Brush



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

Brushes have two attack modes: by repeatedly pressing, the player will swing their brush and sprinkle ink globs that spread forwards, inking the ground; by holding and moving, the player will instead push the brush on the ground, similar to roller weapons, but much faster and with a narrower ink trail.

Classification
While brushes have been in the SS undefined since, games prior to classified them as rollers because the two classes share some technical characteristics. From Splatoon 3 onward, brushes are classified as a separate class.
