Triple Splashdown

The Triple Splashdown is a special weapon in.

Splatoon 3
The Triple Splashdown is a reworked version of the Splashdown special from. The special works the same way as Splashdown, but the user summons two giant fists made of ink ahead and to either side of them to create two additional Splashdowns.

The fists will travel up slopes and over short walls, rising further to account for the level of the ground beneath them. However, they will be prevented from spreading out from the user's position by taller walls.

The fists complete their Splashdowns roughly 1/4 second after the user completes theirs, with the fists offset by a much smaller time relative to each-other. [Exact numbers needed]

The user as well as each of the fists can be shot down by opponents, but if any of them survive, they will complete a Splashdown even if the user is splatted. This makes the counterplay of the original Splashdown - simply shooting down the user - much more dangerous unless the opponent can fire from outside the Triple Splashdown's range or has very high firepower.

When splatted during the Triple Splashdown's duration, the user retains a portion of their full special gauge, even if one or both of the fists complete the Splashdown.

Compared to the original Splashdown, the Triple Splashdown deals far more damage overall and covers a wider, less predictable area. Its overall painting ability is similar to the original, but each individual Splashdown has reduced painting. It is also stronger against Brellas and other shields, able to destroy the shield with one Splashdown and then splat the player behind it with the next.

Like the Splashdown from the previous game, the player can use the special while super jumping to be invulnerable during the special, but the two fists will not be present.

This special is one of the nine available specials in Salmon Run Next Wave.

Special Power Up

Badges

Trivia

 * Triple Splashdown is the third special weapon from a previous SS undefined game that has been modified to fit the "three" theme prominent in, after the Triple Inkstrike and Trizooka.
 * The Triple Splashdown was added to Salmon Run Next Wave before any weapon kits featuring it were released. It is currently the first and only special weapon with this distinction (including the original Salmon Run).
 * Additionally, when jobs were viewed in SplatNet 3, Triple Splashdown's icon was replaced by Trizooka's icon. This changed with the release of Chill Season 2023.
 * It was possible before Version 6.0.1 to execute a glitch with Triple Splashdown causing the player to appear separated from the Triple Splashdown and, when executed near an edge, have the player fall and be splatted on one screen, and be fine on another, causing an invisible player glitch.
