Tons of player of Splatoon 2 avoid using the brushes in the game for various reasons but I’m here to tell players why they should consider these weapons in their next turf war. They usually don’t cross the mind of the players when choosing a weapon due to there being a vast assortment of weapon types in the game. Here is a list of the best brush choices if a player needs it for a battle.
5.Inkbrush Nouveau
Coming in at number 5 is the Inkbrush Nouveau, a lightweight weapon, and can be purchased by the player at level 7. Ink consumption while rolling is 8.1% and per each attack, it consumes 2%. It allows the player to attack 50 times before having to refill the ink tank and takes 180 points to use its Special attack.
The Inkbrush Nouveau has great inking speed and handling but a horrible range. It’s best for up close and sneaking up combat. The Sub weapon Ink Mine can be placed and is detonated by an opponent walking on it. This helps the player retreat when a long-range weapon is attacking. The Special attack is Baller and it can be used both as an offensive or defensive weapon, depending on the player’s situation. The player has weapons that help make up for the lack of range with the Sub and Special attack weapon. This allows the player to maintain a plan while taking over the turf in battle.

4. Octobrush Nouveau
The Octobrush Nouveau is number 4 on the list and is a middleweight weapon. Ink usage is 10% while rolling and 3.2% when attacking opponents. This means the player can attack 31 times before having to refill their ink tank. This weapon packs a punch and can splat an enemy in two hits. It takes 170 points to use the Special attack and can be purchased at level 15.
This weapon has a better range than the Inkbrush Nouveau and good ink speed and handling. The Sub weapon Squid Beakon allows the players a place to super jump to get away from enemies or to cover more ground faster. It’s best for the players that like to strategize a plan offensively and go forward to strike the enemy down. The Special attack Tenta Missiles allows a player to attack enemies that are out of reach from them. Using these weapons in a well thought out method could lead the player and the team to victory.

3. Kensa Octobrush
Next on the list is the weapon Kensa Octobrush, which some players think it is like the Octobrush but they are completely wrong. This brush has a different Sub weapon and Special weapon that the Octobrush which allows for some amazing attacks onto the enemy. The Kensa Octobrush can be purchased after completing level 20 and is classified as a middleweight weapon. It consumes ink 10.8% while rolling and 3.2% while attacking. This allows the player to attack 31 times before having to refill the ink tank.
The Sub for this weapon is Suction Bomb which is a bomb that can be thrown at nearby enemies to stick onto the ground or the wall. This allows the player to distract the opponent or splat them unknowingly from around the corner. The Special attack is called Ultra Stamp which is a weapon that looked like a giant squeaky toy hammer. This weapon allows players to stomp the hammer on the ground to splatter ink and enemies in their path. If the player sees an enemy trying to run, the player can throw the hammer to splat the enemy. This attack ends the special attack when used but can turn the splat towards a team victory.

2.Octobrush
Now onto the number two weapon, the Octobrush which can be obtained at level 10. This weapon has a wide ink trail and can splat enemies in three hits. The Octobrush can use its Special attack with 170 points and it’s classified as a middleweight weapon.
Octobrush has the Sub weapon Autobomb and the Special Inkjet which go hand in had to balance short-range and long-range weapons. Autobomb is a tiny frog looking bomb that whichever enemy it targets, it’s going to keep following it until it explodes. This weapon helps when the player runs into a problem and needs to get away from the enemy that’s close by. The Inkjet Special is useful when needing to attack long-range enemies. When in use, the player flies above the stage and can pick off the enemy one by one. This combination is great for those needing to attack both close and far away opponents.

1. Inkbrush
Finally, the number one weapon on this list is the Inkbrush which is a good melee and lightweight weapon on the battlefield. The Inkbrush can be purchased at level 5 and is the fastest inkbrush weapon in the game. If the player needs to get somewhere quick, this is the weapon for them. It takes 150 points to use the Special attack and can attack 50 times before having to refill the ink tank.
The Sub weapon is the Splat Bomb and the Special attack is Splashdown. Splat Bomb is useful to use to confuse the enemies or to splat ink in unreachable enemy territory. Splashdown creates a huge splash of ink when hitting the ground and splatting enemies caught up in the attack. This attack is good for inking and for when cornered by an enemy. Using these attacks can help the player conquer enemy territory quickly and ink it up, making it a pain for the enemy to move forward in a turf war without running into ink everywhere. This slows down their progress to the player’s turf and allows the player’s team members to catch up to help take over the enemy turf. The Inkbrush can hold its own in a battle and can be the weapon that helps players gain victory easily.
