Use
- The Kensa Octobrush is great at close range and it does not require the best accuracy
- It is also good at the speed of swinging
- The speed should do good against weapons with slow firing rates (Such as the .96 Gal)
- The brush is also good at covering turf because of the widespread of ink.
- The widespread of ink can be useful up against Dualies that dodge roll to the side and weapons that move around quickly
- Suction Bombs can be used to get coverage on areas the Kensa Octobrush can't reach
- The Ultra Stamp can be used to scare opponents away and to also provide coverage the brush can't get
Countermeasures
- Although the Kensa Octobrush has more range than the Inkbrush, the range can still be bested
- Weapons like the Jet Squelcher could beat the Kensa Octobrush in range and splat it without any damage
- The Kensa Octobrush also is needed to get close in without being noticed if the player wants to get the splat
- Ninja Squid could help but the player will also need Swim Speed Up to get in quickly
- The Octobrush also uses up ink more than the Octobrush
- This could result in the player getting splatted because of no ink
- Ink Saver (Main) can help reduce the chance of this happening
- The Inkbrush is also faster than Octobrush and can easily run away quicker whereas the Kensa Octobrush is slower and could get splatted trying to run away
- Main Power Up can help increase speed so that the Octobrush can get away quicker
