Splatoon 2 - What Main Power Up Does for Every Weapon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2018
- Main Power Up is a new ability. Here's it's effect for each weapon (as of Version 4.3). Main Power Up effects do not stack very well at all tbh.
I recommend watching in fullscreen if possible.

"you stepped in enemy ink, test failed."
As a charger main, i can comfirm
Lmao the truth
“E-Liter: increases damage, but you still need a 100% charge to kill”
Phew, I was really we were going to go back to the dark days of OP char-
“Goo Tuber: CAN kill at partial charge”
NO, WHYYYYYYYYYYY!
Kevin Notanactualname brother we will survive as long as the whail doesn’t return 😭
E-Liter increases range. The splat charger increases damage. Boi.
@@jakeroberson3011 the goo tuber is trash period, fite me
As a dynamo main, it is quite useful to have the extra damage...
If only I didn't consume Main Saver as my daily bread
Napkin Dictator Here’s a tip from a fellow Dynamo main, even when you’re using a set with the maximum amount of swings (which requires around 2 primary ISM abilities and 5 secondaries or an equivalent amount), you can still get 1 MPU primary ability and 4 secondaries
@@Kyle-bh7tg I still think that something like run speed up or Bomb Defense DX might wind up being more useful, I don't know if the slightly increased kill range / damage is quite worth it, it's not like the Dynamo is a slayer weapon
I sort of agree, Dynamo can act as more of an anchor to the team, or mid-liner. the increased range won't change much, and I doubt it's worth it to get rid of main saver and ink recovery (among other more useful abilities). I'm not a Dynamo main myself, but my brother sure is; I've seen him play, and he plays very well (though I pain to admit it). Dynamo already has great range, and you'd be better off filling your slots with stuff that will help more in battle.
But main power up increases damage, not range for the Dynamo
I'm sure that's just a typo though
Range, damage- in the end my point still stands. Dynamo is powerful enough as it is, in fact the roller class is one of the most powerful weapons in the game (aside from a fully-charged charger). Add a little range to that, and you got the all-mighty dynamo.
Is this what you needed?

Thank you
This is under-liked
I salute you, hero.
This needs to be pinned ngl like it's the only comment i look for everytime
You're god
You thought I was main power up?
But it was I! Damage up!
D A M A G E U P
ベベルワベル except for brushes
graybushlive
Basically is, since you can swing them faster without even trying the opponent won’t have as much time to escape.
@Evan Tomlinson I'm looking rn and it says "slightly increases movement speed while inking".
Thought that meant the movement of the brush when you swing it, considering that's how it inks the ground.
But I guess it also does ink the floor when you walk.. never thought about that.
hey, at least it didn't unbalance the game like hell
To be fair, damage up didn't break the first game, defense up did. Damage up was just so common because it was neccessary to counter defense up, but I see your point :/
@@nicorovera9597 I would say quick respawn/stealth jump were more broken than either tbh.
i would beg to differ...
have you fucking seen the damage some of these weapons can do
if you take even the slightest hit, the slightest bit of ink coverage, bamboozler will be the equivalent of the spy from tf2. you'll die in one shot.
...kind of is the spy from tf2 but it isnt
@@nicorovera9597 Damage Up wasn't commonly run to counter defense up, it was to just be more powerful and quick with your kills. The faster you kill someone, the less time they have to retaliate.
@Sydney Dunaway I agree that QR and Stealth Jump were broken, however, Damage Up was incredibly powerful. Look an E-Liter and tell me that Damage Up wasn't broken.
_=/ is counter and/or cancels each other out_
Damage up =/ Defense up
Damage up =/ Quick Respawn
Swim speed up =/ Echolocator
Bombs/bomb rush =/ Stealth jump
Run speed up =/ fast camera sensitivity
Fun fact: they nerfed the tenta brella shield anyway, so you need MPU to regain the lost power
Because they NEEDED to nerf the Tenta Brella
Well you can buff it with this powerup
Wait they nerfed the brella just to give it the buff back with MPU? Dude.. that's why I say to myself sometimes "this game isn't fun anymore, everything is just busted".
Like what sense does it make to give a weapon like the Splattershot Pro, or the .Gals a dmg buff? It's all anybody uses.. and it isn't like we have Defense Up in this game to counter it either. They're just letting everyone be lazy.
Important to note for the Bamboozler: Its actually one of the few weapons where main weapon up actually does reduce the number of shots to kill. 2 Mains is enough to reduce the tap-shots to kill from 4 to 3, making it far more viable in frantic close quarter firefights. Also, even 2 mains is enough that it almost always kills in a single charge shot if the enemy spends even a millisecond in your ink.
How about 3 Mains and 3 subs?
When MPU came out i tried to test the effects of the ability and the effects were so small for most weapons i legitimately thought the ability didn't work correctly
The game tells you what it does for the weapon you have equipped
@@quintongareau-hames7903 i know but when i tried it out the effects for most weapons was unnoticeable to me but i know what it was supposed to do.
@@cm3635 oh. It's VERY abysmal. He needed 3 mains and 2 subs and brushes are practically the same
Can't wait for chuggaconroy to do an LP of splatoon 2 just so he can say "now let me bring special attention to main power up" over and over again.
last time i had you say it for me, now i expect you to know when to say it for me.
So basically: Brushes, rollers, and Brellas get mileage while every other weapon is better off with ink saver or something.
Cool beans...
Just wait until you see the actual meta...
Summoning
I’ll be honest, the effects seem pretty good on paper for most of them, but the effects are so low even when stacked up so much (you had 36 points out of a possible 57, and with diminishing returns, it’s not like it’ll get much better than what’s shown in the vid. Only ones that seem worth it over the staples like main saver and weapons specific ones (like say quick respawn/ quick jump on a Luna) are accuracy buffs on shooters and blasters and maybe damage buffs on a few high range shooters like the pro to preserve 3 shot kill at max range
EDIT: forgot about rollers, holy shit why did I forget about rollers, it seems amazing on rollers and maybe the goo tuber for those sick splatoon 1 partial charge killlssssss
the only thing that wasnt said which im interested in was if gloogas two shot kill like they used to with a lot of main up
yous gon git dem cheeks took my nigga
Doubtful, the rule seems to be that main power can’t decrease shots to kill, but Incase you forgot remember that the shots out of a roll 2 shot and have extended range
I like the unique effect it has specifically for Brellas.
Of course, if your canopy breaks you're probably gonna die anyway, but it could be helpful if you still win an engagement after it breaks, and another enemy is approaching you.
But I literally got this game 2 months ago so I have no idea if it's actually viable or not.
Main power up communist confirmed
That's alotta DAMAGE!
Man, this looks like it took forever to put together. Thank you!!

T H A T ' S A L O T T A D A M A G E
The Aerospray’ ink coverage is never enough, we need more, MORE!
I love your voice and how you explain things lmao. Reminds me of that funny teacher that just gets straight to the point.
Ink resist not only let’s you walk through enemy ink more “easily” and resist a little, it also gives you some defence stats as well
Thank you so much. With the information in your videos I have made a sploosh kit that is very op and is now my main. Love your content btw.
this is better then Srb dudes videos, that stuff has soo much down time
DaBoy2187 yeah srb2dude is a great player & that's all he really has going for him IMO
@@ts4gv RUDE
@@2013hondafit it's his personal opinion, and he's honestly right. The only going thing going for him is skills and (possibly) his accent.
@@zawgaroo Dang is he really that boring to yall? Personally I enjoy his streams more so than other comparably skilled players because he seems to be the most interactive with his chat. And his vids have helped me so much when i started getting into splatoon, I cant disregard that
.52 gal actually gets a shot accuracy buff on the ground too although it's just a 25% max increase as opposed to a 50% max increase while jumping.
Great video and love the cover from ff8
Theoretically, every single weapon in the game can benefit from Main Power Up (obviously), so I just use one main of the ability all the time. For example “damage up” will have a max damage cap, so there’s no need to have more than one pure of the ability.
@Donny Unless you’re in Splatoon 1 and are a Charger main XD
Most weapons with Damage Up take more than a pure to do Max damage
The thing is, main power up doesn't affect subs and that's where damage ups were most useful
@Honey Musty true but power up combined both
@Honey Musty Sub Power Up doesn't INKrease damage
Thanks for making this, very informative and was probably difficult to make
Your video has helped me figure out what main power does for so many weapons thank you for your help p
He missed out that it also increases ink for inkbrushes
As someone who used to use Range on weapons in MW3, I can testify that having Main Power Up on weapons with increased range is so worth it
I was not expecting Ace Attorney. Thank you.
Astro: aerospary when will it be enough!
Me: when I click the button once and the entire map is covered.
Interestingly Ink Resistance Up’s new damage nullification effect from touching enemy ink soft counters MPU’s main benefit of finishing off weakened enemies better. I could see Ink Resistance and Bomb Defense being useful for minimizing prior damage as much as possible.
Freakin love your videos 🤘🏽
Aerospray won’t be satisfied until they can click and everything is covered.
Thankyou for the video I loved it.
Thanks dude for helping me and giving me a quick laugh
Good video.
Very informative
Why do I love this thumbnail so much...
Because this thumbnail is every splat2 player 😂
Bamboo really just became
“You stepped in enemy ink, test failed.”
Looks like you equipped some voice power-up friendo
Charger: *i've been looking forward to this*
Love your content
I main glooga dualies deco so the ultra damage from my all main power up glasses helps alot with the slow-ish firerate
Me: uses Splat Roller.
Main Power up: Allow me to introduce myself.
Me: I have the power of gods.
Also Me: Gets my ass kicked 99% of the time.
The squeezer with no mpu is one tap shot and three weak shots to get a kill. One sub of mpu can take it to two weak shots basically making it a worse H-3
Thats a lot of DAMAGE
Dead meme
Might be pretty good with carbon rollers since they do in fact deal enough damage to one shot on a swing and it swings pretty darn fast for a roller, but the standard kill range is so short that it hampers the weapon more than the swing speed helps.
Wow thank you for showing how good gootubers are
*insert meme where spider man looks at a clone except with main power up and damage up*
My favorite roller is the Monado thank you very much
as a splat roller main, this did just as i hoped. my tactic of attack is kind of rebelious and "go stRAIGHT IN THERe" so the damage up that it gives me + swim speed/run speed is perfect for my plays.
Oh no, it's back...
Arguably the best ability. If not, one of them
Don't know if I'll pick it over other abilities, it sounds useful but only if you stack a lot of it. Maybe if I used Dynamo Rollers more I would want it, since it sounds like it increases the effective hitbox for killing. I really just wanted to know if the H3 kills in one shot with damage up, I guess not (unless you have help) thanks for the vid byeeee!
drop roller is the only important ability prove me wrong >:(
So the research team made an ability which its a must-to-pick meta
I like the undercover brella. The undercover brella is a good weapon, the problem is that the title “brella” puts them on a different pedistal than it should be on. The undercover brella is a good weapon for a more offensive play style than the others, but its especially efficient at picking enemies off one by one, as it has a unique property of having a canopy that respawns with every splat/assist. People expect it to cover the team but it is especially good at helping one teammate at best, combo-ing with individual weapons with each one having a unique and interesting combination like with the bloblobber, blaster, or charger/squiffer. This brella is best for different and/or changing tactics; rush the mid, sneak your way in, cover the base, or stick with a buddy. When you compare an undercover to a normal or tenta brella, you’re picking a squiffer and expecting to reach across the map like the rest of the chargers.
Haha. Nice. I’ll probably try put this on my areospray
"so just know your already strong shield is stronger" lmao
Useful, thanks.
The honk noise he made on the undercover brella is just so random it's funny! 😄 Lol
Helpful, thanks
I instantly subbed when I heard Phoenix
Now that there is a splatfest tee replica, with ability doubler as its main, you could essentially put even more main power up on you weapons and do more damage for let’s say the bamboozler
i run main power up on either my shoes or my head item. cant remember which but i use the carbon roller cause i realized i could make use of the sub, unlike to normal roller since i dont really like or care about curling bombs, and auto bombs help me with getting kills since carbon roller isnt as strong as splat roller plus im more of a turf gainer than a enemy killer. also i think the ink cloud is great after 1 match where i thrown it from an area not far from spawn to around the center-ish of the map and got a kill from it and alot of turf.
Now that's a *lot of damage*
Btw the for tenta brella, It can survive 5 blasts from the rainmaker when deployed and launched outwards
5:35 main power down
I would upgrade dualie squelchers till they deal 30 damage per shot, like the splat dualies to make it (a bit more) better
Bamboozler is a whole new weapon with this xD
I find main power up to be most useful on the splattershots for that accuracy!
Thank. You.
I was told by inkipedia that it increased the thickness of the ink line in brushes
“tenta brella: increases brella durability”
good to see they will never actually give tenta brella the buff it needs not even in main power up :’)
With normal tenta you can only go make a sandwich before the shield goes down but with your entire gear load out and main weapon power up you can eat a full course meal before the brella goes down
legend
I like how most of the comments over 4 years ago are like "this is useless, this is trash" and later it turned out that mpu was strong to the extent people complained about it
Damn, damage up was such a good ability
How do you change what weapon it makes better, for me all the mpu in my inventory is for the Kensa splattershot pro, and I don’t even like the weapon
I can’t believe you did my main first?
wait! ink resistance up is actually defense up except its upgraded so you can run faster in enemy ink!
Finally, RUNNING IN THE 90's!
So funny had to sub
Carbon roller MPU only to use it as a regular roller. XD
It may cap at 99 so that you canr one shot, but like you said, if the enemy has even .3 chip damage from something else.....OHKO
The splattershot pro is indeed the best weapon in the game, which means I have to carry my main from the splattershot to the splattershot pro which takes a lot of work
Hi yes I would like more range on my e-liter please? I know it already has the longest range in the game but I need more for … uh 👀 turfing purposes. Yes turfing purposes because I am totally one of those people who bring chargers into turf war and doesn’t play rank.
Its kinda sad how slight the range gets increased
@Julio Paulino yeah ik but MPU is almost useless on eliter
I have been grinding Main Power Up for my Bloblobber and now I realize it doesn't increase damage like I originally thought 😭😭😭
"Thats like saying splatlings are chargers"
No, it's like saying Chargers, Splatlings, Dualies, and Brellas are all shooters because they shoot
Ahh yes, totally useful now
So it's just a superior quick respawn since it's a training wheel ability without any counters like respawn punisher or getting a kill.
As someone who mains the kensa dynamo, MPU is really great because of how much I need my one-hit-KO box.
That one guy who has a full main special power up and a blobblobeler
I'd use it extensively on my Kensa Dynamo if Main Saver wasn't so goddamn important.
Really liking the ability (2 mains of MPU) on Splattershot since I find myself jumping a lot when using it. Also plan on running maybe 2 subs of it on my Ballpoint Nouveau build.
I wonder when main power up on the Splattershot pro will be nerfed
My plan on running Main Power Up is on the new Aerospray, and I will run a near perfect set.
For the chargers Main Power Up should increase the time you can hold your charge for. This doesn’t include the Bamboozler or Scopes.
So there really is no need to have it on the splattershot pro. It still takes three shots to kill. However if your enemy is on ur ink it can be a potential 2 shot kill.
But no one steps in enamy ink... Falloff damage can make it take 4
I've been doing research on this myself
Flashbacks to splatoon 1 when partial charges could one shot
I feel like running it on a brella would be helpful, because it allows for a better and more consistent support weapon
*THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE*
Warning: Increased ink coverage is actually just special charge up in disguise, it’s not more turf covered.
