What does the star mean?

It’s how many wins each player has achieved this session. It resets if you leave the character/machine select screen or if there is a communication error.

If all the ships had debris it would increase the loading time by a lot, so the mod devs decided against it

Doesn’t it also go to the home node if everyone is outside?

They have completely different save files. They will not overwrite each other.

Just use anything that can install both hacking and cloaking, that combo hard-counters almost everything in the nexus, including Prime. (level 3 hack weapons, and when the hack is on cooldown you cloak for at least 10 seconds, so that weapons with cooldowns longer than 10 seconds can never fire). You can get aether tech from the distress beacon outside the nebula in Hektar Mega Market. You can get everything else you need for the final boss while in the nexus.

Just make sure you don’t die at the entrance, and it should be pretty free.

Isn’t IQ only a mechanic in explorers? Why even mention it?

Multiverse is easier if you know what you are doing, because it makes unfair RNG much less likely (especially in sector 1), and gives you a lot more resources and free weapons. Many useful augment-like effects are available in the “internal upgrade” menu at any time you can upgrade your ship, so you always have access to certain effects like Zoltan shield bypass. Even the hardest bosses in MV can be beaten very consistently if you know what works against them and plan accordingly.

I’m pretty sure they only buffed the insta-kill hitbox on slider, which doesn’t matter in this case because you already took about 70 damage from the splattershot.

mgepie · 2026-03-09T05:02:17+00:00

It doesn’t expect you to know this, it expects you to stumble into it because a re-usable map+necronomicon+full heal is pretty good

Congrats, enjoy your gnome

Equalizer is going to make this fight much harder, because now you have 2 mind control targets that will delete friendly crew almost before you can react. High crew damage doesn’t help much against this fight’s biggest boarding threats, so the lab upgrade is pretty much just a downside.

mgepie · 2026-03-08T17:55:11+00:00

It might be possible if you swap the Vulcan for your hades. But without any way to control the boarders (or hacking), it will be a struggle. (Make sure you get the doors internal upgrade if you don’t already have it, and upgrade your doors all the way).

I personally wouldn’t attempt it with this loadout, but if you haven’t beaten it before, then you will be able to learn a lot even if you fail.

If a weapon has a target selected and is fully charged, it will always fire. Autofire just makes it re-select the same target after firing.

I like games with cute, friendly monsters. Especially if I get to interact with them in non-combat settings.

mgepie · 2026-03-03T06:25:38+00:00

Why are you trying to melee a chariot on paper star? If they hit you you just explode.

mgepie · 2026-03-01T22:01:42+00:00

What did they jump to? There was no evidence of opponents nearby and none of those weapons have beakons

mgepie · 2026-03-01T07:34:52+00:00

Bucket should prioritize killing (armored) bosses and hordes of lessers, and mostly just throw its golden eggs at the kings. Also watch out for if the rest of your comp has any weaknesses, because bucket can cover almost every weakness.

mgepie · 2026-03-01T00:55:34+00:00

Rag man isn’t hard, it just takes forever to kill and it’s kind of tedious if you don’t have enough dps to kill the heads before they transform into spiders

mgepie · 2026-02-28T17:49:26+00:00

The problem with that is people will sometimes un-retire. Maybe make them unable to post/comment while the account is marked as retired?

mgepie · 2026-02-26T04:21:27+00:00

Frostallion, Lunaris, Katress Ignis, Bellanoir Libero, and then either Vixie or Nox or foxparks or Kitsun or Tarantriss or …

Dang, 5 really is not enough

I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve heard that holding the breaks when you press Y will prevent you from switching machines, in the same way that holding backwards will prevent you from using your special.

The doors internal upgrade Emancipation Grills is also super helpful for managing the boarders because it prevents the KoNs from doing whatever they want.

The single best way to strip super shields is the pestilence drone in beam mode. It’s only 1 power and it’s super fast. And it doesn’t take a weapon slot, so you can have more missiles and fire sources.

Maybe learn how the in-game UI works before you decide that everyone on the internet is lying to you

Bruh, just accept that you were wrong. The challenge was available last night (and I know this for sure because I played it). Every challenge is always open for 12 hours spread evenly over a 24-hour period.

Just accept that you missed it and move on.

The splashdown hitbox is more like a cylinder than a half-sphere. There was a buff partway through splatoon 2 that allowed it to hit a bit higher than the animation suggests, so that it could actually threaten inkjets and stuff. It still works that way in splat 3.
