Usopp Tactics

Usopp, being a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, has had to face an opponent or two. However, unlike the rest of the crew who either specialize in super human feats of strength or what ever, Usopp doesn't exactly have the physique to match their inhuman strengths. He thus instead uses a number of weapons and gadgets in order to keep up with them. These weapons, along with his sniper skills, give him a completely unique fighting style of his own. A fighting style which even amazes his fellow crewmembers. This page lists and details each and every weapon in Usopp's arsenal. It also provides and details the attacks that come along with them.

Lies
Ussop's first and foremost weapons are his lies. Derived from his constant lying about pirates invading everyday in his hometown as well from telling tall tales to his then bedridden friend, Kaya.


 * Usopp Wagomu (ウソップ輪ゴム (わゴム), Usopp Rubber Band) / (Rubber Band of Doom): Another deceptive move, Usopp pretends to fire one of his regular attacks but uses a rubber band instead to make his opponent flinch, so he can use his usopp hammer move. Usopp has been known to actually shoot the rubber band at his opponent sometimes.


 * Usopp Spell (ウソップスペル): Describes some wince inducing situations like "Razorblades between your teeth!" to unnerve anyone in earshot.


 * Drive Shoot: Used in the Dream Soccer King featurette. It's basically Usopp giving a fancy name to an otherwise completely normal shoot at the goal.

Slingshot

 * Hissatsu Namari Boshi (必殺鉛星 (ひっさつなまりぼし), Sure-Kill Lead Star) / (Lead Star): Usopp fires a small lead ball bearing or pachinko ball.


 * Kayaku Boshi (火薬星 (かやくぼし), Gunpowder Star) / (Exploding Star): Usopp fires a highly explosive pellet filled with gunpowder.

 * Ketchup Boshi (ケチャップ星) / (Ketchup Star): A defenseive move where Usopp splatters himself with small ketchup bomb so that it looks like he's covered in blood. This deceives the opponent into thinking he's injured or dead and causes them to drop their guard. Usopp can then that advantage of their lowered guard to run away or launch a sneak attack.

 * Hissatsu Kayaku Boshi (必殺火薬星 (ひっさつかやくぼし), Sure-Kill Gunpowder Star): A stronger version of Kayaku Boshi.


 * Namari Boshi (鉛星 (なまりぼし), Lead Star): Usopp fires a small lead ball from his slingshot.

Kabuto

 * Hissatsu Fire Bird Star (必殺火の鳥星(ファイアーバードスター), Sure-Kill Fire Bird Star): Usopp fires what can be assumed to be a very strong Kaen Boshi in the shape of a massive phoenix, it also seems to summon a massive ring of fire once it makes contact. It is currently unknown on how the properties of this attack work but a common theory is that it is a dial-based enhancement.


 * Hissatsu Himawari Boshi (必殺向日葵星 (ひまわりぼし), Sure-Kill Sunflower Star): Five Hissatsu Kaen Boshi are shot at the same time in a pentagon pattern.


 * Hissatsu Chou Kemuri Boshi (必殺超煙星 (ちょうけむりぼし), Sure-Kill Super Smoke Star): Usopp shoots a pellet that spews smoke over a great distance, creating an enormous smokescreen.

Dials

 * Tone Dial (音貝 (トーンダイアル)): Usopp uses a sound-storing "Tone Dial" from Skypeia. This technique was used only once, to play a joke on Zoro.


 * Flash Dial (閃光貝(フラッシュダイアル)): Usopp uses a "Flash Dial" from Skypiea and releases any light within as a sort of flash bomb.


 * Breath Dial (風貝(ブレスダイアル)): Usopp hides a "Breath Dial" from Skypiea somewhere on the battle field. These are normally used to store scents, Usopp uses it to store flammible gas when enough gas sprays into the battle field. Usopp ignites it with a Hissatsu Kayaku Boshi causing his opponent to be swallowed up in a massive explosion.


 * Impact Dial (衝撃(インパクト)) - Usopp uses an "Impact Dial" from Skypiea to absorb a powerful blow such as Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka and releases it back at the source by striking the opponent. The downside is that the recoil from the released energy is akin to original blow.

Hammers

 * Usopp Hammer (ウソップハンマー): Usopp bashes his target on the head with a small, yet effective, hammer.


 * Usopp Pound (ウソップパウンド): Usopp uses his "5-Ton Hammer" (actually two frying pans, a metal sheet and a stick weighing 2 kg combined) to strike a target. Against Miss Merry Christmas, it looked like a game of Whack-A-Mole.


 * Hissatsu Uso-Cho Hammer Suisei (必殺ウソッチョハンマー水星, Sure-Kill UsoCho Hammer Comet) / (Hammer Shooting Star): A combo attack with Tony Tony Chopper, Chopper transforms into his Horn Point form and Usopp uses Choppers antlers and a large rubberband as a slingshot to fire the hammer Usopp uses for his Usopp Hammer attack at the opponent with tremendous force.

Equipment

 * Usopp Noise (ウソップノイズ) / (Usopp Screech): Usopp plugs his ears, pulls out a small blackboard and rakes his nails across it to make is opponent flinch so he can escape or launch a surprise attack.


 * Usopp AAaaaAAAaaaAA! (ウソップアーアアー): Usopp dons a special belt that can fire a grappling hook for him to swing from tree to tree with. However, Usopp forgot to put in a way to detach the rope. The attack's name is basically Usopp trying to do a Tarzan yell.
