Squad Battle

Squad Battle is mode in Splatoon made available as part of the August Update. Squad Battle allows groups of 2-4 friends to participate together in Ranked Battle with other squads. A squad will always battle together on the same team.



Players can form squads of 2-4 friends. When forming a squad, the player has the option of creating a Quad Squad, a Tri Squad, or a Twin Squad. Squad Battles are always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles. Twin Squads are teamed up with another Twin Squad for a 4-player squad. Tri Squads are treated as Quad Squads and may face 4-player squads.

Passwords
When necessary, you can add a password to your squad. This allows you to decide which friends you want to play with you, while keeping out other, less invited friends. The password is four digits long and must be entered by all friends trying to join the squad. The friends only rule still stands, so you can't just put a password out on the internet without becoming friends with the people you want to play with.
