That's a nice Disruptor to start the battle, but I don't count on there being two other inklings supporting the Disrupted one. And we're already being infiltrated by the time I am back in the battle, giving us some housekeeping to perform. At least the Rainmaker doesn't get too far.
I ...

Nope, not one more battle in B+. After that last victory, we had a loss, then magikarp turned up again, on my team no less, stacking another loss. But I wield the bucket with vigour, and I am once again close to being back in the A ranks.
I feel bad ...

My losing streak/skill degradation/poor choices continue, and not even switching to the Tri-slosher can stop my falling in to the B+ rank. Still, I'm confident the bucket can get me back out of there pretty quickly.
I'm helped a little by one inkling apparently trying to tank his ranking, turning up ...

I quite like scoped chargers, mostly when I'm aiming to flank them. They don't know I'm coming until the ink hits, and then it's too late. My position after hitting the E-litre 3K is good for clambering on to the Tower too, as the other purple inklings aren't around. I ...

Ooh, a charger on the other team. Can I surprise her on the usual perch? Nope, doesn't look like she's there. There are inklings beneath me, though, and I have a bucket. My sloshing doesn't quite work out as intended this time. But I get back on the grating to ...

That slightly extended intro seems ominous, but I think little more of it, seeing chargers on the blue team, and make a beeline towards the usual perch. There's a charger there, but they drop, or fall, so I have to give chase. Or wait a moment, and she pops up. ...

Not focussing fully on the Rainmaker's Shield generally helps, as splatting an opposing inkling will reduce the incoming ink from the other team. I get a nice splat in this vein to start the battle, and move up to find a second splat as I hear my ink hit something. ...

That Disruptor throw wasn't too bad a move. Running backwards in to the Splat Bomb was pretty bad, though. Trying to splat the Inkzooka would be a good move, but not when she's on our team, and doing so lets the other team burst the Rainmaker Shield, splatting us both. ...

Man, I still can't throw Disruptors reliably, my first attempt in this battle hitting the floor at my feet. That most contribute a little to my getting splatted, but I could have backed off too. So it goes. My second throw does much better, catching two inklings, and it's only ...

I'm having another go with the Zinc Mini Splatling. It's pretty tricky to get right. I'm mostly finding that I my shooting stops without my realising, but when I can get the timing right I can almost be effective. I protect our charger at the start of this battle, which ...
