Ink Mine

Ink Mine is a Sub Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
The Ink Mine is an explosive that can be placed on the floor directly under the Inkling who placed it. It is invisible to enemies, unless they have the Bomb Sniffer ability. If any members of the opposing team walk on or stand near the Ink Mine, it will explode in a burst of ink. After a period of time, if no enemies have come near the Ink Mine, it will explode. It will also explode if it is covered in the enemy's ink.

Tips

 * Ink Mines can be very effective in Tower Control. When detonated on top of the tower, it will completely cover the tower in ink and annihilate any enemy players standing on top of it.
 * If you are being chased, you can place a mine behind you as you run and hope the enemy runs into it.
 * Ink Mines are effective in Splat Zones as enemies will usually be within the zones.

Countering

 * Ink Mines are very common in Tower Control, so it is recommended to equip shoes with the ability Bomb Sniffer. You will be forced off the tower unless you use a special weapon, but at least it will give you a chance to jump off, wait for the explosion, and then retake the tower.
