You know all those rollers you see in turf war? The ones that always charge in rolling? You may have rekt one of these squids or be one yourself. To prevent that from happening (again) I decided to create a guide describing my strategy using the Splat Roller (and that set specifically not any of the other roller sets). The first thing to know using the roller is the fact that you are vulnerable to being splatted at the back, the sides, and if they're out of your range, the front. This means you have to be careful using the roller, not going all offense. The roller is more aimed towards defensive play, sneaking turf from your enemy with its amazing ink coverage. One way to prevent you from being splatted with a roller is to use the Suction Bombs. Check if an area is safe to start rolling on by firing a Suction Bomb at enemy turf, it doesn't always work because there may be another enemy that wasn't splatted by the bomb or it completely missed someone but in my experience it's a good thing to do. Once your special meter is filled up it's important to know how to use you special effectively. The special for the Splat Roller set is the Killer Wail when it is deployed the blast can go through walls, it doesn't have any ink coverage of its own but it can get easy kills if they are caught in its tracks, even if they squid. If you deploy it near enemy turf and start rolling in the blast radius can sort of protect you because they can't squid inside the Killer Wail's blast and you could really only be splatted by a weapon with enough range to hit you. But what about getting splats, the only way to get them I have mentioned so far is the suction bombs. It's really only safe to go for kills if the enemy is distracted by something else but, if an enemy is close to your range and shooting at you with a weak gun you can usually roll into them, the roller can also get anyone who is squidding in their own ink. The way I think a roller should start in Turf War is to start rolling in the area of their team's base and when they get close to enemy turf, retreat and find a new path. This was my first time making a true guide for anything so let me know what to improve on and maybe give some tips of your own, thank you so much for reading. Stay fresh!
