The battle to burst the Rainmaker's Shield is tight, the decisive moment being the Splash-o-matic's Suction Bomb Rush charging, which poses problems for us by itself. I push up when it looks safe, hoping to catch up with the Rainmaker scooting off down the side. But it's not quite safe ...

Look at all those Seekers! It's beautiful. There's a Suction Bomb too, not one of ours, and I just about get out of its way before it explodes, unlike a couple of green inklings and the Rainmaker's Shield. But my stay is temporary, and I turn back only to be ...

Yes! I'm not the only one who has to take time to aim a Seeker. I don't know whose makes it past the block, but one is all that was needed. I head right around the back, just about catching one inkling by surprise, and roll up on the other ...

It's tough aiming straight, even with Seekers. At least I don't get in the way of our charger, and my Seeker almost reaches its limit before exploding, all of which lets us move up quickly. I hit the side, as I tend to do, and get a nice early splat, ...

I don't aggressively plunge myself in to a silly situation to start this battle, and I survive more than fifteen seconds. I should hang back and be sensible more often. I send out Seekers to make ink tracks, and try to keep myself safe. We lose the Splat Zones to ...

There's a charger on the other team, so my starting gambit is to head right around the back to see if I can splat them on their perch. She's not on the perch, though, and before I drop down to catch her from behind, a squidmate has done it first. ...

My standard gambit on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones works smoothly, and an opportunistic flick gets my first splat, no doubt surprising the purple inkling coming over the wall. With no opposition, I push forwards early, crossing the bridge and dropping down on what looks like an easy splat, but the ...

Those Sprinklers are tenacious. Long-range weapons also have an obvious advantage in Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones. I doubt my Carbon Roller's flick would reach across the gap at all. But we play to our strengths, so I keep the local turf inked as my squidmates head off to engage the ...

We get to our Splat Zone cleanly enough, and two of us go through it. I turn back, as is normal, to help secure the Splat Zone. The blue team are pushing early to contest it, though. One squidmate succumbs to the ink, and although I repel one intruder, I ...

That barrier is not Seeker friendly, so I head in the other direction, but still don't launch a Seeker. I try to sneak up the back of the moving platform, which seems a bit tricky when you have to ink all the way up the wall first. Somehow, it pays ...
