Get Ready to Splatter: Splatoon 3 Update 11.0.0 Is Here!
Attention all ink-slingers! This week, the delightful chaos of Splatoon 3 is about to get a funky makeover with the incoming update version 11.0.0. Buckle up, because what’s being launched is a paint-filled rollercoaster of changes for the beloved Nintendo Switch shooter. It’s like a family reunion, but nobody’s wearing matching T-shirts and everyone is trying to splat each other!
Flow Aura: A Colorful New Twist
First up on the color palette of updates – say hello to Flow Aura! That’s right, the moment players start defeating enemies in style (which is just another way of saying “wiping the floor with them”), Flow Aura bursts into action, enveloping the victorious in a delightful swirl of paint. Think of it as a fabulous paint-encrusted victory jacket – only cooler and way less dry cleaning.
According to the secret scrolls of Nintendo, “Flow Aura lasts for about 30 seconds, during which players will get a turbo boost across the board with increased Run Speed, Swim Speed, Ink Resistance, and Intensify Action.” Basically, players will feel like they’ve accidentally drunk a magical energy drink made of pure chaos and paint.
And guess what? If splatting foes is a player’s jam (or helping buddies ink the ground), the Flow Aura can extend even further. So, channel that inner ninja and start splatting like there’s no tomorrow!
Behold the Health Bar Revelation!
In case the adrenaline of splatting isn’t enough, this update also introduces a brand-spanking new way to keep tabs on enemies’ health. Yes, folks – a health bar will pop up for a few seconds after delivering a hit, giving players the dramatic satisfaction of seeing the struggle up close. If players manage to keep their peepers on the target while not picking their nose or slipping on paint, that info will be worth more than gold!
And for those who love to mark targets like a cat scratching the living room sofa, utilizing Thermal Ink or a Point Sensor will allow players to spot enemies’ health from a distance. Who knew tracking down foes could feel this much like a strategic game of hide and seek!
It’s Getting Smaller: Hit Boxes, That Is
It’s time for a little hit box shrinkage! In a mighty quest for precision, the upcoming adjustment is set to slim down the hit boxes a bit. The developers share that since the Wii U days, players needed a bit of leeway for adjusting to motion controls, but as skills have improved, those oversized hit boxes have become more of an echo from the past. Think of it like trying to squeeze into jeans after the holiday feasting – it’s time for a more tailored fit!
This means that those sneaky Inklings and Octolings, who thought they could hide behind walls and corners, might be slightly less invincible once this update rolls out. Better brush up on sneaky tactics, as this can mean a game-changing difference in strategy – or it’ll just lead to an epic fail when that paint splat accidentally pops out!
Final Thoughts: Paint, Glorious Paint!
As players prepare for this monumental update launching on January 29, expect a whirlwind of vibrant chaos, new strategies, and possibly some quite colorful language when things go sideways. With Flow Aura, smarter health tracking, and sleeker hit boxes, the stakes have never been higher in the world of squid-tastic antics. So, strap on those ink-soaked shoes, grab the controller, and get ready to dive into a splatting frenzy like never before!
