Oops, I wasn't sitting down and comfy as the battle was starting, and throwing myself in to my chair disorientates my inkling slightly. But I get myself pointing in the right direction and get to battling. Well, sort off. The Seeker won't go far with the platform up, and spinning ...

I have to hang back a bit as a Carbon Roller Deco, as I don't really project ink, and launching a Seeker makes too obvious a path for me to squid through. Holding back to ink the home turf helps everyone without putting myself at unnecessary risk. Being available to ...

E-litre 3K one way, Tri-slosher the other, and I guess wrong which one splats me. And there's an annoying interloper near our base. I may miss him with my Disruptor, but I do well not to get splatted immediately a second time. I do a bit of tidying up before ...

This is a curious Rainmaker battle. Everyone wants to push forwards, but no one really wants to carry the rainmaker. Myself included, really. We get down to the bottom ledge quickly, burst the Rainmaker's Shield, and hold back or flank, but that's fairly standard. Picking up the Rainmaker then is ...

Okay, I guess wrong where the yellow inkling is hiding, and there's nothing embarrassing about getting ambushed by a Carbon Roller. That Luna Blaster is just a pain, though, as they all are. We don't stop the yellow push until they've got a big lead, but my squidmates are quick ...

Should I sneak around the back, should I focus on the objective? I'm torn, but my squidmates help me out, so I head around the back. The Beakon tempts me, so I destroy it, not seeing a charger. But maybe I should have looked harder. I should probably also not ...

Woo, nice aim with that first Seeker, not hitting the wall, our plinth, or the non-inkable ramp! I ignore the path I'm making to favour trying to hit the green team from the side, though. I need a bit more ink first, as Seekers are quite thirsty, but I press ...

Phew, how much ink does that inkling have in his tank? I think I only survive because of my squidmate adding to my own ink. At least I end up in a fairly good position to slosh over the Tower as the yellow team make the first push, and the ...

I would give a pro-tip not to run headlong in to enemy ink, but I was splatted from above. I suppose the advice should be not to run in to obvious crossfire. Either way, don't copy my start to this battle. I come back to claim some turf, and as ...

I'm glad there's another squid with Seekers who can aim them down a straight corridor, as it makes up for my launching one in to the wall. We get to our Splat Zone quickly as a result, and capture it nice and early. After that, it's time to work the ...
