The above is just my recommendation of the best abilities in Splatoon 3. Based on your playstyle and the gear you use, you might feel some ability placed on the A or B Tiers should be higher. That is fine, as your mastery of the game will allow you to use your gear better. This Tier List should be most beneficial to beginners and those who are new to Splatoon 3, but plenty of veteran players can also find it useful.
S Tier abilities
Here are the reasons why S Tier abilities are the best in Splatoon 3. In case you find them interesting I suggest you change the main ability of your gear and set it as them.
- Ninja Squid: When swimming in inked ground your Inkling or Octoling will leave no trace behind. While this is pretty useful, it does reduce your swimming speed a bit.
- Last-Ditch Effort: In the last 30 seconds of battle, it will boost your weapon-ink efficiency and the ink-recovery rate.
- Swim Speed Up: This ability increases your movement speed while swimming (in swim form).
