Fast Leveling in Splatoon Raiders

Pick a Tank based on playstyle, not just stats -- Power for close-range burst, Speed for mobility and hit-and-run, Tactical for battlefield control via gadgets. You aren't locked in: Tanks can be freely switched between missions, and each carries its own compatible Gadget group, so experimenting early costs you nothing permanent.

Keep an eye out for Compasses in navy blue crates during Relic and Crystal-mining levels -- they point the way to bonus Sampler Dungeons, which are some of the best levels in the game for learning gadgets and grabbing extra Skill Points for later-game leveling.

Each Deep Cut member -- Shiver, Frye, Big Man -- serves as a selectable Bot Buddy with a unique Showstopper ultimate. Frye's wide-range AoE Showstopper is a strong, broadly useful pick across most builds and difficulty levels, while Big Man's Showstopper offers a full heal plus temporary invincibility, making him the stronger pick specifically for higher-difficulty dungeons.

Relic Powers and Progression

• Ignoring Compasses -- skipping Sampler Dungeons means missing easy Skill Points that matter a lot for late-game leveling.
