Fish scale
Fish scales are a currency inSplatoon 3. They are obtained mainly by defeatingKing Salmonids inSalmon Run Next Wave.
Earning
Fish scales can be obtained from reaching anXtrawave inSalmon Run Next Wave, and since version9.0.0 also from certainreward capsules. Each player is guaranteed to earn at least two scales from an Xtrawave regardless of its outcome, plus an additional scale for every 12.5% (1/8) of damage done to the King Salmonid's health bar (rounded down). If the players manage to defeat the King Salmonid, they will earn nine scales plus an extra scale for every ten seconds remaining on the clock (rounded up), up to a maximum of thirteen total scales when there are 31 or more seconds left.[1] If a player or team encounters aTriumvirate, they will receive triple the amount of fish scales than they normally would.
Fish scales have three rarities consisting of bronze, silver, and gold. The quality of scales gained from an Xtrawave is determined at random for each scale, with higher-quality scales being more common at higherHazard Levels.[2] The probability of a received scale being silver or gold is 5% and 0% respectively at the minimum Hazard Level of 0%, or 20% and 3% respectively at Hazard Level MAX (333.0%). The probability increases linearly for intermediate Hazard Levels.[1]Regardless of contribution, each player receives the same number and quality of scales.
Examples
- A team reduces the King Salmonid to 70% health before being wiped out. Each player earns four total scales (two guaranteed and an additional two for damage dealt), all four being bronze.
- At Hazard Level MAX, a team manages to defeat the King Salmonid with two seconds left on the clock. Each player receives ten scales (9+1), including
7,
2 and
1. - Another team manages to defeat the King Salmonid within just 38 seconds, receiving the maximum of thirteen scales (9+4), including
4 and
9. Even in this best-case scenario, there is only a 34% chance of obtaining at least one gold scale.
