Data through November 9, 2026

A Slosher that throws 4 bubbles per swing that bounce along the ground. Each bubble does 32 damage with no falloff from distance or height, so landing all 4 splats in one swing. Bubbles linger and bounce off walls, letting you blanket a wide area over ledges and with ricochets. But its shot speed is the slowest of any weapon, and it struggles up close.

Strengths

• Land all 4 bubbles and one swing splats, with no damage falloff from distance or height
• Bubbles bounce along the ground, linger, and ricochet off walls, reaching enemies behind cover and in blind spots
• Range grows even more when firing from high ground, and it paints well
• High damage against objects like the Rainmaker's shield and Big Bubbler
• Easy to hit enemies whose movement is limited, like those trying to get on the Tower

Watch out for

• Slowest shot speed of any weapon, so you have to lead your shots. The farther the target, the harder they are to hit
• Long swing lag makes it very weak to close-range fights and ambushes (Splat Dualies, Inkbrush, Tetra Dualies, and the like are its worst matchups)
• Its effective range drops a lot against enemies where the bubbles can't bounce: on high ground, on grates, or in the air (like Inkjet)
• It stands out and draws fire even from far away, but has few ways to protect itself
• Bad at painting walls, and not great at climbing to high ground

Tips

• Shots are slow, so focus on pre-firing spots enemies will move into and leading your shots
• Stand between the front line and the backline, keeping enemies at the distance of the bubbles' first or second bounce
• Flick your gyro sideways as you swing to fan the bubbles out. Great for flushing out lurkers and spreading paint
• Swinging from the same spot makes you an easy target. Don't wait to fight after they close in; relocate early once you're targeted

Recent changes

• 11.0.0: System change for all weapons: main weapons get bigger hitboxes against players (the shorter the range, the bigger the boost), squid form gets a smaller hurtbox, and the game adds "Flow Aura" (a temporary power-up when you keep performing well) plus a remaining-health display (source 8)
• 11.1.0: Main weapon: damage 30→32 (source 9)
• 11.1.0 Reaction: Bubble damage went from 30 to 32, but even after the update (late August 2026) it's still unranked in every mode on GameWith's tier list, so it isn't seen as a game-changing buff (source 5)
