Slosher

The Slosher is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Slosher is a bucket of ink that can be swung to splatter turf and enemies in a straight line. The trajectory of the ink can be adjusted to strike enemies behind walls or on above high surfaces. It's strong enough to splat opponents in only two shots.

The Slosher deals constant 70 damage no matter how far away the ink travels, as opposed to Rollers and Shooters dealing less damgage the farther the ink goes due to their fall-off damage. In addition to this, more ink will be spread the farther away the ink travels, allowing for an easier time to get around and move in the ink.

Further more, swinging the bucket down to splatter enemies will deal less damage than 70 as their weakness point of aiming down the Slosher. This does not affect the Slosher due to its high damage value and can still splat enemies in only two shots from close range.
