=== Tips ===
*Though the Carbon Roller is incapable of rolling over people in one hit, Carbon Rollers are instead given an incredibly fast flick. In fact, (not counting steamrolling with an already deployed roller, or a pre-charged [[charger]] shot) the Carbon Roller has the fastest 1-hit-KO of any weapon, going through the motion of a single flick in a short 11 frames (a bit less than half a second)!
**Because of this, it is advised to try to attack enemies when they are close by, either by hiding nearby or luring towards you.
*[[Burst Bomb]]s are great for hitting enemies that keep themselves out of your flick range, but can also be used to make combos with the Roller's fast motions (i.e. hitting an enemy with a Burst Bomb, then easily splatting them with their lowered health).
**One such combination (sometimes referred to Burst Canceling) is to throw a [[Burst Bomb]] directly at an enemy in close range, then flick the Carbon Roller immediately after.
*The [[Inkzooka]] can be used to scare away enemies, to hit unwary enemies outside of your range, or to splat far away [[Charger]]s. However, be aware that it is a lot harder to attack close range with an [[Inkzooka]], although it is still possible to use [[Burst Bomb]]s while your Special is active.
=== Countering ===
*Due to the short range of the {{PAGENAME}}, long ranged weapons may easily kill the player if they are not careful.
**Alternatively, if using a short range weapon (e.g. [[Splattershot Jr.]], [[Aerospray RG]], [[Sploosh-O-Matic]]), try to attack the {{PAGENAME}} before they see you or have time to react.
* Since the {{PAGENAME}}'s flick distance is short, make sure to stay out of range. One can ward off a {{PAGENAME}} by placing [[Suction Bomb]]s or shooting to keep them at bay.
*If getting splatted by the {{PAGENAME}} is inevitable, place an [[Splat Bomb]] or [[Ink Mine]] upon your death in hopes it will in turn splat the {{PAGENAME}}, causing a trade.
=== Recommended Abilities ===

:Swim Speed Up is a useful ability on any short range weapon. It helps the {{PAGENAME}} close in on opponents, quickly occupy advantageous positions, and escape danger.
