In-Depth Ability[1]
Ink Usage (Main) | Ink Usage (Sub) | Ink Recovery |
---|---|---|
83% (20.76% reduction) | 89% (11% reduction) | 118% (15.38% boost) |
Last-Ditch Effort is especially useful for getting an advantage in ranked battles where overtime is expected, as the effect of this ability lasts the whole overtime duration or when the opposing team has 30 seconds or less before winning.
Use
This ability gives a player a significant boost during the final seconds of each battle, increasing Ink Saver (Main), Ink Saver (Sub), and Ink Recovery Up abilities. This makes the player much less likely to run out of ink, ideal for making aggressive last-second pushes during Turf War. This ability is restricted to headgear as a main ability.
As of Version 2.6.0, the ability also decreases respawn time when active. In Ranked Battles, Last-Ditch Effort will also be applied during Overtime, or if the other team's score reaches 30 or less.
