Splatoon Raiders best builds – Pocket Tactics

The question of what the best Splatoon Raiders build is can be hard to answer. Really, it all comes down to what your preference is in terms of how you deal damage. Do you prefer all ink, all the time? Or do you want a single laser-focused beam of ink you can control?

Each of the three tanks you can use has a different list of Splatoon Raiders gadgets you can equip to it. You can equip up to three at a time. By leveling up your tank, you can use a gadget from a different tank. To make that a bit clearer, if you have the Power tank equipped, you can use a Speed gadget. If you have the Tactical tank equipped, you can use a Power gadget, and if you have the Speed tank, you can use a Tactical gadget.
