Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction

The Inkbrush Nouveau has the same abilities as the Inkbrush, but it comes with quite a different setup! You can use the brush to swiftly lay Ink Mines. Your opponents won't know what hit 'em. And since you can share the Bubbler with your allies, this is a great set if you like to support your team!^(NA)^[a]

“

An

Inkbrush with a different sub and special setup. Fight on your own terms by using the

sub to distract the opponent so you can get in close where this weapon shines.

”

Inkbrush but has a different sub and special! You’ll be able to lay

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction

Ah, now, the Inkbrush Nouveau here offers the same stats as the Inkbrush but offers quite a different experience! Leave Ink Mines for unsuspecting opponents and then rush them while they're reeling from the inky blast! Use the Baller for protection, allowing you to go places the standard Inkbrush set would never allow! This set is great for those who want to take their Inkbrush technique to the next level.

Etymology

Inkbrush Nouveau is a combination of Ink and Brush, as well as Nouveau, french for New. Nouveau may also refer to Art Nouveau. The suffix Nouveau is also used to differentiate it from the Inkbrush. This trait is shared among the other alternate sets of the Nouveau brand.
