How to Use Carbon Roller Effectively

Dodge ink and run around the stage easily. Use the Zipcaster by to splat enemies from behind. Use the Autobomb to distract enemies.

Quickly get behind an enemy by using its great mobility to dodge ink and splat them at short range.

You can quickly run around the stage even on areas without your team's ink by taking advantage of the rolling speed of this weapon. Use this to also dodge enemy ink attacks as you'll be on the frontlines often.

Using the Zipcaster can quickly drop you behind enemy lines resulting in an easy melee splat.

Start building up your Special-Gauge meter at the start of the match by rolling areas with ink. Use Zipcaster as soon as you gain access to it to swing around the map and land behind enemy Inklings to get an easy splat.

Use the Autobomb to divert the enemy's attention away from you.

If you start getting shot at by ranged weapons, throw in an Autobomb directly at them to distract the enemy and use this time to swim away and reposition to safety!
