There are more than 25 abilities in Splatoon 3, and they provide a variety of effects that can be helpful in both Turf War and Anarchy Battle. While the effects that are granted by a majority of the game's abilities are quite straightforward, that is not the case with absolutely all of them. The Intensify Action ability in Splatoon 3, for example, is somewhat complex, and this guide is here to elaborate on what it does.
Splatoon 3: What Does Intensify Action Ability Do?
The description of the Intensify Action ability states that it makes Squid Rolls and Squid Surges easier to do and steadies aim when firing after jumping, and it is easiest to break it down into parts. With respect to the ability's effect on Squid Rolls in Splatoon 3, Intensify Action allows players to maintain more momentum when they use the move several times in a row. For full clarity, Squid Rolls act as a way for fans to quickly change their direction, while also gaining a bit of armor temporarily, and improving the mobility that they provide may be useful to frontline weapon users.
With regard to Squid Surge, a technique that players can use to jump into the air when swimming up an inked wall, Intensify Action reduces the amount of time that the move must be charged before it can be executed. While it is unlikely that many Splatoon 3 players would opt to slot in the ability for this effect alone, it does serve as a suitable compliment to Intensify Action's impact on Squid Rolls.
Finally, Intensify Action decreases the accuracy penalty that is connected to jumping, performing Squid Surges, and performing Squid Rolls. This is sure to be of interest to players that use weapons with notable jump RNG, like Blasters in Splatoon 3, as the ability will allow them to be more accurate when airborne. Indeed, these fans may want to consider dedicating a secondary ability slot or two to Intensify Action and see if it improves their performance.
One last thing to say about Intensify Action is that can appear on any type of gear. However, it is favored by Barazushi and Emberz, making it more likely that fans will see the ability on the items manufactured by those brands in Splatoon 3. Conversely, Intensify Action is unfavored by Inkline, and players may need to use clusters if they want to have the ability on gear from that manufacturer.
Splatoon 3 is available for Nintendo Switch.
