Abilities[]
Active Abilities[]
| Name | Image | Charge Time | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grab |  |
0.6 seconds |
Charging your boost before releasing will also make you dash forward. If you hit an animal which is Tier 5 and above at this state, you will be able to grab it. While grabbing, your back will follow the cursor instead and upon releasing, you will receive some knockback. The time you can drag your prey around is determined by the tier of the animal, decreasing as the tiers increase. Your movement speed during the grab is determined by your pressure bar (+75% speed [175% total] at full bar and +125% [225% total] at empty bar).

Strategy[]
- Upon releasing, Giant Squids will be launched away from the enemy. Face your backs towards food upon releasing to regenerate food and health much easier.
- As a grabber, Giant Squids can pin their opponents in order to land hits and kill. It is easier to pin by releasing your prey in the air or against wall.
Trivia[]
- In the early days of the Reef update, The Colossal Squid had an ability like the Giant Squid, but could also roll tanks (like the Anaconda). It was considered redundant and was removed.
- When some tanks were added, it could grab them as a bug. Other grabbers had the same ability.
- Before the Snow and Below update, it had the same stats as the Orca, except that it had Armor Penetration instead of Bleed Resistance
- In an unknown update, it's ability to do DPS (damage per second) to its grabbed target was removed.
