How to Level Up Bond Fast in Splatoon Raiders

If you want to level Bond in Splatoon Raiders quickly, run short Dens with the Bot Buddy you want to upgrade. Temprah Den is the best early farm after Ferdi Island and level 15, because Salmonids cluster near the middle and the run is short. Complete the dungeon, return to the Hideout Ship, and the Bot Buddy will talk to you when their Bond Level increases.

Here's the important bit: Bond progress is not locked behind one perfect route. Any normal dungeon run with Shiver, Frye, or Big Man as your Showstopper gives progress, including Dens and older missions you have already beaten. The only major catches are that Sample dungeons from Compasses do not count, and you must make it to the end of the dungeon, even if you technically fail the run.

Bond matters because it strengthens the Deep Cut Showstoppers, the big special abilities that can swing a Salmon Run-style mission. The final upgrades are not tiny flavor changes; Shiver and Frye both gain stronger damage, larger area, and an added status effect. If you plan to use Bot Buddies often, Bond leveling is one of the easiest ways to make those runs feel smoother.
