Quick decision

Which Splatoon Raiders Tank should you choose?

There is no universal best Tank. Pick the one whose Gadgets solve the problem you face most often. You can switch Tanks between missions, so your first choice is not permanent.

Speed Tank

Mobility, fast attacks and evasive movement.

Choose Speed if: you want a quick way to dodge, reposition, close distance or escape while still dealing damage.

Start with: Blast Boot for a leap, Dash Bomb for multidirectional movement, or Booyarang for a returning ranged attack.

Power Tank

Direct attacks, armor breaking and crowd pressure.

Choose Power if: you prefer direct fights, wide attacks and tools that help break shields or push through Salmonid swarms.

Start with: Splatchet for shields, Splatellites for nearby pressure, or Spinwheel for forward control.

Tactical Tank

Deployables, traps and battlefield control.

Choose Tactical if: you like setting up damage, controlling space and letting deployed tools attack while you handle another target.

Start with: Shot Pot for automatic fire, Bombloons for linked blasts, or Tether Wail for laser pressure.

Compatibility rules

How Tanks, Gadget slots and Parts work

Use these rules when planning a loadout. They explain why a useful Gadget may disappear after you select a different Tank.

Gadgets are Tank-compatible

A Gadget belongs to the compatible range for Speed, Power or Tactical. You cannot treat all confirmed Gadgets as one shared starting pool.

You start with two slots

Each Tank initially equips two Gadgets. Continued Tank progression can unlock a third Gadget slot.

Gadget Parts change behavior

Parts can improve damage, fire rate or duration and can add effects such as ink explosions or knockback gas.

Tanks can be swapped

Switch between missions when a stage or preferred weapon calls for a different kind of mobility, pressure or control.

About the “best build”: final cooldowns, Part stacking, upgrade costs and complete Relic interactions still need released-game data. This tool compares confirmed functions and does not invent a tier list from promotional footage.

Quick answers

Splatoon Raiders Tanks and Gadgets FAQ

What is the best Tank in Splatoon Raiders?

There is no confirmed universal best Tank. Speed favors movement, Power favors direct close-range pressure, and Tactical favors deployable tools and battlefield control. Choose by the Gadgets you want to use.

Can every Gadget be used with every Tank?

No. Nintendo says each Tank is compatible with its own specialized Gadget range. Use the Tank buttons above to see the confirmed assignments.

How many Gadgets are in Splatoon Raiders?

Nintendo has publicly detailed nine by name—three for each Tank—and indicates that more Gadgets can be discovered through progression. The final total is not yet listed here.

How many Gadgets can you equip?

A Tank starts with two Gadget slots and can eventually unlock a third as it gains enhancements through use.

Can Gadgets be upgraded?

Yes. Add collected Gadget Parts to available slots to change numerical performance or add extra effects. Exact Part limits and stacking rules need in-game verification.

Data and source policy

Every card uses a Tank assignment and function described in Nintendo’s official Direct recap. Damage numbers, cooldowns and rankings remain unpublished until they can be verified in the released game.
