The Painbrush is a weapon that was introduced in Sizzle Season 2023 and is a weapon in the class of brushes. There are currently no variants and the weapon has the ability to fling ink and slide across a map.

Use

The Painbrush is a brush that has two main mechanics: flinging ink and sliding. These two mechanics are similar to those of its class, but the attacks are more closely related to those of a Splatana Wiper and its variants.

  • The flinging attack can splat an enemy after 3 hits pointed directly at the player.
  • Ink consumption while sliding is 14.4% and while flinging it is 6.4%.
    • Comparing sliding, the Octobrush consumes 9% ink while sliding and the Inkbrush consumes 8.1%.
  • The weapon can be swung every 15 frames or four times per second, which is 6 less than the current Inkbrush and 6 less than the current Octobrush.
  • The brush deals a base damage of 60. In comparison, the Octobrush deals a base damage of 40 and the Inkbrush deals a base damage of 30.

The Painbrush requires much more ink and has a slower speed, but deals almost double the damage compared to others in its category.
