Roller

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
File:Roller Art.png

Rollers are one of the five main weapon classifications in Splatoon and seven in Splatoon 2. Rollers easily spread ink over a wide area around the user, making it an ideal weapon for inking on the go. For most rollers, running into enemies will instantly splat them, changing the splat cam message from "splatted" to "squished". For attacking enemies out of melee range, rollers also have a mid-range ink-flinging attack.

With the Inkling Boy amiibo, the player can use a Roller for Octo Valley missions.

Trivia

Glowing ink flung from a Roller.
  • Ink flung from any roller will glow before it lands. This is often difficult to see, however, due to bright lighting in some areas and the small amount of time for which the ink is in the air.
  • There are no rollers with S2 Weapon Sub Point Sensor.png Point Sensor, S2 Weapon Sub Toxic Mist.png Toxic Mist, or S Weapon Sub Disruptor.png Disruptor as their sub weapon.
  • The S2 Weapon Main Carbon Roller Deco.png Carbon Roller Deco has a unique special weapon - the S Weapon Sub Seeker.png Seeker S Weapon Special Bomb Rush Splat Bomb.png Bomb Rush.
  • In the corner of the Shooting Range are some parts for a roller, most likely a S2 Weapon Main Splat Roller.png Splat Roller.
  • Because rollers are big, parts of them will sometimes go through walls as it is being pushed.
  • Rollers are not affected by S2 Ability Run Speed Up.png Run Speed Up when they are rolling.
    • However, the effect is active while running, flicking or doing both at the same time.
  • All rollers in the S2 Weapon Main Octobrush.png Octobrush and S2 Weapon Main Inkbrush.png Inkbrush series, as well as the S Weapon Main CoroCoro Splat Roller.png CoroCoro Splat Roller, are the only roller-class weapons that have not been nerfed as of March 2019.
