CLIMBING FROM C- TO S+ WITH THE WORST WEAPON IN SPLATOON 3

10:13 Volume warning for headphone wearers. I died. I'm writing this from the afterlife.

This really proves that it's less about the weapons and more about the player and their skill with positioning, coordination, etc...

As a B+ Undercover main, be prepared for a lot of disconnects from your team. Edit: And sometimes from the other team when they realize they're losing to a brella lol

those japanese players aren't smurfs, they are just better than other people for some bizarre reason

Tip as an undercover brella main is to utilize your inkmines for bonus damage as they deal 45 dmg plus 40 it usually will guarantee you a free kill when used properly

Seeing clams get passed in C rank is cursed, people dont even do that in A rank lmao.

As someone who mains Undercover in S3 and plays it on X-Rank purely out of spite, it is interesting to see the lower ranks and someone unfamiliar with the weapon. I'm more fascinated with the fact that you're running a more aggressive set with both Ninja perks. Undercover feels very muddy in its usage. It is a frontline, but how does it function exactly? Definitely smart move to omit Special Charge Up, since... you know. (Honestly a miracle that Dark Tetras is a high-tier weapon.) Since higher ranks will be more merciless, Quick Respawn as a main slot is a good idea, since it can EASILY get bum-rushed. Run Speed Up also helps for more effective positioning, since the perk applies to strafing speed. The problem is that it need a LOT to make it work. Comeback is even recommended for it, due to its frail nature, often in tandem with Quick Respawn. It doesn't help that the devs seem to have both a strong bias for the Shooter class and against the Brellas, for no reason. So unless they actually make them viable in some way, they're pretty much relegated to obscurity. Ironic, because the current meta is all about HP Specials, especially Crab Tank. On the bright side, it is funny to see genuine low-rank players fumble against the main weapon and special.

Something I like to do with any weapon that uses Ink mines, Undercover especially, is to place them on an enemy super jump spot to ensure their fate is sealed/ make the kill time faster so I can move on.

I think the teams being overly good is more the result of people who took a break after last season starting to play again, it makes c-rank a little bit more then some newbies

i was a undercover brella main in splatoon 2 for a while, i plan to get it to 5 stars in 3. you offend me greatly. really good video i enjoyed your insight on the actual gameplay also personally i always played as a support with this weapon because of the ink mines and low dps. if you can make good ink mine placement it increases the dps a TON, not good enough to play aggressive, but still REALLY good for support in general. the ink mines are like the most important part of this weapon to be honest. i feel like it needs a different special though, reefslider doesnt really synergize well. (that could be a skill issue on me tho)

Excited for this series cause I also wanna learn the undercover brella just for shits n gigs. Subbed n will be following you on this journey :’)

Cool idea, excited to watch the rest of the series

i love how even though i clicked on this for the challenge i was still taught a lot about ranked battles (dying A-rank stamper main here TT) ty so much for the extra little lessons! <3

11:13 bruh 😂😂

I love that you make this journey an educational thing!

as someone who plays SUPER casually and struggles with battles i find your advice for ranked really useful. thank you!!

I understand why people say undercover brella sucks but honestly it's really fun to play with

5:41 Look ma, there I am! yeah ngl i remember this battle and it did not feel like I was up against other C players. I don't usually play ranked since, as my tag indicates, I'm more of a Salmon Run kind of guy, but that was a pretty thorough thrashing I don't typically see. gg though, interested to see the rest of the challenge

8:50 Even though it does look like the shield blocked the power clam, it appears to be that the enemy team threw the ball at the side of the uninkable blocks. The ink explosion where the ball made contact was a ways away from your shield, and due to the reflective trajectory of the ball when it hits a wall, it looks to be like it hit the wall and not the shield. Just thought I'd point that out. Aside from that, great job on the video!

Those guys in c werent smurfs, you say that a lot of people are smurfs that aren't lol. A lot of people play a lot of turf before rank, and with more ppl watch splatoon videos, that also gives them an adavantage. Splashomatic is also a weapon with medium range perfect accuracy high fire rate and medium damage. Part of the reason japanese players are better sometimes cuz like wifi, but overall nothing different about them unless you are in ultra high x rank
