Competitive:Big Bubbler

Unofficial

Splatoon 3
The Big Bubbler is an aggressive/supportive hybrid deployable special weapon that provides its user and their teammates protection while denying their opponents the space around it. As the first available special weapon to the player in, it follows the tradition set by Bubbler and Ink Armor in and  respectively of providing a Splattershot Jr. user a strong protective supportive tool.

Use
If placed carefully, the Big Bubbler can protect you and your team by blocking incoming attacks:
 * It produces a spherical barrier that blocks all of your opponents' attacks until its own health is depleted:
 * However, the Big Bubbler is not a spherical Splash Wall. It will not prevent opponents from physically crossing its barrier, so be certain that no opponents are sharking nearby or flanking your blind side.
 * It cannot be activated beneath low ceilings or while its user is not on solid ground.
 * The less accessible a location is for an opponent to travel, the more difficult it will be for them to directly assault, especially with a Big Bubbler planted on it.
 * While the barrier has a minimum 2400 HP, its generator at the top has only 1200 HP, meaning that opposing attacks directed to the generator will effectively inflict twice the damage of those aimed at the barrier.
 * Be mindful of any ceilings above where you intend to activate Big Bubbler, as the device that rises out of Big Bubbler once activated can hit a ceiling and prevent the barrier from reaching full size.
 * Deploying the Big Bubbler on or near the objective can help your team better secure it:
 * A Big Bubbler planted on or in front of a Splat Zone can prevent opponents from turfing over it and uncapping it.
 * Even though the Big Bubbler cannot move, it can be placed onto the Tower itself and can move as the Tower moves. However, the barrier will degrade more quickly while on the tower, so it is best to use when when you can get the most out of it, such as while attempting to clear a checkpoint.
 * Of course, a Big Bubbler can be used to stall an opposing push by protecting defenders in key positions. However, the Tower will destroy any Big Bubbler it comes in contact with, so avoid placing one in the path of the Tower.
 * The Big Bubbler also doubles as a Squid Beakon, allowing its user and their teammates to safely Super Jump back to its location.
 * The launcher/Squid Beakon component of the Big Bubbler also doubles as a shield, as standing inside of it will make the user temporarily immune to damage, similar to showering beneath a Splash Wall.
