Taking the scenic route in Rainmaker

Thursday, July 14th, 2016

Splat two inklings with the Rainmaker's shield, wait for someone to grab it, then miss them and get splatted from both sides. I'm not entirely sure what my squidmates were doing at the start of the battle. As always, I could improve my aim, but I have fun with the Splatterscope, ...

Splatting too late in Rainmaker

Wednesday, July 13th, 2016

Arowana Mall is a great place for chargers. We have two on our team, they have none. But what good is a charger as a suppressive weapon when no one wants to carry the Rainmaker. I suppose I'll do it. Once I've shown that the Rainmaker is benign, my squidmates have ...

Losing the lead in Rainmaker

Tuesday, July 12th, 2016

Running around with a charger, maybe I shouldn't be the one who grabs the Rainmaker and gets it close to the podium at the start of the battle. That doesn't stop me doing it, though. It's a better idea than trying to actually splat inklings with my charger, though. My aim ...

Skirting around the Splat Zones

Monday, July 11th, 2016

'Secure the Splat Zones' is more of a guideline than an objective, really. I suppose it depends on my mood, my weapon, and what my squidmates are up to. In this battle, I enjoy getting past the Splat Zones and in to enemy territory, where they probably don't expect me to ...

Losing track of the Rainmaker

Sunday, July 10th, 2016

I had a lot of fun with the Tri-slosher the other day, so I give it another go today. I apparently forgot that the previous Ranked mode was Tower Control, where the bucket is perhaps more useful, but that's okay! Rainmaker is fun too. I get a bit carried away with ...

Kelp Dome Rainmaker dunk

Saturday, July 9th, 2016

I find my Splatterscope works better when my own squidmates don't jump in front of me. Take note, inklings, particularly at the start of battles. Jumping off the base when you have a charger trying to lay a track can be counter-productive. My charger also works better from a distance. I ...

Some splatting in Rainmaker

Friday, July 8th, 2016

Another shaky start in this battle of Rainmaker. My aim and our Rainmaker carrying gets a bit better in the middle, but then I'm back to squidding on grates to refill my ink like a newbie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW1HFihHAlE I manage to get some good splats in still, and although I can't hit a ...

Falling at the last hurdle in Rainmaker

Thursday, July 7th, 2016

We get a great lead from the start, thanks to a clever inkling managing to sneak along the grating to come down a rather less-used route to the podium. We keep the pressure on, with the Rainmaker staying in opposition territory, until one of their inklings goes the long away back ...

Hard fought Tower Control

Wednesday, July 6th, 2016

I had my couple of games with the Splatterscope, and they worked quite well after the Tri-slosher, albeit not quite as fluidly. But just as I am ready to call it a night, I see that I am one win away from being On Fire. I can't leave it like ...

Going for the goal in Tower Control

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016

I've had plenty of fun with the Tri-slosher in Tower Control this evening. I swap to the Splatterscope to see if I can continue this trend, or if my first choice of weapon was wiser. Camp Triggerfish should be friendlier to the charger than the slosher, with its long corridors and ...
