Tri-Slosher

The Tri-Slosher is a main weapon in the Splatoon series.

It is a slosher-type weapon that is separated into three sections and is similar in appearance as a Japanese brush washer bucket. As its appearance implies, it can throw in three different directions. It covers a straight line forward and two splotches to the side, though the damage dealt by connecting multiple of the splotches is the same as that dealt by connecting one. The range is short compared to other sloshers.

Appearance

The Tri-Slosher is a plastic bucket that is divided into multiple sections with the user's ink in them.

In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, the bucket is green, its shape is circular with three triangular sections and a circular section in the middle, the handle is lime green, and there is a black attachment at the back of the bucket that serves as a handhold. In Splatoon 2, the bucket is a lighter green than in Splatoon. Like the Slosher, there is a reservoir of ink inside the bucket which changes color to match that of the user's.

In Splatoon 3, the Tri-Slosher has a new design. The bucket is now blue, square-shaped, divided into three rectangular sections by two vertical lines, and the handle is yellow.

Sheldon's Introduction The Tri-Slosher is a Slosher-type weapon able to attack from three different angles at once! The individual splashes lose a little bit of power, but the wide spread makes it very handy in a tight spot! The Disruptor and Bubbler make this setup suited to a relentless battlefield hunter.(EU/OC)

“

This bucket's three sections originally held cleaning products but now hold... the exact opposite. These segmented sections allow you to attack in three directions at once.

4.5.0	▲ Extended forward the central shot's point of impact.
5.0.0	▲ Decreased gaps around the hit box of the central shot (of the ink blasts fired with a shot from this weapon) to make targets easier to hit, even when angling a shot up or down.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Tri-Slosher is a Slosher-type weapon that lobs ink in three directions in front of you at once! Since the ink is being split in three, it does reduce the attack power slightly, but if you follow up with a Burst Bomb, you're good to go! All that's left is to push forward with the Ink Armor! Recommended for those who really love to aggressively splat their opponents.

The Tri-Slosher returns in Splatoon 3 with a new design. Its kit is Toxic Mist and Inkjet.

It appears in one mission in Return of the Mammalians:

• 0303 Ink Wheels—Experience Tomorrow's Technology Today!

Data

• The Tri-Slosher is a lightweight weapon.
• The matchmaking range is 11. The game's matchmaking system looks at a team's average matchmaking range value, and matches them against a team with a similar average.
• The ink consumption of 6% per shot allows the user to fire 16 times on a full ink tank.

• After firing, there is a 35 frame cooldown before ink starts refilling.

• When initially attacking in humanoid form, the first shot takes 12 frames to come out.

• When initially attacking from swim form, the first shot takes 18 frames to come out.

• The movement speed while firing is set to 0.066 units per frame.

• The time between consecutive swings is 23 frames.

• The interval between firing and being able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 20 frames.

• The effective range is about 11.04 units while grounded and 10.45 while airborne.
  • This is the distance in which the crosshair will change shape when looking at an opponent and is otherwise arbitrary since sloshers do not use traditional falloff mechanics.

Far central ink glob

• The group contains 4 projectiles that spawn consecutively 1 frame apart from each other.
• The group starts spawning as soon as the lifting animation ends.
• The first projectile spawns with an initial speed of 1.2229 units per frame while grounded, and 1.1523 units per frame while airborne. It flies straight at this speed for 3 frames.
  • After this, the velocity is set to 10.0 units per frame if it is not already below this number, and decreases by 10% every frame, including the first frame in which it stops flying straight. Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed more and fall faster.
  • Each subsequent projectile spawns with an initial speed that is 0.16 units per frame slower than the last.
• The projectiles deal 62 damage.
  • Damage falloff starts when a projectile falls 1.5 units below its initial spawning point. It will lose damage the further it falls until it has fallen to 8.0 units below its spawning point, at which point it will deal 35 damage.
• The first projectile spawns with an initial collision radius of 0.09 units for players and 0.07 units for the stage. Over the course of 5 frames, the collision radius for players changes to 0.9 units, and over the course of 4 frames, the collision radius for the stage changes to 0.7 units.
  • For subsequent projectiles, the initial collision radius is 0.01 units smaller than the previous projectile for players, and 0.01 units smaller for the stage. After the collision size changes, the radius is 0.1 units smaller than the previous projectile for players, and 0.1 units smaller for the stage.

Close central ink glob

• The group contains 3 projectiles that spawn consecutively 2 frames apart from each other.
• The group starts spawning 2 frames after the lifting animation ends.
• The first projectile spawns with an initial speed of 0.896 units per frame while grounded, and 0.808 units per frame while airborne. It flies straight at this speed for 3 frames.
  • After this, the velocity is set to 10.0 units per frame if it is not already below this number, and decreases by 10% every frame, including the first frame in which it stops flying straight. Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed more and fall faster.
  • Each subsequent projectile spawns with an initial speed that is 0.25 units per frame slower than the last.
• The projectiles deal 62 damage.
  • Damage falloff starts when a projectile falls 1.5 units below its initial spawning point. It will lose damage the further it falls until it has fallen to 8.0 units below its spawning point, at which point it will deal 35 damage.
• The first projectile spawns with an initial collision radius of 0.08 units for players and 0.07 units for the stage. Over the course of 5 frames, the collision radius for players changes to 0.8 units, and over the course of 4 frames, the collision radius for the stage changes to 0.7 units.
  • For subsequent projectiles, the initial collision radius is 0.01 units smaller than the previous projectile for players, and 0.01 units smaller for the stage. After the collision size changes, the radius is 0.1 units smaller than the previous projectile for players, and 0.1 units smaller for the stage.

Side ink globs

• The group consists of only 1 projectile.
• The group starts spawning 3 frames after the lifting animation ends.
• The group spawns at a 15.0 degree angle off of the center.
• The projectile spawns with an initial speed of 0.897 units per frame while grounded, and 0.836 units per frame while airborne. It flies straight at this speed for 3 frames.
  • After this, the velocity is set to 10.0 units per frame if it is not already below this number, and decreases by 10% every frame, including the first frame in which it stops flying straight. Once the shot velocity decreases below a certain threshold, it will begin to be slowed more and fall faster.

• The projectile deals 62 damage.
  • Damage falloff starts when a projectile falls 1.5 units below its initial spawning point. It will lose damage the further it falls until it has fallen to 8.0 units below its spawning point, at which point it will deal 35 damage.
• The projectile spawns with an initial collision radius of 0.07 units for players and 0.05 units for the stage. Over the course of 5 frames, the collision radius for players changes to 0.7 units, and over the course of 4 frames, the collision radius for the stage changes to 0.5 units.

Version history

Version	Adjustments
2.1.1	— Fixed an issue that caused ink to be displayed incorrectly if a Slosher and a Tri-Slosher both attacked at the same time.
3.0.0	▲ Points to fill special gauge: 190 → 180.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Tri-Slosher answers a question that nobody asked, which is... "Please let me fling three giant buckets of ink at the same time." Hey, come to think of it, that's not even a question! Anyway, since the Tri-Slosher offers a broader attack, the inkpower is a bit less than your basic Slosher. But when you've got Toxic Mist to slow enemies down, it's barely even a problem. Add in the Inkjet, and you're packing plenty of power. This is a set for sloshing away with impunity!

“

Nevertheless, behold the Tri-Slosher! This bucket weapon has three compartments, allowing a multidirectional splat with great coverage. And it seems the bucket-like design has been updated! It's more... buckety... somehow. Help - the word "bucket" has lost all meaning!

Trivia

• The Tri-Slosher was one of the weapons that was available to use in the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere.
• The Tri-Slosher has never had a returning sub weapon across any of its kits.
  • This trait is shared with the Goo Tuber, and the Ballpoint Splatling. However, it is the only such weapon from all three games.

Etymology

Tri-Slosher is derived from the verb to slosh and tri, a prefix meaning 'three'.

ヒッセン Hissen means "Brush Washer". 筆洗 Hissen are segmented buckets that are used for cleaning paintbrushes.
