Run speed + Gear for your roller.Kraken is very good. I currently run Krak-on roller, focusing on gear with high defense and special refill. High attack equipment is a joke for this set, so avoid that.
I legitmately went ~5 hours with the Krak-on without remembering that it even had a sub weapon. I now try to tuck it away in places where people won't see it when running by.... because too few people check the gamepad were they're shown on the map.Popping in again, made good use of the Kraken today. I think it's ideal for forcing past enemies (who likely won't follow you) to drop a beacon on their side of the map. Other Krak-On players don't drop beacons nearly enough, they could turn the tide in some bad fights but nobody seems to remember they exist.
That's not necessarily true. If you press 'X' to jump it will bullet towards the enemy's faster than they can swim. Of course this may also be due to delays on turning corners or obstacles but I have never had anyone escape it unless they had backup. That said a lot of people only press 'X' when they are close not to advance faster so I've gotten away from Kraken's when they dont use the attack mode to advance on you.its the same speed as any default squid tough, so you can retreat safely

Kraken is hands down the best special weapon imo, other than ink strike. Gotten me out of plenty close calls and deep into enemy territory. I even killed 3 people in row near a spawn point. Its not a special weapon you use right away, I don't use it unless an enemy is near me.
Lucky! Yes I think a lot of users barrel through using the kraken. Bu that is pretty sweet. I love escaping situations you think you are dead for sure in. Ink striker is second best to me I do love it. Inkzooka is deadly too if you can aim, it was wasted on me unfortunately but ive been killed by it plenty.:3 I escaped a kraken that was out for my ink. I had the disabler debuff on me, so I was really slow. I mainly jumped back and forth between tiny ink puddles I had left on Salt Spray Rig, In the are with the T divider before you get to the very top. I was hoping near and on/off the ledge of death . :D then it ran out, and the roller died . I was very proud of my self. My lower movement speed actually gave me much better cornering so I could out maneuver him. It was really tense, I thought he was gonna get me for sure.
I find inkzooka is really good if you can get your enemies pushed up to base. You can lock them in. But it's meh. Ink Striker to me is the best.
<.< nothing is better than it being the last 3 seconds ... and your teammate knocks you off of the edge right before you could even use it.
Kraken doesn't break bubbler shield as a default splatershot jr main i have saved my self against kraken many times by using the bubble and easily killed the user.How effective will the Kraken special ability be? It can be very useful for charging into the enemy base, and apparently breaks the Bubbler shield. What do you guys think about it?
