Press the ZL Button on the Gadget page of your Gear screen to view your equipped parts. It's a good way to help think about your overall gear combos and the big picture behind your builds. You can also press the - Button to save your presets. Pretty convenient! #SplatoonRaiders

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. #SplatoonRaiders

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. #SplatoonRaiders

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! #SplatoonRaiders

The Spirhalite Islands are home to some unique species of Salmonid! #SplatoonRaiders

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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!

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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.

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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 @splatoonusna.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
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

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.

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

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!

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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.

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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. #SplatoonRaiders

You can obtain materials, weapons, gadget parts and more by defeating Salmonids. The materials you get can be used to craft gadgets or facilities on the hideout ship.

Drizzlers fire shots that create rain clouds 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.

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.

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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! #SplatoonRaiders

Inklings and Octolings have beef (fish?) with Salmonids, wild creatures that come ashore and make a mess. These new Seasoned Salmonids in #SplatoonRaiders are extra dangerous with more powerful attacks and increased defense. You can tell them apart by the salt deposits on them.

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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!

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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.

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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!

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

Splatoon North America @splatoonusna.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
