Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
There are four main ranked modes in Splatoon 3: Splat Zones, Tower Control, Clam Blitz, and Rainmaker. Today, we’re looking at the latter. Generally speaking, Rainmaker is easier to understand (and coordinate) than Clam Blitz. Of all the ranked modes in the game, Rainmaker matches have the potential to end quicker than all the others.

How to play Clam Blitz in Splatoon 3
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Of all the ranked modes in Splatoon 3, Clam Blitz is perhaps the most hit-or-miss. Not because there’s anything wrong with the mode, but because it’s somewhat poorly explained for players who haven’t played it before. Some even consider Clam Blitz the toughest ranked mode, so we’ve written up a guide on how to play it. There’s a lot to like about this mode once you get the hang of it.

The most difficult Splatoon 3 Badges to earn
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
In the past, we’ve written several guides on how to 100 percent complete certain Nintendo games. Side Order was actually one of them! While it’s entirely possible to 100 percent clear Side Order as well as the main story mode, it’s pretty much impossible to truly 100 percent finish Splatoon 3 itself. This is thanks to its Badge system – there are several tasks in the game that you can complete to earn them to display on your profile. Several Splatoon 3 Badges, however, are incredibly difficult to earn. They’re also incredibly time-consuming – we’re talking thousands of hours here – and today we’ve written a list of some of the toughest Badges to earn in Splatoon 3.

How to beat Horrorboros in Splatoon 3
Posted on 9 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
A while back, we published a guide on how to beat Megalodontia in Splatoon 3 and it’s time to talk about the other King Salmonids – particularly, how to defeat Horrorboros in Splatoon 3’s Salmon Run mode.
Horrorboros is perhaps the easiest King Salmonid to defeat of the three currently available in the game. Unlike Cohozuna and Megalodontia, Horrorboros is a flying enemy that attacks from above. It opens its mouth and starts blowing up a green balloon that looks like one you’d see on a Steelhead enemy. Once the balloon is blown up, it will unleash a Booyah Bomb on the ground that inks and damages everything in its path. Fortunately, the attack itself is incredibly telegraphed and easy to avoid – it’s taking down Horrorboros itself that can sometimes be a little tricky. If you’re looking to take down this King Salmonid, then let’s get right into our Horrorboros guide.
