Keep in mind, this is mostly in a competitive standpoint. I wanna make it clear that I am HYPED for this kit and you should be too! DO NOT let this video lower hype, this reeflux kit is going to a ton of fun regardless of its overal strength in the game. Enjoy what we can get, atleast we got a kit this season 😂 I’m so sorry chargers lol Edit: nvm snipewriter got a kit lol chargers W
They probably did splash wall to give the option of a different playstyle, rather than follow the same mobile playstyle of its first kit

Man this sucks. I was hoping for burst bomb, splat bomb or angle shooter as the sub. Honestly after hearing you explain how bad splash wall doesn’t synergise with reef I feel like ANY OTHER SUB would be better. I’ve been waiting for a new reeflux kit for soo long and this news killed my excitement 😟 hopefully the special makes up for it somehow… Give the weapon cooler please Nintendo!!!

At first, I used to think the splash wall would give more leeway on charging shots and apply more pressure that way but now I more clearly see that it's just not good. Depending on the special I may still try it though

*Me and my friend talking about reeflux’s second kit several months ago* Me: burst or torp will be SO GOOD on this weapon but splatbomb or fizzy also works decently Friend: what if they give it a wall like other midrange weapons like 96 or squeezer Me: omg don’t say it it’s horrible even to think AND THE DAY COMES

Fellow Reef-Lux main here. You basically explained my thoughts but better about splash wall. Only sub I think would be more useless is sprinkler... what this weapon needs is a combo tool (burst, splat bomb, torpedo, suction bomb, maybe fizzy but that's just a superior curling bomb, hell even a line marker would work.) Like another comment pointed out they probably just wanted to give this weapon a different playstyle, but reef lux ≠ squiffer/bamboozler where it gets most of its kills from afar but is more of a rough split between maximum charge and 1/2-3/4 charge kills. As much as I dislike missiles as a special, I think I'm still gonna be stuck with the 450 variant no matter what special this new kit gets. Oh and when you were showing ways reef-lux can move around the map you can also point down about 35-45 degrees and tap shot with a horizontal shot and can swim through that. Curling's better but it helps when you're low on ink and on the run. Hope that helps!

You're excited to announce to your enemies you're coming in, move out of the way and shoot you dead after you've stopped moving? Atleast if it got Triple Splashdown you'd get some kills with it. As someone who also enjoys Dapples as a main, but would've wanted something other than beacon for a sub. Let me tell you. Reefslider is not the thing.

@@Nikzzza What I was excited about was to not have to wait for my special cooldown anymore. Regardless, I still consider Reefslider better than Tenta Missiles. Yes, you are vulnerable after the special ends, but the same is true about Crab Tank and Kraken Royale. Unlike those two, however, the Reefslider creates an explosion-and any enemies you catch in the explosion are splatted instantly. Plus, the Reefslider can penetrate EVERYTHING: Big Bubbler, Ink Vack, sometimes even Booyah Bomb, if used correctly, and best of all: Splattercolor Screen. The Reefslider is my second favorite special, second only to the Booyah Bomb.

For how bad splash wall may be for an extremely mobile playstyle, if you use it correctly, it allows the reeflux to be unkillable for a short period of time. Wall allows you to alternate your vulnerable angles by swimming through it without reducing your possible attack angles. Combine this with a weapon that paints well and is extremely mobile and you have a weapon that can fight without being touched. In addition, this would allow the weapon to bunker down for a second and threaten a one shot while being safe. It is a more defensive playstyle, but one that will no doubt work. I am willing to bet it gets the new special, filling a support role that is safe from snipers while being threatening to mid range weapons.

I think the reason why they gave it wall is bcs, as a user of reeflux myself, it kind of have an inconsistent kill time when ur fighting something like a shooter, so the wall is for fighting, not for painting, i find it a bit harder to fight shooters with reeflux, it doesnt have the range to outrage them comfortably, but also not consistant enough kill time to always kill them up close, yeah it does one shot, but if u miss it then its slows down the kill time a lot

My guess is they thought it would allow for the weapon to take more advantageous spots while going for one shots. Besides, maybe it could play to both sides of the wall like switching back and forth?

If you go through the wall onto the same side as the enemy, the enemy will just throw a bomb at your wall, which will explode the bomb instantly and you die, because you're on the side of the wall that just blocked the bomb thus exploded it.

That would definitely be a welcome change in general, but it doesn't really help with splash wall. Your paint output would still be low from afar and you still wouldn't be that big of a threat to enemies. The problem with splash wall and why it doesn't work with reef-lux is that they essentially share no synergy with each other. A splash wall is stationary sub and reef-lux moves around A LOT, reef-lux cannot consistently kill enough with fully charged shots, and splash wall encourages aggressive play, which while great, doesn't work with reef lux as it desperately needs a combo tool in order to play aggressively and pushing in with a reef-lux without a teammate is like going into enemy base with an eliter.
