u/Rose94 shall grace us with her presence one more time.

This weapon was one of the most hyped weapons on this sub, I remember the build up while we were waiting for it, and I know squids who actually took a break from playing for a while til it came out! The first brush with long ranged options was definitely gonna be something amazing.

And what we got was something that was either absolutely spectacular or incredibly underwhelming, depending on how you play.

Having splat bombs certainly allows the brush to space people out more, deal with walls and handle itself well on maps like port mackerel that the vanilla can struggle with. Inkzooka makes dealing with snipers a lot easier while also allowing you to retreat without giving up your offensive capabilities.

But both of these beautiful additions comes at a cost. Splat bombs are very ink hungry, as is the main weapon, so it can be hard to balance using them and refilling ink in the middle of combat. The inkzooka doesn’t protect you from being splatted, and also gives away your location, making you a prime target. It’s also very hard for the poor little brush to build on certain maps.

If you’re someone who likes to play aggressively and get in people’s faces the entire match you will probably love the nouveau.

More importantly, I highly recommend this brush for anyone who normally uses mid-range weapons and wants to try out a brush. The learning curve is definitely far more forgiving than the vanilla so it’s much easier to pick up for squids who aren’t quite accustomed to close combat yet.
