When thrown, Toxic Mist surrounds a circular area in fog. Opponents caught in the fog move more slowly and gradually lose ink.
Players that stay in the fog for a long time are more severely affected.[1] It takes about 8.33 seconds for Toxic Mist to deplete a full ink tank, even with the high-capacity ink tank that comes with the Splattershot Jr. The fog remains on the stage for about 5.13 seconds before dissipating. Prior to Version 5.2.0, players in a Baller were immune to Toxic Mist.[2]Dualies that perform a dodge roll while they are in Toxic Mist use up 3.5 times the ink.[3]
Sub Power Up increases throwing range and air travel velocity for Toxic Mist.
▲ Adjusted the sound effect caused when an opponent enters the area of effect of Toxic Mist, making it easier to distinguish if they are nearby or far away.
▲ Added effect that forces the amount of ink consumed for an opponent using a dualie-type weapon and performing a dodge roll while inside Toxic Mist to be multiplied by 3.5.
According to the sub and special guide in Splatoon 2, the mist is "The bodily fluids of a certain creature". This creature is unknown but it might be poisonous.
According to the poem of the Toxic Mist mem cake, the mist has a sickly sweet aroma.
