Inkling’s greatest strengths are speed and agility. It adds an extra thing for them to have to block and is usually unexpected. We love using the short distance throw in close combat with someone. Since the splash is large, it is pretty easy to hit with. This move is variable, unpredictable, and can do some serious damage. If you just tap the button, Inkling will do a little lob, throwing the grenade right in front of him/her. You can extend the range depending on how long you hold B. Inkling throws an ink grenade at a variable distance that will explode after a few seconds, causing damage in a large area around the explosion and applying ink. It does no damage until landing and isn’t a great damage move in general – the usual trade off for being such a good recovery. One of the best recoveries in the game in our opinion and it can do some damage and box enemies out upon landing. Inkling goes into squid form and shoots upwards. A bit annoying when fighting good players when every second matters and response times are so short. It could be something that will be getting patched, but as of now, it sometimes takes us 2-3 presses of B before inkling will put the roller away. It could just be us, but we find it a bit hard to put the roller away for some reason. If you circle back and hit them with the roller for a second time, it will smash them, sending them flying. When you hit enemies with the roller, they will be dug into the ground and stunned until they shake themselves out. It can be done in the air for a quick way to get across to your opponent, giving them less time to react. Inkling’s side special pulls out the paint roller and runs in the direction you activate it. It can be good for some quick damage and ink, but usually, there are better moves to be using! Side Special (Right or left + B) Inked enemies take more damage from attacks. You can control the direction of the stream by tilting up and down on the stick. Inkling fires his/her gun like a machine gun, damaging and inking enemies in the path. It applies ink and can do tons of damage. Their jab combo is also one of the best around. Landing dash attacks can be pretty easy when done correctly.

Inkling’s dash attack is one of the best and they can be hard to see when dashing because of their animations. If you want to refill during a pause in the action, you can do so when not empty by shielding (L or R) and pressing B.Īttacks with Inkling are super fast and can lay out the damage pretty fast when you’re landing your attacks. Once that runs out, you can refill by pressing B when totally empty. Your ink tank will deplete as you use the moves that apply ink.

When covered in ink, your enemies will also take more damage from your attacks. The ink doesn’t only annoy your enemies, though. They all apply ink in one way or another. We present our official Inkling guide: Attacks and SpecialsĮverything you do, shoot, and splat with inkling revolves around the ink that gets all over the place and on enemies as you perform your smash attacks and specials. Here is our first ever Smash Bros character guide for your viewing pleasure. One of the fan favorites from the batch of new fighters in this game is Inkling – a cute little squid looking thing that inks enemies and dips below the ground when dashing, dodging, and reloading (which you have to do). Super Smash Bros Ultimate brings a huge library of fighters for you to choose from.
