Competitive:Kensa Octobrush

Use

 * The Kensa Octobrush is great at close range and it does not require the best accuracy
 * It is also good at the speed of swinging
 * The speed should do good against weapons with slow firing rates (Such as the .96 Gal)
 * The brush is also good at covering turf because of the widespread of ink.
 * The widespread of ink can be useful up against Dualies that dodge roll to the side and weapons that move around quickly
 * Suction Bombs can be used to get coverage on areas the Kensa Octobrush can't reach
 * The Ultra Stamp can be used to scare opponents away and to also provide coverage the brush can't get

Countermeasures

 * Although the Kensa Octobrush has more range than the Inkbrush, the range can still be bested
 * Weapons like the Jet Squelcher could beat the Kensa Octobrush in range and splat it without any damage
 * The Kensa Octobrush also is needed to get close in without being noticed if the player wants to get the splat
 * The Kensa Octobrush although has a good widespread, narrow corridors are not the best to ink for the Kensa Octobrush
 * The Kensa Octobrush is also slower than the Inkbrush and slower than weapons such as the Sploosh-o-matic which can take out the user before the brush can splat the opponent
 * Although the Ultra Stamp is good, users should not rely on it to save them in a confrontation as the user can get splatted by behind.

Gear abilities

 * can be used to get close into enemy territory and get a splat
 * Because of the swim redction is useful because it can be used to get in quickly
 * is needed because of the more ink being used per fling
 * Suction Bombs are useful but take up lots of ink, and the brush already uses a lot. Ink Saver (Main) can be used to save ink per fling
 * Because of how the Inkbrush is faster at rolling, is useful if one wants to be just as mobile as the Inkbrush.
 * The more speed can be useful at dodging attacks from weapons with not the best range.
