Not my best start to a Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. I wonder if my Splatterscope squidmate will want the fence-top perch, and am willing to take the low road if he does. Our Slosher wants a bit of high-up action too, and as I can't even squid up the ...

If a battle wanted an unstable connection half-way through, this would be it. Apart from inking the back of a squidmate's head at the start, I make a cracking contribution to this Rainmaker battle. I even remember from the previous battle about that extra block that I can use to ...

So much that I do wrong or that goes wrong in this battle. Right from the start, I splat the back of a squidmate's head, not hitting the Rainmaker's shield, and then when I hit the shield I had a purple inkling right in my sights.
I would say that things ...

With Port Mackerel and Camp Triggerfish in rotation, a charger seems like a perfect weapon to choose, whatever the mode. I choose the Hydra Splatling again, for a little variety. And the mode turns out to be Rainmaker. That'll do.
I get some splats to start with, which is good. Trading ...

Time for the Tri-slosher! I think I'll be aiming for inklings more than the Splat Zones, but I never really know what I'm doing until I get in to the battle. But I almost inevitably get splatted in the first encounter. It feels that way, anyway.
After the aborted mission in ...

I'm on a losing streak. It's time to find a new weapon! That way I can either break the streak, or justify it. A scan through the weapons shows me the Mini-splatling, which I've tried before, but trying it on the test ground makes me think its range isn't as ...

I've had a couple of moderately good battles this session, along with some really bad, quite demoralising, crushing defeats. I keep battling, telling myself that at least the losses get me closer to dropping out of S Rank. And then I finish the evening with this battle.
Sure, I can't hit ...

One victory with the Splatterscope is followed by a horrid loss. The other team were very well coordinated. So it goes, and I could use some losses to drop my rank in A+ a bit. And I could use the practice with the Splatterscope. I used to get a bunch ...

The tactic to squid up the middle didn't work as planned in the previous battle, but that doesn't mean it isn't sound. I gather more evidence, and maybe it isn't the best idea.
Plan B is to rain ink down on our captured Splat Zone from the fence, and that works ...

More Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones. I try a new tactic for the start of this battle, squidding right down the middle and through our Splat Zone to falnk the enemy a different way.
The plan works initially, helped by the good inking of my squidmates, but I am spotted and awaited ...
