Teamwork gets us down our flank fairly smoothly and, with no purple ink to the side, I start sending ink towards the Splat Zones. One inkling gets nicely in my line-of-fire, but another appears from my flank, probably having gone the long way around. It's a good move, which flusters ...

That wasn't a great Seeker across the grate, but it exploded against the wall close enough to splat my target anyway. That'll do. And the grate once again catches me out, as I miss-time my squidding and fall through. I pop back up to hassle the E-litre 3K, but she's ...

That Seeker does a good job at compensating for my lack of lightning reflexes. Flanking at the start doesn't go as planned, though, but it rarely does. Still, we seem to get the jump with the Rainmaker, even if my initial support does little more than put me back in ...

My previous battle gets me warmed up for this one, where I try to apply what worked. I get a couple of early splats, then head to where I can send my Seekers to ink and splat. Going in to the corner gets me cornered by the E-litre 3K, but ...

Why am I looking up? I dunno. It's easily corrected, and I get on track immediately. It's a bit of a miss at the inkling right in front of me, but at least I don't get splatted instead, not even by the Rainmaker's shield bursting. I prefer splatting Inkzookas anyway. ...

Follow that Seeker! Our speed doesn't help us burst the Rainmaker's shield, but it doesn't seem to matter that the green team do it. Nor does it seem to matter much that I can't hit anything early on. I give up on splatting inklings, and go for the open Rainmaker ...

Holding back to start with seems to work quite well. Even if we lose early control, it's easily got back when the other team are splatted away. A bit of luck helps too, like the Splatterscope just missing my dangly ear. I wisely stay away from him, and head across ...

It is a nice move to get around the side of the platform to start with, and nearly gets me the drop on an inkling, but once I was spotted I should have moved backwards. So it goes. I look more towards the Splat Zones on my return, which helps, ...

My little bucket can reach quite far from the top of the Depot, managing to cover an entire quadrant of the Splat Zones. That's not enough, though, so when I spot a target I dive down, Disrupt, and get a bit lucky not to be splatted. I run with that ...

Hammerhead Bridge is a bit busy with obstacles. I don't consider there to be any great reasons to dash ahead, so I take it slow and steady, building a path, and some charge for my Bubbler. I then use cover sensibly, and try not to give away my intentions with ...
