How to Play Clam Blitz

Collect Clams Around the Map

At the start of the match, there are 30 clams you need to collect scattered around the map in Clam Blitz mode. These clams are used to get you points by throwing them to your opponent's clam basket.

Break the Opponent's Barrier

Collecting eight clams will transform your clam into a Power Clam which can be used to break the opposing team's barrier for you to score. You can only have one Power Clam at a time.

Throw the Clams in the Basket

Once the opposing team's barrier is broken, you can deposit your clam into the opponent's goal by pressing A, which will reward your team points. The broken barrier will only last 10 seconds but can be extended by throwing more clams into it.

Clam Blitz Tips and Tricks

Focus on Getting a Power Clam

At the start of the match, you want to focus on gathering as much clam to get a Power Clam. This will allow you to break your opponent's barrier to get your team to score.

Be careful since you'll most likely be targetted by the enemy team with the number of clams you have, so have your team stick with you as much as possible.

Using Specials Drops your Clams

Although specials like Splashdown or Baller have not been confirmed to return, in Splatoon 2, using them will make you drop all the clams you are currently holding, so make sure you use your specials wisely to avoid losing your clams.

Power Clams are Visible when Swimming

It's important to know that when you're holding a power clam, your opponents can see it while you are swimming. Make sure to steer clear of your enemies and avoid swimming when enemies are near.

Clams Despawns After Some Time

After getting splatted, quickly head back to the area where you lost your Clams, as the clams despawn after a set period of time.
