The Battering Lento is a Jelleton enemy in Splatoon 3: Side Order. They are large in size and attack by lunging at the player.
Appearance
The Battering Lento is a mechanical fish mostly encased in black ink. They are internally white, except their red eyes, which pop out of their sockets. They have a bony bump on their heads, which they attach with, and many other skeletal features. They also seem to resemble beluga whales.
Strategy
- Battering Lentos attack when they get close to the player, so it's better to keep a distance.
- They are not able to ink the ground below them, so inking the surrounding ground significantly slows them down.
- Battering Lentos may sometimes carry other Jelletons on their backs, which will be released if they are not splatted first. They may also knock Jelletons in their path out of the way, possibly directly into the player's location.
- They are drawn to ∞-balls, and will try to attack them even if the player is in range of them. It is advised to clear them out to prevent them from knocking the ∞-ball away from any nearby goals.
- The Order Blaster and the Order Brella are very effective against Battering Lentos because of the Blaster’s splash damage and the Brella’s shield knocking them back, cancelling its charge attack.
Quotes
The following text is quoted from the Jelleton Field Guide.
(1) |
If you let them in close, their lunge attack seriously hurts. But they don't ink turf, so draw them into your territory and finish them off once they're weakened. |
(200) |
Sometimes they give enemies rides, and sometime they push others out of the way. Does that make them good or bad allies? They're weirdly drawn to ∞-balls. |
(900) |
Do NOT let these bruisers headbutt you, not even on a dare. I like to ink the ground in front of 'em and laugh as they crawl through it. |
Conclusion The more distance, the better! |
