'''Ink Saver (Main)''' is an [[Ability]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]''. {{Brand|S2|Splash Mob}} gear has a 5× chance of rolling this ability, while {{Brand|S2|SquidForce}} gear has a 1/2× chance.

Ink Saver (Main) reduces the [[ink]] consumption of [[main weapon]]s.
'''Ink Saver (Main)''' is an [[gear ability|ability]] in the {{Ss}}. It reduces the [[ink]] consumption of [[main weapon]]s, effectively allowing most weapons to fire continuously for longer than without this ability.


The ability allows the player to ink with fewer interruptions, and to fight another player without running out of ink. For example, the {{Weapon|S|Main|Splattershot Jr.}} can fire continuously for 30 seconds with maximum Ink Saver (Main), up from 17 seconds. To make aggressive use of both the main weapon and [[sub weapon]] without running out of ink, a player may want to use Ink Saver (Main) with {{Ability|S|Ink Saver (Sub)}}. The ability is useful when using [[roller]]-based weapons, as it increases the distance the player can roll before needing to refill their [[ink-tank]].
The number of [[ability point]]s for Ink Saver (Main) can be temporarily increased by the following:
*{{Ability|S3|Last-Ditch Effort}}
*{{Ability|S3|Comeback}}


==''Splatoon''==
==''Splatoon''==
This ability decreases ink usage of the main weapon by up to 45%.
This ability decreases the ink usage of the main weapon.


The ability is particularly helpful for the most ink-hungry weapons in the game: the {{Weapon|S|Main|Splattershot Pro}}, the {{Weapon|S|Main|E-liter 3K}}, and the {{Weapon|S|Main|Dynamo Roller}}.
