This Rainmaker battle is a great example of learning from my earlier errors. The one error I have made in the past, and still see some players make, is in using the Rainmaker's blast to ink a path, when it's not necessary.
Not this time. When I grab the Rainmaker, I ...

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 ...

I don't recklessly grab the Rainmaker immediately, and keep checking to see if we're about to be flanked. It's a shame I miss the green ink in the background, but ultimately I don't think it matters. I also don't purposely pick up the Rainmaker, managing to inexpertly squid through the ...

I've got my eyes on that E-litre 3K, but, given her range, getting to her may be tricky. Hitting the flank seems like the best option, hopefully avoiding her gaze as I cross the Heights, and bags me an early splat from my quick movement. I consider continuing the long ...

Checking our flank on reaching the top of Flounder Heights gets a nice opportunistic splat, and returning to ink our Splat Zone gets me in the middle of some inklings. A little too in the middle, I suppose. We share control of the Splat Zones, at least. I am full ...

I can see green ink coming to the wall of our Splat Zone, but the best I can do is stall the inkling trying to squid up it. I get a splat turning back to where the rest of the action is, just about surviving myself, and squid up quickly ...

My desire to get behind the teal team has my zooming up and across the Splat Zones, and down the other side of the building to catch anyone squidding up. No one here, but an inkling is coming my way. I've kinda cornered myself too, but a Disruptor hits and ...

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 ...

There's the usual posturing around the Rainmaker at the top of the Heights, with little movement either way. I decide that it's probably about time someone grabbed the Raimnaker, so do it myself. I think I'm going to get a decent distance, and although I get fairly far, I am ...

Sneaking across the gap on Flounder Heights works when the other team isn't rushing to control the objective. To be honest, I'm surprised I'm not splatted from the side when I'm trying to splat the inkling on the ledge. But it just takes a little longer before I'm caught.
The Rainmaker ...
