Sizzle Season 2024 Trailer
May 17: Nintendo is now starting to give individual looks at content for Sizzle Season 2024. First up is the Wellstring V and the Custom Wellstring V.
Here's the Wellstring V in action. Unlike other Stringers, its 5 arrows fan out wide after certain levels of charge. With a short charge it can minimize spread and focus its damage on a single target. Its sub weapon is the Auto-Bomb and the special weapon is the Ultra Stamp. pic.twitter.com/f8kdS8Ac4M

The Custom Wellstring V will also be available! Its sub weapon is a Point Sensor and its Wave Breaker special weapon will help you detect hiding opponents so you can optimize those exploding arrows. It fires the same as Wellstring V, so choose based on your preferred kit. pic.twitter.com/asZJ6ja8MR
