Ink Recovery Up is anability in theSplatoon series that increases the refill rate of the user'sink tank.

The number ofability points for Ink Recovery Up can be temporarily increased by the following:

Tactics

If the player finds themselves running out ofink quickly, this ability should be considered. Depending on the cause of the ink consumption,Ink Saver (Main) orInk Saver (Sub) may also be good candidates; Ink Recovery Up in use with Ink Savers serves a similar purpose, allowing the player to spend more time using weapons by either prolonging the tank or refilling it quicker. The increased ink recovery from this ability means that less time is needed in squid or octopus form to refill, making it particularly useful inTurf Wars where covering lots of turf with ink is needed. Ink Recovery Up is generally recommended for heavy ink weapons such aschargers andsplatlings, which use a lot of ink before refilling.
