Gold Dynamo Roller

The Gold Dynamo Roller is a Main Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
Like all rollers, the Gold Dynamo Roller can cover turf while in motion and fling a large amount of ink at medium range. This weapon is identical to the Dynamo Roller in terms of range, speed, weight, and power. It comes in a set with the Splat Bomb and Inkstrike, and can only be purchased after collecting the Sunken Scroll from the DJ Octavio Boss Battle. "A Dynamo Roller with rearranged sub and special weapons. Lure the enemy out of hiding with the sub weapon, and then unleash the full force of your powerful roller."

The Gold Dynamo Roller is the slowest of all of the weapons in the roller class, leaving the user very vulnerable to enemies carrying weapons with high movement speed. Having Run Speed Up will boost mobility and make moving a lot easier. Note that the rolling speed of the Dynamo Roller is not affected by Run Speed Up.

Along with having the widest ink trail of the roller class weapons, the Gold Dynamo Roller also consumes ink faster than other rollers. Having Ink Saver Main is a big asset, as it reduces the amount of ink the roller uses.

The Gold Dynamo Roller's sub weapon, splat bombs, use a large amount of ink. Without the use of any ink saver abilities, the Gold Dynamo can only swing once after throwing a splat bomb. Using Ink Saver (Sub) decreases the amount of ink used by the splat bombs, allowing the Gold Dynamo to swing more after throwing a bomb, staying active in battle for longer.

Ink Recovery Up increases the speed ink is recovered in squid form, allowing the Gold Dynamo to spend less time recharging ink.

Trivia
