List of tactics in the Splatoon manga

Template:Todo As named in Splatoon's fifth issue, one or more of a team's member's item/ability is called a tactic. So far, the Blue, Orange, Pink, and Turquoise teams seem to have a tactic of their own.

Idiotic Syncnication Power in action.

A tactic used by the Blue Team and was seen in Issue 4. While throwing insults at each other, Goggles and Glasses are perfectly in sync.

It can only be used by Goggles and Glasses. It is unknown if this tactic can be used in another battle or if it can also be used by Knit Cap and/or Headphones.

It's Japanese name is アホシソクロパワー (Aho Shisokuro Pawā). Aho translates to things like idiot and fool.

Operation: "This is What Will Happen if I Get Hit"

A tactic used by the Blue Team when training with Rider to try to beat the Purple Team. It was used when they saw Goggles dodge all of Rider's E-liter 3k Scope shots by thinking if he got hit, his jar of pickled plums would get damaged.

Each of the members had different circumstances if they got hit:

• Headphones would think that if she got hit, she'll get fat. A fan translation has her think she'll get acne to be more tasteful and in an official one, she won't listen to music anymore.
• Specs would think if he got hit, he'll have to wear contact lenses instead of wearing his Retro Specs.
• Bobble would think if she got hit, she won't get to pet puppies anymore which shocks Specs. Other translations have her say she'll go to hell that Specs says is too scary.

Thundersquid Jet

A tactic used by Goggles that was first used when training with Rider, it was unintentional as he actually had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it in anymore during the Turf War against the Yellow-Green Team, he dodged all of the team's attacks and Rider's E-liter 3k Scope. It was only named when he intentionally used it against a one on one with Rider.

Triple Inkstrike

A tactic used by the Yellow-Green Team. It has School Uniform, Bamboo, and Stealth fire their Inkstrikes all at once. It was used in their first battle as well as when they were training the Blue Team to take on Rider.

Inkling Army Manual

The tactic used by the Orange Team Army. They all read a manual by studying up on their previous Turf Wars and recording everything in the manual and so they can anticipate future battles. It ends up failing as they started over-relying on it when they were confused when Goggles ended up eating curry with one of the residents in Flounder Heights.

Disco Ball Dance

A tactic used by the Pink Team. They start dancing while shooting ink so they can attack enemies while dodging.

Sub Weapon Hell

A tactic used by the Cyan Team. They all use sub-weapons to take out their opponents without firing their main weapons which gave Mask his notoriety of never swinging his Carbon Roller.

Each team uses a different sub-weapon that splatted one of the Blue Team:

• Full Moon Glasses uses Ink Mines
• Jersey uses Sprinklers
• Designer Headphones uses Disruptors
• Mask uses Seekers

Skull's Territory

A tactic used by the Purple Team. Wherever the range of the E-liter 3k Scope can reach is the area that Skull can splat anyone.
