Match scoring and roster upgrades
Scoring in Fish Squad relies on team eliminations. Each time you or your partner eliminate an opponent, your team receives one point. Surviving enemy attacks is just as crucial, because every defeat hands a point over to the other side. When the 90 seconds timer concludes, the team holding the higher point count takes the victory.
Every victory delivers two valuable rewards: experience points and surprise cans. Experience points allow you to enhance your favorite fish, boosting its battle effectiveness. Opening surprise cans expands your collection with new creatures from the 14 roster choices, providing distinct weapon styles and tactical special skills to try out.
Tips and strategy
- Coordinate with your partner: Focus fire on a single target to score rapid eliminations instead of splitting your damage.
- Steer clear of floor hazards: Keep an eye on sea urchins resting on the ground so you do not lose health needlessly while moving.
- Save special abilities for clusters: Trigger your Shift power when both enemies are close together to maximize its impact.
- Grab drifting loot: Pick up falling ocean treasures as you move across platforms to gather bonus items throughout the round.
- Play defensively with a lead: If your team leads on points with seconds left on the clock, avoid risky charges and protect your advantage.
