Homing Arpeggio
Can you help us get it done?
The Homing Arpeggio is a Jelleton enemy in Splatoon 3: Side Order. They target and chase down the player and explode when they hit a surface. Homing Arpeggio spawn from Spawning Accordos' head or during Arpeggio Barrage.
Appearance
The Homing Arpeggio is a mechanical fish mostly encased in black ink. They are internally white, except their eyes and the interior of the white parts, which are red. They have an esca on the top of their head that resembles a fuse. Homing Arpeggios seem to be based on anglerfish.
Strategy
- Shooting them before hitting the player prevents them from exploding.
- Homing Arpeggios should generally be defeated first, as they will be very dangerous when multiple are present at once.
