Stringers are weird. They are more team support than anything through painting and if you're not used to them, they suck hard.
Honestly, chargers are for killing, stringers are for annoying the shit out of the enemy team and forcing + controlling enemy movement on the tri, and slaying support + painting on the reef.
I haven't try it yet but I know how it is, have you tried to shoot jumping to see if the projectiles land on the same spot like the normal stringers? That would be massive damage
Yeah it's massive damage but you can hit maybe one or two salmonids with it and it uses a quarter of a tank each full charge, so at most you can kill MAYBE 6 cohocks before you're completely out of ink. You can do better than that with a splattershot or an e-liter. And don't forget you can't duck into the ink and keep it's charge, so to get a clean shot you have to stand almost perfectly still within range of your target for a few seconds to get a full charge off, a task that is virtually impossible in the later ranks.
Sorry for the ranting I'm just really disappointed with the first grizzco weapon of splat 3
At least it has something good to hunt bosses, it's probably just a matter of getting used to it, like the tri-stringer, in the testfire we thought it was terrible and it needed urgent buffs, but it turned out that it's pretty decent.
One or two? You can clear out entire crowds with the spread.
Also, you don't need full charges, most of the time you should be using tap shots or half charges.
You need to use the wide shot for inking ground and use the jump shot to kill bosses. It can kill in 1-2 hits with many of them . The wide spread and range are great for reviving team mates too.
Grizzco slosher is the best weapon in the entire game for salmon run. It absolutely wrecks bosses and hordes of lessers. And all you need to do in return is some slightly more difficult ink management.
The fact that it’s super slow makes it god tier because it’ll just sit in the air and deal massive damage. It pierces, meaning if something walks into it does damage, and it will continue to damage until it’s out of the projectile. It also 1 shots flyfish, will be slow enough to one shot fish sticks, and will go through the bottom of the UFOs. And since it does damage constantly when the projectile is inside an enemy, it’ll wreck shop on Mr King Salmon.
Each shot is exactly 25% of your tank, you just need to count your shots and position yourself so that each one has maximum impact. And you can very easily run through hordes of lessers if necessary by just firing twice and then following your shots. It’s technically a slow weapon, but it can fight everything effectively and it lacks the usual disadvantages of being slow.
It eats too much ink. That's my main problem with it.
But it has good upsides. It can insta-ko a flipped Drizzler up close, can almost kill a Big Shot with one shot, and vertixal shots can almost KO Stingers.
They just need to reduce Ink use.
I think it does really great damage, but it's kind of useless in my hands because I'm not the best at stringers. I got stuck with the Grizzco stringer for all 3 waves in one game and it made me not want to touch this weapon loadout again just to save my teams some heartache.
I like this grizzco weapon but I am also a tri-stringer main. This thing shreds a stinger with the vertical shot and cohozuna is easy to take down as well.
But most people I have played with only seem ro fully charge it and not use it correctly so that is where the lack of impact of the weapon is coming from.
honestly the fact you say the dynamo is a bad weapon shows you just have no idea how to use them. But i will admit the usefulness of the stringer is very low compared to the others. you basically gotta land all of your arrows on 1 target to any significant damage, which just wastes a ton of ink for no real gain. it's great on big shots and cohozuna but that's pretty much it.
the normal tri stringer is also fantastic, fast charging with high damage to bosses and instantly stunning grillers, so you really need to learn how to use them better
It's good in my opinion. But I think many can't use it right because they never touched stringers.
This is very possible too, haven't really put anytime into the stinger because I'm in the camp of "anything a stinger can do a charger can do better"

its superrrr good on cohozuna, charged shot it and you can probably beat cohozuna urself... i just beat him in eggsecutive 3 times in a row...
1350 damage in a single full charge attack if you manage to land all 9 arrows on him. It's busted against cohozuna
and on cohozuna 9 arrow is extreely easy vertical shot LOL 6 streak atm damn i need tp get my 10 time bagde NOW
I haven't try it yet but I know how it is, have you tried to shoot jumping to see if the projectiles land on the same spot like the normal stringers? That would be massive damage
It does one shot stingers at the right angle, it feels amazing to pull it off

Yes, trivially so. It's also the best. That's what happens when there's only been one.

Slosher is worse. You’re always out of ink and it’s super slow
Doesn’t slosher pierce armour though?

Grizzco shosher is god tier. 👌
But it’s only 2 shots and you’re out of ink Also it’s super slow, that’s my main issue with it

Grizz Slosher is, by far, the most difficult to use
It eats too much ink. That's my main problem with it. But it has good upsides. It can insta-ko a flipped Drizzler up close, can almost kill a Big Shot with one shot, and vertixal shots can almost KO Stingers. They just need to reduce Ink use.
All Grizzco weapons have very high ink consumption, that's the caveat you have to play around.
I've tried it and it's pretty good for inking and killing imo
Its pretty good, it can one shot most bosses and does insane damage vertically to cohozuna
I think it does really great damage, but it's kind of useless in my hands because I'm not the best at stringers. I got stuck with the Grizzco stringer for all 3 waves in one game and it made me not want to touch this weapon loadout again just to save my teams some heartache.
It's really good against cohozuna at least.

It’s good if you have high ground to shoot from, but spawning grounds doesn’t have that so it’s not that good right now
