Sheldon's Introduction
The Jet Squelcher has the top range of any rapid-fire weapon, approaching that of the charger weapons.
It sacrifices attack power, though, so focus on hiding behind your Splash Wall and charging up the Inkstrike!
It's best for fighters who know how to strike at the most opportune moment!

It's best suited to fighters who know how to hold back before striking at the most opportune moment!

Sheldon's Introduction
The Jet Squelcher has boosted pump pressure to give it a range that rivals charger weapons! Use that range to safely splat opponents caught in your Toxic Mist. The main weapon's attack power is on the weaker side, but you've got Tenta Missiles, and it's great for cleaning up the leftovers! Keep moving forward as you splat your opponents! Recommended for players who know when to push and when to hold their ground! |
