Ink Launcher — splatoon

The Inkzooka (Japanese: スーパーショット Suupaa Shotto / Super Shot) is a Special Weapon in Splatoon. It has a successor in Splatoon 3 called the Trizooka.

Description

When the Inkzooka is fully charged (Or acquired in Hero Mode from a Canned Special), the user is able to shoot about 1 shot per second within roughly an eight-second time period. One-shot from the Inkzooka is powerful enough to splat any opponents caught in the blast.

Usage

The Inkzooka is great for short-range weapons, especially the Carbon Roller, Aerospray MG, and Luna Blaster, when hitting longer-ranged opponents.
If the top of the tornado hits a wall, the whole tornado will disappear.
Even if you aim down, the tornado will still travel forward. Don't try to snipe opponent below you.
Since you can't use your main weapon while using Inkzooka, don't use it if an opponent is nearby.

Countering

The tornadoes can't go through walls, so simply hide behind one.
If you are using a fast, close-range weapon, you can easily rush an Inkzooka user. Try to stay out of sight until you reach them.
Inkzooka users can't use their sub or main weapons. Sneak up on them and then splat them
Hide in ink, and hit them when they aren't paying attention to you.

Trivia

If one looks closely, the text on the Inkzooka is the Inkling language, and not proper text.
In Splatoon 3, the weapon is brought back, although modified into the new Trizooka
