⚡ What Ruby Ink does
The Ruby Squid continuously copies the passive ability of a random pet in your garden. "Passive" here means always-on effects without a cooldown, such as the Koi's egg refund, the Brontosaurus's hatch bonus, the Caterpillar's effect or the Capybara's chill zone. The wiki also notes it can mimic the Llama's 20-minute stampede.
It can't copy cooldown-based abilities, so it pairs best with a team built around strong always-on passives.
⚖️ Does weight matter?
The wiki's ability data gives Ruby Ink no numbers of its own, so there is no weight table for it. What it copies uses the numbers of the pet it copies.
