Take advantage of your fast mobility to support your allies by creating paths into the opponent's base.

Create pathways for you and your team to quickly push towards the enemy Inklings base. Use your fast mobility & close-quarters combat potential to start fights and engagements with the enemy.

As you create different entry points into the enemy base, spread ink quickly to maximize turf.

After securing a foothold of different key entry points, keep spreading your ink on untagged areas to maximize the use of squid swimming and to slow down enemies stepping on your team's ink.

It is really good!

Inkbrush in my opinion is the best skirmishers in the game. It’s mobility really helps pick fights and assures that the target can’t escape, plus the special is perfect as it both gives it range and a way to keep multiple enemies busy if ur trying to escape. I think at worst, it’s A tier.
