The REEF-LUX 450 is both a support and slayer-type weapon, part of the [[Stringer]] class. Similar to the [[Tri-Stringer]], this weapon launches a trio of ink bullets that can immediately splat enemies if charged long enough. Dissimilarly, this weapon charges faster, can hold a full charge in swim form, but cannot fire exploding projectiles. | |||
*The REEF-LUX 450 is a support weapon because: | |||
**Its fast fire rate and excellent turfing ability allows it to provide map control for teammates. | |||
**Its diffusion of bullets can chip away at enemies so teammates can easily splat them. | |||
*The REEF-LUX is a slayer weapon because: | |||
**It can charge its fatal ink bullets almost instantly. | |||
**Its charge speed in the air also matches its charge speed on the ground, similar to the [[Squiffer]]. This allows the weapon to jump repeatedly to avoid enemy fire without a charge speed penalty. | |||
**It can hold its charge, allowing it to quickly move around into better positions. | |||
The REEF-LUX has three different options of fire that best suit different situations. | |||

*Try quickly aiming at enemies before using the Reefslider. The rails paint a path which can hinder enemies' movement, decreasing their odds of avoiding the lethal explosion. | |||
*The painting radius of the Reefslider also makes it very useful for taking the [[Splat Zone]] quickly. | |||
**Keep in mind that the Reefslider is very vulnerable after exploding, so any mistake can end up fatal. Generally only use the Reefslider when you are sure it will succeed. | |||
===Synergy=== | |||
*As a slayer, this weapon does well with backup from frontline slayers and/or supporting fire from other support weapons, as this weapon is not as independent as others. | |||
*In [[Tacticooler]] comps, the REEF-LUX does well. Tacticooler's effects increase the mobility of the REEF-LUX further. It especially helps with the Reefslider special, which can easily be punished. The Tacticooler's [[Quick Respawn]] effects can help the REEF-LUX recover quickly. | |||
*The REEF-LUX also has great painting capabilities, so pairing it with weapons that can't paint as well, such as the [[Custom Range Blaster]], can provide aid to non-painting weapons so they can move freely without having to worry about turf control. | |||

*The REEF-LUX takes time to charge its bullets, so weapons that can rush it down before it can charge them-such as the [[Splattershot]]-can take care of REEF-LUX users with some ease. | |||
*The REEF-LUX's bullets have slight diffusion, so weapons with high mobility that can avoid its one-shot such as the [[Heavy Edit Splatling]] can avoid getting splatted. | |||

Use
The REEF-LUX 450 is both a support and slayer-type weapon, part of the Stringer class. Similar to the Tri-Stringer, this weapon launches a trio of ink bullets that can immediately splat enemies if charged long enough. Dissimilarly, this weapon charges faster, can hold a full charge in swim form, but cannot fire exploding projectiles.

- Throwing a Splash Wall against a corner can protect you completely from enemy fire, which can protect a super jump into a safer position.
Reefslider also has a variety of uses.

Synergy
- As a slayer, this weapon does well with backup from frontline slayers and/or supporting fire from other support weapons, as this weapon is not as independent as others.
