Ink is the main projectile used in the games Splatoon and Splatoon 2, as well as a way to get around. It comes in a variety of team-based colors, and is stored and measured with the player's Ink Tank.

Ink stains walls and the ground, but goes through grates and glass and can't be splattered on barrels. It allows Inklings to camouflage themselves and ambush enemies. Glass, grates, and certain surfaces can't be splattered by ink.

Purposes

Ink can be used in a variety of ways such as being used as a projectile.

After getting hit by enemy ink in some way, depending on the weapon used, an Inkling or Octoling will get splattered (known as "splatted") and will later respawn. If they are not splatted, the Ink will still give away their location to the enemy team on the map.

Ink can also be fired at the ground, walls, and other surfaces. Once a surface is inked, Inklings in squid form can swim through it, allowing them to traverse the land very fast. When staying still in the Ink, squid form Inklings can hide and ambush enemies and when moving they will only create small ripples.

In Hero Mode , Ink is used in even more ways. Ink Railings allow for fast transportation while in squid form, as Inklings can swim from one end of the railing to the other. Sponge Blocks , when squirted with ink, will expand and then can be used as a platform.

The way to get more ink to use is to swim in ink already splattered on the ground. Ink can also slowly regenerate when weapons are not in use.
