| “ | Same as the .52 Gal, but the loadout grants you more mobility with Seekers and greater offensive capability with Inkstrike. This loadout is great forSplat Zones-- use Inkstrike from a distance to contest Splat Zones. Use the Special Charge Up ability in place of Run Speed Up, as Seekers already give the .52 Gal Deco plenty of room to navigate aStage quickly. | ” | — Splatoon Prima Guide | ||
