The Bubbler (Japanese: バリア Baria / Barrier) is a special weapon in Splatoon. It is in a few sets, including:

Description[]

For a short period of time, the Bubbler will rebound all attacks from opponents. If one player approaches another teammate with the Bubbler equipped, it will temporarily be spread to that player as well.

Usage[]

Like all special weapons, the Bubbler must be charged by before use, accomplished by spreading ink. Once charged, the player may click the right analog stick, activating it. When activated, a message with the player's image and the special used (in this case, the Bubbler) is displayed for teammates to see.

Tips[]

  • The Bubbler is effective when you're in trouble. Activate it when you and your team are about to be splatted.
    • Don't be afraid to use the Bubbler when your allies are being attacked. It could really help them out and save them from being splatted.
    • Never activate the Bubbler too late because some teammates might have been splatted already.
  • This special could be very useful in tower control as many enemy Inklings will try to shoot you and your teammates while you are on the tower.
  • Using the Bubbler will automatically refill your ink gauge.

Countering[]

  • When it is activated, hide in a corner in squid form so when the shield expires, you can ambush them for free splats.
  • Use Splash Wall when it is activated, it will be useful because the Bubbler user will bounce back a lot, aiding an escape and later attacking.
  • Since being hit while using the Bubbler will knock the user back, use a longer ranged weapon (such as the Dual Squelcher or Jet Squelcher) to knock an opponent away or even off-stage.

Notes[]

  • Lasts five seconds without gear upgrades.
  • The Bubbler is colored in your team color.
  • Must be at least a few metres towards the Bubbler to gain the effects.
