Flow Aura State write-up (alt text in images) #Splatoon3

Flow Aura State requires you to reach 100 points to activate. In this, I will be referring to these points as flow points for ease of reading. Here is a list of things that can give you points.

- Painting 10p grants you 0.8 flow points (0.6 flow points in Ranked modes)

- Kills grant 23 flow points, up until 75 points in which it will grant 15.
- Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 75 flow points or higher.). This can repeat (eg. getting 3 kills in a row will apply this on your 2nd and 3rd kill).
- Killing someone with Flow Aura grants an extra 10 flow points.
- Getting the first kill of the lobby grants an extra 10 flow points.

- You or your team causing a Wipeout grants 10 flow points (stacks with kill).

- Getting an assist grants 4 flow points.
- If the assist is through a damaging method specifically, this increases to 14 flow points instead.

- Dying causes you to lose 5 flow points.
- If your death is by a stage hazard, this increases to 10 flow points lost.

While you can reach 100 points without getting kills, Flow Aura State will not activate until you get a kill.

Your flow points decrease by 0.2 every second. If you have gone 5 seconds without gaining any flow points, this increases to 3.3 flow points lost per second.
Once you have Flow Aura State, it lasts for 30 seconds. Any further kill or assist adds 10 seconds to this timer, but it caps out at 30 seconds total.

Flow Aura State grants 30 AP (aka 3 mains) of Intensify Action, Run Speed Up, Swim Speed Up, and Ink Resistance Up. This cannot go beyond the usual cap of 57 AP.

Notably, some parameters differ in Tricolor Turf War. Below, I've bolded any values that have changed compared to normal. (I am not sure how to denote this in alt text, my apologies.)

Attackers require 90 flow points to activate Flow Aura State. Kills grant 23 points, up until 65 points in which it will grant 15.
Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 65 flow points or higher.)

Defenders require 110 flow points to activate Flow Aura State. Kills grant 23 points, up until 85 points in which it will grant 15. Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 85 flow points or higher.)

Another thing to note, there are parameters for many ranked objectives that are set to 0, essentially making them go unused. I will note them below, as they could be considered in a future patch.

So you know that funny tri-stringer comp that keeps popping off in Area Cup? We decided to try it, and it might work a little too well...and is very silly....
