🎯 How to Unlock Parkour Artist
To wield the Parkour Artist power, you need to obtain it via the game’s Power Roll system. Here’s how:
- Earn Power Rolls:
- Free Options: Gain one Roll by achieving the Final Fight (Squid Game) or Rebel ending—Rebel is easier with its split prize. Collect a Roll every 6 hours in the AFK World or progress the daily reward track.
- Paid Options: Purchase a single Roll for 175 Robux or a 10-pack for 1,699 Robux in the Game Store (shopping basket icon). The “Unlock All Rewards” bundle (799 Robux) speeds this up.
- Tip: Save for the 10-pack to boost your odds, as Parkour Artist has an 8.5% chance per Roll (per Discord data).
- Roll for the Power:
- Head to the Power Roll station in the lobby (near the game circle).
- Use your Rolls to pull a power. Duplicates yield 35M Won, so keep rolling if needed.
- Equip the Power:
- Open the Power menu (smiling avatar icon) and select Parkour Artist to equip it permanently until unequipped.
🎮 How to Use Parkour Artist Abilities
Parkour Artist offers three key abilities: double jump, slide, and Smokebomb. Here are the controls and mechanics:

- PC: Press Spacebar twice (first jump, then mid-air).
- Console: Double-tap A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation).
- Mobile: Tap the Jump button twice.
- Cooldown: 3 seconds.
- Use: Leap over obstacles or reach high platforms, especially in Sky Squid Game.
- Slide:
- PC: Press C while moving.
- Console: Press down on the D-Pad while moving.
- Mobile: Tap the Slide button (right side) while moving.
- Cooldown: 7 seconds.
- Use: Dash low and fast to cover distance or knock opponents. Disabled in Glass Stepping Stones and final Squid Game.
- Smokebomb:
- All Platforms: Select from the hotbar (default key: 1 or tap the tool icon).
- Duration: 30 seconds.
- Cooldown: 60 seconds.
- Use: Deploy to blur opponents’ vision, perfect for escapes or ambushes.
Synergy Tip: Chain double jump into a slide for extended mobility, then use Smokebomb to disorient pursuers, especially in Lights Out.
🏆 Strategies for Using Parkour Artist in Each Minigame
Parkour Artist shines across Ink Game’s challenges. Here’s how to leverage its abilities:
1. Red Light, Green Light
- Double Jump: Use to hop over fallen players or reach safe spots during green light phases. Time it with the 3-second cooldown to avoid mid-air detection.
- Slide: Dash forward during green light to gain ground, especially if leg-shot (reduced speed). Slide into opponents to push them, risking Young-Hee’s detection if they stumble.
- Smokebomb: Deploy before sliding to obscure vision, making it harder for others to track your moves.
- Tip: Practice timing in private servers to sync jumps and slides with the doll’s rhythm.
2. Dalgona (Cookie Cutting)
- Double Jump: Leap to the cookie station quickly to claim a spot in crowded lobbies.
- Slide: Use to reposition after cutting, though it’s less effective due to the 7-second cooldown. Slide near players to jostle them, risking their cookie break (avoid overusing to protect your own).
- Smokebomb: Drop it to distract others, giving you a clear shot at the cookie.
- Tip: Focus on precision cutting over sliding, saving the ability for post-cut escapes.
3. Lights Out
- Double Jump: Escape to elevated spots or dodge melee attacks with quick leaps.
- Slide: Dash to close gaps or evade, knocking low-HP players with a weapon (e.g., Fork). Pair with Smokebomb to blind foes before sliding in for kills.
- Smokebomb: Essential for disorienting groups, creating openings for slides or jumps.
- Tip: Use the slide’s long range to retreat to corners, then double jump to safety.
4. Tug of War
- Double Jump: Adjust your position during quick-time events to help balance the rope.
- Slide: Less useful, but slide post-game if your team wins to avoid vengeful attacks.
- Smokebomb: Deploy to confuse the opposing team during critical pulls.
- Tip: Save abilities for the endgame chaos rather than the tug itself.
5. Mingle
- Double Jump: Reach unlocked rooms faster when the platform stops spinning, crucial for exact player counts.
- Slide: Dash into crowded rooms to push out excess players, forcing eliminations. Use Smokebomb beforehand to cause panic.
- Smokebomb: Blurs vision, aiding your slide to secure a spot.
- Tip: Time your slide to avoid overshooting, as the cooldown can leave you exposed.
6. Sky Squid Game (4-8 Survivors)
- Double Jump: Navigate platforms (square, triangle, circle) to reposition or escape the Pole user’s range.
- Slide: Knock opponents off edges, especially on smaller platforms. Combine with double jump to adjust after a slide.
- Smokebomb: Blind foes before sliding for a kill, critical in the 2.5-minute phases where one elimination advances you.
- Tip: Avoid sliding into groups; use Smokebomb to isolate targets first.
7. Rebel Ending
- Double Jump: Flank guards by leaping over cover or staircases in the game hall.
- Slide: Dash to grab weapons or reach cover during the Frontman firefight.
- Smokebomb: Deploy to obscure guard vision, aiding your slide to safer spots.
- Tip: Coordinate with allies, using slides to distract while others attack.
🎮 Advanced Tips for Parkour Artist Mastery
- Practice Combos: In private servers (free in Ink Game), chain double jump into a slide, then Smokebomb to perfect your flow. This is key for Sky Squid Game ambushes.
- Cooldown Management: With 3-second (jump) and 7-second (slide) cooldowns, plan moves ahead. Use Smokebomb during cooldowns to stay active.
- Won Boost: Upgrade with Won Boost (Game Store) to earn more Won (4.56M per player win), funding Power Rolls for duplicates (35M Won each).
- Emote Synergy: Equip traversal emotes like Griddy (Won-purchased) to distract, sliding in for a surprise attack. The “Suii” emote mimics a slide but isn’t functional.
- Avoid Overuse: Sliding into walls or players interrupts momentum. Aim for open paths or precise targets.
- AFK World: Spend 6 hours for a free Power Roll, stacking chances without Robux spending.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use Parkour Artist without Power Rolls?
A: No, it requires a Power Roll (17% chance, 8.5% per Roll). Earn them free via endings or AFK World, or buy them (175 Robux each).
Q: Why can’t I slide in Glass Stepping Stones?
A: Sliding and double jump are disabled to maintain fairness, as they could bypass the tile mechanic. Use them in Mingle or Lights Out instead.
Q: Is Parkour Artist better than Phantom Step?
A: Parkour Artist offers longer-range slides and Smokebomb, ideal for evasion and sabotage. Phantom Step’s three dashes suit rapid repositioning, especially in Squid Game. Choose based on playstyle.
Q: How do I get more Power Rolls?
A: Play for Rebel endings, AFK for 6 hours, or buy the 10-pack (1,699 Robux). Daily rewards also help over time.
