Seems too early to tell
A possibility, but having a close range weapon may not be a good idea for it, if it makes it explode in the opposing teams color right before your face.Maybe the amount of damage it takes to destroy it is fairly low, maybe all it takes is a shot or two to destroy it
if you can shoot it it will at least mean it can't be used super willy nilly. the explosion won't be large enough if you're already firing in its direction (and they aren't up next to you, and if they are they'd probably just use their main instead anyway) when they make it, meaning throwing down inkchu's willy nilly won't do as much as throwing a splat bomb at an aware opponent. it's pretty easy to dodge even if you can't shoot it, but that means you could be putting yourself in a worse position so the inkchu doesn't splatter you, leading to your untimely splatting in another way, or at least ceding space.A possibility, but having a close range weapon may not be a good idea for it, if it makes it explode in the opposing teams color right before your face.
If it simply destroys it by breaking it down without exploding, it might be worth it more, i don't know if there is a video demonstrating if the inkchu is breakable.
But considering that it also runs on ink like the splashwall, i think it's very likely that it can be shot down, if it's true the outcome of what happens next if it explodes or not may determine this better if it's worth shooting it or jumping out of the way, or simply find a safer way to dodge it.
