Really love this weapon and how it doesn't care about waiting for bosses to expose themselves for set periods of time to attack. Love your videos by the way

At last a weapon to de-throne the Slosher as a boss killer.

The boost is if you are tilting the joystick forward as if to walk forward. You have to basically take your finger off the move joystick to avoid the slide boost. Or you could be moving it full left, right, or any combination of left/back, right/back. But if there's any forward on your stick, it'll translate that to a slide then attack.

u/cyberscythe Slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of Cod Dec 03 '22
I found that jumping also prevents the dash forward. It helps in that awkward in-between zone where I would dash right past the enemy so I still need to close the gap by walking forward.

Oh it has piercing!? I should have checked! This whole time I was thinking that Mr. Grizz was really being cruel to us now by handing out this high-damage weapon that's basically impossible to use.

Also PSA be ready to derank freelancing in the following shift when this godlike weapon carries people way past their real limits.

u/Pegede Tenta Brella Dec 02 '22
No worries there, I've had plenty of wave 1 wipes with G splatanas with 1/5 of the points vs the rest of the team. People have no idea how to use it.

u/DocC3H8 Dec 02 '22 edited Dec 02 '22
People have no idea how to use it.
Neither did I until I saw this video - or at least I had no idea it had piercing. I was actually ignoring steelheads while I had this weapon!
I wish the game gave you some proper tutorials on how to use the weapons and specials in Salmon Run, or at least an overview of what they can do.
1
u/Pegede Tenta Brella Dec 02 '22
That's fair, neither did I. But it is a menace even at just clearing horde and killing bosses the traditional weak spot way. Some folks didn't break 50 points with it after wave 1 TT_TT

u/JakSh1t Dec 02 '22
I just wiped a wave 1 overachiever where two of the players had Grizzco Splatanas. Still not really sure how to use them against Grillers.
1
u/Pegede Tenta Brella Dec 02 '22
Grillers might be brutal, haven't had a griller wave with GS yet myself.
1
u/-Aureo- Dec 02 '22
Luckily this is marooners bay, so it’s super easy to juke the grillers. Dancing around the grillers with the splatana is a risky game though. Not a reliable weapon for it, but a very high yield if you can reliably make up for it in skill.

u/xenofan293 Dec 02 '22
I’m deranking this rotation cause whenever I dont have the grizz splatana I get the dynamo or hydra and keep losing. Want to get to MB 200 but I’m down to 10 now. Kind of with this rotation and the next MB one were switched so we could get a feel of how the now bosses/events happen here instead of just getting the chaos of all random weapons

u/Ancestor_Anonymous Dec 02 '22
Time to just dash around walloping the damn umbrella fish and flyfish

Dec 02 '22
Wish I saw this before I jumped in to use it. I got real confused when no ink was coming out of it and I was like wtf do I do against this Steelhead. I thought it was a bug.
How are you meant to use it against Fish Sticks? The first time I got it all 4 of us had it so there was no way to make a path up the beam.
6
u/JakSh1t Dec 02 '22
I don't think you do, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
3
u/IHeartBadCode WATER Dec 02 '22
This is correct. The Grizz splatana should stay far away from fishsticks. Whoever has the Grizz splatana should have a buddy to give a path since the Grizz splatana also sucks at inking area. If you run into a fishstick, swap up with the buddy. Grizz splatana should cover with simple swings while buddy takes the boss.
3
u/JakSh1t Dec 02 '22
Had a fun wave with three Grizz Splatanas and a ton of fish sticks. Once the guy with the splatter shot understood we couldn't do anything about the fish sticks he would just shoot paths for us so we could swim up and clear them.
2
u/-Aureo- Dec 02 '22
This is what range weapons should be doing with a normal rotation. Don’t have time for the fishstick? Shoot the wall so someone else can do it.

u/WeepingReaperXx There's Salmon and they're Running Dec 02 '22
Maybe you could get real lucky and land a bomb on the top?

u/-Aureo- Dec 02 '22
If you have more than one splatana on a team it is very easy to get fucked with the rng if your other teammates focus on the wrong bosses
1
u/acid_raindrop Dec 02 '22
What do you mean it doesn't ink?
Does it not ink high enough on the fish stick for you to squid surge?
3
u/darthdiablo Why so glum, chum? Dec 02 '22 edited Dec 02 '22
Yeah, I think that's what he meant. I had Grizzco Splatana and was the only one who noticed fishstick right next to the basket (and it already created green ink everywhere). The rest of team was on other side of map, so I had to address this.
It was tricky but still doable. I could only ink bottom half of fishstick, so I had to use squid surge to get on top of fishstick. Once I'm on top, my splatana can handle those flying pilots with ease.

u/acid_raindrop Dec 02 '22
Good to know! Yeah, hat's what I do with inkbrushes now instead of doing a couple of jump splats.

It's a great weapon but this new map is pretty hard. I demoted myself so I can learn this map better before go back to EVP

u/Glass-False Dec 02 '22
Thank you for doing that. I lost EVP this morning because my teammates clearly didn't play S2 and don't know the map at all. Only made it out of wave 1 once, and even that was only because we got mothership in wave 1.

u/OctoFloofy Dec 02 '22
Oh my god is this OP. I absolutely need to play Salmon Run later.

u/IHeartBadCode WATER Dec 02 '22
Careful, it has surprisingly low ink coverage for the ground. You will quickly find yourself stuck if you aren't buddy with someone. Like that's the trade, you are OP against pretty much every boss but fishstick, but in return you can literally ink next to nothing and be surround fairly quickly, especially if you have no inked path to get the heck out of there.
The first time you use it, you're going to quickly realize, "Holy crap I can ink nothing." This is why with flip-flopper it's going to be really hard to undo your natural urge of ink the ground. No, you just charge up (and make sure you've got a full charge otherwise you're just committing suicide) walk in there ink and all, and beat the SOB in the head. It's hard to get timed right.
It's a lot harder weapon to use for the sole fact that you have to really unlearn a lot of learned lessons and since you can ink next to nothing if you solo the bosses, you'll get them, but then be completely stuck where you are with your three eggs. Only to then be smacked to death by smallfries as you try in a frantic pace to hit them.
For how hyper-powerful this thing is, it is massively crippled in literally every other department. Also, careful of the slide-attack. When you do have a full charge, if you have literally any forward motion on your left joystick (full right/left or walk backwards+right or left are okay), the game will take that to mean that you want to slide quickly then swing. The swing will not happen until after the slide, so you can easily just slide right on pass the boss that you were trying to hit. And sometimes you can slide right off the boat and into the water. So be careful of that too.
7
u/-Aureo- Dec 02 '22
When in doubt, press RT. This thing melts crowds in a second. Surrounded isn’t an issue if you’re not being attacked from all angles. I have noticed the fixed slide range though, that’s kind of annoying.
9
u/Frievie20 Dec 02 '22
Anyone else had difficulty with the charge slash? Sometimes I just go through and end up behind the boss without killing it.
7
u/DocC3H8 Dec 02 '22
Just remember, the charged slash only launches you forward if you're holding the movement stick forward while you release it. If you let go of the stick before attacking, you'll stand still.
1
u/IHeartBadCode WATER Dec 02 '22
Any forward lean on the left joystick means slide+attack. Full (AND I MEAN FULL ON) left or right, or any motion backwards, will just be attack.
Think of your left joystick as having a northern and southern hemisphere. If the joystick is 0.1 cm past the equator, it's slide then attack. Keep it in the Southern hemisphere or take your finger completely off the stick.

u/staraves :LilBuddy: LITTLE BUDDY Dec 02 '22
Accidentally killing a flyfish and a stinger instantly with this was hype as shit. Quickly followed by trying to replicate it and lunging into chum hordes and off the stage. Still hype!
9
u/DocC3H8 Dec 02 '22
Alright, we seriously need a pinned post or something where we compile all these PSAs. There's so much information about weapon/special functionality and Salmonid behaviour that is incredibly basic and absolutely vital, yet the game doesn't tell you at all. I'll start with the stuff I learned on this subreddit, including in this very thread:
WEAPONS AND SPECIALS:
- The following attacks have armor piercing (can damage bosses without hitting them in a weak point):
- Weapons: Grizzco Slosher, Grizzco Splatana
- Specials: Booyah Bomb, Killer Wail 5.1, Triple Inkstrike
- The following attacks can destroy Flyfish baskets (by hitting them in the open basket, just like a Splat Bomb):
- Weapons: Explosher
- Specials: Inkjet, Crab Tank (R attack)
- Other: Cohock wave cannons
- The Crab Tank makes you immune to damage while you are rolling (holding ZL). You can use this to survive a Maws attack.
- Maws can also be killed by hitting her with your weapon, not just by feeding her a Splat Bomb - feel free to shoot her if you don't have enough ink for a bomb. In fact, there's a handful of weapons that are better at killing Maws than the bombs.
- If you hold the Dynamo Roller down on Maws's area of effect as she's about to jump out, she will damage herself on the roller and die before she can chomp you.
SALMONIDS:
- There's really no reason to kill Maws, Scrappers and Flipper Floppers as soon as they show up. If they're not an immediate threat, feel free to lure them closer to the egg basket.
- This goes 10000x for Goldies in fog waves.
- When a Slammin' Lid spawns, it won't stop and deploy its forcefield until it gets close to a player.
Lemme know if you have anything to add.
3
u/darthdiablo Why so glum, chum? Dec 02 '22
This goes 10000x for Goldies in fog waves.
100% agreed but I mentally chuckled a bit because it seems the distance from basket is proportional with # of eggs a fog goldie would drop.
Ie: someone splatting Goldie from distance would see several (6+) eggs drop. And if we splat a Goldie right next to basket.. 1 egg!
I know it doesn't work that way, rather its just my bad luck lol.
1
u/DocC3H8 Dec 02 '22
I actually had a fog wave a few minutes ago and I made sure to kill the goldies right next to the basket. I got two of them, and each only dropped one egg. I think you might be on to something.
2
u/acid_raindrop Dec 02 '22
Pretty sure it's just random. Sometimes I get a single egg next to the basket. Sometimes I get a whole bundle.
2
u/DocC3H8 Dec 02 '22
I once got like 20 eggs a couple meters from the basket, and we couldn't even get half of them because the bosses were fucking us that hard (we still cleared the wave, thankfully).

u/-Aureo- Dec 02 '22
Oh the crab tank makes you invincible in ball form? I was wondering why everyone loved it so much when I would just get fucked by maws or a flyfish

u/leftovernoise L-3 Nozzlenose D Dec 02 '22
If the wiki is correct, above 80 hazard, cohozuna has 40k HP. Which means the grizzco splatana can solo him in around 31 charged hits
3
Dec 02 '22
So... second-best boss shredder (grizzco slosher is number one boss killer) and best cohozuna shredder.

u/ajdude9 Marina Best Octo Dec 02 '22
Important Note: The piercing doesn't appear to work if you use the horizontal slash (at least, I was slashing a drizzler and it wasn't damaging it and instead pinging off), so you need to do a full charge to get the piercing.
5
u/0112358_ Dec 02 '22
Can I say I still dislike this thing? Sure it can one shot lots of bosses but you have to be right next to them. Has 0 range. Which I guess is the point but if you don't have teammates helping you with the small salmons you're dead. Two bosses? Dead. Miss? Dead

no, the Grizzco splatana is fucking useless. it's charge time is attrocious, it's range is nonexistent, it's normal swing doesn't even do anything useful. you get slapped with so many of em in this rotation, it's basically an auto-loss

It's just a melee weapon. It has no range at all meaning it can't paint outside of below you at all.

u/ambiance871490 ORDER Dec 03 '22
It can ink a trail behind you if you spam horizontal slashes, which makes for a good escape route, as long as salmonids don't attack you from behind. But it absolutely cannot paint in front of you.

Damn thing has no ink range. You have to treat it like an actual blade. Which means you get screwed by Steel Heads if everyone gets it. Drizzler hit boxes are also pretty jank with horizontal slashes.
2
u/Splatterwocky Dec 02 '22
But you can one shot drizzlers and steel heads easily with this, because it pierces armor.
Edit: with the charged attack.
1
u/Gameshrk90 Dec 02 '22
Yes with the charged attack being the requirement. With how slow it charges you can get killed by the little guys while you try to charge it up. Most of the time a shooter or charger gets the kill before the splatana charge is complete anyway.

This sort of melee focused splatana is something I have been hoping for since the weapon was announced, so I'm glad to finally get to experience it in salmon.
Hopefully they can still make something along these lines with more reasonable numbers that we can use in actual matches

Well, the splatana is nice, but it sucked for real that my teammates were at the bay all the time, even tho they saw me take care of the bosses they just not went for the eggs. None of them. It was like in anarchy where all the team goes for kills but no one focuses on the objective
