Octobrush

The Octobrush is a main weapon in the SS undefined.

The Octobrush is similar to the Inkbrush in appearance and use, but has a slightly wider ink trail and slower movement speed. It spreads more ink with each swing than the Inkbrush, though at a slower rate. It also has increased range, flinging ink much further than the Inkbrush. Three swings will usually splat an enemy.

Each flick of the brush consumes 3.2% of the ink tank capacity, allowing players to flick 31 times before needing to refill.

Appearance
The Octobrush's handle is dark brown with a small octopus-shaped reservoir and tube that change color to match the user's ink. Like the Inkbrush, the Octobrush has an ink splotch on the end of its bristles that changes color to match the user's ink. Unlike the Inkbrush, the Octobrush's bristles are white and arranged in a rectangular shape.

Splatoon
The Octobrush was released on 2015-07-18 at July 27, 2024. It comes in a set with Squid Beakons and the Kraken.

The Octobrush has a critical damage mechanic, allowing it to sometimes splat opponents in two hits. The likelihood of this can be increased by using Damage Up.
