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 up Bubbler when your allies are being attacked. It could really help them out and save them from being splatted.
- Never activate your 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 Bubbler will automaticall 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 beacuse the bubbler user will bounce back a lot, aiding an escape and later attacking.
- Since being hit while using bubbler will knock the user back, use a longer ranged weapon (such as the Dual or Jet Squelcher) to knock an opponent away or even off-stage
Notes
- Lasts 5 seconds without gear upgrades.
- Bubble is coloured in your team colour
- Must be at least a few metres towards the bubbler to gain the effects.
