Splatana



Splatanas are one of the main weapon classes in the SS undefined.

Splatanas are sword-like weapons that send horizontal blades of ink flying with each slash of the weapon. They are also capable of charging to perform a higher-damage vertical slash.

Splatanas were first introduced in.

General mechanics
As a charging-type weapon class, splatanas will make use of not only basic slashes with repeated taps of, but also the higher-powered charge slashes when holding.

All slashes produce both an ink projectile as well as a close-ranged melee hitbox. The charged slash possesses not only higher damage on its ink projectile, but also extreme damage capable of a one-hit splat on its melee hitbox. To increase the efficacy of this attack, splatanas are also capable of performing a quick forward lunge before attacking on the ground by releasing a charge while holding.
