'''Ninja Squid''' is a [[gear ability|gear primary ability]] in the {{Ss}}.
'''Ninja Squid''' is an [[ability]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]''.


Users of Ninja Squid do not leave ripples while swimming in [[ink]] on horizontal surfaces and ramps. However, swim speed is slowed by approximately 10%, though this effect can be nullified with {{Ability|S|Swim Speed Up}} (the exact amount depends on the user's weapon's [[Weight class]]: about 2 mains for Light, 1 main and 2 subs for Medium, and just 1 main for Heavy). This ability does not affect swimming on a vertical surfaces, so ripples will still be visible when swimming up walls. The slight indents left in ink by swimming through it are likewise not hidden, allowing very perceptive enemies to still take notice of the player's presence. Ninja Squid is restricted to [[clothing]] as a main ability and cannot be rolled as a sub ability.

Applicable gear

Ninja Squid is a gear primary ability in the Splatoon series.

Users of Ninja Squid do not leave ripples while swimming in ink on non-wall surfaces (it does not hide ripples when swimming on 'wall' surfaces). The slight indents left in ink when swimming through it still appear. Swim speed is reduced.

Tactics

Ninja Squid is used by players who want to move around the battlefield undetected. Since there are no ripples for enemies to spot while the player swims, they can sneak to a better vantage point or escape a dangerous situation. However, slight indents left in ink can be seen, allowing very perceptive players to still take notice of the player's presence. Ninja Squid is useful for players which want to move into the center undetected.

Ninja squid also reduces swim speed; this effect can be counteracted using Swim Speed Up. The effects of Ninja Squid can be simulated by swimming more slowly, as ripples are only produced when swimming at faster than a certain speed.
