I vie for control of the tower at the start of the battle, wrest it out of two purple inklings suction cups, and do my best not to let go.
Ink management is not my strong point, it seems. Neither is noticing purple inklings behind the tower when I'm trying to ...

I try a new route to the Splat Zones in this battle. It looks pretty good, when I can make the jump. Otherwise, I am sticking to my tactic of crossing the middle and being a pest.
That massive rotating display is great for hiding and evading. Well, for me it ...

I'm having a lot of fun with the Splattershot Jr in Splat Zones on Museum d'Alfonsino. It's a versatile weapon with plenty of mobility, and the Bubbler really helps get me out of a sticky spot.
Case in point, jumping headlong in to a Killer Wail ought to teach me a ...

Splat Zones is more than controlling the Splat Zones. If you can control the turf beyond the Splat Zones, you prevent the opposition from getting close to the objective.
Of course, first you have to secure the Splat Zones yourself, and if it were that easy, everyone would do it.
Museum d'Alfonsino ...

Uh-oh, does that E-litre 3K want my normal perch? Probably, as it's a good place for a charger. I get there first, though, and thankfully put in a good show for myself, splatting the first three squids that come over the top of the ridge.
The E-litre, on the other hand, ...

Two chargers on our team, two on their team. That generally means I need to shake up my tactics, mostly to prevent the two of us stumbling over each other's tentacles.
I try to be a bit more mobile in this game, a tactic that often doesn't work with a charger, ...

I'm not sure I knew what was happening half the time in this Tower Control battle. Shoot some ink, keep your turf your colour, and squid away from trouble.
All I can say from this and the other recent battles on Urchin Underpass is that I'll try not to get salty ...

After the normal tussle in the middle of Arowana Mall, the other team gets a really good lead, nearly reaching their goal. A better-aimed Killer Wail may have pushed them to a knockout victory too.
We have a difficult task ahead of us to get the victory. But some good coordination ...

I do my bit to hold the centre of Arowana Mall against the push of the opposition, and only when it looks clear and the tower available do I try to advance the objective. That, naturally, gets me splatted.
Back to holding our position, and as I do I note the ...

I'm not too comfortable with the Splatterscope on Urchin Underpass, but as the other map in the rotation is Arowana Mall I am taking a positive can-do attitude to the Underpass today.
I don't want to be foolish and push forwards when I don't have to. I ought to provide a ...
