Flingza Roller
The Flingza Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon 2.
The Flingza Roller is capable of long-range vertical swings like the Dynamo Roller, while not having to share the low mobility of the Dynamo Roller. As a trade-off, its damage at long-range is lower than the Dynamo Roller. For horizontal swings, the swing speed and damage of the Flingza Roller are between the Carbon Roller and the Splat Roller. Each horizontal swing consumes 8% of the ink tank capacity, allowing for 12 swings before needing to refill. Each vertical swing consumes 12%, allowing for eight swings. Like other roller-type weapons, the Flingza Roller can be pushed along the ground to cover turf while moving, and only needs one well-aimed ink-fling attack to splat an opponent.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Flingza Roller is a wild one. Its shape changes depending on whether you swing vertically or horizontally! It allows for quick horizontal ink flings before switching to a vertical fling-like SWISH, SPLAT! Use the Splash Wall sub to create some safety then send your team to the front line by laying down a ink path with a vertical swing. Protect your friends that to the front with the Splat-Bomb Launcher! |
