===Use===
===Use===
The {{PAGENAME}} ability is great for sub weapons that consume a lot of the user's ink such as [[Seeker]]s or [[Splash Wall]]s. The ability allows the user to deploy such sub weapons more frequently, as less ink is used per sub weapon because of {{PAGENAME}}. With six sub slots of Ink Saver Sub, an extra [[Burst Bomb]] can be thrown before refilling ink. With one main slot and 5 sub slots, an extra [[Splat Bomb]] can be thrown.

Ink Saver (Sub) is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. [[File:Firefin_Brand_{{{2}}}.png|24px|{{{2}}}|link=SquidForce]] [[{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] gear has a 5× chance of rolling this ability, while [[File:Forge_Brand_{{{2}}}.png|24px|{{{2}}}|link=SquidForce]] [[{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] gear has a 1/2× chance.

Ink Saver (Sub) decreases the ink usage of sub weapons. The revised ink usage of the sub weapon is indicated by the red arrow icon on the ink-tank.

Splatoon

Ink Saver (Sub) decreases the ink usage of each sub weapon by up to 35%.

Use

The Ink Saver (Sub) ability is great for sub weapons that consume a lot of the user's ink such as Seekers or Splash Walls. The ability allows the user to deploy such sub weapons more frequently, as less ink is used per sub weapon because of Ink Saver (Sub). With six sub slots of Ink Saver (Sub), an extra Burst Bomb can be thrown before refilling ink. With one main slot and 5 sub slots, an extra Splat Bomb can be thrown.
