Inkbrush

The Inkbrush is a Roller-like Main Weapon that was released as free DLC on June 5th, 2015.

Description
It is similar in ability to the Splat Roller, but covers a smaller area at a much higher speed. It also does significantly less damage, take five hits of the brush or four or so brush strokes to kill a normal opponent. Much like the Ink Roller, the Inkbrush can be used as a sort of melee weapon that splatters some ink in front of the Inkling. It comes in a set with the Sprinkler and the Inkstrike.

Tips

 * Since this weapon is so fast, many maps that were once dominated by Chargers, such as Arowana Mall, are excellent for the Inkbrush, as its speed makes it difficult for Chargers to get a good shot.
 * When using the Inkbrush, the player's Inkling will hold the weapon on the right hand side of its body. Usually this has no effect on the gameplay, but if a player makes a sharp left turn while in enemy ink, he will actually get stuck in the ink.
 * This could mainly be used as an assassination item as of the speed boost
 * Due to the fast speed you can receive, you can pull off hit and run tactics on the enemy and escape cleanly.
 * Try wearing gear that has Damage Up and Ninja Squid. This allows you to do more damage quickly and escape faster before the enemy arrives to finish you off.
 * As a speedy roller, distract the enemy and terrorize them as much as you can. When the enemies try to group up against you and finish you off, drop an Inkstrike on yourself and watch them blow up.
 * Since it does barely any damage, the Inkstrike (as previously stated) is a great weapon to use.
 * Try using its sub weapon, the Sprinkler, in choke points (small gaps) so the enemies have to run through it, or hit it from a distance before going through the gap.
 * Do not run directly towards opponents as you can easily be knocked (as stated before).
 * You can use this item as a support by claiming land with your Sprinkler and assisting with your Inkstrike from anywhere on the map.

Countering

 * Using the Blaster can help you take them out with the splash damage.
 * The Seeker can be devastating towards Inkbrushers if they are unaware of it coming towards them. In case it does not hit, follow up the trail the Seeker leaves in their path to get up close to kill.
 * Cornering Inkbrushers can prevent an escape, since they do not have escape tools.
 * Using the Disruptor can slow down Inkbrushers and stop their escape, allowing them to be easily hit and forcing them into squid form.
 * Inkbrushers do barely any damage, therefore if you catch them off guard, they may get one hit on you before dying.
