Fish Stick
Template:InfoboxCharacter Fish Sticks are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3.
Description
When a Fish Stick spawns, a tall, tower-like pillar is planted on the ground, carried by a flying group of Smallfry. After planting the pillar, the Smallfry fly in a circle and slowly rain down ink to cover the surrounding area. A Fish Stick can defeated by splatting the Smallfry above it, either by using nearby high ground or by taking advantage of the blind spot directly around the pillar to ink it and climb up. Once all the Smallfry have been splatted, the Fish Stick will drop three Golden Eggs atop the pillar. Even after defeating the Fish Stick, the pillar remains until the end of the wave and can be used as high ground against other Salmonids.
Quotes
| “ | We have proudly classified an entirely new Boss Salmonid known as a "Fish Stick." As the name implies, flying Salmonids have been observed planting a large "stick" to gain a tactical advantage. Could it be exploited somehow? Our research continues. | ” |
