Which Splatoon 2 weapon class uses dual-wielded weapons?

The Splatoon 2 weapon class that uses dual-wielded weapons is Dualies.

Dualies are paired ink weapons held one in each hand. Their defining mechanic is the dodge roll: players can roll rapidly to evade attacks, reposition, or line up a more concentrated burst of fire. After rolling, many Dualies temporarily align their two reticles, improving their offensive pressure while the player remains positioned.

The class was introduced in Splatoon 2 as one of the game’s two new weapon families, alongside Brellas. Examples include Splat Dualies, Dapple Dualies, Dualie Squelchers, and Dark Tetra Dualies. These variants differ in range, damage, mobility, and the number or timing of dodge rolls they support.

Dualies are easy to confuse with ordinary Shooters because both fire repeated ink shots. The crucial distinction is that Dualies are paired weapons with a mobility-focused dodge-roll system. Chargers are long-range precision weapons, Sloshers throw ink in arcs, and Brellas use a protective canopy.
