Sheldon's Introduction
The Inkbrush Nouveau has the same abilities as the Inkbrush, but it comes with quite a different setup! You can use the brush to swiftly lay Ink Mines. Your opponents won't know what hit 'em. And since you can share the Bubbler with your allies, this is a great set if you like to support your team!(NA)[a] |
