When activated, the Inkling can lock onto up to five opponents using and fire four homing missiles per opponent locked onto.
Tenta Missiles can also locate and briefly track opponents; while aiming and firing, the crosshair will persist on all locked on targets on the user's screen and will follow each target till all the missiles have reached their destination.
After the special is activated and fired, markers appear that show where the missiles land. If missiles are targeting a player, the player will see a ring with arrows (4,5, or 10) around their character showing how many missiles are still left.
Use
- Locking on to as many opponents as possible will maximize the number of missiles that are fired. However, this will also extend the firing animation and leave the user exposed for a slightly longer period of time.
- To prevent this, the player can back away near their spawn which will likely give them enough of a vantage point to lock onto and shoot down most or all foes. The farther the player is, the more chances they will have to track the entire enemy team.
- After version 2.3.0, due to the ability to assume squid form while the special is active, this can be taken advantage of to scout all the opponents and get into a better position before firing.
- Players being targetted by the Tenta Missiles should avoid teammates, as the missiles could otherwise end up damaging an ally.
- Each missile has splash damage so a sizable distance between each missile's landing point is advised.
- In most situations, players will only be able to target up to four opponents. However in Octo Canyon, there are opportunities with five opponents on the screen at once. And in Rainmaker mode, players can target the Rainmaker shield as of version 3.2.0.

Trivia
- The Tenta missile launcher appears to be some modified soda crates, as hinted by the logo which looks like a certain cola brand, and can be found on vending machines around the square. This is further hinted at by the fact that the projectiles that the Tenta Missile launchers shoot look like soda bottles of some sort.
- In Salmon Run, the Flyfish appears to use its own version of the Tenta Missiles.
- Based on word from Nintendo representatives during preview events for Splatoon 2, early versions of the Tenta Missiles may have fired a fixed ten missiles as opposed to the current version which varies depending on the number of opponents targeted.
- As of the 3.2.0 patch, the Tenta Missiles now fire ten missiles when used on a single or two targets.
