Tempered Dynamo Roller

"Meet the Tempered Dynamo Roller. This heavy-weight roller gained mobility to quickly run up to the front lines by adding the Seeker as a sub weapon. The quiet but tasteful color tone might lull your opponents into a sense of security before BAM! Killer Wail! Pile on the pressure!"

The Tempered Dynamo Roller is a Roller in Splatoon. It is one of eight weapons included in Sheldon's Picks Vol. 1 and was released at on April 13, 2016.

Description
Like all rollers, the Dynamo Roller can cover turf while in motion and fling a large amount of ink at medium range, but high range for a roller. Compared to the Splat Roller, this roller is much slower but covers a larger area while rolling and throwing ink. It comes with Seeker as Sub Weapon and Killer Wail as Special Weapon.

Like the Dynamo Roller and Gold Dynamo Roller, the Tempered Dynamo Roller can only be unlocked for purchase after obtaining the Sunken Scroll from the fight with DJ Octavio in Octo Valley. It is the only one of Sheldon's Picks that must be unlocked via a scroll.

- In-Game Description

The 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.

As of Version 2.7.0, inklings carrying a Dynamo Roller have their swim speed reduced by 10%, so having some Swim Speed Up helps compensate for that. In addition, the Tempered Dynamo Roller, with its Seeker sub, is more focused on traversing the map quickly than other Dynamo Rollers, so Swim Speed Up helps it fulfil that role better.

Along with having the widest ink trail of the roller class weapons, the 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.

Ink Recovery Up increases the speed ink is recovered in squid form, allowing the Tempered Dynamo Roller to spend less time recharging ink. Both the Roller itself and its Seeker subweapon consume massive amounts of ink, and Ink Recovery Up helps mitigate that.

Trivia
