TheSplat Roller is amain weapon in theSplatoon series.

The Splat Roller is a large paintroller. It covers turf while the player pushes it and can be used as a melee weapon. After pressing, it flingsink at a short range. If the player continues to hold down, the Splat Roller touches the ground and can leave a wide trail of ink identical to the player's movements for as long as the player holds. Enemies who come into direct contact with the roller while it is being pushed are splatted instantly. At close range, well-aimed fling attacks will splat opponents with one hit.

Appearance

The Splat Roller is reminiscent of an over-sized version of a paint roller commonly used to paint walls. Itsink tank is always near-identical to that of theSplattershot of the game it is in. The weapon is usually kept folded up into a more compact state, folded along a joint in the middle, and is unfolded for its horizontal swings and when rolling along the ground, and is kept folded up when used for vertical swings. The paint roller portion of it is covered in round indents, and is usually covered in a thick coating of the user's ink, but when the user is out of ink, most of it is faded and the texture of the roller is visible underneath. The frame of the weapon is only attached to one side of the paint roller, another element taken from its real-life counterpart.

InSplatoon, the frame of the weapon is mostly dark green with the handle grips being yellow-green, along with the joint that connects the top part of the roller to the rest of the frame. There is a small ink tank located in the middle of the frame, connected to it via its yellow-green strap, and a large piece of green and red plastic connected to the bottom of the hinge, with the frame going behind the ink tank. The roller cover is connected to the frame by the right side.

InSplatoon 2, the appearance changes slightly, with the frame now being purple and the handle grips being black and simpler, resembling a rubber grip, along with the ink tank now being on the left side of the weapon, now just attached by a piece of plastic connected to the opening on the top of the ink tank, and is pointed slightly away from the frame. Unique to this game is an extra support added in the middle of the weapon's frame, a black latch added to the weapon's hinge and another to its handle. The two ends of the paint roller now have an exposed metal bolt, surrounded by a large black metal ring.

InSplatoon 3, the appearance changes significantly in some respects, having a more simplified and plastic-like design. The frame of the weapon is black, but is surrounded by a purple plastic casing. The black frame is exposed in a few parts of the weapon - the hinge is now partly black, as well as the part of the frame on the roller-side connected to the hinge, and the bottom of the frame, which connects to a further-simplified black grip. The hinge is also much more simplified and rounded. The casing on the handle-side of the roller has a large protrusion that it is held by when it is unfolded. The roller-side of the frame has a black pad connected to it by yellow plastic, likely acting as a mudguard. The two ends of the paint roller now have a yellow plastic rim, and the exposed metal bolts on the ends are more large and prominent, with a wavy edge on the part connected to the frame, and two protruding metal loops on the other end. The ink tank still is on the side and points slightly away from the frame, but it no longer has any extra element connecting it, instead connected by the wavy yellow plastic surrounding it. The ink tank is also reversed compared to the tank on the other games' rollers, meaning the screw top of it is not connected to the frame itself, and instead protrudes.

Sheldon's Introduction

TheSplat Roller represents the Roller class of weapons, useful for close combat and also for painting the floor. TapZR to hurl ink at foes, or hold it down to paint the floor beneath you as you run! Rollers began as unofficial weapons, but became so popular that they're now an officially recognised style! The included Suction Bombs and Killer Wail are powerful too, so this is a great set to learn the Roller ropes.(EU/OC)

“A weapon adopted from an ordinary paint roller. Aside from inking the ground, it can also be swung to hurl globs of ink at your opponents.”
— In-Game Description
“This weapon here is theSplat Roller. Its ability to ink the ground while on the move sometimes classifies it as a melee weapon, but you can also swing it to fling ink, making it effective at medium range too! It's all about knowing when to roll and when to fling!”

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    TheSplat Roller represents theroller class ofweapons that excel at close combat andinking turf. Tap to fling ink at foes, or hold it down to ink the ground as you run. Bounce aCurling Bomb off a wall to cut off your opponent's route, get right up on them, aaaaaaand SPLAT! Paired with theSplashdown, I'm pretty sure you'll have no trouble splatting multiple opponents at once! If you want to experience the basics of the new generation of rollers, look no further.

    “The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal. Press while on the ground to fling a wide volley of ink or press while in midair to fling a narrower, concentrated volley of ink.”

    • After rolling, there is a 20 frame second cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Hitting an opponent while rolling deals 125 damage.
    • While rolling, the Splat Roller leaves an ink trail that is 5.6 units wide.

    Horizontal swing (while grounded)

    • The ink consumption of 8.5% allows players to attack 11 times before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • When attacking, it takes 21 frames to lift the roller (0.35 seconds).
    • When attacking while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.048 units per frame.
    • After swinging, there is a 43 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Attacks have a base damage of 150.
    • For normal attacks, ink loses damage based on distance traveled. Ink starts losing damage at 4.2 units and stops losing damage at 10.7 units. The minimum damage before time-based falloff is applied is 35.
    • The lethal range is 7.2 units, as this is the farthest distance where ink deals 100 damage.
    • If a glob of ink is in the air for more than 25 frames after being flung, it loses damage each frame until frame 45, at which point it will deal 50% of its original damage. Thus, the minimum damage that can be dealt per glob is 17.5.
    • Ink flung from the center of the roller does the greatest damage. Ink that is flung at an angle greater than 16.0 degrees to the left or right will have lower damage. This low-damage ink starts losing damage after traveling a distance of 2.0 units and stops losing damage at 9.2 units. The maximum damage is 100 and the minimum damage is 35.

    Vertical swing (while in midair)

    • The ink consumption of 8.5% allows players to attack 11 times before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • When attacking, it takes 26 frames to lift the roller (0.43 seconds).
    • When attacking while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.048 units per frame.
    • After swinging, there is a 58 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
    • Attacks have a base damage of 150.
    • For normal attacks, ink loses damage based on distance traveled. Ink starts losing damage at 5.2 units and stops losing damage at 13.2 units. The minimum damage before time-based falloff is applied is 40.
    • The lethal range is 8.2 units, as this is the farthest distance where ink deals 100 damage.
    • If a glob of ink is in the air for more than 30 frames after being flung, it loses damage each frame until frame 45, at which point it will deal 50% of its original damage. Thus, the minimum damage that can be dealt per glob is 20.
    • Damage does not change based on the angle of the ink.

    Quotes

    		Sheldon's Introduction

    TheSplat Roller represents theroller class ofweapons that excel at close combat andinking turf. With any roller, you can tap to fling ink, or hold down as you run to lay down a path of inky goodness. Try using yourCurling Bombs to sneak up close to an enemy, and then... PLOOSH! Get 'em with the roller. It's oh so satisfying. As an added strategic wrinkle, you have theBig Bubbler to rally your team to the front line at just the right moment. If you're new to rollers, I can't recommend this loadout enough. Who knows? Maybe you'll become a roller for life!

    “Let's take a look at theSplat Roller. This is an easy-handling roller that's a great introduction to the "rolling life." But make no mistake - it's plenty capable, especially if you can master both horizontal and vertical swings.”
    — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[6]
    “Balanced and Easy to Use
    A basic, all-around model that balances power and swing speed. Its horizontal swings and ink rolls have a wide spread, and the vertical swings get plenty of distance, allowing you to strike at faraway enemies in addition to inking the ground.    		”
    — Splatoon Base[7]

    Main article:Splat Roller

    The Splat Roller (as it appears inSplatoon) appears asInkling'sside special attack inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of otherweapons used in her attacks.

    When executed, Inkling pulls up a roller and pushes it along the ground, covering it with ink that slows opponents walking on it. Hitting an opponent when rollingburies them, deals damage, and coats them inink. When Inkling runs out of ink, rolling does not deal damage, will not ink the ground, and rolls much slower.
