S Tier Special Weapons in Splatoon 3
- Trizooka: It shoots 3 giant blobs of ink in one shot. When traveling in an arc, the shots leave a trail rather than painting the area. The weapon will revert to its main weapon after being used three times. Here are some weapons that have Trizooka & that you should use:
- Splattershot
- Hero Shot Replica
- Squeezer
- Tenta Missiles: This is a great special, if you love weapons that home onto their targets. Whether you want to target one opponent or all your opponents, you can do so with this tool. When you lock onto a single target all the missiles attack them. In the case of multiple enemies, the number of missiles attacking them reduces based on the number of enemies you target. These are all the weapons that have Tenta Missiles as their special.
- Flingza Roller
- Goo Tuber
- Reef-Lux 450
- Triple Inkstrike: Triple Inkstrike launches three missiles in the air. The missiles need to be targeted at three beacons as a source of targets. These beacons act as markers for the missiles and can be stuck on walls and lands alike. The missile will create an ink tornado at every beacon it strikes. This tornado is capable of splatting opponents and inking the ground. Triple Inkstrike is a special weapon on the following weapons:
- Slosher
- Rapid Blaster
- Splat Brella
