Attacks
The Scornet Maestro isn't as much of a threat as the Scornets it commands: the Scornets will fly in and attack the player's squad, but the Scornets will attack in three formations. The first formation involves the Scornets organizing themselves into a conical shape, which will shoot Scornets at the Pikmin. The Maestro repeats this attack until its health is lowered to 50%, after which it utilizes another formation. The Scornet Maestro makes the Scornets line up into a five-row deep rectangular formation, which the Scornet Maestro will send at the Pikmin, one row at a time. It will repeat this until its health is further lowered to 25%, to which it will use its most dangerous attack yet. The final attack involves the Scornets circling around the leader's squad of Pikmin, slowly closing in.
Strategy to defeat
The Scornet Maestro is defenseless without its Scornets. After each attack, the Maestro is vulnerable; the player should use Winged Pikmin to attack, as it is airborne. However, each new attack is increasingly harder to avoid. When the Scornets use their second attack, the player should move their squad to the side to avoid their Pikmin being snatched up. In the event of Pikmin being snatched up, the Scornets with Pikmin will circle around the Maestro; the player needs to use Winged Pikmin to free them. When the Scornets circle around the squad, the player should make a gap in the circle with Winged Pikmin. After its defeat, the Scornet Maestro drops Louie, along with the Seed Hive, a papaya, worth 2 1/2 bottles of juice.
