Splat Roller

The Splat Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Splat Roller is a large paint roller. It covers turf while the player pushes it and can be used as a melee weapon. After pressing, it flings ink at a short range. If the player continues to hold down, the Splat Roller touches the ground and is able to leave a wide trail of Ink identical to the player's movements for as long as the player holds. Enemies making direct contact with the roller while it is being pushed are splatted instantly. At close range, well-aimed fling attacks will splat opponents with one hit. Each flick of the Splat Roller consumes 9% of the ink-tank capacity, allowing players to fling 11 times before needing to refill the tank.
