Clout
Clout is a mechanic introduced in version 4.0.0 of Splatoon 2 wherein clout points are awarded to the winning team depending on the Splatfest Power of the losing team.[1] The mechanic was introduced as part of a new system to determine the winner in Splatfests based on point tallies, as opposed to the previous system that was exclusively based on the two teams' win rates. Clout is counted separately for two of the available Splatfest Battle modes, Normal and Pro. Battling against the same Splatfest team does not contribute to the Clout score.
Splatoon 2
In the Splatfest Battle (Normal) mode, players can multiply their clout by a factor of up to ×2.0 based on the Synergy Bonus they get if they win the match. Synergy Bonuses are earned by having matching gear, weapons, and appearance, which are also tied into the team names players get during Splatfests. An example of the highest possible Synergy bonus would be if all four players were Inkling boys with the topknot hairstyle and dressed in the Soccer Headband and Blue Sea Slugs with the N-ZAP '85. The nickname would be "The Soccer-Loving Blue-Slug Gray-Zappin' Topknot Gang."
| Conditions | Synergy Bonus factor[2] |
|---|---|
| Either hairstyle, gender, or species matching | + 0.1× |
| Main weapon type matching | + 0.2× |
| Sub weapons matching | + 0.2× |
| Special weapons matching | + 0.2× |
| All different main weapon types | + 0.2× |
| Only two main weapons matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| Only three main weapons matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| All main weapons matching | + 0.3× |
| Headgear genre matching | + 0.2× |
| Headgear brand matching | + 0.2× |
| Only two headgear matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| Only three headgear matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| All headgear matching | + 0.3× |
| Shoe genre matching | + 0.2× |
| Shoe brand matching | + 0.2× |
| Only two shoes matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| Only three shoes matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
| All shoes matching | + 0.3× |
The multiplier begins at ×1.0, where each matching element adds to the factor. For example, if a team has all matching hairstyles and all matching shoes, they will get a Synergy Bonus of ×1.0 + ×0.1 + ×0.3 = ×1.4.
Splatoon 3
The clout system from Splatoon 2 returns for Splatoon 3's Splatfest events unchanged. The new Tricolor Battles award more clout by a factor of 1.5× if the defending team is determined to be in the lead per the Halftime Report, referred to as a 1.5× Bonus.
