Ninja Squid is one of the best Gear Ability that you can use in the game. While you cannot use it with every gear, having this ability in the Splatlands will be very useful for you. The effects that Ninja Squid has will be quite helpful even though it is not without drawbacks.

While using Ninja Squid in Splatoon 3, you will not leave any trace when you swim in inked grounds. This allows you to sneak up on your opponents and you should always use this with a close ranged weapon.

However, this gear ability does have its own drawbacks. Your movement speed while swimming will become very slow compared to normal. Along with that, this ability will not be useful while you climb walls. While you can improve speed by using Swim Speed Up, there is no solution for the ripple effects on the wall.
