Special Charge Up

Special Charge Up is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. Takoroka gear has a 5× chance of rolling this ability.

Special Charge Up reduces the points needed to fill the special gauge. This allows for more frequent deployment of specials. However, the player still needs to spread ink to charge their special, in contrast to Tenacity.
