'''Thermal Ink''' is an [[ability]] in ''[[Splatoon 2]]''. The ability is exclusive to [[clothing]], and cannot be rolled as a sub ability.
'''Thermal Ink''' is a [[gear ability|gear primary ability]] in {{S2}} and {{S3}}. It reveals the location of enemy players on the other side of obstacles as a silhouette.


Thermal Ink shows the location of opponents to the player for six seconds after directly damaging them with their primary weapon, but only while the opponent and the player are not closer to each other than a certain distance. The location of these enemies is only shown to the player who damaged them. Enemies are located with a white silhouette, similar to how the [[Sting Ray]] shows opponents. Tagged enemies in squid form will not be visible.
==Mechanics==


==Mutual exclusivity==
{{Incomplete|Need {{S3}} minimum distance in DU|section}}
This ability is found as the main ability only on [[clothing]], so other abilities found only on shoes are mutually exclusive with it; in other words players cannot have them together. These abilities are {{Ability|S2|Ability Doubler}}, {{Ability|S2|Haunt}}, {{Ability|S2|Ninja Squid}}, and {{Ability|S2|Respawn Punisher}}. In addition, since wearing the {{Gear|S2|Clothing|Splatfest Tee}} is mandatory during a [[Splatfest]], these abilities cannot be used for the duration of those events.


==Use==
Thermal Ink reveals the location of players that the user deals damage to with the user's [[main weapon]] as a 'direct hit' (meaning that indirect [[Blaster]] blasts or indirect hits from a [[Sloshing Machine]] or [[Explosher]] do not count in this case), for about 16 seconds.  
Damage must be dealt directly, so indirect [[Blaster]] blasts will not trigger the ability. A direct hit from a [[Rapid Blaster]] will trigger it, however, as will damage reduced by falloff.


The minimum range at which a Thermal Ink-marked enemy is highlighted is slightly greater than the range of the [[Splattershot Pro]] and slightly less than the range of the [[Jet Squelcher]]. Damaging an enemy at close range and then moving further away will cause the enemy to be highlighted as long as the 6-second duration of Thermal Ink has not already expired.
Tagged players are revealed through opaque obstacles via a light-colored silhouette under the following conditions:
* Silhouettes are only visible to the user of the ability.
* Silhouettes are only visible starting from a certain minimum distance away (150 [[Distance unit|DU]] in S2).
* Silhouettes are only visible while the tagged player is not submerged in ink.

Thermal Ink tends to be useful with main weapons (especially long range) that tend to hit opponents but not quite splat them, such as the [[Jet Squelcher]] or the [[Bloblobber]]. Thermal Ink tends to not be useful with main weapons that splat opponents quickly, such as the [[Sploosh-o-matic]].

You can help the wiki by filling in the blanks.
Reason: Need Splatoon 3 minimum distance in DU

Thermal Ink reveals the location of players that the user deals damage to with the user's main weapon as a 'direct hit' (meaning that indirect Blaster blasts or indirect hits from a Sloshing Machine or Explosher do not count in this case), for about 16 seconds.

Tagged players are revealed through opaque obstacles via a light-colored silhouette under the following conditions:

  • Silhouettes are only visible to the user of the ability.
  • Silhouettes are only visible starting from a certain minimum distance away (150 DU in S2).
  • Silhouettes are only visible while the tagged player is not submerged in ink.

Splatoon 2

Bomb Defense Up DX increases the minimum distance required to see silhouettes.

Tactics

Thermal Ink tends to be useful with main weapons (especially long range) that tend to hit opponents but not quite splat them, such as the Jet Squelcher or the Bloblobber. Thermal Ink tends to not be useful with main weapons that splat opponents quickly, such as the Sploosh-o-matic.
