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. 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 Slosher-type weapon with three angles of attack! 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 special make this set perfect for in-your-face splatting.(NA)

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.

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.

Quotes

“

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!
