Brush



Brushes are one of the main weapon types in SS undefined.

Brushes have two attack modes: by repeatedly pressing, the player will swing their brush and sprinkle ink globes that spread forwards, inking the surface; by holding and moving, the player will instead push the brush on the ground, similar to roller weapons, but much faster and covering less area. While the first attack mode is effective for inking the stage and splatting opponents, the latter is more useful for moving within enemy ink, chasing or escaping enemies, or encircling them to trap and easily splat them.

Classification
While brush weapons have been in the Splatoon series since the first game, games prior to classified them as rollers as they share some technical characteristics with traditional rollers. Since Splatoon 3, brushes are classified separate from traditional rollers.
