Splatoon Raiders tank choice
Splatoon Raiders has three tanks — Speed, Power, and Tactical. This guide helps you pick one that matches how you want to fight Salmonids.
Every Splatoon Raiders tank starts with two gadgets and can unlock a third gadget slot through tank use and Mechanic’s Shack upgrades, so your early choice shapes your whole build.
You are not locked in forever — you can develop more than one Splatoon Raiders tank — but focusing your salvage and gadget parts on one tank first gets you stronger faster.

Splatoon Raiders tanks and their gadgets
| Tank | Playstyle | Gadgets |
|---|---|---|
| 💨 Speed | Fast, aggressive hit-and-run | Blast Boot, Dash Bomb, Booyarang |
| 💪 Power | Heavy, high-damage clearing | Splatchet, Splatellites, Spinwheel |
| 🧠 Tactical | Zoning and control | Shot Pot, Bombloons, Tether Wail |
💨 Speed tank
The Splatoon Raiders Speed tank is for players who like constant movement. The Blast Boot turns traversal into offense, the Dash Bomb adds damage on the move, and the Booyarang rewards precise aim.
Pick Speed if you want to dart around Salmonids and dictate the pace of every fight.
💪 Power tank
The Splatoon Raiders Power tank trades mobility for raw impact. The Splatchet hits hard, Splatellites add extra output, and the Spinwheel clears clustered enemies.
Pick Power if you want to stand your ground and break through the toughest Salmonids.
🧠 Tactical tank
The Splatoon Raiders Tactical tank is about setup and control. The Shot Pot establishes firing positions, Bombloons zone space, and the Tether Wail locks down enemies.
Pick Tactical if you like planning engagements and controlling the battlefield before committing.
