Rainmaker is a fun mode for Ranked battles. It takes a little explaining, but once you have the basics it's all pretty simple. There's a special weapon called the Rainmaker, which has its own shield. You need to throw loads of ink at the shield, at which point it bursts ...

I've seen chargers being used on Kelp Dome before, but normally in the tentacles of competent squids. They manage to find good perches that allow them decent lines-of-sight, and can recharge their ink when they want. When I've tried a charger on Kelp Dome, I find I either have a ...

Although a charger can work quite well on Blackbelly Skatepark, as many squids on the opposing team have shown me, I revert to using the excellent Tri-slosher for Tower Control. The map is so contoured that there are many good vantage points from which to splash ink down on unsuspecting ...

More Splatterscope use on Moray Towers during Tower Control. It's a decent start, splatting an opposing charger when she's not looking, but then I get tunnel vision and miss seeing the kid inking her way up to my little perch. A few more good moves, avoiding a Killer Wail, a ...

After the chaos of five chargers on Tower Control in Arowana Mall, the battle in Moray Towers is rather more subdued. The only charger in the battle is the Splatterscope I have equipped, which puts rather a lot of pressure on my tentacles. I relax a little after I get ...

Arowana Mall and Moray Towers are in the Ranked map rotation, which can only mean one thing: squids are equipping their chargers! This includes me, now that I quite enjoy using the Splatterscope, particularly on these maps, which are much suited to charger use. The only problem is that the ...

Titles for battles are difficult. There are only so many combinations of events that occur, even if the battles themselves are wonderfully dynamic. In this case, I encounter a couple of Krakens. Excellent, I think, when the second appears. At least I have a title for my video.
I start at ...

A change of scenery! Museum d'Alfonsino crops up in the Pineapple Splatfest. It's quite an open map, with some side routes, and just one way to cross the middle—up and across the central rotating platform. That's quite a pinch point, and as I show quite early, you need to watch ...

The fun with the Kelp Splatterscope was good, but I want Pineapples to be recognised as tasty on a pizza, so I pull out the Splash-o-matic once more. Maybe we've already had too much havoc on Arowana Mall, but this last foray in to my wreaking it is perhaps the ...

It's the following morning of the Splatfest. After an evening of wreaking havoc with the Splash-o-matic I decide to switch back to my Splatterscore. I know I can be useful on Arowana Mall, I've found good tactics for Kelp Dome, and there is a lot of open space on Museum ...
