— In-game description.

Ability Doubler is an ability in Splatoon 2. It doubles the effect of each sub slot on a gear piece; as a result, each sub ability is ×0.6 as effective as one main ability.

Mechanics

All ability points (AP) associated with the sub slots on a gear piece that has this ability are added to the user's total ability points again.

The gear with the Ability Doubler ability has a total of 18AP (3 subs of 3AP each, doubled) as opposed to the usual 19AP (1 main of 10AP, and 3 subs of 3AP each). With this in mind, an Ability Doubler with three of the same sub ability will be less effective than gear with the same ability as a main and its three subs.

Usually, the player's gear has a total of 57AP assuming all gear has 3 sub slots, but Ability Doubler gives a total of 56AP.

Tactics

Ability Doubler can be used to achieve certain combinations of ability points that are not possible without this ability. For example, the player can use the Ability Doubler to give 6AP (2 subs) to 4 or more abilities. To this effect, the Ability Doubler is good for utility subs, for example, Quick Super Jump, Special Saver, and Ink Resistance Up, where 3 subs or more (9AP+) would be excessive. Then, the remaining gear can be used for other abilities.
