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. It plays a hybrid of support slayer as it can kill at a distance and also paint well.
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%.
- 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 and minimum damage of 25. 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.
Synergy
The curling bomb can help the paintbrush as a mobility tool and to poke at enemies from a distance. However, it is ink hungry which makes it hard to use withe the already ink hungry main weapon.
Countermeasures
The paintbrush is very ink hungry so it would not have much ink left after using curling bomb. Try to kill it when it has less ink to fight you with.
