to work really hard to get any value out of can make the game a lot more relaxed
