Power level

Splatfest Power is a feature introduced in Version 2.6.0 that replaces the Vibe meter during Splatfest.

The concept of Power has also been extended in Splatoon 2 to apply to Ranked Battles and League Battles, and works similarly to how Splatfest Power works in the original game.

Description

 * During Splatfests what was previously the Vibe Meter will now display your Splatfest Power.
 * Initial Splatfest Power level depends upon your current Ranked Battle rank.
 * Splatfest Power level will change depending on wins or losses during Splatfest Battles.
 * The player with the highest Splatfest Power on the winning team will receive a slightly larger boost to their Splatfest Power than their teammates after the match.
 * At the end of a match, your team is ranked according to your current Splatfest Power level.
 * Until now, Splatfest matchmaking favored grouping players with similar play styles. Players will now be more likely to play with those of similar Splatfest Power level.
 * The higher a team’s average Splatfest Power level, the more Splatfest Points they will earn after winning.
 * In since 4.0.0, Splatfest Power is no longer displayed in Normal Mode, only in Pro Mode.  However, the game still keeps track of it internally, even in Normal Mode, to determine how much a team gets for a winning bonus.

At the top left corner of the box showing the player's Splatfest Power is a pair of eyes representing the Squid Sister they have sided with: players on Callie's team see scowling eyes, and those on Marie's team see more laid-back eyes. Both versions have their signature pupils, but with a dark red color instead of the usual gold.

Players with the highest Splatfest Power are featured in the Splatfest Top 100.

2.7.0

Trivia

 * The promotional images for Splatfest Power show the Cats vs. Dogs and Rice vs. Bread Splatfest Tees and Ink colors despite it having not existed when they were used.
