Flingza Roller

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Flingza Roller is a main weapon in Splatoon 2.

The Flingza Roller is capable of long-range vertical swings like the Dynamo Roller, while not having to share the low mobility of the Dynamo Roller. 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. Each horizontal swing consumes 8% of the ink tank capacity, allowing for 12 swings before needing to refill. Each vertical swing consumes 12%, allowing for eight swings. 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.

The Flingza Roller comes with Splash Walls and Splat-Bomb Launcher.

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

  • When rolling, the player's movement speed is set to 1.08 units per frame.

Horizontal swing (from ground)

  • The ink consumption of 8% allows players to attack 12 times before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
  • When attacking with a nearly depleted ink tank, the ink consumption of that attack is reduced to 4%. The damage of that attack is reduced to 25% of the normal amount.

 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 S2 Weapon Sub Splash Wall.png Splash Wall sub to create some safety then send your team to the front line by laying down a ink path with a vertical swing. Protect your friends that to the front with the S2 Weapon Special Splat-Bomb Launcher.png Splat-Bomb Launcher!
