I do my bit as a charger at the start of a Flounder Heights battle and ink the short-cut up the building. A Sprinkler thrown across the gap probably won't last long, but it will impede purple progress slightly. I look for possible wall climbers from the side, but the ...

I don't rush for the Tower, to be a little more sensible than usual, but still rush to the heart of the dome. A Burst Bomb and indirect hit don't do much together, maybe hitting different inklings, but somehow I remain unmolested for long enough to get two indirect hits ...

Whee, I remember Burst Bombs at the start of the battle, when I'm under no pressure. Rushing to the Tower still probably isn't a great idea, though, putting myself at the centre of attention. I have to hop off pretty quickly, to avoid a Splat Bomb, and get a couple ...

Disruptors are being thrown everywhere at the start of this battle. I dunno who's doing it, but thankfully none of them are hitting me. I'm also not hitting anything myself, so as soon as a gap appears I try to do something positive and clamber on to the Tower. I ...

Sometimes alternative routes can work out really well. I jink left as I drop down Moray Towers, hoping that the Splatterscope misses this movement, and I can surprise her from a different angle. It almost works, but I don't anticipate the Luna Blaster in my way. Perhaps I should have ...

I make a fairly normal, overly aggressive push to start the battle, and am splatted back to base. At least I can count on my squidmates to be more sensible but, checking the status of the map, the battle looks lop-sided. As I return to the battle, I keep my ...

I do well not to get ambushed at the start of the battle, and to stay just outside the range of the Rainmaker's Shield afterwards. Pushing up for my own little aggressive move gets one splat, and although my Bubbler keeps me safe from the ink for a bit, getting ...

Now that I can squid under the closing gate reliably, I am determined to make this side route work for the Carbon Roller Deco. The Seeker this time takes a really nice line, letting me recoup ink and splatting the wall to squid up. I hit my head, which isn't ...

Trying to get behind the blue inklings is probably doomed from the moment the Luna Blaster saw my Seeker trail. Doesn't stop me trying, but I'm not always the smartest. Coming back with a bit more caution just makes me look confused. I miss one inkling passing me, and I ...

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 ...
