Tenacity is a gear primary ability in the Splatoon series.

Tenacity gradually fills the special gauge only when the user's team has fewer active players than the opponent's team.

Mechanics

A player is active when their player icon on the top of the screen is colored in. The rate at which Tenacity fills the special gauge is unaffected by Special Charge Up.

The rate at which the special gauge passively fills:
[Opponent's] −(minus) [User's] team's number of active players
≤0 1 2 3
Points / second 0 4.32 8.64 12.96
