Carbon Roller
The Carbon Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
Compared to the basic Splat Roller, the Carbon Roller is the lighter and more mobile roller. It has an incredibly fast flick that still splats opponents in one hit. However, its attack power and range is weaker, and it is unable to crush Inklings in one hit.

“ | This lightweight roller excels in the mobility department. Its fling attack doesn’t toss a ton of ink, but it’s coupled with Burst Bombs for ranged splattage. Throw an Inkzooka in the mix and it’s on like Crusty Sean! | ” |

The Carbon Roller comes in a set with Autobombs and the Ink Storm.
Each flick consumes 4% of the ink tank capacity, allowing players to fling 25 times before needing to refill.
The Carbon Roller is much faster than almost any other Roller in the game, and is very ink-efficient, allowing you to cover large amounts of turf quickly. This is slightly impaired by the fact that it will cover a little bit less surface area than most Rollers, even though it’s very quick. It is very useful to cover ground quickly, but is lacking in middle-to long range combat.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Carbon Roller is a lightweight roller built using low-density parts for increased handling! You can't fling a whole lot of ink with this one, so use an Autobomb to check if the area's safe before you ink ahead! A well-placed Ink Storm over an enemy's hiding place will send them running. Little do they know that you're waiting to splat them! |

Etymology
Carbon refers to Carbon fiber, a very light material from which the Carbon Roller is made. Many bicycle frames are made of carbon fiber, which alludes to the possibility that the Carbon Roller was made from salvaged bicycle parts.
