10 Side Order Tips You'll WISH You Knew Sooner - Splatoon 3 

The replayability IS good, but I do wish the main campaign was kinda longer

guys paint the floor before you do the ball boss

I’ve beaten it with three weapons. My advice for upgrades is get a couple extra lives early, and as soon as Marina offers it, upgrade swim speed while damaged. Every time I die it’s because I got one-shot damaged by a bomb or sniper, then the hoard finished me off because I couldn’t get away.

I highly recommend that when grinding for Prlz, you use weapons you are not good with, because then you’ll never have to use that specific weapon again and you can do all the fun grinding with a weapon you’re familiar with.

As a mediocre splatoon player, armor recovery is one of the best hacks because it’s relatively cheap and it can allow you to recover from nearly dying in just a few seconds. It pairs well with the armor break jump too since I’ve been able to get armor broken and glide with pearl to instantly repair the armor before I even touch the ground.

As far as I can tell, the keys are always at the boss floors, and you can only get three keys per weapon palette. Hope this helps.

I mostly die by getting cornered. Id recommended the getting thrown up in the air after a shield break hack. Dont remember the name but i think it can really save a run.

You can actually turn off the chip bias with Marina

One of the fastest ways to get to the top (and in my opinion the most op build) is having the tristrike special, 300% special charge chips and special charge when moving. You basically have infinite specials and the dps of tristrike is insane.

i finished already it’s so fun but can be difficult at first. the best tip is to keep playing and keep learning

Here's how to become INVINCIBLE in side order Step 1 use prlz to get both amour regen to max and amour brake launch to second to max Step 2 glide all the way down every time your amour should regen before reaching the ground Step 3 somehow die anyway

I found an easter egg on accident early in my playthrough. I was outside the tower when this happened. I couldn't get it to occur otherwise. I have a tendency to make my character twirl around for funsies. So I did it for a couple seconds outside the tower and I found Pearl will join you! She does an extravagant little spin with a cute noise to go with it!

You can turn on and off hacks, PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. For example you probably won't want pearl drone to use sprinkler when you're playing as octobrush, so go to marine and adjust the slider for the pearl drone sprinkler upgrade to off. This also allows you to adjust chip bias as some palettes have really bad synergy with their biased chips. Oh and a small one is to use vending machines to an absolute minimum (life restoring only) if you are struggling. Continues restore ALL your lives so instead of maxxing out hindrance damage or pearl drone special guage, you get an extra however many lives you have. Not to mention those bonus membux will get you more pirlz (albeit not at as good of a rate as at vending machines.)

1:45 Update, they are not permanent, as once you buy an upgrade, you can toggle because lower upgrades & default settings whenever

About keys, so the first thing I learned about them are that you are guaranteed to get one if you beat a boss floor with a certain palette for the first time. I also love that one of the first palettes you get is Agent 4's.

Also if you go to pallet, if you click on the chips they make sounds!!

I start out my grind first by selecting a level that has a chip I never got. If I come accross a floor where I got all chips within it, I look to see if there is a level I havent done yet. Should show up as a ? instead of a wierd file name. If Ive done all kevels on that floor, then Ill just pick the level that will give me the best payout

Not a tip but more of a question, but I think what palette you get from the locker is randomized, past the first three. (Pearl, Marina, and Agent 4) My friend and I started Side Order at the same time, and when we got to our fourth locker, he got Frye’s and I got Callie’s. We both got Sheldon for our fifth though. I don’t know if it’s randomized or not, and if anyone else has anything to add I would love to hear it! Edit: Might be a tip for some, but get the “Armor-Break-Fling-Into-Air Upgrade.” It’s saved me from being mauled by a horde, as I just glide away with Pearl 😂

my run where i died at level 27 took 413 prlz to restore, so it's not necessarily as bad as it could be, but for me it mostly meant grinding for prlz which lead to me getting back up to that level regardless.

Also here's a reminder to take advantage of enemy pathing. Always have an option of retreat, don't take too big chances that will surround you, and take your time. There is no time limit, so it is okay to focus on clearing the horde.

Thanks for the tips friend. I did know of a few of them just by playing but having this as a tip video to help out with the tower does really help along with your other videos for the game so I definitely will say I appreciate it very much. Hopefully I'll beat a tower run this weekend or coming week soon. And to everyone else out there doing the dlc: in the words of a very wise rabbit "NEVER GIVE UP... TRUST YOUR instincts!

Side order could have been some kind of online multiplayer mode. I would have loved it as an online mode.

The difficulty of a floor can also heavily depend on your weapon and build. I had a blaster run with ludicrous dps but terible coverage and mobility, to the point that i foten found rigorous portal levels easier than normal zones levels.

I retried a level where I perished at the last boss. Cost about 400 pearls, and got back about 200. Keep in mind when retrying runs, you'll likely be spending more pearls than what you'll gain at the end, especially the higher you get in your previous attempts.

Me when I accidentally ignore how to continue runs so I have to start over every time:

Wish we had a replica weapon for wiper 😭

4:07 I recently lost a run that got me all the way to the boss, and from what I saw it cost around 500 (I think?) prlz to retry that run. So not thousands, but still a lot. Probably like 2 successful runs since each can get you around 200+ prlz

ALL 11(+1) weapons done, finally.

Thanks splat channel!

I died on 30F and it only cost a cuople hundred pearls

I've barely gotten into this, and it's already pretty intense, but I'm enjoying it a lot more than Octo expansion. #SplatGang

Bye the way, there is a 4th difficulty that can pop up and that is *Rigorous* ! These are like extremely hard.

One time I got 3 rigorous levels, luckily some of them are easy like the running fish ones

The keys are on the 10/20/30 boss floors, but only once per floor for each palatte. You can see when selecting a plaette how many keys you have earned from that palette. You can not get the keys endlessly just using the same weapon, you'll have to switch palettes/weapons to get all the keys.

Reached the top floor, but died due to complete nonsense. Can confirm it costs about 412 Prlz to retry. Not thousands, but you’re still gonna wanna find a way to farm Prlz.

compelted it on run 2.... and i went for almost every hard/rigerous floor aswell and it was just so easy :/ really hoping there will be a bossfight like in octo expansion thats just really hard

I was trying to do a one color palette but it was only easy levels in the color. At some point it was hard danger hard or rigorous and none of them were the right color 😅

I main backline weapons in base game, so the early run was quite hard when the only options were all short ranged weapons.

Tip: when the tower is shown you dont need to quickly memorize the rewards, just record a 30s video using the switched capture button (for people who havent thought of this)

use your least favorite weapons first to make the later palettes a bit easier to get through. also, pick your battles wisely. it might be a good amount of membux and a good chip, but do you really want to do a rigorous splat zones stage?

I would recommend getting the permanent upgrades before climbing the tower this reminds me of Kirby fighters 2 of the final chapter

Get as many Pearl drone weapons as soon as you can, shes saved so many times.

Got to 30F first try after getting splatling, died and now I need 300-ish to load the savefile. Still super grateful ngl, especially after rage-quitting After Alterna at the last stage

I just beat it in my second run. I'm gonna redo it to unlock the stuff.

My best combination was just Marie’s palette (splat charger) and max Quick Charge, because, okay hear me out, max quick charge on a splat charger is really fun and powerful! No charging needed with max quick charge lol you can just press the button. Also Quick Charge is a Support color chip which is the most common color chip type for Marie’s palette.

the max for the retry pearls is like 400 i got up to floor 30 and had to use a retry

Is it possible to change weapons and leave the spire without dying?

I noticed that each weapon palette has three key symbols on each of them. I wonder what they’re for? I have two of them filled up on the dualies palette.

it costs around 450 prlz to retry on the last floor - the 30th floor.

Starting on floor 28 is only 475 prlz.

You eventually can get a upgrade to continue with MemBux

You can get tons of priz just by doing single tone runs.

So basically the only way to get Marina’s chips is to start over??

I KEEP LOSING AROUND 20+ AHHHHHHHH

Quick question: Does the colour of the fingertips/hair change? I currently have a blue-yellow fade and I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

I already beat it

all first key in 10f but the other one i not sure went floor is it

My best run is floor 21, what about the people who didn’t finish yet?

how did yall already beat it … 😭😭

I'm struggling so much 😭 I've never been able to beat a hard floor, but since I keep choosing easy and normal floors, I eventually only get the hard floor choices. I refresh them whenever I can, but I only have so much money. I just don't feel like I have the necessary skills to take on hard. Help😭😭

0:39 his hair color changed from orange to purple

XD I thought that the Prlz where called Priz XD

Splatgang!

Before I watch is there spoilers passed floor 10 after the ball boss?

you get keys when you beat the bosses with a new palette

definitely don’t ignore the discs

What do the key slots on the weapon palletes mean?

great, now a guide how to skip all floors bc this is too difficult

What about the cipher shop?

I finished it 100% completetion

I died at lv 29 on my first run 😭

so you cant go back to the plaza besides losing all your lives or giving up? and also wheres the shop?

I find that the “Risky reward” hack is worth it if you’re confident you will make it with less hacks. (Don’t forget that turning it on triples the price of buying your previous floors)

When i died on floor 29, it cost 900 prlz to replay😳

i got one key form my player and is not easy to the others

33.3k subs nice

I’m always fighting the 2 same bosses 😭

Use a tri strike weapon or get it from vending machine when possible. It’s absolutely busted in the spire especially when paired with perks that allow it to be farmed easier

The replayability is good, but if there's no story/motivation, then why play? What, to beat up Smollusk for the 88th time?

Just wanna ask: did anyone else sorta brute force their way through like me by chance? (No upgrades) lol

I haven’t even finished side order once

Is there is a way to unlocks Marina hacks but not use some of them ? I wanna buy them all for completion sake but i don't want to have most of them active because I don't want to make the game too easy... But also want more than 3 hacks at the same time and want to keep the money if i fail Don't really understand why we can't desactivate a hack we bought (i looked everywhere and found nothing, but i comment here in hope someone saw we actually can desactivate some hacks)

Should I start side order with the no hacks challenge. Do I even get anything from this? Why... why am I doing this? 😔

Its Called Speed Running Lol

my grindy butt already 100% side order 😭😭😭

4:25 I died on floor 30 and it did cost me 397 prlz

splat gang!! ^__^

I feel like I’m the only one that’s having a hard time I haven’t even beaten the dlc😅I get to 14 then die lol I promise I’m good at the game!!

Splatting!

I have only played a few levels so far bc of work. #Splatgang.

by the way it costs 500 perlz for my floor 30run

Lmao I immediately went to the damage reduction hack when Marina opened hacks, because my autistic slow reaction time ass can’t play this kind of stuff for shit(dodging/squid ink roll/just not getting hit in the first place) 😂 whoops

The last pallet hurts.... That is all

Yet I beat it today lol

i never reach the last boss at the end of the spire, is it the final boss or a normal boss ? because i don’t to finish the dlc to quickly

i dont wanna use the perks as itll make the game so easy i prefer the challenge of one life although its annoying if you die on like F28 lmao

To late for me, as I've already 100%ed the dlc 😅

Tip number one: DON'T DIE 😭

Spoiler alert: I just beat the boss with the 4th different weapon and he does get harder x_x He started throwing out Towering Nobilmentes (those sniper-ish tower enemies) and started spamming his Reef Slider attack more T_T Eep!

I beat the final boss with only 1 life. My logic was that if I can't do it deathless then am I really good at it
