Special Saver

Special Saver is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Each time a player gets splatted, their special gauge is reduced by a certain amount; Special Saver reduces that amount.

Special Saver tends to be helpful when players get splatted just before earning a special, or after earning it but before having a chance to use it.

Tactics
Special Saver can be useful with weapons that have a hard time covering turf such as blasters and some long-range shooters, and for special weapons that require a lot of ink to charge such as the Inkzooka, Kraken, and Echolocator.
