How to Clear Bottomless Buffet 100 Floors in Splatoon Raiders

After completing Splatoon Raiders‘ main story, Bottomless Buffet becomes the ultimate endgame challenge. Every few floors enemies become stronger, attacks become faster, and Survivalist difficulty means you can be defeated in only a handful of hits. Simply having powerful weapons isn’t enough—you need excellent movement, smart target priority, and an optimized build if you want to reach Floor 100 consistently.

Why mobility matters more than damage

The biggest mistake many players make is trying to build like a traditional shooter. Bottomless Buffet is designed around survival first. Enemy attacks overlap constantly, elite Salmonids appear in groups, and staying stationary almost always leads to defeat.

Your movement is your defense. The faster you reposition, the fewer attacks you need to dodge directly. High mobility also lets gadget cooldowns refresh naturally while you keep pressure on enemies.

Because Survivalist difficulty greatly increases incoming damage, avoiding attacks entirely is far more effective than relying on healing or defensive upgrades.

The strongest build for clearing 100 floors

The community has settled on a very consistent setup that balances speed, damage, and survivability.

Equipment	Recommendation	Why it works
Tank	Speed Tank	Highest mobility and repositioning potential
Gadget 1	Fly Wire	Cross maps instantly and escape danger
Gadget 2	Jump Bomb	Excellent vertical mobility and crowd control
Damage Bonus	Damage Surge	Massive burst damage against elites
Ultimate	Fry’s Showstopper	Clears dangerous enemy waves quickly

The Speed Tank’s mobility lets you spend less time exposed to enemy attacks, while Fly Wire creates instant escape routes whenever arenas become crowded. Jump Bomb complements this perfectly by providing aerial movement while also damaging or freezing groups depending on your build.

Damage Surge is especially valuable because fully stacked bonuses can dramatically increase your damage output, allowing dangerous enemies to be eliminated before they overwhelm the arena.

How to play every encounter safely

Step 1

Start each floor by identifying the most dangerous enemies instead of charging into crowds.

Step 2

Immediately eliminate sniper towers, bomb throwers, and laser-shooting sharks. These enemies restrict movement, making every other encounter much harder.

Step 3

Keep moving constantly. Standing still for even a few seconds allows enemy attacks to overlap.

Step 4

Use Fly Wire aggressively instead of saving it for emergencies. Frequent repositioning prevents situations from becoming dangerous.

Step 5

Stay airborne whenever possible using Jump Bombs, movement abilities, and terrain. Less time on the ground means fewer attacks connect.

Step 6

Build Damage Surge stacks before engaging tougher elite enemies to maximize burst damage.

Step 7

Save Fry’s Showstopper for rooms filled with elite enemies or dangerous combinations rather than single targets.

Step 8

After using your ultimate, immediately relocate instead of standing near defeated enemies, since reinforcements often arrive quickly.

Which enemies should always be eliminated first

Not every enemy deserves equal attention.

Priority	Enemy Type	Reason
Highest	Sniper Towers	Constant long-range pressure
Highest	Bomb Tossers	Area denial limits movement
High	Laser Sharks	Force dangerous positioning
Medium	Elite Salmonids	High health and damage
Lower	Basic enemies	Clean up after major threats

Removing enemies that interfere with movement makes every encounter dramatically easier, even if stronger enemies remain alive temporarily.

How to survive Floors 80 to 100

The final twenty floors are where most runs end.

Enemy density increases significantly while elite combinations become much more common. Rather than rushing objectives, slow your pace and maintain control of the battlefield.

During these floors, prioritize safe positioning over maximum damage. Even if fights take slightly longer, surviving consistently is more valuable than risking a failed run.

If you’re playing co-op, avoid grouping together. Spreading out reduces the chance that multiple players are defeated by the same attack while allowing teammates to revive one another when necessary. Community discussions also recommend multiplayer for the final stretch if you’re struggling solo.
