==Description==
==Description==
Turf War is played by up to eight people, each on their own console. There are two teams of up to four players each, with each team assigned its own [[ink]] color. The main objective for each team is to cover as much of the [[stage]], as displayed on the overhead Turf Map, as they can. Players may attempt to [[splat]] each other as well to temporarily avoid resistance or for defense. Each team has three minutes to spread their ink. After the timer reaches 0, [[Judd]] calculates how much of the stage was [[Turf Inked|covered]] by each team. The team with the highest percentage of turf coverage wins the round. A bonus 1000p (300p before the final Splatfest of {{S}}) is awarded to the winning team.

The main objective for each team is to cover as much of the [[stage]], as displayed on the overhead Turf Map, as they can. Players may attempt to [[splat]] each other as well to temporarily avoid resistance or for defense. Each team has three minutes to spread ink around the stage. After the timer reaches 0, [[Judd]] calculates how much of the stage was [[Turf Inked|covered]] by each team. The team with the highest percentage of turf coverage wins the round. A bonus 1000p (300p before the final Splatfest of {{S}}) is awarded to the winning team.

It should be reminded that the player should mainly ink horizontal surfaces because walls and other vertical surfaces do not add to the team's score. Walls should only be inked to get up to high places. In certain maps, climbable objects are the main vantage point for both teams, allowing players to spray ink further while forcing the opposing team back, mostly useful with [[charger]]s and other long-range types.

When entering a fight, the background of the arena can be seen as nighttime, similarly to a Splatfest, and the music will be Splatfest music (such as [[Ebb & Flow]]) like a Splatfest in session would be.

===Gameplay===

Similar to how Turf War and Splatfest, the only real difference is that you can make your own Splatfests at any time, where you can have matches and you get to choose how many people are on each team. It does not judge by Clout and there is no Splatfest plaza.
This mode plays the exact same way as Turf War would in an actual [[Splatfest]]. The only differences are that it does not judge by clout, [[Inkopolis Square]] is not changed, and any [[gear]] can be worn.

There are 51 Ink colors variations to choose from previous Splatfest and the option to select by random:

Splatoon's official website, [1]

Turf War is a mode in the Splatoon series. It is the only playable mode for Regular Battles and during Splatfests. Players must ink the most turf to win the match and are split into two teams of up to four.

History

Turf War was announced alongside Splatoon at E3 2014. It was the only complete mode for people to test out at the time, as only 10% of the game was done at that point in time.[2]

Description

Turf War is played by up to eight people, each on their own console. There are two teams of up to four players each, with each team assigned its own ink color. The main objective for each team is to cover as much of the stage, as displayed on the overhead Turf Map, as they can. Players may attempt to splat each other as well to temporarily avoid resistance or for defense. Each team has three minutes to spread ink around the stage. After the timer reaches 0, Judd calculates how much of the stage was covered by each team. The team with the highest percentage of turf coverage wins the round. A bonus 1000p (300p before the final Splatfest of Splatoon) is awarded to the winning team.

In-game info

In a Turf War, teams have three minutes to cover the ground with ink. The team that claims the most turf with their ink wins the battle! Get inking and try to claim as much turf for your team as you can! You get Battle Points based on how much territory you claim! If you win, a bonus will be added to your score. Battle Points earned determine your level and how much money you get. Covering the ground with ink will fill up your Special Gauge. When the gauge is full, press Right Stick to unleash your Special on the enemy! Improve your chances by getting the most out of your Special weapons.

Right, let's really amp up your skills by talking about width=auto! When you're battling, check out width=auto to see the Turf Map. Check the map to make sure enemies aren't stealing turf behind your back! Touch a buddy's icon on the Turf Map to Super Jump to their position! Be careful of Super Jumping right into an enemy ambush, though! So make sure to check the Turf Map before doing a Super Jump! If you want to be the baddest battler on the block, you've gotta use width=auto!

Stage schedule

Splatoon

In Splatoon, stages rotate out every four hours along with the stages from Ranked Battle, at 02:00 UTC, 06:00 UTC, 10:00 UTC, 14:00 UTC, 18:00 UTC, 22:00 UTC. The change in stages is accompanied by an announcement by the Squid Sisters. This announcement also ejects all players out of all lobbies after they finish their current match.

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, stages rotate out every two hours along with the stages from Ranked Battle, at 00:00 UTC,02:00 UTC, 04:00 UTC, 06:00 UTC, 08:00 UTC, 10:00 UTC, 12:00 UTC, 14:00 UTC, 16:00 UTC, 18:00 UTC, 20:00 UTC, 22:00 UTC. The change in stages is only accompanied by an announcement by Off the Hook when there is either a new game update, a Splatfest-related announcement, or a change in Salmon Run status. This announcement also ejects all players out of all lobbies after they finish their current match. This is the same in Splatoon 3 with the exception of the announcements being given by Deep Cut.

Strategies

The player should mainly ink horizontal surfaces because walls and other vertical surfaces do not add to the team's score. Walls should only be inked to get up to high places. In certain maps, climbable objects are the main vantage point for both teams, allowing players to spray ink further while forcing the opposing team back, mostly useful with chargers and other long-range types.

Similarly, moving stage elements (such as the spinning platforms in Museum d'Alfonsino and the conveyor belts in Piranha Pit) are scored as they appear at the end of the match.

A quick way for players to be able to see who is currently in the lead is to refer to the squid and octopus icons at the top of the screen. As well as displaying player status (active, splatted/disconnected, or not present), if one team is at least 10% ahead of the other team, their icons will appear larger. A "Danger!" icon also appears over a team's icons when the corresponding team is at least 10% coverage behind.

Turf War (Splatfest) mode

Turf War (Splatfest) is a mode in Splatoon 2 only available in Private Battles. This mode was added on Version 5.0.0.

Description

When entering a fight, the background of the arena can be seen as nighttime, similarly to a Splatfest, and the music will be Splatfest music (such as Ebb & Flow) like a Splatfest in session would be. In this mode you can select the 24 Shifty Stations Variations like a multiplayer stage and you can select the Ink colors from previous Splatfests. If MC.Princess Diaries is selected, Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow (Octo) will play instead of the regular splatfest music.

Gameplay

This mode plays the exact same way as Turf War would in an actual Splatfest. The only differences are that it does not judge by clout, Inkopolis Square is not changed, and any gear can be worn.

Selections

There are 51 Ink colors from previous Splatfests that can be selected (as well as the option to select randomly):

Trivia

  • If a Turf War ends in a tie, 0.1% will be added to the team assigned as Alpha in Splatoon, therefore making a tie impossible. The game randomly decides which teams are Alpha and Bravo for each match, but the host in Private Battles has the ability to assign players to either side.
  • In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, spawn points are automatically covered in each team's ink, amounting to a minimum score of 6p for each team.
