Wave Tutorials

Normal Tide

Map Specific

  • To begin ink the basket area well, including sides of the raised platforms around the basket. Every little bit of ink could help as this area is so small and gets crowded easily, so escape routes are important.
  • It could be useful to ink  the walls of both slopes that lead up to the basket area. If you get pushed to the grates in front of the basket and have to jump to safey, having some ink on the walls could help you survive
  • If you can ink the walls around the right grates they could be very helpful if static bosses spawn around that area and you have an easy escape route.
  • The map layout is very long so late in the wave you may not want to be too far away from basket if the quota is not close to being met. It may be best to either ignore late static bosses or use specials.
  • If there are many static boss spawns, try and throw eggs from the mid platform to the basket area or onto the left and right slopes so they are easy for you or other teammates to collect.
  • Steel Eels and Fish Sticks are high priority bosses as they can cause problems around the basket area so try and deal with them swiftly. If you have the opportunity to splat Steel Eels early then do this. If you are being targeted by a Steel Eel, you don’t want to lead them up the basket platform as you could get your teammates splatted.
  • Try to limit sudden movements off the elevated areas around the basket that could make Steel Eels that are targeting you, keep curling because of your positioning. You want to try and move in straight lines so it is easier for yourself or teammates to splat the Eel. 
  • It is possible to jump from the front grates to the mid platform below in kid mode if you are ever stuck and need to escape. You can also throw eggs from the mid platform directly into the basket which could be useful if a situation occurred where you needed to throw eggs to help meet quota.
  • Although this may be a bit niche. Be mindful of spending too much time down on either shore side when Big Shots spawn as the area is small and it can get overrun quickly. Make sure some of the inkable walls are inked so you have safe escape routes. Often times it is better to come back to basket to help your teammates keep control of the basket area.
  • Long range specials are very useful on this map for taking care of static spawns as you should always keep an eye on the timer and quota and work out whether it’s worth going out to far spawns.
  • Due to the linear nature of this map Reef Slider can be very useful to splat bosses at the bottom of the slopes or going sideaways from either side of the basket area.

General Tips

  • Always paint walls and areas around the basket before the wave starts.
  • If mobile bosses spawn at the beginning you can throw bombs or shoot lessers from a distance with long range weapons while you wait for them to get closer to basket.
  • Stalling bosses far away and quota management should be monitored closely. If teammates are stalling bosses either help them splat the bosses to get back to the objective or if there are other bosses from another side use this time to lure and splat them close to basket. With more experience your decision making will improve in these situations and it will be reflected in winning games that previously may have been lost.
  • If quota isn’t met with 20-30 seconds left, you should try and prioritise bosses closer to basket and avoid static bosses. Your help is needed at the basket. Instead, use a far ranging special (Killer Wail, Booyah Bomb etc) to take care of the static bosses that are causing disruptions.

Avoid

  • Avoid spending too much time on the far ends of the map. Only use this area to escape if the basket side is overrun or return to the basket area after splatting Stingers, Flyfish or Big Shots.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses far away and there is no opportunity to lure them, help your teammates splat the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side.

High Tide

Map Specific

  • Space on High Tide is extremely limited and there aren’t many places to escape to so good boss management, map control and lesser management is very important
  • Fish Sticks are high priority targets. It may be best to ignore the eggs from the Fish Stick as it can take up some time waiting for your ink to re-charge after each egg throw. If there are other Salmonids around that are causing problems, splat them first.
  • If the path to Slammin’ Lids is blocked, you could use Fish Sticks to get to the high ground and shoot down Lids.
  • Crowd control specials can be very helpful on this wave type if things snowball or you sense a potential snowball and try and stop it from occurring by being pro-active with your specials.
  • When Steel Eels spawn, splat them as early as possible if you are able to. If not you don’t want to lead them up the basket platform as you could get your teammates splatted.
  • Try to limit making sudden movements off the elevated areas around the basket that could make Steel Eels that are targeting you, keep curling because of your positioning. You want to try and move in straight lines so it is easier for yourself or teammates to splat the Eel. 
  • Flyfish that spawn on the right grates can be difficult to reach at times if there is too much going on so a special may be needed if it is causing problems. When throwing bombs in the Flyfish baskets ensure you aren’t too close to teammates and get each other splatted by the missiles.

General Tips

  • Listen for the sounds of the tides changing so you don’t get splatted to the rise of the tide.
  • Luring can be a lot more difficult and unnecessary in most cases, so prioritising slaying can be helpful to avoid snowballing.
  • High Tide can be more hectic than other tides. You want to remain mobile and be constantly splatting bosses and turfing.
  • Specials are important on this wave type as it can snowball very quickly.

Avoid

  • Do not group up at the basket for long periods. If there are Flyfish on the field that small area will get overwhelmed quickly and can result in multiple teammates getting splatted.

Low Tide

Map Specific

  • The basket area here is very small with some grates in front of it so you do not want to over lure and bring too many bosses around the basket area. Splat bosses earlier and keep the basket area clear.
  • Big Shot cannons spawn very close to the shore so other Salmonids can spawn very quickly here so if you do have a chance to splat Big Shots quickly then go ahead. If there are multiple Big Shots and other Salmonid, a crowd control special can be very useful
  • If the basket area does get crowded, longer range weapons can retreat to the slopes and splat Salmonids from a far and run the eggs.
  • It’s fairly easy to hop over the gap from one side to the other near the shore, use this if you need to escape or to help you quickly get to a static boss spawn.

General Tips

  • If you need relief or want the Stingers to target you so teammates can take them out safely, use the back of the map if required.
  • If static bosses spawn at the bottom of the map and they are difficult to reach and quota is struggling to be met, if you have Killer Wail, Inkjet, Crab Tank, Booyah Bomb or Triple Inkstrike you can easily splat these bosses from a distance and get back to basket to help with quota.
  • If going after static bosses, always plan an escape route so you won’t be trapped

Avoid

  • Avoid spending too much time at the far ends of the map. If you splat Stingers here and the eggs look risky it is often best to ignore them and get back to the basket area. If you get splatted here it takes a long time to get back.
  • Steelheads can be troublesome if they are allowed to throw bombs at the basket after approaching from the water. Long range weapons should not ignore Steelheads.
  • Do not stun Scrappers on narrow paths as it can be very difficult to splat them, be patient and let them come towards the basket area first.
  • Slammin’ Lids can be block narrow paths so if you are able to splat them early, be sure to do so.

Goldie Seeking

Map Specific

  • Important: There are 2 possible strategies for Normal Tide, however we have selected the one that we think is the easiest to understand. The alternative strategy can be seen in this graphic by Kenshiro
Strategy:

A + B high: Goldie is in C
A high + B low: Goldie is in H
A low + D high: Goldie is in E or F
A low + D low: Goldie is in G

Normal Tide

*Click to enlarge images

Figure A

Based on Figure A start by opening gushers H and A. If A is low and H is high then the Goldie is in gushers G or F.

Figure B

Based on Figure B if gusher H is low and A is high then the Goldie is in gushers C or B.

Figure C

Based on Figure C if gushers H and A are both low then the Goldie is in gushers D or E.

High Tide

*Click to enlarge images

Figure D

Based on Figure D start by opening gusher C. If gusher C is high then the Goldie is in gusher A.

Figure E

Based on Figure E if gusher C is low then the Goldie is in gushers H or G.

General Tips

  • Goldie Seeking is a Hot & Cold Mini-game where High Gushers mean you are close to a Goldie and Low Gushers mean you are far.
  • Start searching for the Goldie immediately, when there’s any downtime. Not looking for the Goldie quickly enough is one of the main reasons quota fails happen during Goldie seeking. Long range weapons should prioritise searching for the Goldie as they can open gushers from afar which saves valuable time.
  • When searching for the Goldie, try and memorise the patterns that we have suggested below.
  • Rollers can be used in front of the Goldie to extract more eggs. Hold ZR and move your stick left and right slowly, especially strong with Dynamo and Flingza rollers. See: Roller Strategy by Marty
  • Common practice in Goldie Seeking is to open gushers alone so if you are in a squad the team should split up and after opening the first gusher the player should use “This Way!” if the gusher is high or “Booyah!” if the gusher is low so teammates on opposite sides can open their gushers. In Freelance this usually isn’t possible unless you are teamed with experienced players. So you will have to rely on yourself and some good luck.
  • To learn Goldie Seeking strategies in a more interactive way visit Gungee’s awesome Salmon Learn website (Splatoon 2 maps only at the moment).

Avoid

  • Do not open gushers when the Goldie has already been found.
  • If gushers around you are low that indicates the Goldie is further away so do not open more gushers in that area.
  • Do not ignore lessers.

Goldie Rush

Map Specific

  •  This is quite a difficult map for Goldie Rush if the team are not all in sync. You want to stay close together and splat the horde. If you feel more confident you can position yourself at the top of the the left or right slopes and splat Chum early so the basket players have less to deal with.
  • A good strategy is to stand around the ramp to the left of the basket with strong frontline weapons in-front.
  • When employing this strategy it is very easy to get wiped if the frontliners get splatted. In Freelance this can happen quite often, so you may be best served to play it safer towards the back and if teammates get splatted use your specials immediately, if you feel unsafe.
  • In Freelance you may see players use the walls around the right grates to stall the horde by wall clinging. This is the only way they may feel safe. Although this is not a great strategy you may have to adapt to it and run eggs/support them as best as you can.

*Click to enlarge images

Figure A

Frontliners can splat Chum early so the basket players only have to deal with a small amount of Chum and Goldies at the basket. You can see in this example of the player taking advantage of the straight slope and releasing their brella to damage the horde. See Figure A

Figure B

Backline weapons should try and be the furthest back and be at a safe distance to stay safe if players in front get splatted. However you must still be active with splatting and running eggs. See Figure B

Figure C

Rollers and frontliners can position themselves around this ramp to splat Chum and Goldies, so their eggs land close to basket. See Figure C

 

General Tips

  • Be aggressive and keep shooting the incoming lines of Salmonids when you know you can. The moment the team stops their offensive pressure, the Chums and Goldies can easily overwhelm you and cause a team wipe very quickly. It’s very important to splat the Goldies especially if you have a high DPS weapon.
  • If you have aggro (Glowflies on you) and you’re noticing that you won’t be able to take out the enemies coming at you alone, Jump onto a nearby painted wall to buy time for yourself and your team to survive, and get eggs in. Especially useful in emergencies and if there is an abundance of eggs.
  • Rush Wave has fixed intervals similar to a normal shift when a new wave of Salmonids / Chums spawn, that depends on your Hazard Level – this is also the same interval that changes the glowflies on the targeted player! Learning these intervals will help you prevent getting surprised! Chart by Minaraii
  • Goldies spawn for every 20 NEW CHUMS Spawned – this is very important to know so if you and your co-workers don’t splat enough Chums, no new Goldies will spawn.
  • Roller type weapons should stay near the basket and keep rolling forward slowly to create a wall of defense for the team. This takes out all incoming chums and slows down/weakens Goldies for teammates to finish them off. If you have Dynamo, roll slowly to be ink efficient. Stop moving but continue to hold ZR to refill your ink.
  • Splat and Tenta Brella users should launch their shield as much as possible to create a similar defensive wall effect, though slightly more limited.
  • Chargers deal piercing damage so shooting in straight lines can deal good damage. Except for Snipewriter and Bamboozler
  • To maximise damage spread from Sloshers, arch your shots a little higher to deal damage using the full range of the sloshes.
  • IMPORTANT: Specials. Wave Breaker is very useful in filtering Chum and reviving teammates. Inkjet is the best special in this mode especially when you are down 1-3 teammates.It is wise to use Inkjet if you are being targeted so you can move the horde away from an area to allow teammates to run eggs safely while you shoot the horde. Booyah Bomb is very useful at allowing you to stay safe, revive teammates and clear an area. Use your Specials to help compensate for the lack of dps when teammates are down. Be careful when using Reef Slider with the Glowflies on you, it is highly probable you will be splatted. Crab Tank is very strong in turret mode and it is possible to roll some Chum but be careful you don’t get splatted when doing this. Killer Wail and Triple Inkstrike are not the best for this wave but if situations are dire then special usage is better than no special usage.

Avoid

  • If eggs fall to the far from basket it is often best to ignore them as teammates can get overwhelmed with one less player or the Glowflies could switch to you and get you splatted.
  • Wall clinging should only be used if the Glowflies are targeting you and there are many eggs which the team are struggling to run. It allows them time to run eggs safely and can buy some time to revive splatted teammates. Keep in mind that after wall clinging there is large pile up of Chums/Goldies now. Wall clinging for too long will cause Chums to jump up and splat you instantly.

Cohock Charge

Map Specific

  • Try to use the Right and Left cannons to keep on top of boss spawns. Low Tide is quite small so bosses can pile up quick. You can target bosses on either side of the map from both cannons meaning you won’t need to travel to other cannons for far statics. 
  • The cannon that is positioned in front of the basket on the left can put you in a risky place – you’re very liable to sneaky Maws, Cohocks and other damage. The two cannons behind provide better safety and view of what is spawning. 
  • Fish sticks can block shots so it’s worth attempting to splat them before they land.
  • Slammin’ Lids can block other bosses and spawn lots of Cohocks so it’s wise to splat them as soon as you can.

General Tips

  • Make sure at least one person is in a cannon at all times. If no one is in a cannon to shoot the incoming waves of Cohocks, the basket will get overwhelmed extremely quickly.
  • Prioritise Stingers, Flyfish and Big Shots. These bosses have a habit of targeting players in cannons and pinning them down, effectively disabling the use of the cannons altogether. Once the cannons are unusable, the wave is usually lost.
  • A cannon shot can OHKO a Flyfish if you shoot right above the pilot. Otherwise you don’t have to be perfectly accurate when dismantling a Flyfish. See this demonstration by Nick
  • Cannons can also OHKO Fish Sticks before they land. See this demonstration by Reyko
  • When luring bosses if you are inside a cannon or on the map try and damage/splat Cohocks while you wait. However be wary of stunning Scrappers and slowing down the luring too much. If the basket area is getting overwhelmed then ignore luring until it is relatively clear.
  • Egg runners should be aware of Maws and Drizzler torpedoes so cannon users are protected. If egg runners see mobile bosses spawn you can wait and let them come closer.
  • Often it can be difficult to see a Maws approaching while in cannons so it is important to listen out for the sound that Maws makes as it approaches, jump out of the cannon until you find out who it is targeting. As an egg runner if you see a Maws targeting a cannon user try and splat the Maws with a splat bomb throw and then revive the player after.
  • You may have to give up on cannons to help run eggs if your egg runners are overstaying at the spawns.

Avoid

  • If someone is already in cannons do not waste time by fighting over the cannons instead play your role as an egg runner. If you do take up a cannon do not constantly leave the cannon and let bosses and Cohocks pile up.
  • As an egg runner do not guard far eggs or spend too much time far away from the basket as this slows down lures and can cause problems meeting quota.
  • Cannon users should avoid splatting mobile bosses far from basket if possible.

Mothership

Map Specific

Normal Tide
  • If you have a long range weapon, it might be better to stay at basket and shoot the Chinooks from there. If the coolers are headed closer to basket, let them come over the grates before splatting them as this will ensure the eggs drop closer to basket.
  • You may want to try and split the team into 2 on each side of the map. Where 2 shorter range weapons are closer to the shore and able to throw eggs up towards the basket area or the slopes for the players closer to the basket to assist and run those eggs.
  • You can throw eggs into basket from the mid platform.
High Tide
  • This map is very small on High Tide so you must try and keep on top of cooler management so you aren’t overrun by Lessers.
Low Tide
  • Similar to Normal Tide you may want to split the team into 2 on each side of the map. Where 2 shorter range weapons are closer to the shore and able to throw eggs up towards the basket area for the players closer to the basket to assist and run those eggs.

General Tips

  • Keep running eggs! In less experienced groups, if even a single player isn’t running eggs consistently, meeting the egg quota can become very difficult. It can become easy for players with longer range to get into a habit of doing nothing but shooting down coolers. This is only effective in very specific scenarios.
  • Split your team up to different parts of the map, to maximise the amount of coolers and eggs the team can handle. If one area isn’t covered by any player, coolers will start to pile up in that area which can cause issues.
  • Some blasters and the explosher can either clip the top of the Mothership or arch their shots on top of the Mothership for extra eggs when it is at basket.
  • When the Mothership is departing the basket, if your weapon has enough range, you can aim at the highest point in the centre to shoot a few more coolers.
  • Eggs come from splatting the Chinook and not the cooler itself, this can be useful when you are slightly late to a cooler.
  • Try to take out the nearby coolers first and leave the far coolers alone. This way, more coolers will spawn closer to basket => less timing running far eggs.
  • Specials: you can use Crab Tank turret mode to deal huge damage to the ship and cooler bunch at the end. Triple Inkstrike and Killer Wail are fair options, but make sure to use it before the Ship is repelled to get the cooler bunch.
  • Note: the Mothership will attach to basket in two passes: about 65 seconds left and 15 seconds left. Make sure you are near basket to help fend off the Ship.
  • Keep and eye out for Snatchers that could possibly help bring far eggs to the basket area.

Avoid

  • Do not ignore lessers and let them pile up.
  • If coolers are flying towards basket, don’t splat them far away.

Grillers

Map Specific

  • Make use of the right side below elevated basket platform to manipulate the Grillers into exposing their tails to your teammates. You can jump up to the basket platform to change their direction and stay safe. However, pay attention to what your teammates are doing so you don’t let the Grillers run them over and vice versa. You don’t want to bring Grillers up the to the basket platform.
Griller Positioning

*Click to enlarge images

Figure A

Ideally this is where you want to be positioned and splat Grillers as non-targeted players. You can get quick, early stuns if a non-targeted player is on the platform near the right grates and others can be positioned to the right of the basket. See Figure A

Figure B

If you are the Griller target, you do not want to lure the Grillers up to the basket platform. Ideally you could stand below this platform on the right and as the Griller approaches, jump up to basket platform and shoot it’s tail easily. See Figure B

Figure C

If Grillers spawn from the left, you can adopt this position to shoot the Grillers early if you are not the Griller target. If you are the target, try and go to the right side of the elevated basket platform and jump to the basket platform to shoot the tail. See Figure C

General Tips

  • It is good to have one cleaner who focuses Smallfry. This typically applies to most Brellas, Rollers, and Sloshers. In large numbers, Smallfries can cause massive problems during Grillers, and can stop your team from getting stuns effectively. Weapons with low damage, or rollers should especially be taking on this role.
  • If there are powerful long range weapons like Splatling or charger their job is usually to focus stunning/shooting the Grillers. The other weapons can flex but be sure to help each other if smallfry are overwhelming.
  • When using Slosher it is possible to arch your shots over the Griller and deal damage to the tail if you aim correctly.
  • If a pile up is occurring or the quota is struggling to be met, specials should be used. Killer Wail is able to target two Grillers, stun them and deal a decent amount of damage or splat them if they are already weakened. Inkjet can be used here and it’s often a good idea to hover over the basket for extra elevation, safety and better angles. Triple Inkstrike and Booyah Bomb both do sufficient damage to Grillers enabling them to be stunned and weakened. Reef Slider can go through Grillers and cause a quick burst of damage but be mindful of where you start the Special and where you will end up as you might get splatted by either the Grillers or Smallfry. When using the turret mode of the Crab Tank, ensure the Grillers are not targeting you and that you are somewhere safe, ideally on top of the tower, so as to get maximum use out of the Special. Wave Breaker is very good for dealing with Smallfry but be mindful where you place it as the Grillers can destroy it.
  • Grillers can be lured away from basket to give players some time to collects eggs or clear Smallfry. This can also be used if players are getting splatted to give others time to revive them so they don’t get overwhelmed.
  • Always know where the Grillers are. Watch the red laser and who the Griller is targeting. This lets you know where the Griller plans to go, and allows you to avoid its path accordingly. If you lose track of where a Griller is, there’s a decent chance it’ll blindside you and take you out.
  • Keep stunning the Grillers! Don’t let up on the aggression towards the Griller tails and consistently shoot them. If a single Griller gets out of control on high tide, a team wipe or quota failure becomes extremely likely.

Avoid

  • Don’t be too erratic with your movement causing the Grillers to splat your teammates. It is possible to wall cling temporarily to buy some time in certain situations.
  • Do not ignore Smallfry especially if you have the strongest weapon for dealing with them.
  • When shooting the Grillers try to avoid body blocking each other’s shots by strafing or moving too much.
  • Don’t wall cling for too long as Smallfry can splat you and by doing so there is one less player contributing to splatting Smallfry/Grillers.

Fog

Map Specific

  • Goldie lures are fairly easy during Normal Tide. If you find a Goldie that’s managed to make it near basket try to lure it if you have time. Alternatively splat it there if there are other bosses to worry about, that’s already close enough to help you get the quota.
  • Goldie lures can be difficult during High Tide. Due to the small size of the map and the sheer amount of Salmonids that will spawn sometimes it can be more dangerous to wait and lure a Goldie and letting bosses pile up. 
  • Goldie lures are fairly easy on Low Tide. They only have one route to get to the basket via either slope. So you can move to the other side of the map and focus that momentarily as the Goldie gets closer to basket.

Avoid

  • Do not splat Goldies far from the basket, lure them at all times unless there is a snowball.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses at the bottom and there is no opportunity to lure them help splatting the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side. Long range or low DPS weapons can stay near the basket.

General Tips

  • Functions very much the same as regular Normal, High and Low Tides just with the addition of Goldies which should be lured to the basket. Try and identify them early and work on the lure while also being proactive with boss or lesser splats.
  • Goldies drop random amount of eggs when splatted that can range from just one, five or ten.
  • If you move close to the Goldie you can make it switch targets to you to help the luring process.
  • If the game is getting out of hand then don’t worry about luring Goldies and focus on quota and boss management instead.
  • As vision is impaired be on the lookout for Stingers, Flyfish and Drizzler torpedoes. Always check these spawn locations to confirm. Use “This Way” if you need help.

Avoid

  • Do not splat Goldies far from the basket, lure them at all times unless there is a snowball.
  • If teammates are stalling bosses far away and there is no opportunity to lure them help splatting the bosses and avoid being inactive or spamming “This Way!”.
  • Don’t all bunch together in one area as you may miss lures or risk a snowball from the opposite side. Long range or low DPS weapons can stay near the basket.

Mudmouth

Map Specific

  • Snatchers are especially useful on this map during Mudmouths since they will almost exclusively come from behind the basket, sometimes the right, sometimes the left. This means that they can transport eggs from the side opposite of their spawn side to the basket. Very useful for Mudmouths that spawn in the lower areas. 
  • Prioritise splatting Mudmouths that spawn on the left or right of basket quickly as the pile up of lessers at basket can make it difficult to run eggs or travel through the map.

General Tips

  • An easy mode to pass, just throw 3 Splat Bombs inside the Mudmouth’s mouth to splat the Mudmouth and receive up to 6 eggs from it. Green Mudmouths will spew Smallfry or Chum and gold Mudmouths will spew Cohocks. 
  • Important for powerful weapons to clear Cohocks: For example, the Dynamo can just stand in front of a Mudmouth and roll lessers with ease allowing teammates to throw bombs. 
  • Explosher can slosh into the base of the mouth and it will have the same effect as bombs. See this demonstration by Reyko
  • A charged attack with the Grizzco Splatana can damage Mudmouths. 
  • Crab Tank and Inkjet shots aimed inside the Mudmouth can also have the same effect as throwing bombs. Killer Wail, Triple Inkstrike and Booyah Bomb can splat Mudmouths.
  • Think of this wave as a race. You want Mudmouths to spawn near basket as many times as possible. So if you see a far Mudmouth spawn and your team is collecting eggs, go to the far Mudmouth and splat it safely. 

Avoid

  • As this is a relatively straight forward wave type you may be better served saving your Specials for other waves if it isn’t wave 3.
  • If Mudmouths spawn far away from basket but then after you splat one, more spawn near basket it may be best to leave those far eggs and splat the closer Mudmouths and deposit those eggs.

Tornado

Map Specific

  • If the egg box spawns on the right side then you can use the left side of the map to throw the eggs up the slope and then for the second phase you can throw eggs towards the mid platform. From here it is actually possible to throw eggs directly from the mid platform into the basket if timed correctly. 
  • If the egg box spawns on the left side then you can use the left side of the map to throw the eggs up the slope. However an alternative strategy is to throw the eggs from the left side to the right slope and then for the second phase you can throw eggs towards the mid platform. From here it is actually possible to throw eggs directly from the mid platform into the basket if timed correctly. 

General Tips

  • Another very simple mode; after popping the egg box it is easier if 3 teammates throw eggs into the middle area of the map and 1 person (can be high dps or mobile weapon) picks up and throws those eggs closer to the basket.
  • Lessers will drop down from the sky, usually on top of the 1 person in the middle (They drop in a wide area with the low tide basket as the center). That player should stay mobile while shooting the lessers so they don’t get splatted easily. 
  • At this point, 1-2 teammates that were throwing the eggs from the box should move into the middle and help with throwing eggs closer to the basket and splatting lessers.
  • A good mode to practice Squid Roll to pick up eggs quicker and provide a little extra distance because of the roll to throw the eggs a little further. 
  • Another tip is to “Always keep moving and think of ways to use your ink efficiently while balancing egg throws and lesser control.”
  • Lessers will drop down in three waves: once at the start of the wave around the first crate and then twice around the area where the low tide basket usually is.

Avoid

  • If you have a weapon that can deal with lessers easily then try not to only run eggs but also work on lesser control.
  • When lessers fall from the sky do not be static when firing your weapon, as you will most likely get splatted. Try and be mobile and shoot/run eggs.
