Ink Recovery Up

Ink Recovery Up is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Tentatek gear has a 5× chance of rolling this ability.

Ink Recovery Up increases the refill rate of the player's ink tank. If the player finds their ink running out quickly, this ability should be considered. Depending on the cause of the ink consumption, Ink Saver (Main) or Ink Saver (Sub) may also be good candidates.

Ink Recovery Up has good use for heavy ink users such as chargers and rollers who will spend up a lot of their ink tank before refilling. The increased ink recovery from this ability means that less time is needed in squid form to refill, making it particularly useful in Turf war where covering lots of area in ink is needed, or in a fierce battle where squid form puts the player in risk. Ink Recovery Up in use with Ink Savers serves a similar purpose; to allow the player more use time for weapons by either prolonging the tank or refilling it quicker.
