Sheldon’s Notes

The Splat Roller represents the roller class of weapons, which excel in close combat and inking turf. Tap ZR to fling ink at foes, or hold it down to ink the ground as you run. Bounce a Curling Bomb off a wall to cut off your opponent’s route, get right up on them, and SPLAT! Pair it with the Splashdown, and you’ll likely have little trouble splatting multiple opponents at once. To experience the basics of the new generation of rollers, look no further.

Tips

  • This basic roller has decent ink-splatter range and roll speed, ideal for Turf War. Run behind the roller while leaving a wide ink path. Roll right over opponents from behind.
  • The roller and Curling Bombs consume ink quickly. Equip Ink Saver (Main) and Ink Saver (Sub) to reduce ink consumption. Use Ink Recovery Up to refill your Ink Tank.
  • Look for opportunities to take the high ground so you can sling ink with the roller over a wide area. The Splashdown special is best initiated from an elevated position as well.
