Builds for Carbon Roller?

[Calamari]

I've been getting back into the only roller I like, so I need some advice with builds. I've been running a Damage Up/Ink Recovery Up because of burst bombs and because I run out of ink quick. Could some of you guys recommend some builds that I could use? Thanks!

I've never really had problems with ink efficiency with the carbon roller, but for a long time I ran a ink saver hat standard for everything.

Ninja Squid is helpful, but requires substantial investment in swim speed up (at least one main and a few subs, IMO). I usually use this for Carbon Ninja:

It covers the swim speed penalty then some, allows me to take an extra hit from some weapons (which can be crucial), and gives me a little damage help. I also have a perfect pink-polo ( | ,) that I'd use if I was worried about ink efficiency (sacrificing some speed).

If you don't think you need ninja squid, I'd run a damage up shirt (either part-time pirate or navy striped LS for ink efficiency).

Basically, swim speed and damage up are your friends, but I'd rather have swim speed if I had to choose.

Some people don't think ink resistance is necessary, and I guess it is a bit of a crutch, but I always prefer it.

Here's mine, focusing mainly on Burst Bombs with range ups giving em Jet Squelcher range and damage ups improving their kill potential. I used to use Ink Recovery but replaced with Special Saver so I can Inkzooka more, and really the Carbon Roller's ink efficiency is very good, especially if you flick-roll-swim to get places without losing ink, and then of course Burst Bombs are the sub with the lowest ink cost.

It actually takes very little effort, and you can multitask while doing it, but eh, still not for everyone I suppose.
