Although it’s technically a shooter, Splatoon is a franchise full of weapons players won’t find in other shooters. Examples of these would be close-quarter weapons like Rollers and Ink Brushes. While these weapons have similar functions, the Ink Brush is a little special since it can seriously disorient an enemy up close. This is almost the perfect weapon for a hyper-aggressive player.
Splatoon 3 Brush Strengths
Brushes are front-line weapons in Splatoon 3, meaning it needs to be up close to their enemy to get value. Ink Brush users deal damage by wagging the brush back and forth, spraying ink in many directions. As such, it’s a great weapon for modes like Turf War since it covers the map in ink. Although getting kills is always appreciated, some players forget that the objective of Turf War is getting the most ink on the ground. Here is where something like a Brush is appreciated since it can cover lots of ground quickly.

Splatoon 3 Brush Weaknesses
Like all close-quarter weapons, the Brush has abysmal range. It will lose to mid-range weapons like the N Zap or Splattershot Pro if they meet in open space. Therefore, it’s best for Brush users to stay submerged under the ink most of the time. That way, they can swim into enemy lines and surprise long-range enemies.
