The Swell Roller is a turf machine that doubles as an ambush weapon. Holding it down rolls a 1.9-meter-wide stripe of ink at 4.4 meters per second, one of the fastest ways to cover a lane. Ink drains at 1.1 per meter rolled, so a full tank rolls a long way.
Pressing the trigger flicks a fan of nine ink drops across a 34-degree arc. A flick does 125 damage at close range and 30 at the far edge, so it splats instantly at point-blank but only chips at distance. The 0.22-second windup means you commit before you flick, and the 0.62-second interval between flicks punishes a miss.
Play the Swell Roller around corners and along walls, roll the turf you need, and hide the windup behind cover.
