(This might be a necro, but I couldn't resist)
I'm a pretty avid Splatoon 2 player. I've logged 180+ hours, and I'm a Kensa Dynamo main. It is so satisfying to splat literally everyone (you can actually break Ink Armor with a straight on vertical hit).
A workaround for this is to completely fill your gear with speed-up, just so you know, but I've been destroyed many times by a good Aerospray or dualie.
