Pinging Marciale
Can you help us get it done?
The Pinging Marciale is a Jelleton boss in Splatoon 3: Side Order.
Strategy
The Pinging Marciale is only vulnerable on its exposed faces most of the time; however, certain attacks will force it to open its shell and expose itself. It can attack by ramming (which also drops Suction Bombs if it is fought on 20F), dropping Splat Bombs (one at a time on 10F and three at a time on 20F), launching Homing Arpeggios, and firing Killer Wail beams along an axis. Attacking it will make it roll in the direction it was hit in, possibly causing it to move out of reach.
The arena contains several bumpers, which will cause the Pinging Marciale to bounce around on contact; if the Pinging Marciale hits a glowing bumper, it will receive damage and open its shell but will produce a shock wave and summon Jelleton reinforcements. It should be noted that Battering Lentos will try to push Pinging Marciale around, making its subsequent rolling difficult to predict.
As it receives damage, the boss grows smaller and more bumpers appear in the arena. It will also fire more Killer Wail beams ar once and roll more quickly.
Quotes
The following text is quoted from the Jelleton Field Guide.
(1) |
When it's rolling around, aim for its exposed parts. If it hits a bumper, it'll bounce off and leave behind a swarm of fish. Not ideal, but a chance for a Lucky Chain. |
(3) |
The other thing that happens when it bounces is the shell opens a little, making the insides easier to hit. Go with whatever tactic is best for your weapon. |
(8) |
Nobody's gonna talk about how it suddenly charges you full steam, huh? Better lay down some ink and scram when that happens! |
Conclusion Think ahead and fight smart! |
