Carbon Roller
The Carbon Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
Compared to the basic Splat Roller, the Carbon Roller is the lighter and more mobile roller. It has an incredibly fast flick that still splats opponents in one hit. However, its attack power and range is weaker, and it is unable to squish Inklings in one hit.

The Carbon Roller comes in a set with Autobombs and the Ink Storm.
Each flick consumes 4% of the ink tank capacity, allowing players to fling 25 times before needing to refill.
The Carbon Roller is much faster than almost any other Roller in the game, and is very ink-efficient, allowing you to cover large amounts of turf quickly. This is slightly impaired by the fact that it will cover a little bit less surface area than most Rollers, even though it’s very quick. It is very useful to cover ground quickly, but is lacking in middle-to long range combat.
