This weapon is decent when tagging areas with ink, support your team by tagging turf when you're not currently in combat.
The Special-Gauge meter fills up fast for this weapon so be sure to paint areas when you are not in combat.
Gain access to the Ink Vac, a special weapon used for protection by absorbing ink shots, by tagging turf as soon as you spawn at the beginning of a match to quickly fill up your Special-Gauge meter!
Use the Squid Swim ability to compensate for the slow movement.
Make sure to stay on your team's turf all the time so you can swim away from harm if the situation proves to be dangerous.
