A squid roll is a fancy movement that can quickly get you out of the enemy firing line. It is one of the many tactics you will need to master to take your game to the next level. First, it allows you to move faster across platforms, and secondly, you can use it as bait against your opponents as they will use all their ink on you, but lo and behold, they can’t get you! This guide will teach you how to squid roll in Splatoon 3.
How to Squid Roll in Splatoon 3
The Squid Roll is performed while swimming through the ink and allows players the chance to switch directions quickly without losing any speed or momentum. To pull the Squid Roll off, you need to move fast while swimming in ink and then press the B button to switch directions immediately. If you can pull this trick off successfully, you will get a brief window of invisibility as the squid jumps off the ink.

While traditionally reserved for the ground, the move can be performed anywhere where the ink sticks. Thus players can easily use it to jump off the walls. If you are having difficulty mastering this technique, use the Practice Range lobby to hone your skills. Another skill that you can learn to complement the Squid Roll is the Squid Surge. The Surge is a wall scaling skill and is only possible after inking a wall. By holding the ZR trigger, you will start moving vertically.
The Surge is a great escape move that also allows players to drop on enemies unexpectedly from above. If you can master it along the Squid Roll, you will improve your winning chances and be a more effective team player.
Splatoon 3 is exclusively available on Nintendo Switch.
