Roller



Rollers are one of the main weapon classes in the SS undefined.

A Roller's primary methods of use are swings that create large concentrations of ink, and as their name suggests, rolling along the ground to spread a wide trail of ink and damage enemies on contact.

General mechanics
When is pressed, the user flings ink from their roller, painting a relatively wide area in front of them. If the user keeps holding down, the user will hold the roller down, spreading ink on the floor as they run. Rolling into enemies with most rollers will instantly splat them.

Starting in, rollers are capable of executing a vertical swing attack by flinging after jumping (or after a small delay while otherwise airborne), creating a longer and narrower path of ink.

Brushes
Brushes are roller-like weapons that have weaker, more rapid swings and do not have a vertical swing attack. All brushes have a faster running speed when pushing them along the ground and leave behind a thinner trail of ink than any other roller. Prior to, they were classified as rollers.

List of rollers
Note: The series are arranged by the order of their respective Tableturf Battle cards.

Trivia



 * Splatting by rolling over enemies will change the splat cam message from "splatted" to "squished" or "crushed" ( and ).
 * Ink flung from any roller will glow before it lands. This is often difficult to see, however, due to bright lighting in some areas and the small amount of time for which the ink is in the air.
 * There are no rollers with Point Sensor, Toxic Mist, Fizzy Bomb, or Disruptor as their sub weapon.
 * In Splatoon, the Carbon Roller Deco has a unique special weapon, the Seeker Bomb Rush.
 * However, no main weapon in Splatoon 2 has a unique special weapon.
 * In the corner of the Shooting Range are some parts of a roller, most likely a Splat Roller.
 * Due to the large size of rollers, parts of them will sometimes go through walls as they are being pushed.
 * Rollers are not affected by Run Speed Up when they are rolling.
 * However, the effect is active while running, flicking, or doing both at once.
 * According to Sheldon, rollers began as unofficial weapons but were eventually made official due to their popularity.
