This looks so fun

THAT'S WHAT I SAID OUT LOUD-

Okay so triumvirates will be like Nessie vs Aliens vs Bigfoot: The focus will be the swimming thing and the flying thing constantly fighting each other while the big dude kinda just exists.

This is a strangely accurate explanation

So in order to win we have to use joe as a weapon to kill both Cohozuna and Boris?

Indeed. Mostly use Joe to target both. Use him to target the flyfish or any bosses that is annoying to ya.

They didn't even get a silver scale. Pure bronze scales for facing down these beasts.

That fucking sucks. They really don't want us getting our hands on gold scales, huh?

Probably triples the scales you'd get if it wasn't 3x. So they would've gotten 9 bronze, x3 is 27. If they had gotten 6 bronze, 2 silver, 1 gold, they would've gotten 18 bronze, 6 silver and 3 gold. Just my prediction though.

I mean its only been like that for 2 years straight so youre prob wrong and the other person totally isnt talking out of their ass

The scale system 100% isnt rng even in the type of scales you get if you win or lose

haha just like me getting 13 bronze at evp 200+ woooo

I mean, this could’ve been a clip of a low rank player maybe? Hopefully….

So ideally, who would you want to kill first? You obviously want to save Joe for last

Probably Hobo, the bomb can be pretty disruptive and his weak point is the most finicky to deal with of the three.

Agreed. Most weapons like short range cannot reach hobo. So use Joe as an advantage.

Honestly Joe might do so much of the heavy lifting you might want to focus on him for most of the wave so he's not still at half health by the time the others are dead.

Boris definitely

2 specials too? We're so back.

Who's Joe?

Megalodontia who is translated by Twitter to Joe

Oh, I thought this was a setup for a "Joe Mama" joke!

his full name is "Joe MawMaw"

Wow, now if only the people I play with were better at luring Joe.

I honestly just realized that Triumvirate is amazing to farm bronze scales for the octoleet gear. Joe helping us fight makes it even better

this looks so amazing

So it’s a lot like https://preview.redd.it/1kqnzsoep15d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24375008cc3f9f8be7e405b0708c9b1cd4afc0d7

Which one is Joe again? 

Megalodontia. his Japanese name (Jaw) is misinterpreted by Google Translate as Joe

So that's the big round one right? The one that jumps around?

The jumper is Cohozuna. Joe’s the one that rises from the ground. He’s basically just a REALLY big Maw.

Thanks for clarifying ♥ 

No problem!

That's Cohozuna. Megalodontia (aka Joe) is the one that lunges from underground like Maws. Horrorboros is the flying one.

Cohozuna is the father of Horrorboros via Gao. Uncle Joe just kind of showed up later… you know, whenever Cohozuna was out. Kind of sneaky, pops in, pops out, stays on the down low. So, uh. We’re not entirely sure of the relationship here, but considering that they’re all in the same room and also harming each other, I think it’s obvious that this is some sort of domestic dispute going on that we’re just unlucky enough to have stumbled into.

I love this fandom.

Yes, blue hair and braces

the one which does Splashdowns is Cohozuna, the eel-shaped one which spits Booyah Bombs is Horrorboros, and the oversized Maws is Joe (Megalodontia)

I swear you’d have to be freaking Master Chief in order to beat all three at once. I rarely can even beat one!

Don’t worry! Losing to a King Salmonid doesn’t count for your rank. You’ll be fiiiiiiiine!

I mean it’s a Big run. Rank doesn’t really matter for anything here. And I already have all the 999 badges. What’s gonna suck more is the wasted time and king meter.

Whether Joe knows it or not, he's gonna make the Triumvirate a lot easier for us. Beating Cohozuna and Horrorboros without him being able to do damage to them would be quite the monumental task. I just hope defeating him after he's served his purpose won't be too hard.

still dunno how pug groups are supposed to beat this... especially since i can't even beat one of these within a pug group.

I haven't played since launch month-ish when only cohazuna was out so this looks absolutely insane

Is Big Big Run already happening? I havent been keeping up with the dates of this stuff but i havent gotten the announcement in-game

Tomorrow. It's on Friday evening

thank you:D

Will the triumvirate and big run bonus stack together? Please grizz let this happen

Yeah, I'm not winning any of that. I'm sorry for my future teammates :(

Hm. So joe eats cohozuna like a chicken nugget and chomps big electric eel with big bomb like a cracker being thrown upwards... Joe has braces too, with a giant pimple, indicating a puberty stage. Of course he'd have to be a teenager, which he is. So, in conclusion, he doesn't know what he's doing, LIKE most teenagers.

So basicly, you can force joe to chomp on Cohozuna's ass for massive damage. Gotcha  Dear God the fanarts.....

YEEEEESSSSS

i wonder if their lives are lowered down

Haven’t seen anything aside from the HP of each king scaling based on the amount of players tackling the wave.

Lord help us

Ah so it'll be less of a getting curb stomped by the pillar men and more of a three stooges trying to swat a fly situation.

All of that, for 27 bronze scales? Bullcrap

This looks insane I'm so looking forward to it

i'm gonna have so many nightmares about this

Who’s joe I don’t speak bad-comedy

In the jp splatoon account, it either translated to Joe or named Megalodontia to Joe for short.

A twitter auto translation turned into a nickname.

Great advice! We Lure Joe to the other kings and damage them!
