Flingza Roller
The Flingza Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.
The Flingza Roller is capable of long-range vertical swings like the Dynamo Roller, while not having to share its low mobility. As a trade-off, its damage at long range is lower than the Dynamo Roller. For horizontal swings, the swing speed and damage of the Flingza Roller are between the Carbon Roller and the Splat Roller. Like other roller-type weapons, the Flingza Roller can be pushed along the ground to cover turf while moving, and only needs one well-aimed ink fling attack to splat an opponent.
Appearance
Like most rollers, the Flingza Roller has two main parts; the handle and the roller. Both parts appear to fold out of a metallic rectangular frame that resembles a Swiss Army knife. The handle is a simple U-shaped piece of metal with black grips. The roller part consists of a cylindrical body (resembling a pen cap) with a fountain pen nib attached. When the user performs a horizontal swing or a roll, the nib gets covered by a retractable cylindrical cover. The roller part is attached to the right side of the rectangular frame via some metal supports.

The vertical swing on the Flingza Roller has a bit of a unique characteristic in that it sends ink droplets to the left and right. These droplets do not do damage but do ink turf.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Flingza Roller is a wild one. Its shape changes depending on whether you swing vertically or horizontally! It allows for quick horizontal ink flings before switching to a vertical fling-like SWISH, SPLAT! Use the Splash Wall sub to create some safety then send your team to the front line by laying down an ink path with a vertical swing. Protect your friends that to the front with the Splat-Bomb Launcher! |

Sheldon's Introduction
The Flingza Roller is a wild one. Its shape changes depending on whether you swing vertically or horizontally! I won't get too technical, but the automatic centrifugal clutch allows for light horizontal swings that go FLOOSH and heavier vertical swings that are more like GLOMP! The bottom line is that you can control the action. Use the vertical swing to lay down a path, then take down nearby opponents with the quick strike of a horizontal swing. While you're zipping around, you can also lay down Ink Mines to help sniff out opponents and fire off some Tenta Missiles for a one-two punch. If you're up to the challenge of simply dominating a match, then you should give this set a try! |

Trivia
- The Flingza Roller is visually designed after a fountain pen. The idle stance and vertical swing show the nib (also seen in the promo image above) while the horizontal swing and rolling stance have the pen with its cap on. As detailed in The Art of Splatoon 2, it is also designed after a Swiss Army knife.
