Competitive:Dread Wringer

Unofficial

Use
The Dread Wringer is a middleweight weapon which can splat enemies somewhat inconsistently, with three blobs of ink needs to splat players, and sloshing twice every shot.
 * It can be great in areas with lots of turf painted in its own color, as that can help with its bad mobility.
 * Its special, the Reefslider, can be used to chase down weakened opponents, and the 70 damage from the explosion can combine with its 42/48 damage to create a fatal attack.

Synergy

 * The Dread Wringer isn't great at painting, yet needs space to move around in to maximize its ability to keep enemies out.
 * So, good painting weapons like the Jet Squelcher can painting the stage for the Dread Wringer.

Countermeasures

 * The Dread Wringer, while strong, fires slow, making it vulnerable to be shot down by slayers, such as the Splattershot.
 * This slosher is rather slow, so Anchors such as the E-liter 4K can splat it from a distance without the Dread Wringer user swimming away too quickly.
 * If it ever tries to unleash its Reefslider, its opponents can rush it down after the explosion, as it could be way too vulnerable to defend itself.

Gear abilities
Gear abilities provide different effects in battle that benefit the player with their equipped weapon. This is a guide to gear abilities in relation to the weapon. Strategy, synergy, viability, and purpose may be written here.

Ink Saver (Main) is a great ability that can help the player attack enemies more, especially when it does not have any space to breathe. Ink Recovery Up is a useful ability that can be used alongside with Ink Saver (Main), as it helps the Wringer recover its ink faster during the weapon's downtime. As mentioned before, the Dread Wringer is a slow weapon, so abilities like Swim Speed Up would help it fight or flee in battle.
