Splatoon 3

Use

The Big Swig Roller is a supportive roller-type weapon, with the roller part more extensive, for a wider horizontal and farther vertical range, and a faster fire rate. As described by Sheldon, this weapon was made to ink lots of turf, and with a defensive kit to help out with its weak damage output.

• The Big Swig Roller can be used well in Turf War and Splat Zones. The sub weapon, Splash Wall, can help protect the player while the Big Swig Roller out-inks their opponents and helps capture the zone, and when guarding the zones, or getting attacked, the Ink Vac can help protect their teammates or the zone.
• The Big Swig Roller is weak in combat against other players. However, the Big Swig Roller's high damage to objects is its key feature. It deals twice as much damage to any object (ex: brella shields, rainmaker shields, Squid Beakons) as it would to players.
• The quick rate of fire can compensate for the damage, as the Big Swig Roller can splat enemies in 3 quick swings at most.

Synergy

The Big Swig Roller is able to cover the weaknesses of some weapons due to its great paint output. Weapons with below-average paint coverage, such as blasters or chargers, won't be as much of a detriment to a team when the Big Swig can paint for them.

Countermeasures

• The Big Swig Roller is a fragile weapon, and weapons with high DPS can easily overwhelm it. Due to the Big Swigs low damage at long range, mid to long range weapons can hit it from safe positions.
