Inkstrike

The Inkstrike is a Special Weapon in Splatoon. Octostrikers also use this.

Description
Like all special weapons, it must be charged before it can be used. To use it, the player must activate it and tap anywhere on the Wii U GamePad's screen to launch it. The Inkstrike will center in on where the screen was tapped, or around the Inkling if not tapped after 10 seconds. It will cause a giant tornado made of ink to appear and will splat any Inklings on the opposing team who are caught in its path.

Tips

 * Because using the Inkstrike prevents players from spreading ink momentarily and requires them to concentrate on the Wii U GamePad, those using an Inkstrike can be easily splatted. When using an Inkstrike, make sure to stay a safe distance away from the action.
 * When an Inkstrike is placed, a large, swirling icon will appear on the battlefield. Quickly evacuate this area to avoid being splatted.
 * In ranked mode, using an Inkstrike directly on top of a Splat Zone or a Tower can turn the tide of the battle.
