Twinklez Splat Dualies

Dualies · Sub: Fizzy Bomb · Special: Big Bubbler

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.

Role: Frontline slayer (wins 1v1s and survives using dodge rolls) · Difficulty: medium

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

Common gear

This kit

Fizzy Bomb pressures enemies behind walls and backliners while you paint to build special, and Big Bubbler blocks other lines of fire so you can fight at your preferred distance.
