Brushes are one of the main weapon types in the Splatoon series.

Brushes have two attack modes: by repeatedly pressing , the player will swing their brush and sprinkle ink globs that spread forwards, inking the surface; by holding and moving, the player will instead push the brush on the ground, similar to roller weapons, but much faster and covering less area. While the first attack mode is effective for inking the stage and splatting opponents, the latter is more useful for moving within enemy ink, chasing or escaping enemies, or encircling them to trap and easily splat them.

Classification

While brush weapons have been in the Splatoon series since the first game, games prior to Splatoon 3 classified them as rollers as they share some technical characteristics with traditional rollers. Since Splatoon 3, brushes are classified separate from traditional rollers.

List of brushes

Note: The series are arranged by the order of their respective Tableturf Battle cards.

Series Description Variants Games

Inkbrush
A fast but short-ranged brush. When pushed along the ground, the user moves at extremely high speed, and leaves behind a narrow trail of ink. Damage is low, as the user needs to land four globs of ink to splat an opponent. Inkbrush
Inkbrush Nouveau
Permanent Inkbrush

Octobrush
A slower brush with decent range. Movement speed while pushing it along the ground is a bit slower compared to the Inkbrush. Only three hits are needed to splat an opponent. Octobrush
Octobrush Nouveau
Kensa Octobrush
Herobrush Replica

Painbrush
A brush with long range and slow swing speed. Its damage is the highest one among the brushes: if landed at their maximum potential, only two splashes of ink are necessary to splat an opponent. Painbrush

Quotes

Squid Research Lab here, ready to brush up on brushes! Hold while using a brush to sprint at a tremendous speed and lay down a tactical ribbon of ink. You can also use rapid-fire brush swings to turn an opponent's face into the kind of abstract art that's worth millions!
