Homing Arpeggio
Can you help us get it done?
Homing Arpeggios are Jelleton enemies in Splatoon 3: Side Order They target and chase down the player and explode when they hit a surface. Homing Arpeggios spawn from Spawning Accordos' heads, during an Arpeggio Barrage or during boss fights.
Appearance
Homing Arpeggios is a mechanical fish mostly encased in black ink. They are internally white, except for their eyes and the red interior of the white parts. They have an esca on the top of their head that resembles a fuse. They are similar to the Torpedo sub weapon in the way that they target players and do a little explosion. 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 are very dangerous when multiple are present at once.
- Despite being hard to spot, Homing Arpeggios can be detected by their beeping sound, which accelerates as they get closer to the player.
- It only takes two hits for a player to be splatted by one so make sure they stay far away.

Etymology
Homing refers to their mechanic of targeting and approaching the player. Arpeggio is a musical term for a way of playing the tones of a chord: instead of playing them simultaneously, they are heard in rapid succession.
