198 Golden Eggs, 35 sec Cohozuna & More [Salmon Run Overfishing]

The first green mystery rotation has arrived in Splatoon 3, and with that also a new Grizzco Weapon. I gotta say the Grizzco Stringer isn't too crazy, especially in comparison to something like Grizzco Charger. Although the damage output can be pretty useful, especially against Cohozuna lol. We only had max 2 Gstringers on Cohozuna, but with even more you can probably just empty your inktank twice with specials and be done.

The most important tips I'm getting from this: 1. Never wait for a boss to do anything. If you don't one cycle a steelhead, just run away and do something else. 2. You don't have to go collect every kill, just get eggs when they are convenient. 3. Always walk it to the basket when you can, it costs too much ink. 4. Lead the moving bosses closer to the basket whenever possible. 5. Don't save your specials as a "panic button", use them to target the annoying bosses like stingers and flyfish.

[@carlos41519]

After the time i spent on splatoon 2 solo que ive developed a skillset that involves all of these. The only time i lose is if one of us on the team messes up and forgets one of these things which is not too common

[@Ricka_seven]

Thanks, I note it

[@chickenmcnuggets9238]

Especially point 5! I always leave it for when my teammates are dead if I have inkjet. It seems way better to use it and target stingers because they are so annoyingly far and there's a higher chance of dying in a corner if you are dealing with it alone

[@aegisScale]

There's also another potential tip I noticed both in the vid and on my own: You can sometimes use bosses like Steelhead to kill other bosses, so don't forget that if say a Steelhead is close to a Stinger's back or an Eel's tail (same theory with the Lid slam, Lid's great for destroying anything that might get under it like flyfish if you can trigger the slam).

[@CidPsy]

@@carlos41519 Exactly... do the Solo Run long enough and you will eventually get to the bullet points the OP made. But its highly circumstantial... like "leave the boss and do something else while its not moving" sometimes doing that might trap you or leave you in a bad situation.

[@BrianTheDrummer]

For anyone interested in some perspective on the potential of Next Wave: In Splatoon 2 we held the 1 night record of 201 Golden Eggs on this map (excluding golden rotations). It's still the record to this day after years of SR. And now after 4 hours of playing this same map on Splatoon 3 we nearly got that exact same score. Give it some time and this mode could see some insane scores.

[@justyaya374]

Do you think 300 could be possible? And what would be needed for it to happen?

[@BrianTheDrummer]

Yeah for sure, already in Splatoon 2 a 300 is theoretically possible given the near perfect circumstances. It's hard to say still, but in Splatoon 3 I could maybe even see it going up to 400. Although that would definitely require the best wave types like High tide and night waves that aren't Rush or Seeking with bad paths.

[@carcharcat2760]

How much potential do you see in the new special waves, bosses and egg throw for overfishing?

[@a-j-o-l-o-t-3]

@@BrianTheDrummer exploser with the mouths?

[@BrianTheDrummer]

Mudmouths has insane potential. Even the 84 here could be further optimized (lack of snatcher optimization, other minor mistakes). We managed to get Tornado up to a 64 or something, although it seems to be quite dependant on the DPS of the comp. I would like to experiment more with how the players and eggs are positioned, but I feel the limit of this mode isn't as high. Also egg throwing is amazing. This alone has ramped up the egg count so much, makes it a lot more complex too with the ink management and team distribution for getting eggs. Like, all of a sudden you don't need 3 people to get 3 far eggs, as a simple example.

the fact that you still didn't get a golden scale is astounding. They gotta change the reward system a little

[@netniuq531]

@@dangomango2930 as far as I know the total amount of scales you earn is based off how much damage your team does to cohozuna. The type of scale you get is completely random with gold and silver being rarer than bronze scales

Dear sweet cephalochrist…Mr. Grizz ain’t kidding when he said that you’re scarier than the sea when you took down the Cohozuna in 35 seconds! I’m also surprised that after all that, you guys didn’t earn a single gold scale. That’s a HUGE underpay for the dedication, and teamwork you guys had to perform such a feat! Also, the coordination dealing with the Mudmouths is scarily INSANE!

[@Awoken_YKW_Fan9001]

Kinda, during our years in Splatoon 2 we never used vc. Although we've been gradually doing it more as Splatoon 3 released. However, understandably not everyone is comfortable with the vc being streamed/recorded. So unfortunately I can't include those, sorry.

What do you think the most dangerous new boss is if left unchecked? I'd say fish stick personally, it's really good at stopping you from painting flipper flipper zones, escaping maws, jumping, moving in general, and can even stop you from entering squid form to climb a wall. Not to mention regardless of its location, you kinda have to go out of your way to get to it because.its so high up.

[@mrgumbwit5307]

[@arctistarfox]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Golden Mudmouths in a single wave.

[@Jwvermillion]

Incredible...absolutely incredible... And despite all of that not a single gold scale...in fact I think your first run on Cohozuna was on Hazard MAX judging by Grizz's quote, right...? It's totally unfair for your team to beat Cohozuna in such high hazard levels, and not get any gold scales at all; they really should fix the rates, if not make it a guaranteed drop on Hazard MAX. Although maybe I shouldn't complain too much because gold scales are ultimately used in like 10-12 items; none of the suits require them, only stickers, decor, and banners (They do range from a small amount to a ridiculous number of scales, the highest being 100 for a goldie decor)...HOWEVER, according to reliable sources, you're required to get at least 4 gold scales to unlock the whole shop as you need to spend a certain amount of each to unlock one of three tiers, with 4 gold scales required to unlock the last tier of stuff... While the number isn't bad, it's just absurd trying to grind for them, especially when you either don't have a well-coordinated team, or just a bad weapon set. Also wow I never thought killing Cohozuna with weapons is just as efficient than just using the golden egg cannon. I definitely learned a lot from your runs. Cheers!

》Scales odds! 14%-14.5% for silver. 0.5%-1.5% for gold. 》How it's calculated! The way you get scales is dependent on your rank in the mode, as well as your performance on the previous waves. Beating Cohozuna increase the odds too, but only because you get more scales total (13) for beating him.
