🎯 What Is Sliding in Ink Game?

Sliding is a movement ability tied to the Parkour Artist Power, one of five powers in Ink Game (Medic, Trickster, Super Strength, Phantom Step, and the Mythic Lightning God). Unlike the Phantom Step’s dashes or Super Strength’s knockback, the slide lets you perform a low, fast dash across the ground, covering a longer range than a standard dash but with a 7-second cooldown. It’s ideal for:

Quick Movement: Slide to close gaps in Red Light, Green Light or reposition in Sky Squid Game.
Sabotage: Slide into opponents to disrupt their focus in Dalgona or knock them off platforms in Glass Stepping Stones (though sliding is disabled in this minigame).
Evasion: Dodge attacks in Lights Out or Sky Squid Game’s brawl phases.

The slide is only available when the Parkour Artist Power is equipped, which also grants a double jump (3-second cooldown) and a Smokebomb tool (30-second duration, 60-second cooldown) for blurring opponents’ vision. Sliding is activated by specific controls and is disabled in Glass Stepping Stones and the final Squid Game to prevent exploits.

🛠️ How to Unlock the Parkour Artist Power for Sliding

To slide in Ink Game, you must first unlock the Parkour Artist Power through the game’s gacha system using Power Rolls. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get it:

Obtain Power Rolls:
- Free Methods:
  - Earn one Power Roll by reaching either the Final Fight (Squid Game) or Rebel ending. The Rebel ending is easier as it splits the prize among survivors, increasing your chances.
  - Claim a Power Roll every 6 hours in the AFK World (resets if you leave the lobby).
  - Collect Power Rolls via the daily reward track (requires consistent logins). The “Unlock All Rewards” option (799 Robux) grants multiple Rolls instantly.
- Paid Methods:
  - Buy a single Power Roll for 175 Robux or a 10-pack for 1,699 Robux in the Game Store (access via the shopping basket icon).
- Tip: Save Rolls for the 10-pack to maximize your chances of getting Rare or higher powers. There’s no pity system, so each Roll has a 17% chance for Parkour Artist.
Roll for Parkour Artist:
- In the lobby, access the Power Roll station (near the game circle).
- Use your Power Rolls to pull a power. Parkour Artist has an 8.5% chance per Roll in Update 2 (community-verified on Discord). Duplicates grant 35M Won.
- If you don’t get it, keep earning Rolls through gameplay or AFK World.
Equip the Power:
- Once unlocked, go to the Power menu (via the smiling avatar icon) and equip Parkour Artist. It’s now permanently available unless you unequip it.

🎮 How to Slide in Ink Game

Once you have the Parkour Artist Power equipped, sliding is simple but requires precise timing due to its 7-second cooldown. Here are the controls for each platform:

PC: Press C on your keyboard to slide while moving.
Console: Press down on the D-Pad to slide.
Mobile: Tap the Slide button on the right side of the screen (appears when Parkour Artist is equipped).

How It Works:

Activation: You must be moving (walking or sprinting) to initiate a slide. Pressing the slide input causes your character to drop low and dash forward, covering a longer distance than a standard jump or dash.
Cooldown: After sliding, wait 7 seconds before you can slide again. The cooldown timer appears on-screen.
Range: The slide covers roughly twice the distance of a Phantom Step dash, making it ideal for crossing gaps or escaping danger.
Limitations: Sliding is disabled in Glass Stepping Stones and the final Squid Game/Sky Squid Game to prevent bypassing mechanics. It’s also less effective if you collide with objects or players, which can interrupt the slide.

Visual Cue: When you slide, your character performs a low, sweeping motion, leaving a brief trail. Pair it with the Smokebomb (hotbar tool) to obscure opponents’ vision for 30 seconds, creating a perfect setup for a surprise slide attack.

🏆 Best Strategies for Using the Slide in Ink Game

Sliding is versatile, but its effectiveness depends on the minigame and your strategy. Here are expert tips for each Ink Game challenge, optimized for Parkour Artist’s slide:

1. Red Light, Green Light

Use Case: Slide to cover more ground during green light phases, especially if shot in the leg (reduces speed). Combine with double jump (3-second cooldown) to leap over fallen players.
Sabotage: Slide into opponents during green light to push them slightly, potentially triggering Young-Hee’s detection if they stumble during a red light. Be cautious, as collisions may flag you too.
Tip: Use Smokebomb before sliding to obscure vision, making it harder for others to anticipate your move.

2. Dalgona (Cookie Cutting)

Use Case: Sliding isn’t ideal for cutting, but you can slide toward the cookie station to secure a spot in crowded servers.
Sabotage: Slide near players to jostle them, risking their cookie breaking (especially on tough shapes like Mona Lisa). Time it carefully to avoid breaking your own cookie.
Tip: Save your slide for repositioning after cutting, as the 7-second cooldown limits its use here.

3. Lights Out

Use Case: Slide to evade attackers in this free-for-all. The long range helps you dart to corners or hide behind objects.
Sabotage: Slide into low-HP players to finish them off with a weapon (e.g., Fork or Bottle). Pair with Smokebomb to disorient groups before sliding in for kills.
Tip: Combine with double jump to escape to elevated platforms, then slide to reposition quickly.

4. Tug of War

Use Case: Slide to adjust your position during quick-time events, helping your team maintain balance. It’s less useful here due to team-based mechanics.
Tip: Save your slide for post-game chaos if your team wins, sliding away from vengeful losers.

5. Mingle

Use Case: Slide to reach unlocked rooms faster when the platform stops spinning. It’s crucial for securing a spot in rooms with exact player counts.
Sabotage: Slide into crowded rooms to push out excess players, forcing them to die or kill others. Use Smokebomb to cause panic before sliding.
Tip: Practice timing your slide to avoid overshooting rooms, as the 7-second cooldown can leave you vulnerable.

6. Sky Squid Game (4-8 Survivors)

Use Case: In this brawl on square, triangle, and circle platforms, slide to knock opponents off edges or dodge the Pole user’s attacks. Each phase (2.5 minutes) requires eliminating at least one player to advance.
Sabotage: Slide into opponents on smaller platforms (triangle, circle) to push them off, especially if they’re low on stamina. Combine with double jump to reposition after a slide.
Tip: Avoid sliding into groups, as collisions reset momentum. Use Smokebomb to blind foes before sliding for a kill.

7. Rebel Ending

Use Case: Slide to flank guards during the firefight against the Frontman. The long range helps you reach cover or grab weapons dropped by allies.
Tip: Pair with double jump to navigate the game hall staircases, sliding past stronger guards to focus on weaker ones.

🎮 Additional Tips for Sliding Success

Practice in Private Servers: Join a free private server (available in Ink Game) to test sliding without pressure. Practice combining slide, double jump, and Smokebomb for fluid combos.
Manage Cooldowns: With a 7-second slide cooldown and 3-second double jump cooldown, time your moves carefully. Slide first, then double jump to escape or reposition.
Use Won Boost: Purchase the Won Boost upgrade (Game Store) to earn more Won, funding Power Rolls for Parkour Artist. Each minigame win adds to the cash pool (4.56M Won per player).
Combine with Emotes: Equip traversal emotes like the Griddy or Cartwheel (purchased with Won) to distract opponents before sliding. The “Suii” emote, where you slide on your knees, adds flair but doesn’t count as a mechanical slide.
Avoid Overuse: Sliding into walls or players interrupts the move and wastes the cooldown. Aim for open spaces or precise targets.
AFK World for Rolls: Spend 6 hours in the AFK World for a free Power Roll, increasing your chances of getting Parkour Artist without Robux.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I slide without the Parkour Artist Power?

A: No, sliding is exclusive to the Parkour Artist Power, which has a 17% drop chance (8.5% per Roll in Update 2). You must equip it to slide.

Q: Why isn’t my slide working in Glass Stepping Stones?

A: Sliding and double jump are disabled in Glass Stepping Stones and the final Squid Game to prevent bypassing the mechanics. Use them in other minigames like Mingle or Lights Out.

Q: Is sliding better than Phantom Step’s dashes?

A: Sliding has a longer range but a 7-second cooldown, while Phantom Step offers three quick dashes with a shorter cooldown. Sliding is better for covering distance; Phantom Step excels in rapid directional changes, especially in Squid Game.
