The Baller is a special weapon in Splatoon 2. It puts the user into a Inkling/Octoling-sized hamster ball that protects them and can explode on command.
Appearance
The Baller is a transparent sphere that is just large enough to encase an Inkling or Octoling. There are two white strips of tape encircling the Baller that are ripped off when it takes enough damage. A small reservoir of the user's ink rests in the bottom of the Baller.

Category | Special |
Durability | |
Base damage | 50 (contact) 55 (splash) 180 (direct hit) |
Base duration | 6s (automatic detonation) |
When using the special, an Inkling or Octoling enters the Baller. This allows them to move quickly and blocks incoming damage taken while inking the ground as they move, and also allows them to roll up walls. If is held while in the bubble, or after a set time, the Baller explodes, covering the surrounding area in ink. The Baller being inked results in it shrinking, eventually disappearing, instead of the player using it taking damage. The Baller works similar to Splash Wall in matters of destructive bombs. They explode immediately upon touching it, which can be disastrous for teammates nearby.
It appears in three Octo Expansion Stations:
- A04 Roll Out Station
- H02 Ballercise Station
- J08 F11 Whack-Fu Station

Equipping Special Power Up with Baller increases its durability and explosion radius. The following table shows the HP increase percentage for Baller when stacking the ability.
