Enperry Splat Dualies
The standard Dualies: dodge rolls move you quickly, and after a roll your shots stop spreading and fire faster. Normal shots feel close to a Shooter, and the key is combining them with rolls to win fights. Until you get the hang of rolling, its strengths are hard to feel.

Strengths
- After a roll, spread disappears and fire rate goes up, making it easy to win fights quickly
- Even when stuck in enemy ink you can roll out, so it survives well on the front line
- Good accuracy on both standing and jump shots, and nimble while walking and shooting
- Roll shots have high object damage, which helps with things like breaking the Rainmaker's shield
Watch out for
- You're stuck for a moment after rolling, so enemies who read your movement can punish the end lag
- Painting and splat speed are a bit lower than Shooters with similar range, so it can end up a jack of all trades, master of none
- Rolls cost a lot of ink, so spamming them runs you dry
- Range is on the short side, so getting to mid/long-range weapons watching you or Chargers on high ground takes some planning
Tips
- Handle enemies you can beat with standing shots, and save rolls for closing in or backing off to cut down on end lag
- Don't roll blindly when you don't know exactly where the enemy is
- If your health is low, don't keep fighting; roll away behind cover or below a ledge
- Mixing rolls with Squid Rolls makes it easier to throw off the enemy's aim
