'''Squad Battle''' was one of the four multiplayer [[mode]] categories in ''[[Splatoon]]'', alongside [[Regular Battle]], [[Ranked Battle]] and [[Private Battle]]. Squad Battle allowed groups of up to four friends to participate together in [[Ranked Battle]] with other squads. A squad would always battle together on the same team, and players who were [[rank]] S or S+ would not gain or lose rank points. It was made available as part of Version {{Ver|S|2.0.0}}.
'''Squad Battle''' is an upcoming mode for Splatoon, to be released on August 6. Squad Battle allows groups of two to four friends to participate together in Ranked Battles. A squad will always battle together on the same team.


Squad Battle has three modes:
==Matchups==
* Quad Squad: Two teams of four players in a 4v4 battle.
When forming a squad, players could create a Quad Squad (four members), a Tri Squad (three members), or a Twin Squad (two members). Squad Battles were always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles, since Twin Squads cannot fight alone - they would be paired up with another Twin Squad for a four-player team, and their opponents would also be a pair of Twin Squads. A Tri Squad, however, was treated as a Quad Squad, to their disadvantage when facing actual Quad Squads. However, if they were matched against a Quad Squad, the Tri Squad members were granted a quicker respawn.
* Tri Squad: Two teams of three players in a 3v3 battle.
 
* Twin Squad: Four teams of two players in a 4v4 battle.
==Passwords==
If necessary, a squad could be protected by a four-digit password, allowing the creator of the squad to limit it to just invited friends. However, the friends-only rule still stood, so even if someone knew the password to a squad, they could not join unless they were friends with the person who created it.
 
== Trivia ==
*There was an [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]] in this mode as well as in [[Private Battle]]s: one could play one of the [[Squid Sisters]]' songs, ''[[Calamari Inkantation]]'', using the sounds produced from the individual digits when one sets up a password.

Squad Battle was one of the four multiplayer mode categories in Splatoon, alongside Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Private Battle. Squad Battle allowed groups of up to four friends to participate together in Ranked Battle with other squads. A squad would always battle together on the same team, and players who were rank S or S+ would not gain or lose rank points. It was made available as part of Version 2.0.0.

Matchups

When forming a squad, players could create a Quad Squad (four members), a Tri Squad (three members), or a Twin Squad (two members). Squad Battles were always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles, since Twin Squads cannot fight alone - they would be paired up with another Twin Squad for a four-player team, and their opponents would also be a pair of Twin Squads. A Tri Squad, however, was treated as a Quad Squad, to their disadvantage when facing actual Quad Squads. However, if they were matched against a Quad Squad, the Tri Squad members were granted a quicker respawn.

Passwords

If necessary, a squad could be protected by a four-digit password, allowing the creator of the squad to limit it to just invited friends. However, the friends-only rule still stood, so even if someone knew the password to a squad, they could not join unless they were friends with the person who created it.
