Yeah, I can get to the fifth phase pretty consistently, just that every goddamn time he breaks my armor in like one shot and then starts super jumping and I'm hosed because I can't move fast enough to get out of range.

always stick around the cover, at first i thought i'd get her after she used up her three jumps but she'll still pull off a splashdown every two seconds and that got me a few times. also be sure to keep turfing the area around her as she splashes down cause she'll dodge roll into your ink and thats at least a free hit or two

postin this one again shamelessly:

For anyone struggling with the defend the orb level, just use the roller. Stand by the spawn points and flick the enemies as soon as they drop.

I eat ass.
be super aggressive against the bonus boss. Rush them down as soon as they're done with their splash down and back then into a corner and unload on them. I tanked through armor breaks from phase 1-3 and just recovered between phases. Also make sure you're turfing so you can swim away to kite bombs if needed.

phase 5 from my perspective: https://youtu.be/d7Y2jett4tI

This is actually a bad idea, because it's nigh-impossible to undo damage to the Orb with a Roller. You can do it easily enough with the Splattershot until the final push at the 15-10 second mark, and then just ride it out keeping the Orb alive by shooting it.

It's still a terrible, terrible level though.

I had a fairly easy time on the orb defending level just using Octobrush and rushing the Octolings (the second wave of two Octolings can be splatted at once) as soon as they spawn so maybe try that if it's giving you trouble

If anything, this is the one thing it doesn't have. Surround it in your ink and it's pretty interrupted.

Also I joined the goons that beat this club a couple hours ago. Love the fight design and concept wise, hate actually playing a gun fight as a roller dude.

Minor adjustments to how clams interact with specials and jumping, arguably. Otherwise it's good. Yeah, it's a little tougher to understand than the others, but that's because it's more like a real team sport.

Imagine picking up a baseball or football (either) game without knowing the sport at all and deciding after a couple matches that it was stupid because you didn't understand how it worked. Just imagine

"What?! I'm not tangled up like this for fun, you know!"
I'm glad everyone has different stages that really gave them trouble. Mine were "Girl Power Station" (Defend the Orb from Octolings) , and "Gnarly Grindage" (Ride the rails and pop the targets).

For the first one it took me too long to realise I can just splat bomb them as they spawn, and for the second one I insisted on using the Bamboozler. I think that one took at least a dozen tries.

The one where you defend the orb from missiles and zepplins was really easy for me, you just shoot the zeppelins' weak points, and you can blow up multiple missiles by just shooting the orb when they're close, which also heals it.





oh yeah and clam blitz whips rear end.

Nintendo's MO for their games in recent years has been "once post-game rolls around, the kid-gloves are off." Octo Expansion pretty much starts off assuming you've beaten Octo Valley, because it does not show kindness in the slightest on some stages.

For phase 2 I just stand in one spot until he starts bubble blowing then I circle around and get him since he can't shoot until he blows all three bubbles, then stick and move for the rest.

Phase 3, the best strategy seems to be just to rush him when he's throwing out auto bombs then fall back and trigger the bombs as safely as possible.
