The Splatoon 3 version 3.10 patch notes just dropped
From a quick ctrl+F I see that nothing changed for the brellas this time, not even a bug fix this time :(
Main weapon changes
The snipewriter got a damage buff from 60 to 68, it bridges a lot better with other things now
The dapples and the dualies got a slight buff on their endlag
The mini splatling got a fire duration increase
The luna blaster got a radius increase on the 70 damage hitbox
The splatty Nova got some movement buffs
The slosher got some better falloff damage, its minimum damage is now 50
The Reeflux got some increased movement speed and more consistent aim
And the big swig got some better consistency on its vertical flick
Sub weapon changes
The angle shooter now has doubled its paint radius(that's the second painting buff it got)
Burst bombs now take 45% of your ink tank by default, but if you run ink saver sub nothing changed
Special weapon changes
The ink vac now has a bigger vacuuming radius
The tacticooler now deploys a bit faster and can be picked up from double the horizontal distance
The reefslider's splash damage is now 70 at minimum and the explosion is a bit larger
The inkjet's two shot hitbox is now a bit larger and the jump from pressing B now goes higher up
The ultra stamp is now transparent if you're swinging, turning will be easier and its area of effect is a bit larger
THE CRAB TANK GOT A NERF now it has endlag after coming out of its ball form and after it ends, either by its time running out or being shredded(I cannot believe it took like, what, nine months? Before something like this happened? I don't really know if it will be meta shifting or anything, but it is an actually significant change, at least)
The Kraken is now more vulnerable to knockback if it's on tower(thankfully) and it will drop all of its clams when used(great)
Ability changes
Sub defense up now has a bigger effect against fizzy and burst bombs earlier, the maximum effectiveness hasn't changed
Opening Gambit now gets double the duration increase from getting splats or assists(it used to increase by 7.5 seconds, now it increases by a whole 15) and it also grants 30 AP(three mains) of intensify action, I don't really know how big this effect it will have on its usage, it might still be a waste of the slot, but it's a lot better than it used to be, at least
Points for special changes
The carbon deco went from 200 to 190
The .96 deco went from 200 to 210
Disappointed that the Brellas got nothing again, and kinda weirded out that they didn't change the points for special on the splash, but hey, it had a crab nerf, and one that was significant, even, that's something
@eden brought up in the comments that she doesn't feel like the reefslider buff is very significant, so here I'm going to list a few things that bridge with 70 damage into a splat that don't on 60 to hopefully explain a bit on why it's significant:

The splat roller's minimum damage is 35
The flingza roller's minimum damage is 30
The dynamo roller's minimum damage is 30
The big swig roller's minimum damage is 35

Sub weapons:
The curling, suction, splat and auto bombs have a 30 damage hitbox
The fizzy and burst bombs have a 35 damage hitbox
An angle shooter shot does 35 damage
3 torpedo pellets deal 36 damage
Special weapons:
The super chump has a 35 damage hitbox(I think...?)
The inkjet has a 30 damage hitbox
The tenta missiles have a 30 damage hitbox
The crab does 32 damage on shot and its explosher shot does 30 damage on indirect
The ultra stamp throw has a 30 damage hitbox on landing
The brushes also get a more consistent splat, their minimum damage is under 30 so I didn't really know whether to put it on the list or not, otherwise I think this is everything?
