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 damage no matter how far away the ink travels, as opposed to rollers and shooters dealing less damage as ink travel farther due to fall-off damage. However, there is still fall-off damage when targeting opponents below the player, dealing less than maximum damage.

Splatoon
The Slosher was made available with the update on 2015-08-06 at July 27, 2024. It comes in a set with the Burst Bomb and Inkstrike. The Slosher deals constant 70 damage no matter how far away the ink travels, or what part the opponent is hit by.

As of Version 4.0, the weapon no longer does a consistent 70 damage, but will deal a max of 50 damage if they're hit from above by the trail of ink between the primary glob and the player.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The Slosher appears as Inkling's down smash attack in, alongside a variety of other weapons that she uses in her attacks.

When attacking, she charges up and swings the Slosher to the left and right to deal damage. This also coats opponents in ink but does not ink the ground. It deals much lower damage if Inkling is out of ink. In a victory scene, Inkling spins the Slosher like in.
