The Hydra Splatling is a Main Splatling weapon in Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3, so called because of its three barrels, like a three headed dragon called a hydra, as well as its fire-hydrant build that became more evident in Splatoon 3. It has a long charge time, but a long fire time (enough to kill multiple players) and long range (enough to match chargers).
In Splatoon 3, its range becomes shorter but charge speed becomes quicker.
Tips and Tricks[]
- The Hydra Splatling has the 4th best range in the game (after the E-liter 3K, E-liter 3K Scope, and Splatterscope.) Use the weapon's range to splat Shooters and Rollers from a distance.
- Since it has long range and is somewhat mobile, it can be used to take down enemy Chargers.
- It can be used similarly to a Charger. It has a longer firing time (easier to hit moving or multiple targets) and doesn't show a laser, meaning that opponents won't know if they're being targeted. However, it takes longer to fully charge, leaving the vulnerable for long period of time.
- Like a Charger, the biggest threats are Shooters, Rollers and Sloshers. Watch the map and be aware of them.
- The normal Hydra Splatling is suited to be used very aggressively with Autobombs for scoping out enemy opponents and pressuring mid, for opponents who get too close to you, panic Splashdown to get rid of them. This is a more offensive kit for the hydra.
- The Custom Variation is better suited for fighting defense. Ink Mines help you stop flanks, and Ink Armor is great for team rushes or to protect teammates while moving into enemy territory.
- The Hydra Splatling has slightly more range than the Splatterscope in Splatoon 2.
