Sheldon's Introduction
If you're looking for a splatana-type weapon with a bit more OOMPH, look no further than the Splatana Stamper, my friend! Now, this weapon takes a bit longer to charge than the Splatana Wiper, but the trade-off is a wider, more powerful spray of ink. It can really do some damage! Give this a try: fire off a charged slash, and follow it quickly with a horizontal slash or Burst Bombs. Not sure what they call a one-two punch in swordplay, but this is it! And with the Zipcaster special, you're practically buckling swashes! Er, swashBUCKLING. What I mean to say is you're basically a laser space pirate with elite space-pirate tech! |
“ | Next, the Splatana Stamper! This is a heavy weapon that can drench opponents in ink using horizontal slashes or charged slashes. Hit 'em with a charged slash, and then pepper in horizontal slashes while they're reeling. Splatana-BOOYAH-rama! You, uh, don't have to say that. | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[3]
