These aren't my favourite Salmon Run weapons. Glooga Dualies are poor at inking turf, the Flingza Roller isn't as heavy as the Dynamo Roller, but slower than your basic Splat variety, and I just don't get along with brushes. Still, there are salmonids to steal eggs from for a bear, so here I am. I start with the Flingza Roller which, despite its name, doesn't fling that much ink, not at walls. My joke Splat Bomb gets bounced by a trumpeting Smallfry, and only really distracts me from the Flyfish behind. I take my time and splat it anyway, then bring down a Lid to stroll under it, only for another Flyfish to appear and throw missiles my way. I've moved on, and splat a Steelhead instead, before splatting a Flipper back at the basket. I rue the Flingza Roller not being heavy enough to squish a Scrapper, so leave it to others, and just focus on eggs, until multiple Flippers flop in sequentially. That puts us comfortably over quota, so I just relax for the final few seconds, trying to splat a Flyfish, who wants revenge.

On to the second wave, and I get the only decent weapon in the set, the Wellstring V. I have no say in splatting a Drizzler, which is fine, and a Flipper flies in, which the Wellstring is well-suited for. I move across to splat a Flyfish, leaving eggs behind because I don't want to be chomped by a Steel Eel. They follow me around a bit, which is fine, as I busy myself splatting other bosses, drawn by the long-range threats of Flyfish and Stingers. We need eggs, though, so I head back to the basket, and get immediately distracted by more bosses. But that drops more eggs, and we hit quota, with a bonus egg for luck, getting us to the final wave.

Now to struggle with the Glooga Dualies. To make them work, you have to dodge roll, and are pretty weak when you don't. Keeping that in mind, I dodge roll across the Grounds, getting some decent splats, it has to be said, but I do like it when a Maws turns up and I can just throw a Splat Bomb. Some distant bosses could pose problems, but I have two Killer Wails to use, so I pull out the first one. I have to tweak it to hit the Flyfish I was primarily aiming at, but it does the job. Then it's up a Lid, and a Fish Finger, then flying off to avoid a Maws, and trying to splat another Lid from the ground. That doesn't work, because of course it doesn't, so I clamber on to avoid the Maws still after me, then I use the second Killer Wail to hit whatever's around, being so late in the Run, and throw some last-second eggs in to the basket. Another Run successfully completed. Woomy!
