Dualie
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
Dualies are one of themain weapon classes in theSplatoon series.
Dualies aredual-wielded guns similar toshooters that fire small blobs of ink in quick succession. They have the unique capability to perform a dodge roll move with a burst of ink.
Dualies were first introduced inSplatoon 2.
General mechanics
Dualies fire alternately from each gun. Each gun fires at two separate crosshairs on the screen, giving them lower accuracy.
They are also capable of dodge rolling by using while moving and firing at the same time. After a roll is completed, the player holds the dualies together, and the crosshairs converge into a single one with higher accuracy and increased fire rate. This state lasts until the player moves or stops firing. After a dodge roll, the player cannot move for a brief amount of time, though they can dodge roll again up to a maximum amount of successive rolls, which is two for most dualies. Dodge rolls consume ink and leave a splatter of ink on the ground, and are also capable of quickly propelling the player downwards when performed in midair. Their other properties vary depending on the pair of dualies in use.

Victory:
- Inkling girl: Jumps up then backflips twice before posing with both dualies pointed towards the ground.
- Inkling boy: Jumps up while swinging their arms before doing a side flip, then proceeds to twirl each dualie on their fingers before striking a pose and winking.
- Octoling girl: Does a double backflip and some quick aims with her dualies before striking a pose and winking.
- Octoling boy: Similar to Octoling girl, except pose is different and does not wink.
Defeat:
- Inklings: Holds their head in disappointment before thrusting their arms downwards, proceeding to twirl their right dualie on their finger.
- Octoling girl: Holds their head in disappointment before crossing their arms, occasionally tapping their toes.
- Octoling boy: Similar to Octoling girl, except they rest their left dualie on their shoulder instead of crossing their arms.
In Ammo Knights (Clicking):
- Inklings: Twirl left dualie on their finger before doing some quick aiming, transitioning into the idle animation.
- Octolings: Looks at the right dualie and then the left before twirling each dualie on alternating fingers, transitioning into the idle animation.
Splatoon 3
Spawner pose:
- All styles: They stay in a crouched position with their dualies pointing upwards.
Victory:
- Flip Out: Backflips and shoots the weapons right then left in midair. They then land, crouching and spinning the weapons with their fingers.
- Reppin' Inkopolis: Spins and then juggles them, then poses while pointing the weapons. (Added in version 7.0.0. Versions prior used the same animation as Flip Out.)
- The Square Show-Off: Tosses both dualies into the air before jumping to catch them and turn around mid-air to face the other way as they land, then jumping into a backflip to return facing forward and crossing their arms at their waist on landing, before standing up and extending their arms to their side, spinning their dualies on each index finger while smiling.
In Ammo Knights (Clicking):
- Inklings: The player will look at their left dualie and then the right, spinning the right one with one finger and spinning the left one at the same time shortly after, moving their torso to their right and doing a couple quick aims, looking at their right dualie and nodding.
- Octolings: The player will throw their right and left dualie in the air, catching both at the same time before doing a couple poses, spinning their dualies and nodding at their left one afterwards.

Trivia
- The dualies' losing animation was changed from theSplatoon 2 Global Testfire version to the official release. TheGlobal Testfire had theInkling swing the dualies down while looking at them annoyed (if a boy) or looking off annoyed (if a girl); the official release has both of the Inkling genders swing them down and spin one of them around their finger disappointingly, andOctolings have them fold their arms while holding one in their hands.
- The only dualies to be redesigned inSplatoon 3 are theCustom Dualie Squelchers, as the tips of both guns are yellow instead of black.
- After performing a dodge roll, as long as the player does not move, their character will be aiming with one eye closed. Most dualies will close their right eye, but theDualie Squelchers and its variant close their left eye instead.
- If afist-bump is initiated and at least one of the players is wielding dualies, they will toss the dualie on the respective side up in the air and catch it when the fist-bump animation ends.
- The code used for the dualies' dodge roll move is reused by thesplatana class weapons' charged lunge attack.
