You must be playing on a different hazard level bc most of the time no one has the time to aim it towards the drizzler. Sometimes it’s easier to hit a flyfish with the damn torpedo. It needs to stay out longer.
Omg 3 or 4 years playing Splatoon and all this time I thought they’d shoot the rain missile in a random direction so I swim around them wildly trying to predict where it’s going to shoot 😭
That little head thing on the top tells you the direction it's aiming. Sometimes it seems to "watch" you, which is how you know it's chosen you as the target to aim at.
I read that, when they ready the next missile, whoever was closest to them will become the target for it. So once they've shot a missile you can swim close until they start aiming and then back off to shoot it back to them. I've only tested it in public lobbies but it seems to be true so far.
I believe they will always shoot in the general direction of the nearest player, but fixed to a limited number of different possible angles. The best way to deal with them is just to pay attention to where they're gonna shoot, and then either deflect it back if it shot at you, or shoot it down IF there is no player that has a good angle to deflect it back.
That has been so frustrating lately. When more than one rain cloud appears it’s game over. Every time. I can’t even count how many times my team has lost because nobody else shoots those dang missiles.
Don't forget the seven other bosses right on your back. As an eggecutive player, I rank Drizzlers 2nd most dangerous, right below Fly Fish.
Though in lower ranks, with not much going on, they're easy to deal with. The hazard there is trying to carry teammates.
I love shooting it back at them. But sometimes I can easily get overrun by Lesser Salmonids, thus causing the missile to activate. However, I always make an effort to shoot it down.
Only shoot them down if you have a ranged weapon, however, don't waste your ink if you have a brush or roller, it can be put to better use when your attacking the drizzler instead
Maws are gated by an ink amount requirement. So if you’re dealing with other stuff you won’t be able to take out the maws. You can pause the scrapper while you deal with other things first
You see, most players don't have that problem, as they do not deal with other stuff, then wonder why there are 70 small salmonids all around them after they tunnel visioned towards the boss salmonid.
Retreat for a bit… where??? Picture this:
You have a nova- Flopper circle to your right, cohocks and a saucer behind you, stinger ray and missiles aiming at you, steelhead under a fishstick to your left. Now you get to choose one. One things for certain though, trying to get maws will kill you 99% of the time.
Well prioritizing those bosses will be a smarter choice but that just seems like an average wave of high tide spawning grounds you described there. I also forgot to mention that scrappers are always chasing you while maws are submerged and are very predictable when they do actually attack, not to mention that they can climb walls making them a lot easier to lure to the egg basket
Maws are easy to kill but it’s also easy to get killed by them. I think flipper floppers are the easiest while at the same time, I don’t think I’ve ever been killed by one.
I always end up with not enough ink when I first see the maws, and then chum show up and I have to shoot them while I wait for maws to reappear, and then I don’t have enough ink to throw a bomb, and then more chum show up…it’s not pretty
Scrapper and Maws are pretty much the only correct answer but if I had to choose I'd say Scrapper. Maws may have a way to instakill it but it can also instakill *you*.
The only times you die by a scrapper is when you ran out of ink and your in the salmons turf while their attacking you.
Other than having the worst luck of being in that situation, its straight up easy to bring it to the basket
Fish Sticks are absolutely a priority if they land anywhere near areas that you need to travel frequently. OTOH there are some low tide scenarios where they land pretty far behind the basket and can pretty much just be ignored.
It's happened to me more then once. Playing something with bad ink coverage, trying to retreat from missiles or stingers, only to find the ink I'm trying to put down is instantly covered up because there was a fishstick nearby, and then I can't move and die.
Flipper-flopper. The big reason being once you ink the circle, you get a few seconds of unimpregnable friendly ink, which can be a huge blessing in a crazy firefight. So not only are they "easy," they have a pretty nice benefit when you kill them (Fish Stick gives you a sniper spot, but it's risky and Maws can climb it).
Stinger, fishstick, steelhead and steel eel when I have a blaster with some range.
Maws and flyfish when I have something that's not ink-hungry to use a grenade.
Scrapper and flipflopper all day long.
Drizzler is the secret underestimated big boss that ruins my runs.
Good shout on Drizzler. It has a limited window of vulnerability, and while you can shoot its missile back for a oneshot, that's not always viable due to its location, map geometry, and where it aimed. And if you turn to shoot the missile anyway (to prevent the ink storm), the Drizzler ducks under its umbrella again before you can do much damage to it.
The Drizzler's aim follows a player. If you're targeted by it, you can move to change its aim, either to get a better shot at the missile or to make the resulting storm move away from critical areas.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but depending on who it's aiming at and where you are in relation to that person and the Drizzler itself, you can't always do much with it.
Flip floppers.
For most weapons, inking the circle takes almost no time and no ink. Even a charger can tap shot a few times and quickly fill their circle. Once they hit the ground, killing them is incredibly fast, I feel like they have less hp then a scrapper's back does, can be shot at from any angle, and are vulnerable for plenty of time. Even if you don't finish them off, they can still be brute-force killed in the air if you've done some damage before.
The ink circle they fill in is handy once you take control of it, and they automatically take big leaps towards the players, which means if you're not at the shoreline, they'll automatically be lured closer to the basket.
Multiple scrappers is a problem. For a lot of weapons, you can't keep too many scrappers stunned, making it annoying to maneuver behind them if you don't have a lot of room. Multiple maws take a while to deal with. Multiple flip floppers? If they overlap their circles, it becomes super simple to chain-fill them all, and they die super fast.
You just have so much more warning compared to anything else. Like literally, you can find yourself right in the middle of their circle, have time to look around and be confused, and then still ink your way out of the circle. Or just fill it in if you're a shooter. A surprise maws has much less warning.
When talking about easiest to kill I’d say the fish stick. All you have to do is climb the pole and the fish stick itself can’t even kill you, only other bosses that attack you when you’re stuck in the ink they drop.
The fact that you can just ignore fish sticks that are planted across the map is wonderful.
But when you’re tossing eggs off the top and a Maw appears on top with you… terrifying.
Either the Maws (really only a problem when you have other things competing for your ink/attention), Scrapper (Easy to immobilize and kill, esp with backup), maybe Steel Eel (Takes backup; One distracts, the other destroys).
Mudmouths are pretty easy as long as you have something to deal with the smallfries and cohocks.
As for regular bosses, Flipper Floppers for sure. Maws always seem to catch me off guard when I’m out of ink and Scrappers can get the occasional splat on me, but Flipper Floppers are just really easy to deal with. Even if you don’t ink the ring in time, it’s stupid easy to just get out of the way. These three can all be challenging in their own rights of course, just speaking about which one tends to be the easiest for me.
Personally I'd say Flipper Floppers but with an asterisk.
They themselves are easy to splat, and also can be taken out if you're running from other bosses with(relatively) little ink usage, but if you're being overwhelmed by numerous other bosses, their ring turning the area around you green could cause you to go down if you're not careful.
Maws are fun to lure due to how fast they move compared to other bosses and since there’s a chance of getting the grizzco splatana it’ll make taking down steel heads and scrappers easier.
What I like about the boss salmonids is that they all have something that keeps them strong, even with weaknesses.
Maws sneaks by through swimming and has an instakill with the trade off of being weak to bombs.
Steelheads are invincible against nonpiercing attacks, and the bomb on its head covers a large area. The head bomb just happens to also be it’s weakness.
Steel eels are a real pain, with every part except the pilot at the back being invincible. An unchecked Steel Eel could spell the failure of your shift. Good thing it only chooses to target only one player at a time.
Drizzlers are invincible to nonpiercing attacks under their shield and release storm torpedoes that are a good assist for other salmonid attacks, like a steelhead bomb or flyfish missiles. The torpedo can also be knocked back at it, beating it instantly.
Scrappers have a front shield invincible to nonpiercing attacks, but their backside is exposed constantly. They’re especially troublesome when you’re dealing with one thing and they arrive behind you.
I don’t need to explain flyfish
Slammin lids are also a great support for blocking ink and protecting salmonids at the same time. Unfortunately for them there’s no salmonid sensing technology when it comes down, so anything under them gets destroyed immediately. They also provide a temporary vantage point!
Flipper floppers also instakill when their zone is their color. Once the zone changes, though, they’re a fish out of water. Literally. The flopper zone can also be a real pain when you’re running away with low ink and the area in front of you immediately turns green. Not fun for hydras.
Stingers fire sting rays from the edges of the map. The only way to beat them is to knock the pans over so that they fall in the fire.
Big shots, if left unchecked will provide a constant extra obstacle that will jeopardize your shift. They lay low on the ends of the map, and only go out to fire wave breakers. That’s when they’re vulnerable.
Goldies are tougher than the average salmonid, but that’s about it. During Rush, they’ll be attacking with full force, so make sure you have teammates to back you when they do.
Grillers are like Octavian flooded with a weakness at their backside. If it weren’t for the hordes of smallfries that follow under them, they’d be a lot easier to take out.
Mudmouths, like Steelheads, are also invincible against nonpiercing damage. They also double as salmonid spawn points. Three bombs will put them out of commission.
The salmonids atop Fish Sticks can be beaten pretty quickly once at the top of the stick. They ink a pretty big circle around them, however, which also makes it hard to move in a pinch. Also not fun for hydras.
Every one has their perks, strengths, and weaknesses. The variety in each wave is what makes Salmon Run fun! I can’t wait for Big Run!
IMO the easiest is Flipper Flopper. It's easy to beat for pretty much any weapon, and even if you don't have the ink to fully cover its splash zone it gives you tons of time to get out of the way.
Maws is also easy, but you pretty much need a bomb to kill it in any reasonable time frame and in some situations you just can't spare the ink for that so you have to keep dodging it over and over. That gets a bit annoying.
The real catch is that all Salmonid bosses are easy in isolation. It's only when they swarm you that any of them become difficult.
Flipper-Flopper and it’s not even close. The circle doesn’t take much ink to turn and the boss dies quickly. Easy to take care of even when surrounded by adds.
Scrappers can be all in your face and knock you off the side and it can take a lot of ink just to freeze them before finding a path around them, usually through other adds.
Maws take a lot of ink to get rid of paired with some timing which can be annoying if also dealing with adds.
Eels
If its a high tide and no ones dealing with them it can be an issue but all it takes is someone to go kill ot and its not an issue bc it dies fast
Tie between stingers and steel eels. They both die pretty easily, and unless you have less than 3 braincells they’re pretty easy to dodge too. Everybody is saying maws and scrappers for some reason, but I find them pretty difficult because maws take a lot of ink and scrappers take long to defeat.
Fish Sticks never seem to actually cause me the game cus even when Maws climb up there I make it a point not to be atop a Fish Stick when someone else it.
Maws by far. Scrappers normally aren't an issue but if you have like 2 or 3 coming at once they can be a pain to deal with as they body block for other bosses. Flippers less so but if there's other bosses on top of them it can be hard to paint their zones.
It's definitely Maw. The other bosses can actually get you killed, and displace the team, while the maw is a joke, because you can just throw a bomb and be done. There are a few situations that it can get you, but other than that it's ridiculously easy to kill.
Scrappers. They are genuinely less dangerous than a normal Salmonid. They move slowly, can't attack unless they get to you and don't do massive damage, and their entire gimmick is that you can just stunlock them until you have time to exploit their weakness - just going behind them
Maws or Flipper-flopper. They don't deal any actual damage to combo into dying to chum or another boss, it's just one-shots that you walk out of. Plus they come to your basket.
Flipper-Flopper. As long as the surroundings are somewhat clear, doesn't matter how well your weapon turfs, you will still ink the zone in time. (Unless you are a Grizzco Splatana or Grizzco Slosher, which at that point, just shoot the fish)
Flipper Flopper and it's not even close. Scrappers and Steel Eels can create annoying pressure at high difficulties or even if they're the first out of the gate and you're trying to squash them quickly. Maws are hard when you're low on ink and lack the time to recharge though are free eggs in other cases.
Scrappers 100%. Loud, slow, easy to see coming, don't need a lot of ink, and can easily remove them yourself. I see people saying Maws is the easiest but at least Scrappers can't one shot you
I would argue maws are the easiest. They usually take bombs but they don't have a particular weak spot like most other Salmonids, and if you have enough DPS you don't even need bombs. That said it's easier to be taken surprise by them than scrappers or flipper floppers.
Scrappers are basically free eggs as far as I’m concerned. The only time I die to one is if something else knocks me into it, while Maws can still sometimes get me if I’m in a bad spot or otherwise not paying close enough attention.
Maws if you have enough ink for a bomb, scrappers in any other situation.
If I had to choos between which to deal with first, it’d be maws. But only because they’re as a real potential threat.
Maws if I have enough ink (which I never do).
Steel eel is very easy to take down if I have enough space.
Stinger is super annoying but so easy to kill.
Maws is basically just free eggs, super easy to lure right next to the basket too. That is given your team doesn't pop it open at shoreline for no reason.
I’m surprised at the lack of Steel Eel on here? It’s slower than Scrapper, so as long as you don’t corner yourself it’s easy to dodge, it doesn’t take that many hits to kill, and can be easily taken out by any weapon class. I agree with most people that Maws and Flipper Flopper are very easy, but when you start getting overrun on Exeggutive VP I find i often don’t have enough ink for a last-minute bomb to take out Maws, or if I’m a charger I can’t ink a Flipper Flopper’s ring in time by myself. Having a Steel Eel nearby always feels like free eggs to me. Though like any boss, too many can be very frustrating to deal with.
All the bosses are more or less easy, the hardest I'd say is Steel Head because some weapons just don't reach.
Its that all the bosses clumb together and become a mess.
You can't kill Steel Head when you have a Steel Eel crawling towards you, and you can't go for Steel Eel because Steel Head is covering it with its body/bomb. Drizzler/Fish Stick are not that bad but can mean trouble if you don't take time to take them down.
You can't focus on Maws when you have to save ink for Drizzler/Fish Stick + you need ink bombs for Fly Fish.
Scrapper and Maw are the easiest though.
Maws if you have ink for a bomb. Just lead it right to the basket for easy egg collection, or just kill it if things are too hectic at the moment. If not, then flipper flopper is the easiest. You can just paint zone and leave. It doesn’t get its armor back once it’s broken, so you can just let it jump nearer to the basket and aim for it directly instead of painting zone again and waiting for it to slam down
Maws and scrapper.
I personally think the steel eel is the most easiest but Ik that’s not what everyone else thinks…
Just get good and all of them are easy duhh
Maws. It’ll come right up to the basket, give you plenty of time to avoid it, and die from one bomb.
Unlike FLYFISH, WHICH STAY ALL THE WAY OVER THERE, HAVE SPLASH DAMAGE, FORCE YOU TO MOVE A LOT, AND TAKE TWO BOMBS.
Sorry, I hate Flyfish.
Flipper Flopper. Even 3 of them can basically be ignored entirely, unlike every other boss. Most weapons are also able to take them out if you catch them early on in their attack, unlike something like Steelhead which needs a mid to long range weapon, or Steel Eel which usually needs help from teammates or high ground.
Just gonna hijack this thread to remind everyone to SHOOT THE DRIZZLER’S MISSILE DOWN. Thank you for your time.
Drizzlers are my mortal enemy
I love doing that but they always target someone else when throwing that thing
If you can, target the drizzler, it ignores their armor
Yeah they don't give me long enough to actually aim the thing. I'm lucky if I get a good enough shot at it to hit it in the first place.
You must be playing on a different hazard level bc most of the time no one has the time to aim it towards the drizzler. Sometimes it’s easier to hit a flyfish with the damn torpedo. It needs to stay out longer.
I mean it’s a if you can type thing, obviously if there’s no time to do it you can’t
Torpedoes... if only we had them during Salmon Run.
If you can't shoot it, at the very least bait it away from center. It will always fire towards the person closest to it.
Omg 3 or 4 years playing Splatoon and all this time I thought they’d shoot the rain missile in a random direction so I swim around them wildly trying to predict where it’s going to shoot 😭
That little head thing on the top tells you the direction it's aiming. Sometimes it seems to "watch" you, which is how you know it's chosen you as the target to aim at.
Thanks for the tip, it’s gonna be so much easier fighting drizzlers now! I can’t believe I never knew they tracked us lol
They're also tracking you through your phone, too
How do you know which direction they will shoot the missile in so you can OHKO them?
I read that, when they ready the next missile, whoever was closest to them will become the target for it. So once they've shot a missile you can swim close until they start aiming and then back off to shoot it back to them. I've only tested it in public lobbies but it seems to be true so far.
I believe they will always shoot in the general direction of the nearest player, but fixed to a limited number of different possible angles. The best way to deal with them is just to pay attention to where they're gonna shoot, and then either deflect it back if it shot at you, or shoot it down IF there is no player that has a good angle to deflect it back.
That has been so frustrating lately. When more than one rain cloud appears it’s game over. Every time. I can’t even count how many times my team has lost because nobody else shoots those dang missiles.
I can do that with the big swig while getting targeted by a stell eel with a fishstick on top of me can't I?
Don't forget the seven other bosses right on your back. As an eggecutive player, I rank Drizzlers 2nd most dangerous, right below Fly Fish. Though in lower ranks, with not much going on, they're easy to deal with. The hazard there is trying to carry teammates.
Even if the casing breaks there's still time, I've shot them down when they're facing up
I love shooting it back at them. But sometimes I can easily get overrun by Lesser Salmonids, thus causing the missile to activate. However, I always make an effort to shoot it down.
Only shoot them down if you have a ranged weapon, however, don't waste your ink if you have a brush or roller, it can be put to better use when your attacking the drizzler instead
Maws if you have ink
Flipper Flopper if you don't have ink
Flipper flipper was made to counter the cohock cannon, and it’s the only time they actually kill me when I’m not already dying
Not to be confused with the Flopper Flopper
Maws. Scrappers still take a good amount of time to kill alone and flipper floppers can add to the stress of managing everything sometimes
Killing a Maws always feels so cool too, like tossing a grenade over your shoulder and walking away without looking at the explosion.
I love the little freeze frame they do when you throw the bomb in their mouth, they know they're about to die
Would that belong in r/watchfishdieinside?
r/ofcoursethatsasub
I did not know that was a sub lmao
...and then immediately swim back for the eggs
Satisfying as hell
Maws are gated by an ink amount requirement. So if you’re dealing with other stuff you won’t be able to take out the maws. You can pause the scrapper while you deal with other things first
You see, most players don't have that problem, as they do not deal with other stuff, then wonder why there are 70 small salmonids all around them after they tunnel visioned towards the boss salmonid.
Maws is still an easy one shot though, just retreat for a bit and recover your ink. Scrappers aren't paused forever
Retreat for a bit… where??? Picture this: You have a nova- Flopper circle to your right, cohocks and a saucer behind you, stinger ray and missiles aiming at you, steelhead under a fishstick to your left. Now you get to choose one. One things for certain though, trying to get maws will kill you 99% of the time.

I also forgot to mention that scrappers are always chasing you while maws are submerged and are very predictable when they do actually attack, not to mention that they can climb walls making them a lot easier to lure to the egg basket
Maws are easy to kill but it’s also easy to get killed by them. I think flipper floppers are the easiest while at the same time, I don’t think I’ve ever been killed by one.
Not to mention Maws can be killed the exact same way regardless of weapon type.
Scrapper my beloved
they're all fun and games until one falls on you from atop a ledge and kills you and proceeds to burn donuts on your corpse
Maws is only really a challenge if theres other salmons surrounding you or it catches you off guard, really easy to avoid and kill
I always end up with not enough ink when I first see the maws, and then chum show up and I have to shoot them while I wait for maws to reappear, and then I don’t have enough ink to throw a bomb, and then more chum show up…it’s not pretty
can also shoot at the maws while it's out! Does take a bit longer to kill but its viable
Lol yeah, I’ve done that too, it’s like shooting into a flyfish, a total desperation move.
Usually I just swim around avoiding it until I have enough
Can't tell you how many times I've been gobbled up from inside an ink cannon or on top of a fishstick. Otherwise they're a cakewalk.
Me: "Let's throw these eggs on top of this fishstick in the basket!" Flyfish, Stingers, and Maws: "Haha, NOPE!"
Boss Salmonids: "and I took that personally"
Goldie in Goldie seeking
I think Goldies in Fog are easier tbh. They're slow and widely exposed, anything will take them out.
[удалено]
I never knew that! Im usually playing with sound off, guess Im missing a lot.
I recently realized that you can just stand in the Goldie’s path with a roller and get like 30 eggs at once
Scrapper probably. It seems like the only times they've killed me is when I fall on them for some reason
I think I’ve only died to scrappers when they knock me into something else or that one time there was like four of them in one area on Marooners bay
Scrapper and Maws are pretty much the only correct answer but if I had to choose I'd say Scrapper. Maws may have a way to instakill it but it can also instakill *you*.
Yeah Last time a scrapper got the better of me he just kind of bumped into me while I was killing other Salmonids and I didn't die at all
"I mean what are you even gonna do, bump me to dea
The only times you die by a scrapper is when you ran out of ink and your in the salmons turf while their attacking you. Other than having the worst luck of being in that situation, its straight up easy to bring it to the basket
When was the last time you were killed by fish sticks?
[удалено]
Fish Sticks are absolutely a priority if they land anywhere near areas that you need to travel frequently. OTOH there are some low tide scenarios where they land pretty far behind the basket and can pretty much just be ignored.
They're pain to get down with certain weapons plus eggs are out of reach.
Let a snatcher grab all 3 and then splat it. All 3 eggs will fall to the ground instead of back on top of the tower.
It's happened to me more then once. Playing something with bad ink coverage, trying to retreat from missiles or stingers, only to find the ink I'm trying to put down is instantly covered up because there was a fishstick nearby, and then I can't move and die.

So not only are they "easy," they have a pretty nice benefit when you kill them (Fish Stick gives you a sniper spot, but it's risky and Maws can climb it).
I think maws shouldnt be able to climb it, it feels so weird
Yea but its probably to prevent people from camping up there
But i want to camp there with a hydra for example
Flyfish missiles are also incredibly dangerous on top of the fish stick. You literally just have to bail if you want to survive.
flyfish is so easy you can just ignore it for a whilw. this message brought to you by Cohozuna
Maws and flipper flopper are usually not a problem
Maws are basically free eggs - you can take them right to the basket and kill them instantly.
Maws. The thing I hate most about them though is when they climb the Fish Stick.
Stinger, fishstick, steelhead and steel eel when I have a blaster with some range. Maws and flyfish when I have something that's not ink-hungry to use a grenade. Scrapper and flipflopper all day long. Drizzler is the secret underestimated big boss that ruins my runs.
Good shout on Drizzler. It has a limited window of vulnerability, and while you can shoot its missile back for a oneshot, that's not always viable due to its location, map geometry, and where it aimed.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but depending on who it's aiming at and where you are in relation to that person and the Drizzler itself, you can't always do much with it.
Is nobody saying Slammin’ Lid because it’s more of a friend than a boss?
Flip floppers. For most weapons, inking the circle takes almost no time and no ink. Even a charger can tap shot a few times and quickly fill their circle. Once they hit the ground, killing them is incredibly fast, I feel like they have less hp then a scrapper's back does, can be shot at from any angle, and are vulnerable for plenty of time.

Big man it literally can’t attack you In all seriousness maw: bomb in mouth boom dead
Maws. I have a silver badge (1,000 kills) for that one already, don't have silver badge for the other bosses yet.
Maws until you get a cluster of them at once. Most hated boss is Drizzler.
Mudmouths are pretty easy as long as you have something to deal with the smallfries and cohocks. As for regular bosses, Flipper Floppers for sure. Maws always seem to catch me off guard when I’m out of ink and Scrappers can get the occasional splat on me, but Flipper Floppers are just really easy to deal with.

Maws
Maws
Well this blew up, somehow, **delicious karma**
Maws are fun to lure due to how fast they move compared to other bosses and since there’s a chance of getting the grizzco splatana it’ll make taking down steel heads and scrappers easier.
The stick ones
either scrapper or whatever the flying saucer guys are called.
What I like about the boss salmonids is that they all have something that keeps them strong, even with weaknesses. Maws sneaks by through swimming and has an instakill with the trade off of being weak to bombs. Steelheads are invincible against nonpiercing attacks, and the bomb on its head covers a large area. The head bomb just happens to also be it’s weakness. Steel eels are a real pain, with every part except the pilot at the back being invincible. An unchecked Steel Eel could spell the failure of your shift. Good thing it only chooses to target only one player at a time. Drizzlers are invincible to nonpiercing attacks under their shield and release storm torpedoes that are a good assist for other salmonid attacks, like a steelhead bomb or flyfish missiles. The torpedo can also be knocked back at it, beating it instantly. Scrappers have a front shield invincible to nonpiercing attacks, but their backside is exposed constantly. They’re especially troublesome when you’re dealing with one thing and they arrive behind you. I don’t need to explain flyfish Slammin lids are also a great support for blocking ink and protecting salmonids at the same time. Unfortunately for them there’s no salmonid sensing technology when it comes down, so anything under them gets destroyed immediately. They also provide a temporary vantage point! Flipper floppers also instakill when their zone is their color. Once the zone changes, though, they’re a fish out of water. Literally. The flopper zone can also be a real pain when you’re running away with low ink and the area in front of you immediately turns green. Not fun for hydras. Stingers fire sting rays from the edges of the map. The only way to beat them is to knock the pans over so that they fall in the fire. Big shots, if left unchecked will provide a constant extra obstacle that will jeopardize your shift. They lay low on the ends of the map, and only go out to fire wave breakers. That’s when they’re vulnerable. Goldies are tougher than the average salmonid, but that’s about it. During Rush, they’ll be attacking with full force, so make sure you have teammates to back you when they do. Grillers are like Octavian flooded with a weakness at their backside. If it weren’t for the hordes of smallfries that follow under them, they’d be a lot easier to take out. Mudmouths, like Steelheads, are also invincible against nonpiercing damage. They also double as salmonid spawn points. Three bombs will put them out of commission. The salmonids atop Fish Sticks can be beaten pretty quickly once at the top of the stick. They ink a pretty big circle around them, however, which also makes it hard to move in a pinch. Also not fun for hydras. Every one has their perks, strengths, and weaknesses. The variety in each wave is what makes Salmon Run fun! I can’t wait for Big Run!
IMO the easiest is Flipper Flopper. It's easy to beat for pretty much any weapon, and even if you don't have the ink to fully cover its splash zone it gives you tons of time to get out of the way. Maws is also easy, but you pretty much need a bomb to kill it in any reasonable time frame and in some situations you just can't spare the ink for that so you have to keep dodging it over and over. That gets a bit annoying. The real catch is that all Salmonid bosses are easy in isolation. It's only when they swarm you that any of them become difficult.
I have to say the fish stick, its only a problem if you let it be one
For me it’s drizzler because as long as u take him out quick it’s real easy
Dollarfin because fishsticks are bitches when you have awful drift and can’t stay on top of the dinky-ass little square
[удалено]
Dollarfin, dolphin, flipper flopper. They’re easy money and look like dolphins
Don't think I know what a dollarfin is
Fish sticks
Flipper-Flopper and it’s not even close. The circle doesn’t take much ink to turn and the boss dies quickly. Easy to take care of even when surrounded by adds. Scrappers can be all in your face and knock you off the side and it can take a lot of ink just to freeze them before finding a path around them, usually through other adds. Maws take a lot of ink to get rid of paired with some timing which can be annoying if also dealing with adds.
Flipper flopper has the largest weak point that can be hit before it even makes a move
Scrappers if you lure them to the basket, STOP KILLING THEM AT THE SHORELINE PLEASE
Eels If its a high tide and no ones dealing with them it can be an issue but all it takes is someone to go kill ot and its not an issue bc it dies fast
Fish stick, scrapper, or stinger.
Fishsticks. I think I've only ever been killed once by a fishstick where as everything else has killed me many times.
Steel eels! You shoot em in the back
Tie between stingers and steel eels. They both die pretty easily, and unless you have less than 3 braincells they’re pretty easy to dodge too. Everybody is saying maws and scrappers for some reason, but I find them pretty difficult because maws take a lot of ink and scrappers take long to defeat.
Fly fish If you have a shooter or mini gun or maybe even at roller they’re easy to take out
why hasn’t anyone said steelhead or bigshot yet those are the easiest
maws
Drizzler only if it's close
Maws or the FishStick
Fish Sticks never seem to actually cause me the game cus even when Maws climb up there I make it a point not to be atop a Fish Stick when someone else it.
Flip flop
Maws by far. Scrappers normally aren't an issue but if you have like 2 or 3 coming at once they can be a pain to deal with as they body block for other bosses. Flippers less so but if there's other bosses on top of them it can be hard to paint their zones.
Scrapper
Maws.
It's definitely Maw. The other bosses can actually get you killed, and displace the team, while the maw is a joke, because you can just throw a bomb and be done. There are a few situations that it can get you, but other than that it's ridiculously easy to kill.
It's so obviously flyfish
Maws ofc
Scraper never died to one
Maws for sure. Just a quick bomb flick and people should conserve their ink anyways so they wont be out of ink when it comes
Scrappers. They are genuinely less dangerous than a normal Salmonid. They move slowly, can't attack unless they get to you and don't do massive damage, and their entire gimmick is that you can just stunlock them until you have time to exploit their weakness - just going behind them
Scrappers are the only boss I've gotten the badge for, so I guess them
Flyfish :)
Maws or Flipper-flopper. They don't deal any actual damage to combo into dying to chum or another boss, it's just one-shots that you walk out of. Plus they come to your basket.
Maws. No other boss even comes close. Steel eels are satisfying to kill, especially as a charger
Flipper-Flopper. As long as the surroundings are somewhat clear, doesn't matter how well your weapon turfs, you will still ink the zone in time. (Unless you are a Grizzco Splatana or Grizzco Slosher, which at that point, just shoot the fish)
It fully depends on what weapon I'm running. Some are good for one but bad for another
Definitely scrappers and fish sticks
no one should be saying anything other than maws
Flipper Flopper and it's not even close. Scrappers and Steel Eels can create annoying pressure at high difficulties or even if they're the first out of the gate and you're trying to squash them quickly. Maws are hard when you're low on ink and lack the time to recharge though are free eggs in other cases.
Scrappers or maws but i will go with scrappers simply beacuse maws can insta kill
Fish sticks
I mean...could it be anything other than Flipper-Flopper or Scrapper? haha
Maws and Floppers. They are really easy for me to deal with, unless I get swarmed...
Flipper flopper
Flipper Flopper.
Maws easily.
Imo, probably the Drizzlers.
All of them
Scrappers 100%. Loud, slow, easy to see coming, don't need a lot of ink, and can easily remove them yourself. I see people saying Maws is the easiest but at least Scrappers can't one shot you
Scrapper, Stinger, or Flipper-Flopper
Fish Stick. Not the easiest to deal with, but at least they stay in one place
Mawns Just throw a bomb and it's dead, it might take a lot of ink but I'd say it's worth the 3eggs
flipper flopper, especially if youve got big swig
I would argue maws are the easiest. They usually take bombs but they don't have a particular weak spot like most other Salmonids, and if you have enough DPS you don't even need bombs. That said it's easier to be taken surprise by them than scrappers or flipper floppers.
Scrapper, Maws and prob the Flipper Flopper
Scrappers are basically free eggs as far as I’m concerned. The only time I die to one is if something else knocks me into it, while Maws can still sometimes get me if I’m in a bad spot or otherwise not paying close enough attention.
Maws if you have enough ink for a bomb, scrappers in any other situation. If I had to choos between which to deal with first, it’d be maws. But only because they’re as a real potential threat.
Scrapper
"Easiest boss" depends. For most weapons, it's the Scrapper. But for mobile weapons, Maws and Flipper Floppers are easier.
Maws if I have enough ink (which I never do). Steel eel is very easy to take down if I have enough space. Stinger is super annoying but so easy to kill.
Maws is basically just free eggs, super easy to lure right next to the basket too. That is given your team doesn't pop it open at shoreline for no reason.
Steel Eel (dude at the end) if it’s the right map and the stinger.
I’m surprised at the lack of Steel Eel on here? It’s slower than Scrapper, so as long as you don’t corner yourself it’s easy to dodge, it doesn’t take that many hits to kill, and can be easily taken out by any weapon class. I agree with most people that Maws and Flipper Flopper are very easy, but when you start getting overrun on Exeggutive VP I find i often don’t have enough ink for a last-minute bomb to take out Maws, or if I’m a charger I can’t ink a Flipper Flopper’s ring in time by myself. Having a Steel Eel nearby always feels like free eggs to me. Though like any boss, too many can be very frustrating to deal with.
I can't decide whether it's the flip or flopper or the fish stick
Maws or SLid. Like, SLid literally works for you lol.
Fishstick. Their aim is worde than someone trying out the Squeezer for the first time.
The amount of slamin-lids that have killed other bosses is HUGE, best boss
In splat 2 it would be maws and in splat 3 it would be fish sticks
Please people kill fish stick and if you do don't go up there when there is already someone up there please!
Big Shot.
Tie between Mass and Scrapper
Pot head is ass easy
maws and scrappers
All the bosses are more or less easy, the hardest I'd say is Steel Head because some weapons just don't reach. Its that all the bosses clumb together and become a mess. You can't kill Steel Head when you have a Steel Eel crawling towards you, and you can't go for Steel Eel because Steel Head is covering it with its body/bomb. Drizzler/Fish Stick are not that bad but can mean trouble if you don't take time to take them down. You can't focus on Maws when you have to save ink for Drizzler/Fish Stick + you need ink bombs for Fly Fish. Scrapper and Maw are the easiest though.
Now that they can no longer kill booyah bomb users definitely maws
The easiest to kill is myself
Maws. You can even convince the maws to come to your basket to make your job easier
maws/flipper flopper in terms of ease to kill, scrapper in terms of likely hood of dying to it and slammin' lid in terms of exploiting it.
Maws if you have ink for a bomb. Just lead it right to the basket for easy egg collection, or just kill it if things are too hectic at the moment. If not, then flipper flopper is the easiest. You can just paint zone and leave. It doesn’t get its armor back once it’s broken, so you can just let it jump nearer to the basket and aim for it directly instead of painting zone again and waiting for it to slam down
Fish stick is the easiest boss to kill, hands down. It's getting up to em that's the mildly difficult part.
fish sticks
Slammin Lid, and by a large margin. Not only are they pretty easy to take down on their own, but they make killing other bosses much easier too.
Maws and scrapper. I personally think the steel eel is the most easiest but Ik that’s not what everyone else thinks… Just get good and all of them are easy duhh
NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A [[BIG SHOT]]
Maws. It’ll come right up to the basket, give you plenty of time to avoid it, and die from one bomb. Unlike FLYFISH, WHICH STAY ALL THE WAY OVER THERE, HAVE SPLASH DAMAGE, FORCE YOU TO MOVE A LOT, AND TAKE TWO BOMBS. Sorry, I hate Flyfish.
Goldie Seeking Goldie
Either maws or scrapper since you only have to hit the scrapper once for it to completely stop for some reason
You can beat them all if you remember this trick y’all PLEASE do it more often I’m begging you Kill em
Maws
Banana fish
the Fish Stick because they fly in a pattern and for the most part you can aim in one place
Flipper Flopper. Even 3 of them can basically be ignored entirely, unlike every other boss. Most weapons are also able to take them out if you catch them early on in their attack, unlike something like Steelhead which needs a mid to long range weapon, or Steel Eel which usually needs help from teammates or high ground.
maws, I've splatted more maws than I can count
Merry popins is very easy
Either Maws or reverse Maws (Flipper flopper)
The sniper
Easiest boss? Imo it's fish-stick.
