Splatfest
Splatfest ("Fes" or Festival in Japan[1]) is a special event that takes place in Splatoon.
Description
Splatfest is a recurring event hosted by the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie. During this event, Inklings are able to choose a side between two teams, and participate in battles against the other team. Inklings are limited to two colors during the Splatfest, reflecting which side they're on. Inkopolis Plaza and all the stages are decorated to reflect the event, becoming nighttime and being adorned with festive lights.
Super Sea Snails are awarded to members of the winning team upon Splatfest's conclusion.
Reward Tiers
Super Sea Snails are awarded to participants based on the size of their team, matches won, and ground covered, which dictate each player's Splatfest Title.
| Title | Total EXP required | Super Sea Snails |
|---|---|---|
| Fanboy/Fangirl | – | 2 |
| Fiend | 10 | 3 |
| Defender | 35 | 5 |
| Champion | 85 | 8 |
| King/Queen | 184 | 12 |
Splatfest EXP is earned by participating in and winning matches. Winning a match earns you 3 EXP, and your participation bonus is based on how much BP worth of ground you covered in ink during the match. If you cover 200–399 BP worth of ground, you earn 1 bonus participation EXP; if you cover 400+ BP worth of ground, you earn 2 bonus participation EXP. One can earn a maxmum of 5 EXP per match if your team wins and you cover at least 400 BP worth of ground during the match.
Once Splatfest concludes, the results are announced during a broadcast. The results are based on team popularity, the percentage of the vote each team received, and wins, the percentage of matches each team won. Win percentage is worth double the value of popularity. Players are awarded Super Sea Snails based on the Splatfest Title they have earned. Players on the winning team will earn double the Super Sea Snails.
