you forgot the most important reason why you would run the ability, to keep armor after an indirect bomb explotion~ also just to note, 2subs is realy comon in Japan~ 2subs alows you to survive 3indirect burst bombs, alows you to survive 1bumb from baler folowed by a non-lethal explotion and alows you to tank a fizzy bomb~ stil, nicely done teach~
I just hope the ability does get a buff in the future so it can: • Increase the area in which the player is immune to the marking effects of Tenta Missiles and the revealing effects of Squid Beakons. • Increase the amount of damage it takes for you to appear on the minimap. • Decrease the range Autobombs and Torpedos tracks players. • Shorten the duration of Thermal Ink and Haunt. • Reduce the visual effects and noises of hitsounds. • Reduce damage from Ink Storm, Bubble Blower and Sting Ray. Hopefully with these kinds of buffs, I will become a great ability to use over the other already great abilities such as Swim Speed Up, Main Power Up and Stealth Jump.
I always nickname this sub Sub Defense up because I only thought it protected you from the bombs, ink mines, and point sensors! I never actually knew about it protecting you from inkjet missiles! I gotta use it more lol
Honestly I’ve been considering I’m trying to squeeze a little bit of it in my charger gear set. It honestly would be useful since often times bombs are the first thing thrown at a charger when we’re on high ground. Thank you for yet another informative video vasko 🙏🏻
Amazing video, thank you! I was always wondering whether this ability would be worth to have in my gear, so this was a great overview. I guess I should really give it a try.
Great video Vasko. I only have one sub ability of Bomb Defense up DX on each of my Splat Dualies gears, my .52 Gal Deco gears, and the gears I use for Ranked Battles. I always have 2 Swim Speed and 2 Run Speed on my gear. I either have 2 Ink Recovery up or 2 Ink Saver Main depending on which gear I'm wearing.
You forgot to mention indirect explosions from Splat Bombs(and I think other bombs) dont break Ink Armor after 1 sub also. That's good for Ink Armour Weapons like the Splatershot Jr, H3 D, Kensa Undercover, and Custom Hydra Splatling.
Another thing to note is that a lot of attacks that are affected by this ability can deal 30.0 damage points which is just enough to break Ink Armor and there are a lot of ways to deal 70.0 damage points so unless you must have triples (I'm cursed) just give this ability one sub slot.
@@spaghetie that's true I guess, and I'm most likely biased towards Brellas because they are my main weapon of choice. I'm still sad that main power up doesn't give canopy health up to brellas.
Tbh I only really use bomb def up for splatlings because people are going to be throwing a crap ton of bombs at you. This ability has saved me a few times from something that could of gotten me like as you said , burst bombs. But I didn’t really understand the updated ability so thanks for the video. Can’t believe no one else has done this yet cx
I use a perfect gear setup with one main of run speed and two with swim speed. One is pure swim speed and the other two have DX as the sub ability and I use this with my carbon roller
Yeah its pretty good. I hear some players like running 2 or 3 since it protects against combinations of subs and specials, but it was a bit too detailed to cover
I feel like it is probably most effective for dealing with tenta missiles. It is really easy to take chip damage and get splatted by an enemy polishing you off. I do like that they combined the two abilities. Cold-blooded was probably the worst ability, so it was always irritating for a cool piece of gear to have it *cough cough Pearl's crown.* Now it is actually not completely useless. I do think it is outclassed by ink saver main, ink saver sub, main power up, special charge up, special saver, and special power up, but it still has its uses.
I would imagine that bomb defence up deluxe is actually good in rainmaker. In rainmaker, there will be a LOT of blasts more than other modes. Bomb defence up I believe would reduce damage taken by the rainmaker shield explosion, along with attacks from the rainmaker itself. When you're the one holding the rainmaker, the opponents will be throwing loads of bombs after your blood, so you need that defence. And plus... The baller special is good for rainmaker, so people will be using that a lot
It's kind of an eh ability, actually, as people don't really "throw loads of bombs at you". Nope! They nuke you, crush you, shoot you into oblivion, etc. plus i don't see many ballers in high-rank rainmaker tbh
@@mattstat716 I know it's still not a great ability but I was just stating an example of when it would be somewhat useful due to all the explosions that happen in this mode
I had a piece of gear, and every other ability on it was either bomb def. or cold blooded. Then Bomb Defense Up DX came out. My shirt was perfectly stacked. I didn’t even have to use chunks!!
I might consider using it myself when I can get enough Ability Chunks to add a couple of it as sub-abilities to my Pearl Amiibo Gear that carries Bomb Defense DX as a primary ability.
Hey Vasko nice video on the Bomb defense DX! And your ever wondered what would if all the color in Inkopolios was gone? Would the whole place turn black and white? Or would Marie and Agent 4 turn into hard-boiled detectives? What do you think?
Casually used to like that ability, but when it didnt really help. I die to random bombs behind me quite frequently, although i already like the abilities ive chosen. I main the kensa octobrush My abilities: Special up, Quick super jump, Swim speed up, Haunt, Quick super jump, And super jump dodge thing..it saves me from super jump campers
I curious now , how much swim speed up do you use until its useless to add more ? Like after 5 do you max out on swim speed or can you fill all 9 slots and then max out
Ink mine? Forget the ink mine, what about the sprinkler? That thing is the weakest sub in the game. The sprinkler definitely deserves a buff more than anything. They could either make it so that you can place up to 3 at a time, or increase the duration which the sprinkler rapidly sprays ink everywhere.
The funniest thing happened to me the other day so I was in a battle and someone equipped the baller and they bumped into me and once and they were about to bump into me a second time and I thought oh I'm done but I forgot that I had bomb defence up DX and they bumped into me a second time and I managed to get away and then splat them
Lol I got triple bomb defense subs with one soda and it also had a main of it but then again it doesn't really help as much as like swim or run speed up, or even drop roller.
Do you have any tips for stacking abilities on gear? Currently I try to find gear that doesn’t have a low chance and try to save up to 100000 before using tickets so I can scrub them if they mess up
I would want to see what it would be like if u stack main power up so far I only managed to stack the ink resistance and im working on stacking main power up. I use the inkbrush just so its even harder to hit me. recommended if u like to charge in without a plan. also it took me a while to realize that ink resistance decreases damaged and the decrease speed on enemy ink I only thought it just reduced speed so that's why I never used it
A little off topic, but do you think running one sub of ink recovery is worth it? I’m trying to make the perfect gear set for me and this video helped a lot, but I need more help ^^’
Honestly, Bomb Defense DX should be used along with Ink Resistance, just to give you that slightly better chance to survive a fight. I pair Thermal Ink with Ink Res and Bomb Def DX when I use Splatlings, except minis, Hydras, Ballpoints, and Nautilus, and with Bloblobber, if I want to play stubbornly. Not too many good uses that I can think of beyond that... Maybe in future titles, they'll buff the bomb def a bit more to make it more versatile, rather than take an extra burst bomb to the face.
i have 2 pure sets of this ability. i wear it when i meme or i just want to use it. bomb defense dx is the best ability, and cold blooded shall be missed owo
One sub's p much all you need, but even then it's kinda "do i really need it?" Done a lot of meme kits without bomb defense DX, done some ranked without it, and... yeah it's pretty meh in the longrun
I think this ability is OK. Its not bad in some situations but... I'd rather stack another ability likes sub power up or sub saver or whatever its called.
you forgot the most important reason why you would run the ability, to keep armor after an indirect bomb explotion~
also just to note, 2subs is realy comon in Japan~ 2subs alows you to survive 3indirect burst bombs, alows you to survive 1bumb from baler folowed by a non-lethal explotion and alows you to tank a fizzy bomb~
stil, nicely done teach~
I remember us being so confused as to what was going on when we tested all that xD
A real trooper, you took so many subs and specials XD
DX defense 💣
DX is XD backwards
Peak comedy
Lol
XD
I just hope the ability does get a buff in the future so it can:
• Increase the area in which the player is immune to the marking effects of Tenta Missiles and the revealing effects of Squid Beakons.
• Increase the amount of damage it takes for you to appear on the minimap.
• Decrease the range Autobombs and Torpedos tracks players.
• Shorten the duration of Thermal Ink and Haunt.
• Reduce the visual effects and noises of hitsounds.
• Reduce damage from Ink Storm, Bubble Blower and Sting Ray.
Hopefully with these kinds of buffs, I will become a great ability to use over the other already great abilities such as Swim Speed Up, Main Power Up and Stealth Jump.
StickMaster500 "shorten the duration of thermal ink and haunt"
tfw you can't buff one unpopular ability without nerfing another
You know splatoon and TF2!??!
I always nickname this sub Sub Defense up because I only thought it protected you from the bombs, ink mines, and point sensors! I never actually knew about it protecting you from inkjet missiles! I gotta use it more lol
The main use of bomb defense for me is with ink armor, which makes it noticeably stronger against shots
:o oh I didn't know it helps the armor!
Try it, it makes you take one extra shot I guess, I have been always using one sub with N-Zap
@@VaskoGames bomb defence alows you to keep armor after being hit by an indirect bomb, however it has no efect on shots what so ever~
It very helpful i have it pop off for me with my Ink armor before I main the N Zap
Funnily enough this is the meta now. Almost everyone uses one sub in their kits. I even use it as one of my 3 non-MPU slots on my CDS
Hmmm Mario bros DX
Mario kart 8 DX
Bomb defense dx
TOO MUCH XD
Also That suck at the end made me XD
You said XD not DX
@@iivoidarm_y537 r/wwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

New weapons coming!!!!!!
And a free demo for people who don’t have the game!!!!!!
Itsuki Hirano the free demo is finally out :)

Why does this ability not affect Brella canopy resistance to bombs?
I guess it only affects the player. Plus, it would be unfair for the Brella to be the only weapon to get anything from it.
@@spaghetie that's true I guess, and I'm most likely biased towards Brellas because they are my main weapon of choice. I'm still sad that main power up doesn't give canopy health up to brellas.
Also if you have ink armor and bomb defense up, a direct hit from splat bomb or others will do less damage after the inj armor breaks.
2:33 you held back a laugh, didn't you :D
Maybe im a bit of a stalker, maayyybeeeee xD
It always a good day when Vasko uploads :)
When you turn on captions it keeps thinking instead of "this ability" it's "disability". I can agree with Auto captions for once
Tbh I only really use bomb def up for splatlings because people are going to be throwing a crap ton of bombs at you. This ability has saved me a few times from something that could of gotten me like as you said , burst bombs.

I use a perfect gear setup with one main of run speed and two with swim speed. One is pure swim speed and the other two have DX as the sub ability and I use this with my carbon roller
I use haunt from Octoling armor and 3 bomb defense, is it good? Or idk, you give really gud advice
Yeah its pretty good. I hear some players like running 2 or 3 since it protects against combinations of subs and specials, but it was a bit too detailed to cover
Dude the music, I feel like I'm watching Company Man
Well, that's actually pretty dang good :O
And me, with my pures which are yet to be made, I'm sure I have some gear with that lying around :D

what happend to cold blooded ?
Main power up
Casually used to like that ability, but when it didnt really help. I die to random bombs behind me quite frequently, although i already like the abilities ive chosen.
I main the kensa octobrush
My abilities: Special up, Quick super jump, Swim speed up, Haunt, Quick super jump, And super jump dodge thing..it saves me from super jump campers
This is why I wear a pure of bomb defense DX on tower control
only one sub? hey thats pretty good
Ikr!
I have 13 Bomb Defense DX drinks.
13.
THIRTEEN.
HELP.
I have 72 chunks.
SEVENTY-TWO.
HELP HELP.
AnimatedTrash #22 same
I have 4
Thanks for the tip
Congrats on getting pure gear!!! (Lol I only have 3 that have all the same thing for sub abilities)
It's not that hard with this ability being unvaluable. I have 100+ chunks of bomb defense
make a video rating all of the abilities, INKluding exclusive ones
I just sort of ended up with a 1 main 3 sub Bomb Defense DX shirt. I don't even remember getting it.
I curious now , how much swim speed up do you use until its useless to add more ? Like after 5 do you max out on swim speed or can you fill all 9 slots and then max out
I use my Takoraka Mesh for BDDX. The question is: Should it increase durability of brella shields? 🤔
It should but it don't
Is that the same Artemis from FTWW (Fun Times With Woomys) patreon?
I am subbed and this vid is so awesome! Lol poor ink mine hope it gets another buff lol XD
(Edit): Suc bombs op
Ink mine? Forget the ink mine, what about the sprinkler? That thing is the weakest sub in the game. The sprinkler definitely deserves a buff more than anything. They could either make it so that you can place up to 3 at a time, or increase the duration which the sprinkler rapidly sprays ink everywhere.
IKR , though I still use ink mine in splat zones, though it is kind of useless in any other mode other than tracking... XD or should I say DX X D
Wow thank u so much vasko now come to think about it I need to use one cuz ink jet r pain :p
I may have some of that idea but i have to ask a ink resistance pures i’d like to know cause i may have to pure one of my gear. It helps.
Yes I sure do like me some Mario Kart 8 DX- wait...
I play Mario Kart 8 DX- every d (gets splatted) Sorry
The funniest thing happened to me the other day so I was in a battle and someone equipped the baller and they bumped into me and once and they were about to bump into me a second time and I thought oh I'm done but I forgot that I had bomb defence up DX and they bumped into me a second time and I managed to get away and then splat them
thanks it woth a lot knowing this
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bomb defense up dx? i have no words.
Lol I got triple bomb defense subs with one soda and it also had a main of it but then again it doesn't really help as much as like swim or run speed up, or even drop roller.
Do you have any tips for stacking abilities on gear? Currently I try to find gear that doesn’t have a low chance and try to save up to 100000 before using tickets so I can scrub them if they mess up

Now let's combine Splatoon 2 with dedicated servers!
I actually have a pure of this and I use it all the time...
Wonder if it increases brella durabilities...
What is the best way to get a team to play with
A little off topic, but do you think running one sub of ink recovery is worth it? I’m trying to make the perfect gear set for me and this video helped a lot, but I need more help ^^’
Umm not too sure, but there is always lag between firing and subs and getting to recharge ink soo idk
i have 6 tickets for the bomb defense ability but after watching this i might have no tickets left
is it bad to say i have hat with nearly a pure of bomb def dx
Honestly, Bomb Defense DX should be used along with Ink Resistance, just to give you that slightly better chance to survive a fight. I pair Thermal Ink with Ink Res and Bomb Def DX when I use Splatlings, except minis, Hydras, Ballpoints, and Nautilus, and with Bloblobber, if I want to play stubbornly.
Not too many good uses that I can think of beyond that... Maybe in future titles, they'll buff the bomb def a bit more to make it more versatile, rather than take an extra burst bomb to the face.
I feel like I saw Vasko in inkopolas square...
This was helpfull for me!
I always leave a sub on the last slot of my shoes
Wait why did cold blooded and bomb defense get combined?
I really want to know what cold blooded ability does since I don’t have it in my game
Cold blooded is an old ability that's decreases the time you are tracked by a point sensor or something (It got changed it Bomb defense up DX)
I call this ability “Sub Destroyer”
Does the ability work on Tenta Missile explosions?
Yes the effect of tenta missiles is the same as inkjet. So with 1 sub you can survive 2 near hits from a missle
I love bomb dx and I have it on most of my gear
I have two subs of this on my Annaki Mask.(I wear this most of the time.)
Vasko!! I was in your private battle!
Umm but I didn't do any PBs today...
Vasko Games 2 days ago
Vasko Games I was Art3mis
I tried so hard to get a pure shoe gear of Bomb defense, but i never use it
Bomber DX! It's not to bad wish we had bomb sniff that safe my save on tower control
subscribed... last year x)
i have 2 pure sets of this ability. i wear it when i meme or i just want to use it. bomb defense dx is the best ability, and cold blooded shall be missed owo
I didn't even know that was an ability tbh
I think that it is underraded
Do ink resistance next please.
When that ability came to be I got a stack without even having to do much i use it from time to time
Dx is XD Backwards
Is it just my switch or does the shoal literally never work? 😡
I love bomb defense up
Will you be doing 1v1 again if yes good luck
Yes u real gud you tuber
One sub's p much all you need, but even then it's kinda "do i really need it?"
Done a lot of meme kits without bomb defense DX, done some ranked without it, and...
yeah it's pretty meh in the longrun
I Have Never Used Bomb Defense XDDDDDDDDDDDD
i always run 1 sub, but 2 subs makes it so an indirect hit from a fizzy bomb is a 4 hit ko.
Yeah I wear 1 main 3 subs on a pure gear and that's it.
I have no idea
Blu Lucrio me either
"Then you go all *_DX*_"
I. I did not know the stingray could track u
I think this ability is OK. Its not bad in some situations but... I'd rather stack another ability likes sub power up or sub saver or whatever its called.
Wait..hold on. This ability has the defense up Symbol.. Oh my god..
*It's still here... Let the new-ish Meta begin again, boys..*
well they added main power up so
you know
@@mattstat716 True that! Lol. Yet again, defense up VS. Damage up.
(For some weapons at least)
So this is Defense Up from Splatoon 1 but worse?
I have a life jacket that is S T A C K E D with the ability
I wear haunt on the octoling neo armor
I have a entire set just of this...
FUCK POINT SENSOR
bro, just put on Flak jacket or Lightweight to run from grenades
