How to Use Slosher Effectively

Use the Triple Inkstike to ink areas further beyond your reach.

To make up for the short range that the Slosher provides, maximize your special Triple Inkstrike to hit distant enemies. Throw them in the direction you expect enemies to be for satisfying splats.

Splat enemies hiding behind terrain

As a Slosher-type weapon, the Slosher benefits from each attack having a wide spread of ink. This ink is enough to splat enemies hiding behind corners or even in ledges above you. Take advantage of this unique trait to splat enemies from positions where they can't splat you back.

At the time we hadn't considered how to better utilize the slosher from different altitudes, but this is good insight! Thank you Slosher user!

The slosher weakness section is incorrect. I have mained sloshers for about 4 years. The slosher’s vertical reach is one of its main selling points and should be listed accordingly under strengths. I love maps with height differences for this reason, even if it’s just slopes. Extremely open, flat, or maps that favor long ranged weapons (i.e. chargers) tend to be worse maps for the slosher. A weakness to put in its place is its slow strafing speed and inability to move as quickly as shooters.
