I'm kinda getting the hang of the Blaster. It helps to pay attention to the composition of the other team, see two chargers, and understand what they are likely to be doing. Or, perhaps, not doing, which is not look to their sides very often.
Flanking a charger is an effective ...

I've worked out that going up to the centre of the platform in Kelp Dome on Rainmaker is a sure way to get splatted by its shield, and instead take one of the jutting columns. Much better.
If I can work out what can stop an Inkzooka splatting me, I think ...

What the hell are my team doing at the start of this Rainmaker battle? They go every which way but actually towards the Rainmaker. And there's a growing body of empirical evidence that all I'll manage to do at the start is get splatted. Oh well.
At least we get a ...

Okay, I know what's happening at the beginning of this battle. It's pretty straightforward, and I am in the middle of it. The second push looks pretty clear too, right up until the Rainmaker is dunked on the podium. The animation plays and everything, but our inkling gets splatted and ...

Splat two inklings with the Rainmaker's shield, wait for someone to grab it, then miss them and get splatted from both sides. I'm not entirely sure what my squidmates were doing at the start of the battle.
As always, I could improve my aim, but I have fun with the Splatterscope, ...

Running around with a charger, maybe I shouldn't be the one who grabs the Rainmaker and gets it close to the podium at the start of the battle. That doesn't stop me doing it, though.
It's a better idea than trying to actually splat inklings with my charger, though. My aim ...

I had a lot of fun with the Tri-slosher the other day, so I give it another go today. I apparently forgot that the previous Ranked mode was Tower Control, where the bucket is perhaps more useful, but that's okay! Rainmaker is fun too.
I get a bit carried away with ...

I find my Splatterscope works better when my own squidmates don't jump in front of me. Take note, inklings, particularly at the start of battles. Jumping off the base when you have a charger trying to lay a track can be counter-productive.
My charger also works better from a distance. I ...

We get a great lead from the start, thanks to a clever inkling managing to sneak along the grating to come down a rather less-used route to the podium.
We keep the pressure on, with the Rainmaker staying in opposition territory, until one of their inklings goes the long away back ...

As much as I like the Splatterscope, and it is more and more becoming my main weapon, I really enjoy running around with a rapid-fire shooter. It lets me be a nuisance in different ways.
I get a great start in this Splat Zones battle, albeit after an early splatting. I ...
