'''Special Saver''' is an [[ability]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]''.
'''Special Saver''' is an [[gear ability|ability]] in the {{Ss}}.


Each time a player gets splatted, their [[special gauge]] is reduced. Special Saver reduces the special gauge loss after death.
Each time a player gets splatted, their [[special gauge]] is reduced by a certain amount; Special Saver reduces that amount.


== ''Splatoon'' ==
==Tactics==
{{Brand|Zekko|game=Splatoon}} gear has a 5× chance of rolling this ability, while {{Brand|Skalop|game=Splatoon 2}} gear has a 1/2× chance.
Special Saver tends to be helpful when players get splatted just before earning a special, or after earning it but before having a chance to use it.


The maximum amount a player can avoid losing due to this ability is 50% of the level of their special gauge at the time they are splatted (e.g. if a player has a full {{Weapon|S|Special|Echolocator}} charge of 200 points, the player can keep up to 100 points on top of what they would have kept ordinarily). Normally players lose 40%, 60%, or 75% (depending on the [[Special Depletion]] class of their weapon) of their special gauge upon getting splatted, but if they stack Special Saver they can lose as little as nothing.
==''Splatoon''==
In the initial version of ''Splatoon'', on respawn the special gauge would always be reduced by 50%, and Special Saver allowed users to reduce this amount by up to 50% of the total special gauge size so that players could lose as little as 0%. As of version [[Version 2.7.0 (Splatoon)|version 2.7.0]], special gauge reduction upon respawn depends on the weapon. Three special gauge depletion classes were added in the 2.7.0 update: 40% depletion, 60% depletion, and 75% depletion. Special Saver was essentially unchanged, as it still allowed users to reduce this amount by up to 50% of the total special gauge size. So, weapons in the 40% class could reduce as low as 0%, weapons in the 60% class could reduce as low as 10%, and weapons in the 75% class could reduce as low as 25%. Because the 40% depletion class has such a low base loss, only one primary ability and eight secondary abilities (or 34 ability points) of Special Saver are necessary to reduce the points lost to 0%.
===Tactics===
Special Saver can be useful with weapons that have a hard time covering turf such as [[Shooter|blasters]] and some long-range [[shooter]]s, and for [[special weapon]]s that require a lot of [[ink]] to charge such as the [[Inkzooka]], [[Kraken]], and [[Echolocator]].


=== Use ===
===Stacking===
This [[ability]] is very helpful for times when players get splatted just before earning a special, or after earning it but before having a chance to use it.
Points Lost (relative to Special Gauge filled amount) for each [[List of special weapon sets in Splatoon|Depletion class]]:
 
Special Saver tends to be useful at weapons that have hard time covering turf like [[Blasters]] and some long range shooters, and specials that require a lot of Ink to fill charge like {{Weapon|S|Special|Kraken}}, {{Weapon|S|Special|Inkzooka}}, and {{Weapon|S|Special|Echolocator}}.
 
Note that Special Saver preserves an additional percentage of the Special Gauge regardless of the [[Special Depletion]] level of the weapon.  For instance, with maximum Special Saver (50% preserved) and a Medium Depletion weapon (60% lost), a player would lose a total of 10% of their Special Gauge. This means that there is no point in stacking more than 40% worth of Special Saver if a player is using a Light Depletion weapon.
 
=== Gear ===
Special Saver is the main ability of:
{{Gear/S_Headgear|ability=Special Saver|collapsed=true}}
{{Gear/S_Clothing|ability=Special Saver|collapsed=true}}
{{Gear/S_Shoes|ability=Special Saver|collapsed=true}}
 
=== Stacking ===
Heavy Depletion weapons start at saving 25%, Medium Depletion weapons start at saving 40%, and Light Depletion weapons start at saving 60%. The percentages in the table below are added when stacking the ability.

==''Splatoon 2''==
Special Saver is the main ability of:
''[[Splatoon 2]]'' does not have the [[special gauge]] depletion classes that were present in the original ''Splatoon'' post-2.7.0, so Special Saver is once again used to bring a 50% reduction to as low as 0%. It still works by reducing the loss by up to 50% of the total size of the special gauge. Players who get splatted after using but not completing a [[Splashdown]] have their 25% special gauge loss reduced to as low as 0% by Special Saver, and because the base loss of 25% is so low, only five secondary abilities (or 15 ability points) of Special Saver are necessary to reduce the points lost to 0%.

Special Saver is an ability in the Splatoon series.

Each time a player gets splatted, their special gauge is reduced by a certain amount; Special Saver reduces that amount.

Tactics

Special Saver tends to be helpful when players get splatted just before earning a special, or after earning it but before having a chance to use it.

Splatoon

In the initial version of Splatoon, on respawn the special gauge would always be reduced by 50%, and Special Saver allowed users to reduce this amount by up to 50% of the total special gauge size so that players could lose as little as 0%. As of version version 2.7.0, special gauge reduction upon respawn depends on the weapon. Three special gauge depletion classes were added in the 2.7.0 update: 40% depletion, 60% depletion, and 75% depletion. Special Saver was essentially unchanged, as it still allowed users to reduce this amount by up to 50% of the total special gauge size. So, weapons in the 40% class could reduce as low as 0%, weapons in the 60% class could reduce as low as 10%, and weapons in the 75% class could reduce as low as 25%. Because the 40% depletion class has such a low base loss, only one primary ability and eight secondary abilities (or 34 ability points) of Special Saver are necessary to reduce the points lost to 0%.

Tactics

Special Saver can be useful with weapons that have a hard time covering turf such as blasters and some long-range shooters, and for special weapons that require a lot of ink to charge such as the Inkzooka, Kraken, and Echolocator.

Stacking

Points Lost (relative to Special Gauge filled amount) for each Depletion class:

Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 does not have the special gauge depletion classes that were present in the original Splatoon post-2.7.0, so Special Saver is once again used to bring a 50% reduction to as low as 0%. It still works by reducing the loss by up to 50% of the total size of the special gauge. Players who get splatted after using but not completing a Splashdown have their 25% special gauge loss reduced to as low as 0% by Special Saver, and because the base loss of 25% is so low, only five secondary abilities (or 15 ability points) of Special Saver are necessary to reduce the points lost to 0%.

The effectiveness of Special Saver can be temporarily decreased by Respawn Punisher used by any player.

Stacking

Points lost (relative to special gauge filled amount) for when getting splatted after using but not completing a Splashdown, and every other case:
