The Octobrush is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

The Octobrush is similar to the Inkbrush in appearance and use, but has a slightly wider ink trail and slower movement speed. It spreads more ink with each swing than the Inkbrush, though at a slower rate. It also has increased range, flinging ink much further than the Inkbrush. Three swings will usually splat an enemy.

Each flick of the brush consumes 3.2% of the ink tank capacity, allowing players to flick 31 times before needing to refill.

The Octobrush was released on 18 July 2015 at 02:00 UTC. It comes in a set with Squid Beakons and the Kraken.

The Octobrush has a critical damage mechanic, allowing it to sometimes splat opponents in two hits.[1] The likelihood of this can be increased by using Damage Up.

The Octobrush returns in Splatoon 2 with Autobombs and the Inkjet. The Herobrush Replica has the same kit as the Octobrush.

The critical damage mechanic was removed in Splatoon 2, so it always takes three or more hits to splat an opponent.

Sheldon's Introduction

The Octobrush is a brush with dense bristles that fling a thick stream of ink with each swipe! The Autobomb sub weapon allows you to sweep areas you can't see, allowing you to push forward with confidence! Faraway enemies aren't safe either with an Inkjet on your side. Easy to use, this brush set is great for brushing up on your skills!
