We're calling this one the Floaty Explosion. Use the Floaty Fun part with a Torqscrew and then unleash a Shellacker upon those Salmonids. Scatter some Bombloons around during the Shellacker cooldown for even more explosive fun.

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Here's one we call the Invincible Mitt. Combine the high attack power of the Meteor Mitt with the Dash Bomb's Next-Gadget Damage part, and we think you'll see some interesting results.

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

We call this one the Limitless Tether Wail. Maximize the strength of your Tether Wail by taking advantage of the agility of the Speed Tank—then add a Reel 'Em In part to attract more Salmonids, line them up, and finish them off!

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

How are your raids going? We've got some newly researched example builds we'd like to show you. We think you'll find them interesting, but keep in mind there's no right or wrong here. And if you have any favorite builds of your own, feel free to let us know! #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Deep Cut may be stranded and surrounded by Salmonids, but they’re still keeping it cool. #SplatoonRaiders drops in 2 days!

1569145

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Only 3 days until the #SplatoonRaiders adventure begins! The Spirhalite Islands are flush with ferocious Salmonids, including some with strange new evolutions. Are you ready to tackle them?

540677

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

The guides contain information about the gear you obtain as well as the ecology of Salmonids. It can be good to look through them once in a while and immerse yourself in the knowledge!

216732

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Big Man will record the information you gather in your adventures. The Hoard contains what secrets of the Spirhalite Islands you've learned, and you might find some details about the history of Deep Cut too.

313522

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

There are lots of Salmonid Relics to find on the Spirhalite Islands. Rumor has it that holding them can grant you a mysterious power. Surely such artifacts are worth a fortune! #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Summer greetings! The Squid Research Lab hopes you're keeping cool out there and finding some time to kick back. Deep Cut seems pretty unbothered with the glaring sun of the Spirhalite Islands, probablly because they grew up with the rugged climate of the Splatlands.

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

This creature has two large wing-like appendages. We...think it's a Salmonid, but we're not entirely sure. From the only reference materials we've been able to obtain, all we can deduce is that it is extremely violent. #SplatoonRaiders

210917

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Scrappers are Salmonids that charge forward on vehicles with attached shields. If you attack the shield, it might malfunction and stop them in their tracks. While they work on repairs, you can circle around behind them to attack.

16611

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Maws hide in ink and stage surprise attacks from below. The Maws of the Spirhalite Islands have strong plating on their undersides too, so try to hit them in the back instead. #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The Bombloons are a gadget for the Tactical Tank. They float in the air & explode when hit by a weapon. If you deploy two or more, they can connect to each other & explode at the same time. Master this aspect of this gadget & you'll clear out a horde of Salmonids with one blast!

06812

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The Shellacker is a gadget for the Power Tank. Charge it up and it will launch a round that can unleash a devastating explosion. While a fully charged shot is incredibly powerful, finding the time to charge up can be a challenge.

37815

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The Booyarang is a gadget for the Speed Tank. It stops mid-air when thrown, pauses, and then returns to your hand. With good positioning and good clearance to throw it, you can hit a lot of Salmonids, especially if you move to the right spot while waiting for it to come back.

212819

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Drizzlers fire shots that create rainclouds of ink while hiding behind the protection of armored umbrellas. These Salmonids are most vulnerable right when they shoot, as the recoil causes their umbrella to flip. Sending their own rounds back at them is also a great way tactic.

17811

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Slammin' Lids pilot a disc-shaped flying vehicle. They create a force field underneath themselves and spawn in Lesser Salmonids. If you enter the force field, they'll try to crush you by falling down—but if you use that to get on top of them, you'll have the advantage.

1729

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Flyfish are Salmonids that fire missiles from their shoulders to attack you from afar. On the Spirhalite Islands, the Flyfish has thinner armor on its cockpit than normal. Hit the Smallfry piloting it to take it out—it's a small target though, so line up your shots with care!

715624

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

The Splatana flings ink with each swing. Use a charged slash to lunge forward and unleash in a wide arc. This weapon could give you the edge you need in close quarters with the Salmonids—and check out those nifty rotating blades!

010214

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Stringers fire ink in multiple directions simultaneously. Charge them up to not only increase your power and range, but also to cause the ink you shoot to explode! Find a safe position to shoot from and you can inflict loads of damage.

19712

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Brushes are lightweight weapons that offer quick movement while inking. Swing them to fling ink in a wide arc. If you attack fiercely while darting in and out of range, you can run circles around those Salmonids!

17316

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Blasters shoot ink that explodes in the air. The explosion hits a big area, so aim for groups of Salmonids!

25912

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Brellas have both offensive and defensive capabilities. Press the fire button to shoot ink, and hold it down to open the umbrella and protect yourself. If you keep holding the button, you can launch the umbrella forward. #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

The Splatoon 3 x Splatoon Raiders Collaboration Splatfest is a wrap, and with a 365p score Team Power has secured the win! Thanks as always to everyone that got in on the fun, and be sure to claim your super sea snails in the plaza.

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

If you're adventuring on your own, you can still get temporary help from someone by requesting help online. This feature will be unavailable for a while after you clear a raid with it, so call for help with care! You can also volunteer to help other players by selecting Go Help.

310111

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

#SplatoonRaiders is mainly a single-player adventure, but up to four players can also team up online or via local wireless. Create a room for your friends, secure it with a password if you like, and progress the story together!

320124

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

You can also get outfits by scanning amiibo figures. The Shiver, Frye, and Big Man figures launching on the same day as Splatoon Raiders each have matching outfits you can obtain. You can also tap other Splatoon series amiibo figures to get Bite Waders.

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Even on a deserted island with no clothing stores, the Mechanic makes sure not to neglect fashion. Customize your look with outfits you earn by progressing in the story and clearing certain objectives. #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

The Splatoon Raiders Collaboration Splatfest kicks off later today at 5pm PT in #Splatoon3! Are you sprinting with Team Speed, playing with Team Power, or getting tricky with Team Tactics?

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The Refill Steelhead has a huge bomb injected with a massive amount of drool. The bomb will jump around and explode three times, so watch out!

18418

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The Fish Stick is a Boss Salmonid made up of a tall pillar and a platoon of eight Smallfry. You can climb the pillar to defeat all of the Smallfry, but the Fish Sticks of the Spirhalite Islands can also be brought down to earth by attacking the propellers at the bottom.

16915

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The Smoker is a Boss Salmonid that creates flavor-enhancing clouds of smoke that harden the scales of nearby Salmonids. We advise you to prioritize dealing with them as soon as you can.

14610

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The Steelhead is a Boss Salmonid that inflates a bomb on its head and throws it at you. It's vulnerable while the bomb itself is being inflated. Though covered in hard scales, it seems the Steelheads of the Spirhalite Islands do take minor damage from body shots. #SplatoonRaiders

314619

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The Hi-Fiver is a gadget for the Tactical Tank. It shoots five lines of ink in a radial pattern which also bounce off terrain. These lines remain wherever the ink passed and inflict damage on any Salmonids that touch them. Good use of the terrain will reward you with many hits!

29112

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The Splatellites are a gadget for the Power Tank. They spin ink around you in a protective circle which hits both the ground and nearby Salmonids. #SplatoonRaiders

1769

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The Dash Bomb is a gadget for the Speed Tank. It explodes immediately when used, and the force propels you quickly in a direction of your choosing. You can use it concurrently with your weapon to run circles around Salmonids while shooting ink at them.

114818

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

The music you'll hear in the underground of the Spirhalite Islands comes from a Salmonid group called DHA. Their setup is similar to ω-3, using instruments that fit the natural environment to boost morale. Perhaps the cello & timpani resonate with the Salmonid nervous system?

1509127

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

The Flipper-Flopper is a Boss Salmonid that shoots a ring to ink the ground and then dives into that ring to attack. Ink the ground before it lands and its dive will fail, leaving it vulnerable. #SplatoonRaiders

08013

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

The Salivator soars on large wings and creates whirlwinds to attack. Break the bags at the center of these whirlwinds and you'll create an updraft that you can ride high into the air.

110216

Splatoon North America @splatoonnamirror.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

We've had to adjust our profile on the Big Shot Boss Salmonid—it now hops to get around while slamming cannonballs down to produce shockwaves. If you defeat them in a way that causes them to drop those cannonballs, the shockwaves will affect Salmonids instead of you!
