I’m confused about this, when I jump to the person in the most danger I immediately get splatted because they camp my jump location. And how does this help with chargers specifically? I’ve been using chargers since the release of splatoon 2 and this advice is new to me.
@@toulouse4209 it was a joke. You should jump to people on the least danger, but some players don't care how much danger you are in and jump to you anyways.
@@carquest3748 oh wow you see I knew that the advice was bad but I somehow convinced myself I’ve been doing it wrong. I guess I let my stupid show lmao
not if they are a splatling or charger? what about stringers? and even like blobobnler and explosher basically long range dont go right into danger there just isnt anypoint cuz they'll die
When I'm trying to learn chargers, the biggest thing I wish is that the training room was as dynamic visually as the stages. I wish it was colorful and distracting, I wish there was a moving background, I wish that the moving dummies moved randomly, etc. The training room is too pristine and I have trouble relating things like distance and speed in there to distance on a real stage I know there's recon, but recon doesnt have dummies. I need them to let me put those octoling AIs from the end of After Alterna into recon.
While I agree that I wish the training room had more options and was more dynamic, you gotta be able to set your worries aside and just treat regular matches like practice. It can be hard because it feels like the real deal so if you perform poorly it can be discouraging, but nothing beats practice in an actual match. The more you can get used to it in ranked especially, the less you’ll care if you lose and the better you could learn as a result. And forget about the ranking system, too. Focus on your skills as a charger and let the ranking come second to that until you feel like you can start getting serious about it.
E-Liter mains: The moment I get a good Subweapon its over for yall Charger mains: The moment I get a good Special it's over for yall Goo Tubers: The moment I get a good main weapon it's over for yall
i mean to be fair, what sub does an e-liter even want? I think mine works pretty well for it, the only thing that would be better is obviously burst bomb, but god knows even the squid research lab isn't stupid enough to do that again. Mine is one of the better things it could get other than burst
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 E-Liter wants a lethal bomb so badly. Anything that can make a close-quarters matchup more bearable or give it a secondary option for mid-range pressure that won't require it to charge its shot all the way. The Splatterscope having Splat Bombs is a godsend because it can chuck or bowl the bomb to scatter enemies backwards and then snipe them from a distance, or place one at its feet to get out of sticky short-range situations like when it's riding the tower or when it's ambushed from behind.
At the same time, the Splatterscope would do anything for a good special. The Ink Vac is quite possibly one of the worst specials in the game, and even though it has its occasional uses, those uses require the Charger to play anti-thetical to how its meant to be played, that is, far away from the enemies and the line of fire. It would enjoy virtually any other special. Killer Wail, Ink Storm, Crab Tank, Inkzooka, Wave Breaker, Big Bubbler, you name it.
One thing i should point out. Hiding the laser as a scoped charger is near impossible. Unless you want to look at the floor or wall then flick, it's just not worth it. Tracking and muscle memory is very important especially at high levels of play.
idk about IMPOSSIBLE but practicing flicks until it's muscle memory gets you very far as a charger, and the more often you can hide it the better! Although there is something to be said for the level of pressure while having a laser over the splat zone
34:45 - The part about still being able to impact the game even if you miss is why I recommend the Heavy/Hydra Splatlings as a beginner backliner weapon. They're really good at being a threat even without hitting their shots, and they're a lot less punishing for missing than the various Chargers are.
@@valfodryonsirius7698 Played a TC match with a backline stringer that went 18-0 and was insanely impressed. Cool stringer player even got on the tower when the rest of us frontline goons were all dead.
@@valfodryonsirius7698 Just gave Stringer an earnest try yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how fun and effective it felt to use, even as someone that usually plays a random assortment of regular Splat Dualies, various Splatlings (mostly Mini and Nautlius), and some other junk.
I've been wanting to get into chargers since splatoon 1. When the game first came out I used them a little bit but had to get used to motion aiming so didn't stick to it very long. Then I got to S rank using blaster, 52, and Tentatek/Octoshot, and I realized at that stage that trying to practice as a charger beginner at S rank was getting me nowhere. Everyone knows the counterplay and I struggled to learn or practice the basic mechanics of the weapon. So I made a side account since the wii u doesn't have paid online and worked my way back to A with just chargers. I... still did not get very good. 2 came and went. I didn't really bother playing ranked. I was too burnt out from 1 and stuck to story, salmon run, and a few splatfests. Now I'm putting way more time into 3. I've hit S+, max hazard, top 5% big run, max level tableturf, 100% story (all stages with all weapons), etc, and I still can't say I'm a competent charger player. Better than I was in 1 for sure, but the average player is so much better than we were back in 1 I wouldn't exactly call it progress. Dozens of hours and little to show for it, these weapons are just very hard to use.
Charger is a hard weapon to master for sure, and the average charger user has more than likely had hours and hours of experience from 2 and 1, if they’re not a new player. So yeah, most people will know it more than you do, but the important thing is that you have fun playing them. As long as you can keep coming back to chargers, you’ll definitely get better. Maybe watch your replays and analyze things other than your aim too, like your positioning, advantage/disadvantage awareness, and when you should have pushed or should have backed up.. a good charger player isn’t just someone who aims well after all.
23:55 I've said this a lot to my friends: It'd be so cool if there was an option to be left-handed in this game. Where are my fellow lefties right now?
I think it's implied that every cephalopod is ambidexterous considering you can swap handedness with the splatanas. Also Marie specifically has been shown using both her left and right for different activities in official art. That does beg the question of why everyone seems to default to right-handedness though...
God the Ink Vac is such an undercooked Special & especially so for the Chargers. Whose idea was it to give a Special that requires you to be CLOSE to the opponents IN the line of fire to a weapon whose entire playstyle is staying FAR AWAY FROM OPPONENTS AND THE LINE OF FIRE????
Contrast I guess? Idk. Not a weapon designed to pop it on cooldown like tenta or zooka, one more intended to be saved for a push or desperate defense. Maybe a little similar to why Hydra had splashdown, because splashdown was assumed by the devs to be way better at killing rollers behind you than the main weapon, a panic button for when your weapon is not right for the job.
In splat zones, I can use it to not only make my team 95% invincible, but it stops the opponents ink from touching the ground, allowing us to take control, so it's pretty good there. It's also good for holding the tower on tower control, but other than that it kinda sucks for personal usage outside of support.
I love these videos, and me being a Charger main myself, I can certainly agree dropping into heavily active mid as a E-Liter is very bad. Can't wait to see the next Charger video!
another thing not talked about but relevant to visible laser is that chargers with a full charge will glow/shine (different than charge hold glow). important for the charger to know that they stick out like a sore thumb AND for frontliners advancing on a charger to know when they are at highest risk of being sniped!
12:02 thought I'd point out, it is actually different if you use stick controls (with sticks the scoped version turns much slower which can help with precision). What could possibly compel a sticks player to use charger of all things, I have no idea, but I figured I'd mention it anyway
I would like to see some different more niche kits for chargers, because it would be soo cool to have a splat charger or squiffer or even a goo tuber with ultra stamp or zip caster. So basically the ultra stamp would be perfect for when someone is pushing at you and you're trying to survive but then it's like a reverse card and you start stampeding in their way or just yeet the stamp at them. Also eliter with zip caster too, but some maps would probably need to have some other places where you can stand on it.
Gee, this would've been useful to see when it released instead of three days later, after I made a comment demonstrating how little I know about this class of weapons. Thanks for notifying me when channels I have notifications turned on for upload videos that I'd be interested in, youtube!
42:20 I play max sens charger. Its *absolutely* workable but requires a lot of patience and really good fine control of your muscles. If you *can* do it though its very rewarding
In my eyes there is no "meta" sensitivity. It's just whatever lets you play the best. It's like saying drawing with pencil is objectively better than drawing with watercolour.
25:11 I remember that tech from splat 1, charge delaying, I see so many people pop into squid form to kinda do the same. but I never saw anyone talk about it in 2. so it makes sense that it's an unknown tech now a days... strange how I mastered this technique in splat 1 yet I can't sub-strafe??? I can main strafe though just fine.... strange
I see so many people complaining about the maps in this game so here is my video idea: Create your own map or rework something like Moray or Mincemeat. I know it would take a lot of but I would love to see a pro player's opinion of a "perfect" map.
Hey Gem, charger main here! The person that splatted you at 40:11 could be heard to your left in the form of a fizzy bomb at 40:03, just as you were jumping off the platform. You can also hear the fizzy bomb to your right at 40:09. I was surprised that none of you noticed the sound/gave it importance and now I'm left wondering if I've developed this level of attention because I'm used to frontlines attacking me from the most unexpected places hehe
I noticed your camera movement right as you go to shoot is insanely jittery. Like, the movement towards the opponent is good, but right as you let go of the trigger you just flick randomly. For example, at 33:39, your movement towards the roller is spot on, but right as you go to shoot you flick so far downwards that the shot hits _the ledge_ This is generally a problem of nerves. I find that before ranked matches it helps to just take a moment in the training room to just take a few deep breaths. Just clear my mind. In my experience, I get more consistent picks when I slow down and shoot intentionally instead of going for speed and flicks. Whatever gets you calm should do the trick.
Recently I've been using chargers often and Sub Power Up has been really helpful for E-Liter and Splat Charger/Splatterscope. The longer throwing range for splat bombs lets you apply pressure around corners/ledges from further away, keeping you safer. Ink mines grow in radius as well, allowing them to more easily tag players with high movement speed, as well as better painting ability. Whenever I'm not feeling like Respawn Punisher, Sup Power Up is a good alternative :)
Hello! I am in a difficult situation and was wondering if anyone had some tips. Despite doing well leading up to a rank up battle, I am consistently failing at them (this has happened between 5 and 10 times now). This is made even more frustrating by the fact that you receive 0 points back for the 1 or 2 wins you may have got in a rank up battle. I am consistently able to get 3 wins or more in a normal series, but does anyone have tips for how I can translate that into my rank up battles?
I'm kinda just trying to come up with a label that they fit under. The part 1/part 2 is the most accurate but I figured these are the weapons you're most likely to see played as anchors on a competitive comp. The next one is called "Funky Chargers" and Snipewriter sure is funky
I certainly agree, as a charger main. So im going to share my experiences I cannot stand: the bamboozler, the snipewriter, splat charger My mains: elitre scoped, splatterscope (my favourite), and goo tuber Muscle memory: this is incredibly important, over time you get used to the ins and outs of chargers. You may not notice it, but splatterscope is quick and agile while elitre is slow and perched. It took me years of practice, but it pays off. Chargehold: ..its not that useful, im sorry. I only really use it with the goo tuber. A lot of people think that chargehold is OP, but no, its not. If you are a scoped charger main like myself you can easily kill an enemy before the get to you. Also, the accuracy is much better with scoped chargers, I really cannot go back; you don't notice it until you can't really see a long range enemy. And can't track them... Hiding the laser: YES, usually I will make an arch and then BAM. They're dead! Try to kill as quickly as possible. Also, right side peaking is good like you said Confidence: try to flick your shots, act confident, keep your hands steady. Nothing looks worse to me then a inconfident charger. Duals: chargers are considered difficult to play and require aim. As such, chargers will try to challenge you. Its really weird, like a tradition. Chargers will try to flank eachother. This usually happens 1-3 times per match, one of them wins. It might be an insecurity problem, but I always try to kill as much as possible if there is another charger. The one with the best aim and most kills win. Edit: play ranked! It really helps your aim when aiming at harder targets. My favourite is rainmaker, the rainmaker carrier is going to be slowed down and it makes for a lot of fun. Tower control and clam blitz is... fine, I guess? I just hate splat zones, all my homies hate splat zones.
Speaking about the chargers being hard bit, i will say that the main thing about that is the time you need to master the weapon. Imo, with enough practice, anybody can do very well, but it takes a very long time to learn. I started playing chargers in 2, where i went from a scoped e-liter to a non-scoped vcharger then onto a scoped vcharger. At the beginning, The main issue is getting used to your range and building up muscle memory for your aim, and i remember just spending hours in the training area before i even played a match, just making sure i could hit my shots reliably with flicks. Then i slowly made my way up the ranks in each mode all the way to X. Practical experience in games was definitely the most helpful, though aiming ability very much so as well, but once you get those down you can pretty much transition to any charger as long as you get used to the range. Plus, your improved aim will help out everywhere else too. Good luck to any aspiring charger players!!
I used to main the splat charger cause I couldn't get over the the long charge time and the tremendous ink usage of the E-Liter. But you'll get countered by E-liters hard so I finally decided to switch and boy am I glad. The range and better special makes it much more worthwhile. Once you land those shots it's an absolute beast. The charger is still really good but once they enemy has an E-Liter it's not fun anymore
I prefer the Splat Charger for the fast charge, but I stop playing Charger in Clam Blitz and swap to a support weapon. I would only try the GooTuber, Snipewriter and Squiffer in Clam Blitz again, even the last times was not successful with them. Squiffer has the gameplay style to play in Clam Blitz. Snipewriter can give paint with his sub and with full charge you could get 2 opponents (4 of the 5 shots). GooTuber has torpedo and missiles for scouting and kill with 65/70% of charge, even the tab shots are very helpful.
Instead of charger, try tri stringer, it allows you to contribute into fights a bit more than a charger's hit or miss style as it turns the ground into a hazard and allows you to wall people out of zones with the exploding arrows and toxic mist. If you need something to set the opponents into dissary to stop a push killer wail mixed with toxic mist stops or at the very least slows a push faster than any special I know.
@@valfodryonsirius7698 Thanks for the reminder. Yes it can work, but I prefer other Non-Charger weapons for Clam Blitz, like Rapid Blaster and the Forge Splatershot Pro, maybe the Tentatek Splatershot too.
Yeah I found I had to switch to a much lighter support weapon for clam blitz, cause there’s no way I’m bringing an e-liter into it. I tried the squiffer which I’d never seriously played before and had a lot of fun jumping around and flick shotting. I dont know what I’d have done if I had an eliter lmao.
Important note: in soloQ the player in the most danger gets jumped to instead of the player in the least amount of danger.
Obviously because if they aren't in danger than they aren't where the action is
I’m confused about this, when I jump to the person in the most danger I immediately get splatted because they camp my jump location. And how does this help with chargers specifically? I’ve been using chargers since the release of splatoon 2 and this advice is new to me.

not if they are a splatling or charger? what about stringers? and even like blobobnler and explosher basically long range dont go right into danger there just isnt anypoint cuz they'll die
When I'm trying to learn chargers, the biggest thing I wish is that the training room was as dynamic visually as the stages. I wish it was colorful and distracting, I wish there was a moving background, I wish that the moving dummies moved randomly, etc. The training room is too pristine and I have trouble relating things like distance and speed in there to distance on a real stage
I know there's recon, but recon doesnt have dummies. I need them to let me put those octoling AIs from the end of After Alterna into recon.
I mean, you could just hop into a match and treat it like practice. You got all the moving targets and flashy colors you'd want there
While I agree that I wish the training room had more options and was more dynamic, you gotta be able to set your worries aside and just treat regular matches like practice. It can be hard because it feels like the real deal so if you perform poorly it can be discouraging, but nothing beats practice in an actual match.

My mains: elitre scoped, splatterscope (my favourite), and goo tuber
Muscle memory: this is incredibly important, over time you get used to the ins and outs of chargers. You may not notice it, but splatterscope is quick and agile while elitre is slow and perched. It took me years of practice, but it pays off.
Chargehold: ..its not that useful, im sorry. I only really use it with the goo tuber. A lot of people think that chargehold is OP, but no, its not. If you are a scoped charger main like myself you can easily kill an enemy before the get to you. Also, the accuracy is much better with scoped chargers, I really cannot go back; you don't notice it until you can't really see a long range enemy. And can't track them...
Hiding the laser: YES, usually I will make an arch and then BAM. They're dead! Try to kill as quickly as possible. Also, right side peaking is good like you said
Confidence: try to flick your shots, act confident, keep your hands steady. Nothing looks worse to me then a inconfident charger.
Duals: chargers are considered difficult to play and require aim. As such, chargers will try to challenge you. Its really weird, like a tradition. Chargers will try to flank eachother. This usually happens 1-3 times per match, one of them wins. It might be an insecurity problem, but I always try to kill as much as possible if there is another charger. The one with the best aim and most kills win.
Edit: play ranked! It really helps your aim when aiming at harder targets. My favourite is rainmaker, the rainmaker carrier is going to be slowed down and it makes for a lot of fun. Tower control and clam blitz is... fine, I guess? I just hate splat zones, all my homies hate splat zones.
Speaking about the chargers being hard bit, i will say that the main thing about that is the time you need to master the weapon. Imo, with enough practice, anybody can do very well, but it takes a very long time to learn.
I started playing chargers in 2, where i went from a scoped e-liter to a non-scoped vcharger then onto a scoped vcharger. At the beginning, The main issue is getting used to your range and building up muscle memory for your aim, and i remember just spending hours in the training area before i even played a match, just making sure i could hit my shots reliably with flicks. Then i slowly made my way up the ranks in each mode all the way to X.
Practical experience in games was definitely the most helpful, though aiming ability very much so as well, but once you get those down you can pretty much transition to any charger as long as you get used to the range. Plus, your improved aim will help out everywhere else too. Good luck to any aspiring charger players!!
Gem seems to have forgotten that there's a replay option :?
I've been needing this video for a while, I want to try out chargers but I have no idea what to do or where to go
Backline?
Eliter is love eliter is life ❤
I used to main the splat charger cause I couldn't get over the the long charge time and the tremendous ink usage of the E-Liter. But you'll get countered by E-liters hard so I finally decided to switch and boy am I glad. The range and better special makes it much more worthwhile. Once you land those shots it's an absolute beast. The charger is still really good but once they enemy has an E-Liter it's not fun anymore
For the one learning chargers, here is a protip:
The best charger is the one that has the longest PP
I prefer the Splat Charger for the fast charge, but I stop playing Charger in Clam Blitz and swap to a support weapon.
I would only try the GooTuber, Snipewriter and Squiffer in Clam Blitz again, even the last times was not successful with them.
Squiffer has the gameplay style to play in Clam Blitz.
Snipewriter can give paint with his sub and with full charge you could get 2 opponents (4 of the 5 shots).
GooTuber has torpedo and missiles for scouting and kill with 65/70% of charge, even the tab shots are very helpful.
Instead of charger, try tri stringer, it allows you to contribute into fights a bit more than a charger's hit or miss style as it turns the ground into a hazard and allows you to wall people out of zones with the exploding arrows and toxic mist. If you need something to set the opponents into dissary to stop a push killer wail mixed with toxic mist stops or at the very least slows a push faster than any special I know.
@@valfodryonsirius7698 Thanks for the reminder. Yes it can work, but I prefer other Non-Charger weapons for Clam Blitz, like Rapid Blaster and the Forge Splatershot Pro, maybe the Tentatek Splatershot too.
Yeah I found I had to switch to a much lighter support weapon for clam blitz, cause there’s no way I’m bringing an e-liter into it. I tried the squiffer which I’d never seriously played before and had a lot of fun jumping around and flick shotting. I dont know what I’d have done if I had an eliter lmao.
