Tips
- This special is infinite, meaning you can walk with this special without it disappearing, this gives you a lot of time to relocate and aim it.
- Ink Storm damages opponents at a rate 24 damage per second and takes 4.17 seconds to splat from full health. The Ink storm moves at a slow enough speed that if an opponent does not move as it passes over them it may splat them.
- This special can be seen as a pressurizer and a damage dealing AoE, the Ink Storm can be seen as a faster deploying Tenta Missiles, just with lower range.
- There is not much you can do to stop an Inkstorm, because it deploys very quickly. Exit the Inkstorm as quickly as you can, as the damage can stack quickly, you can't regenerate your health in the Inkstorm.
