Use

The Kraken is one of the strongest specials in the game, offering invulnerability and able to instakill enemies. Having multiple purposes such as being a panic button special, continuing kill streaks, taking aggro off of teammates, getting into enemy bases, and so on. With very little startup and endlag, it is extremely safe aside from their only downside being able to be knocked back from opponents. It also is affected by Quick Super Jump, Swim Speed Up, and Comeback abilities, allowing players to create optimal builds around their special.
