Meet Inksy, a burst-oriented mage in Sparkball. Known for her creative control and significant damage output, Inksy turns the battlefield into her canvas.

Abilities Overview
Spray and Slay (Left Click)
Inksy sprays a cone in front of her, dealing damage to all enemies hit and applying a Paint stack to each.
This is her primary source of Paint application, which enhances her other abilities.
Tips:
Use this frequently to keep enemies marked and prepped for combos.
Spray and Slay is great for scaling up Da Bomb and Graffiti Queen through paint application.
Fine Art (Right Click)
Inksy paints aon the ground. After a short delay, a projectile follows that path, damaging and marking enemies it hits with Paint stacks (once per cast per target).
Tips:
You control the shape, painting around corners or obstacles helps damage otherwise protected enemies.
Excellent for pre-loading Paint before using Da Bomb.
Great for blocking paths or zoning capture points.
Emergence (Space Bar)
Inksy vanishes and reappears at a targeted location, knocking back all hit enemies, applying a heavy slow (0.55s), and dealing AoE damage.
Tips:
Engage or escape: Use to reposition quickly in the middle of a fight.
Disruptive knockback: Push enemies out of formation or away from objectives.
Follow-up potential: Knock enemies into Fine Art paths or Da Bomb zones.
Da Bomb(Q)
Inksy summons amassive meteoroid at the target location, damaging and stunning all enemies hit.
Stun increases duration based on how many Paint stacks they have.
Tips:
Land Spray and Slay or Fine Art before casting for maximum impact.
Use to start a fight or finish off clumped enemies.
Graffiti Queen (Ultimate - R)
Inksy dashes in a target direction, dealing damage and applying Paint to enemies she hits.
After a brief delay, all marked enemies are pulled to her final dash location.
Tips:
Pull for combos: Cluster enemies together for follow-up AoEs like Da Bomb.
Engage tool: Great for jumping into the backline and displacing key targets.
Ensure you dash through as many enemies as possible to disrupt attacks.
Ballin' and Brawlin'
Paint Pressure and Combo Flow
Inksy’s kit revolves around applying Paint stacks and converting them into high-impact plays. She thrives when her abilities are used in a planned sequence.
Use Spray and Slay to build Paint stacks and control space through consistent AoE pressure.
Fine Art lets you hit enemies around cover, get creative with angles, and draw patterns that are hard to dodge.
Paint stacks are the key to burst: stack first, then follow with Da Bomb or Graffiti Queen for full effect.
Offense & Defense – Disrupt, Reposition, Control
Inksy excels at both opening fights and peeling for allies by breaking formation and repositioning key targets.
Defensively, knockbacks and slows buy time or peel divers off your backline.
Offensively, combo Emergence into Da Bomb for crowd control chains that punish overextensions.
Her ultimate can force split-second decisions: dash to mark key targets, then yank them into danger or isolate threats.
Ball Pressure Without Ball Possession
Inksy’s best ball play doesn’t involve holding it, she’s a threat because she’s free to cast.
Avoid being the carrier; your kit loses value if your hands are full.
Use Fine Art to harass defenders and force out cooldowns before your team pushes.
Reposition with Emergenceto cut off pass angles, intercept plays, or collapse on ball carriers.
Use Graffiti Queen to isolate enemies from the ball, or drag defenders away to create a clear scoring window.
Ultimate Impact: Chromatic Collapse
Use the dash to paint key targets—backliners, carries, healers—then collapse them with the pull.
Combine with Da Bomb or Emergencefor a devastating AoE chain.
The pull can separate tanks from their team or drag squishies into death zones.
Use Graffiti Queen as a finisher or initiator—either start the fight by creating chaos, or end it by cleaning up the survivors.
Playstyle Summary
Inksy is a high-skill disruptor who thrives on creativity, control, and calculated chaos. Her strength lies in setting the pace of a fight—dictating where enemies can go, how long they can stay there, and punishing them when they don’t respect her space.
Her job is to:
Apply consistent Paint stacks to set up burst damage and crowd control
Zone and displaceenemies with clever use of drawn projectiles and AoE tools
Reposition rapidly to escape danger, intercept ball plays, or flank squishy targets
Combo her kit creatively, her abilities shine brightest when chained together with forethought
She’s not a frontline bruiser or a backline turret—Inksy is a roaming threat, a painter of traps, and a playmaker who forces enemies to fight on her terms.
