Splat Roller Gameplay #8 - Splatoon 3 | Anarchy Battle (RM)

Gameplay of Splat Roller on rainmaker. It's been a while since I've played this weapon, so since I've played the Krak-On kit a while back, why not give the base kit another shot. Thanks to @Dart-gh8mn for requesting this weapon. Splat Roller is a short range weapon that does great damage, can one shot opponents up-close, has a wide attack, has okay paint output, and solid mobility. And the kit is quite good. Curling bomb is a sub weapon that allow you to roll a bomb that leaves a paint trail and bouncing off walls. It will then shortly explode after traveling for a bit. And big bubbler is a special weapon that allow you to deploy a device that create a big spherical barrier. The barrier can tank enemy's shots, subs or even some special and in the middle of the barrier, there's a squid beakon that allow you and your teammate to jump to the bubbler. Now I want to talk about the strength and weakness about this weapon and it's kit. The weapon is quite good at applying pressure once it's able to close the distance. The weapon can attack with either a horizontal flick or a vertical flick. Horizontal flick is good for getting quick kills up-close as well as covering more area in front of you. And the vertical flick can one shot and deal damage from a further distance, but the attack is more precise and narrow. Both flicks are very helpful for applying pressure, but the DPS isn't the best and the damage falls off the further away from it's attack is. It's paint output isn't the best and the weapon still get outranged by mid and long range weapon. Curling bomb is great for helping you quickly traverse through enemy ink and helping you approach. The bomb travel pretty far and quite fast when thrown uncharged, making it a great tool for quick approaches. And although not practical, the bomb is still quite lethal if enemies get hit by it. So sometime, you might get random kills when throwing the bomb. You can also charge up the bomb to make the explosion bigger, but travel less. But the sub is a bit expensive to use and following it all the time can make you very predictable. And big bubbler is great for staling out pushes and securing an area. The bubbler can tank a ton of damage and it stays up for so long. Once deploy, you can still use your main weapon and sub to further secure the area. There's also a beakon in the middle of the base that provides a jumping point for you can your teammates. But the barrier will deplete the more it gets damages. It depletes even more if you hit the generator on top of the barrier. And although the barrier will block enemies fire, enemies can still go through the barrier, making you susceptible to being flank or shark by opponents. There's also some specials that can shred the barrier quite well or breach through the barrier. So when playing Splat Roller, you want to focus on applying aggro pressure. Utilizes cover and try to either flank or shark your opponent to close the distance and apply pressure. Throw out some curling bomb to help you approach easier, tho try not follow it all the time, and once your special is ready, activate it in a good position to distract and secure the position until your team can help apply more pressure for your push. Just remember to manage your ink output and try not overextending too much. Thanks for reading this and hope you guys enjoy the video.
