Template:Infobox weapon The Inkstrike is a Special Weapon in Splatoon, and is also used by Octostrikers.

Description

Once activated, the user targets a specific area of the stage by tapping it on the width=auto. The Inkstrike will then be launched to that location, creating a large tornado of Ink that splats enemies caught in it.

Notes

“ When Inkstrike is activated, you’re prompted to choose a target area on the GamePad’s map. While choosing a target, your character remains still and is extremely vulnerable to attack, so find a safe corner before initiating Inkstrike. Once a target area is selected, a large, ink-filled missile fires off your character’s back. Upon impact, the missile unleashes a tornado of ink, swirling about and spreading ink over a wide area. This makes Inkstrike extremely effective during Splat Zones. One Inkstrike can usually contest or outright capture an enemy-held Splat Zone. If you’re on the receiving end of an Inkstrike, watch for the swirling indicator on the ground—this is your cue to escape before the missile impacts. When possible, swim away from an incoming Inkstrike—you’re taking a risk if you try to outrun the ink tornado. ”

Judd's Advice
Meow! (An Inkstrike lets you attack any location on the width=auto map! The tornado slowly expands from a central point, so try to be accurate! And don't let foes hit you while your looking at your map! Stay alert!)

Data

The amount of turf an Inkstrike covers largely varies, but typically ranges from 80 to 100BP. Based on the area of each stage and the amount of inkable vs uninkable turf, an Inkstrike typically contributes 4-6% of the total coverage without including the base percentages earned from each Spawn Point (which is typically around 5 to 6BP).

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, or hide behind a wall.
  • 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.

1.3.0

  • — The amount of area covered will be more consistent regardless of where it lands.

2.6.0

2.7.0

Trivia

  • The Inkstrike was originally called "Ink Tornado", as seen in an image from before Splatoon's release.

  • If a location is not chosen ten seconds after activation, the Inkstrike automatically goes off around the user.
