Roller

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
(Redirected from Rollers)
A promotional image for Splatoon 3 featuring an Octoling wielding the Splat Roller, a weapon included in the Roller class.

Rollers are one of the main weapon classifications in the Splatoon series. When the is pressed, the player flings ink from their roller, which can be used for attacking opponents at medium range. If the player keeps holding down the button, the user will hold the roller down, spreading ink on the floor as they run. Rolling into enemies with most rollers will instantly splat them. Since Splatoon 2, all rollers have a vertical swing attack that is triggered by flinging after jumping, which flings longer but more narrow path of ink for long-range attacks or creating a swimming path.

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

Brushes

Main article: Brush

Brushes are roller-like weapons with rapid-but-weaker swing attack (without any long-range attack mode) and faster running speed when "rolling" that leaves a thinner trail of ink. Prior to Splatoon 3, they are classified as rollers.

List of rollers

Note: The series are arranged by the order of their respective Tableturf Battle cards.

Quotes

“ Squid Research Lab here, rolling out a report on rollers! These versatile weapons can lay down a wide path of ink on the ground or fling it forward for a more traditional attack. Warning: do NOT paint your apartment with one. (A "friend" lost their security deposit that way.) ”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter[1]

Trivia

Glowing ink flung from a roller.
  • Splatting by rolling over enemies will change the splat cam message from "splatted" to "squished" (Splatoon) or "crushed" (Splatoon 2 or Splatoon 3).
  • 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 Point Sensor, Toxic Mist, Fizzy Bomb, or Disruptor as their sub weapon.
  • In Splatoon, the Carbon Roller Deco has a unique special weapon, the Seeker Bomb Rush.
    • However, no main weapon in Splatoon 2 has a unique special weapon.
  • In the corner of the Shooting Range are some parts for a roller, most likely a Splat Roller.
  • Due to the large size of rollers, parts of them will sometimes go through walls as they are being pushed.
  • Rollers are not affected by Run Speed Up when they are rolling.
    • However, the effect is active while running, flicking or doing both at the same time.
  • According to Sheldon, rollers began as unofficial weapons but were eventually made official due to their popularity.
