Main Power Up is anability inSplatoon 2, added in version4.3.0.

This ability is available in both primary and secondary gear slots and has different effects on eachmain weapon, even inside the same weapon class.

All gear previously available in the shops that hadCold-Blooded were changed to have Main Power Up instead when it was added.

Effects

The effects of Main Power Up are displayed on theEquipment screen on the info tab for the abilities for the currently selectedmain weapon. The benefits from Main Power Up vary from weapon to weapon. Weapons which acquire increased damage are incapable of decreasing the number of hits required to splat an undamaged opponent, but the damage total for each hit is slightly increased.

Some weapons, like theSplattershot Jr., are granted an increase in ink coverage, allowing the user to get theirspecial weapon quicker. This stacks withSpecial Charge Up but not withTenacity since the quick special charge only counts when inking the ground.

Stacking

Calculating damage

[2]

A =ability points = 10 × [Main Power Up main slots] + 3 × [Main Power Up sub slots]B = (3.3 * A - 0.027 * A^2) / 100C = (mid - min) / (max - min)D = min⁡ + ( max - min ) * lerpN(B, C)result = [base value] * D

max andmid can be found inthe game's parameters as DamageRate_MWPUG_High and DamageRate_MWPUG_Mid. For Main Power Up,min is always 1.0.

lerpN is an interpolation function where:

If C = 0.5 then lerpN(B, C) = BIf B = 0.0 then lerpN(B, C) = BIf B = 1.0 then lerpN(B, C) = BIf C ≠ 0.5 then lerpN(B, C) = e^(-(ln⁡(B) × ln⁡(C)) / ln⁡(2))

For example, Splat Dualies with two primary Main Power Up slots and one secondary Main Power Up slot.

Given:main slots = 2sub slots = 1min = 1.0mid = 1.06max = 1.16base damage = 30
A = 10 × 2 + 3 × 1 = 23B = (3.3 * 23 - 0.027 * 23^2) / 100 = 0.503985906C = (1.06 - 1) / (1.16 - 1) = 0.375C ≠ 0.5, so lerpN(B, C) = e^(-(ln⁡(B) × ln⁡(C)) / ln⁡(2))effect = 1 + ( 1.16 - 1 ) * e^(-(ln⁡(0.503985906) × ln⁡(0.375)) / ln⁡(2)) = 1.080637745result = 30 * 1.080637745 = 32.41913235

This would appear as 32.4 damage in-game.

Damage cap

After the damage cap is reached, adding more Main Power Up does not increase maximum weapon damage but does continue to increase falloff damage. For example, even if aSplattershot Pro reaches 49.9 damage on direct hits within effective range, the lower-damage hits that occur out of effective range still continue to be boosted by using more Main Power Up.

  • Main Power Up is the only ability inSplatoon 2 to be favored by two brands -Toni Kensa andAnnaki.
  • The icon of theInk Damagecolor chip bears resemblance to this ability's icon.
