Tactics

Super Jumping close to where opponents are is significantly safer with this ability than without it, as it helps prevent opponents from anticipating it.

However, Stealth Jump adds a significant amount of time to when the player is vulnerable while initiating a Super Jump. This largely invalidates the strategy of Super Jumping out of trouble when threatened by an opponent, even with maximum Quick Super Jump.

Version	Adjustments

Splatoon 2

Stealth Jump hides the user's Super Jump landing marker, except for players who are within a certain distance to it; (i.e., the only players who are able to see the landing marker are those who are close enough to it). For players within a certain range of distance to that landing marker, the transparency of that landing marker is increased as the distance from player to it increases.

The distance that Stealth Jump becomes effective at is equal to about 3 tiles in the center area of Inkblot Art Academy. The area of effect of Stealth Jump is spherical, not cylindrical - for example, a player standing directly above a Stealh Jump landing point may still be unable to see the landing point if they are too far above. Even if the landing point indicator is not initially visible, it can still become visible if the player steps within the small radius around it. The landing point of a Stealth Jump user is equally hidden from enemies and allies alike. If a Stealth Jump user jumps to a Squid Beakon and it is destroyed before landing, the ability will still have its effects.
