Tips • Crippling Flyfish PLEASE DO NOT KILL FLYFISH! (For higher level Profreshionals only) Why? Because there are usually only up to 3 of the same type of bosses allowed at a time. If you kill a boss another can reappear immediately. When you have higher quotas to meet, simply crippling the Flyfish is the best way to make it through each wave. Otherwise, you will cause your entire team to be overrun by fully functional Flyfish (repeatedly) while you’re trying to collect your high quota of golden eggs. “…However, in higher hazard levels it is more effective to only destroy one of the missile launchers to keep the Flyfish alive, as the boss spawn rate is higher and it takes a lot of resources to take down a Flyfish. This may also prevent new Flyfish from spawning as the game typically allows up to three Boss Salmonids of the same kind to stay in game at any given time….” *Direct Source: Inkipedia, the Splatoon Wiki
