Inkbrush Stats, Usages and General Guide.

Inkbrush Stats, Usages and General Guide.

Hello Everyone my name is Shuckle and you can always find me behind my trusty Inkbrush, I have been using an Inkbrush for a while now and I have come up with a guide to show you the limits and potential it has on a team.

Stats and Geeky Numbers:

Taking a quick look at it's stats can be a odd choice to be someone's main. Although, if used correctly it can be a valuable part of any team. It is an extremely fast and can be used at a flag ship runner or as a Inkling sized Seeker. Especially in Ranked matches it can move an entire team to the the location is a few seconds more so the heavy rollers on your team. The Handling also gives your complete control over the angle of the path that you take and you can easily pivot for quick turns and slashes.


Here is a picture of my Inkling with a full spread of the ink that the brush can do when the tank is depleted. The Inkbrush has an area of influence e that is in the shape of a cone. The range of the swipe is impressive but it is a bit random in the terms of the flying inkblots. However this is not a negative feature at all, since the Inkbrush can be swiped many times depending on the users finger you can swipe from 47 Mashed Swipes in 7.5 seconds or you can preform 55 in half second Swipes in 10 seconds to lengthen the amount of swipes by slowing down.


The out reach of the inkblots only do a minimum of 20.0 damage and the very tip of the actual brush is called the sweet spot due to it doing the most damage at a minimum of 35.0. Each naked Inkling has 100 health and with the threshold's attack it will take four hits to splat them, Other wise I suggest sneaking up on them and sweet spot them for only three hits to splat them. Be careful not to get to close because then the damage is reduced to 20 and it will take the four-mentioned amounts of hits. Hence the sweet spot.



Sprinklers and Inkstrikes!
The Inkrush Brushers have a whole other forum post giving location on maps take a full advantage of the Sprinkler (Click here)


These sub weapons where hand picked to balance out the thin strip of ink that it lays down. It is imperative to set the Sprinkler down as soon as possible because it will be a large part of filling your special gauge when you are transporting your team the front lines of Ranked and when you are lone wolfing in Turf War. Many of the maps have a open Spawn point and can be utilized to fill your Special Gauge and fill the area with ink.



When your Inkstrike is ready you can deal some major damage or help your teammates out of a sticky situation, the Inkstrike also has great usage on the Ranked maps due to the small area that needs to be claimed.

General guide, some useful information, especially regarding the sweet spot, but definitely requires more depth and content.
Awesome and so far very insightful, cannot wait for it to be expanded upon later!
Really great and color coded too! Hopefully this will grab people's attention and show them the Inkbrush's light.
