I try not to rush forwards in to trouble, and take a measured approach to riding the Tower. Naturally, as soon as I get on, when it looks clear, I am under inky pressure and hop off again. As my Disruptor throw goes nowhere, I get myself somewhere, and decide ...

A Seeker for my squidmates, but I'm heading around the side to get to the other Splat Zone. Eventually, at least. Or not even eventually, as a blue inkling going the longer way around gets my attention. But I'm cautious not to get splatted, and that means I am too ...

I've not played with the Blaster for a while. A few battles reminds me why: it's pretty difficult to do well. That means I need more practice! I also know some people think the Blaster is not suited to Splat Zones, unconvinced about its ink coverage, but I think it ...

I try to make use of our Splatterscope's ink to go faster, rather than slosh redundant ink. It works to get me closer to the E-litre 3K scope faster. Even though it's the Octoshot Replica that splats me, I'm more concerned about the E-litre 3K and attribute the splat to ...

Trying to jump around the Rainmaker to engage the yellow inklings doesn't quite go to plan, but at least I'm safely knocked to the ground. Or so I think. Maybe a less direct route would be better. A squidmate agrees, although I am now quite aware that the yellow team ...

I spy that inkable block for Rainmaker. That'll stop me taking the long route around the side for no reason. I get up on to the perch nice and quickly, but the Rainmaker Shield once more obstructs my aim. And I almost have a point this time, because despite my ...

Despite my haste, I don't make the jump to the rotating platform to get to the other side of the map, but perhaps that's for the best. I stay unsplatted, ink the Splat Zones, and splat a purple inkling. I even dodge a Kraken, which is a bonus.
Okay, I can't ...

Saltspray Rig Splat Zones is often quite a one-sided affair. Whoever gets an early grip on the Zones and gets behind them, the battle is often over. There is a major choke point at the front of the Zones, trying to come in from above is easily covered by anyone ...

I'm careful not to get in our charger's way whilst he's aiming, and that first purple inkling takes a bit of ink to splat him, but we're on our way. The second inkling is hiding in plain sight, just squidin' on the ground, and I'm a bit lucky that our ...

I can tell this battle is going to be tough from the team compositions. Two chargers, a bucket, and a roller for us, three shooters and a charger for them. It's going to be rough for us. Still, it's a fairly standard start, as I help ink our Splat Zone ...
