Tri-Slosher

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

It is a slosher-type weapon that is separated into three sections and is similar in appearance as a Japanese brush washer bucket. As its appearance implies, it can throw in three different directions. It covers a straight line forward and two splotches to the side. The range is short compared to other sloshers.

The weapon consumes 6% of the ink tank capacity with each slosh, allowing players to slosh sixteen times before needing to refill. Each slosh does enough damage to splat opponents in two hits.

The Tri-Slosher returns in Splatoon 2, looking identical to how it did in the first game. It comes with Burst Bombs and Ink Armor.

Use

 * The Tri-Slosher has the fastest sloshing time of any slosher and has enough damage to splat opponents in 2 hits
 * The fast hits can get weapons with slow firing rates (Such as the Jet Squelcher) without getting splatted.
 * Weapons with slow firing rates but high damage (Such as the .96 Gal) can get a Tri-Slosher but with the fast firing, it could end in both players splatting each other
 * It does well when it goes on the offense. Its high damage and fast fire rate is great against other weapons
 * Ink Armor helps with support on the team and could help in a battle against others
 * Burst Bombs helps to deal damage to get to a close 1 hit splat on an Opponent.
 * ,, can help reduce the chance of running out of ink during a confrontation.
 * Its Three way shot is useful for getting opponents who are on the side of the weapon and for those who don't have the greatest accuracy
 * This is also great for having to deal with opponents who move to the side (Such as N-Zaps who have great mobility) during a battle or with Dualies dodge rolling

Countermeasures

 * The Tri-Slosher uses up a lot of ink when firing so there is more of a chance to run out of ink in a confrontation.
 * Throwing a Burst Bomb doesn't mind but for people who spam burst bombs during a battle have a better chance of running out of ink during a battle.
 * The normal Slosher uses more ink per swing but since the Tri-Slosher is faster, Tri-Sloshers run out of ink quicker than regular sloshers
 * The Recommended Abilities can help reduce the chance of running out of ink in a confrontion
 * The Tri-Slosher also has less range than other sloshers
 * This can get the user splatted when up against long range weapons like the Splattershot Pro and Heavy Splatling
 * The normal Slosher will beat the Tri-Slosher at range which will cause the Tri-Slosher user to get splatted
