Going long in Rainmaker (15-6, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, August 9th, 2017

Ooh, an E-litre 3K on the green side. Can I beat the Carbon Rollers to the centre, sneak around the side, and splat the charger from behind? Nope, as a green ink trail appears before I get to the centre. It turns out to be the E-litre 3K's shot, but ...

Mini splats in Rainmaker (6-5, Zink Mini Splatling)

Wednesday, August 9th, 2017

I saw some nice footage of a Mini Splatling being amazing, so thought I'd replicate it. Of course, it's just not that easy, and I'm not that good unpracticed with the Mini Splatling. It's interesting to find the rhythm of the weapon, which is helped by being able to hold ...

Sprinklers as decoys in Rainmaker (18-6, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 8th, 2017

Sneaking around the back works quite well, I'd say. I manage to squid through the grate efficiently, and get behind the Splatterscope without her suspecting anything until she's splatted. Turning to ink ahead of me lets me spot the Hydra Splatling aiming for me, and some sloshing and moving gets ...

Finding my path in Rainmaker (8-4, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 8th, 2017

I'm trying not to get splatting right at the start of battles. It's about time, right? I'm not quite sure what else to do, though, which may be clear. I think what I do is delay how soon I get avoidably splatted. So it goes. I try a bit of ...

You need to pick up the Rainmaker (3-5, Tri-slosher)

Monday, August 7th, 2017

This Rainmaker battle starts out pretty normally, albeit with a splat-threatening stutter by me when trying to squid up a wall. I get myself in to a pretty good position, ink a fair path, and get surrounded by the opposition, whereupon I'm roundly splatted. It's good to see my squidmates ...

Chaotic Rainmaker (5-8, Grim Range Blaster)

Monday, July 24th, 2017

The teal team makes a good break with the Rainmaker, which either goes unnoticed by my team or they are mostly splatted. At least I don't ignore the objective, hoping someone else takes care of it, because I think it would have been a really quick battle otherwise. I get behind ...

Rushing to the podium in Rainmaker (1-1, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, July 13th, 2017

Space gets a bit cramped as we rush out of our base, but that's not why I head to the side. I go that way to see if I can better catch any inklings coming over the wall to flank us, and because my Seekers can work well from over ...

Getting pushed back in Rainmaker (13-6, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, July 12th, 2017

Dammit, the charger has gone from his perch by the time I get there, probably because the teal team have the Rainmaker. I then spend what feels like ages just looking for another inkling. But at least I find three at once, including the charger. Hopefully that makes up for ...

Splatting back in Rainmaker (10-6, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, July 12th, 2017

Man, I think I've got that E-litre 3K Scope looking the wrong way and Disrupted, ripe for the splat, when he splats me without even looking, thanks to the Rainmaker's Shield. I have better luck with the Luna Blaster casually lobbing Splat Bombs over to us. But then I miss ...

Poor start turned around in Rainmaker (9-4, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, July 11th, 2017

Well, that dive past the Rainmaker doesn't work so well, even if I do get past a Splash Wall. And my attempt to approach the Rainmaker from behind is scuppered by an aware inkling. At least my Bubbler protects me to burst the Rainmaker out of its shield, which would ...
