Hitting the side quickly, getting a half-decent Disruptor throw, and pausing to avoid a flick pays off nicely to start the battle. Two inklings under my sloshes to start with, and a third who I just about manage to keep out of range from. Heading back towards the Rainmaker sees ...

This is a curious Rainmaker battle. Everyone wants to push forwards, but no one really wants to carry the rainmaker. Myself included, really. We get down to the bottom ledge quickly, burst the Rainmaker's Shield, and hold back or flank, but that's fairly standard. Picking up the Rainmaker then is ...

Okay, I guess wrong where the yellow inkling is hiding, and there's nothing embarrassing about getting ambushed by a Carbon Roller. That Luna Blaster is just a pain, though, as they all are. We don't stop the yellow push until they've got a big lead, but my squidmates are quick ...

Should I sneak around the back, should I focus on the objective? I'm torn, but my squidmates help me out, so I head around the back. The Beakon tempts me, so I destroy it, not seeing a charger. But maybe I should have looked harder. I should probably also not ...

Woo, nice aim with that first Seeker, not hitting the wall, our plinth, or the non-inkable ramp! I ignore the path I'm making to favour trying to hit the green team from the side, though. I need a bit more ink first, as Seekers are quite thirsty, but I press ...

That E-litre 3K on the other team makes me take the short-cut over the ramp to see if I can catch her out. I'm easily distracted by another inkling, though, particularly one that doesn't spy me. Following that line gets me an easy splat, and gets me under the laser ...

Checking my map as I head down the side doesn't see ink coming towards the ramp, so I ignore that area and go towards the Rainmaker. I go past the Rainmaker when I see the Splatterscope on the perch. She spots me, I dodge her shot, she dodges my bucket. ...

It's a pretty cautious start for me, mostly because I'm not entirely sure how to start a Moray Towers Rainmaker battle with the Carbon Roller Deco. I think I do quite well. At least, my Seekers do. I'm happy to have somehow sneaked underneath the Rainmaker blast too, and make ...

Trying to be conscientious about the objective doesn't go too well for me at the start of the battle. To be fair, I don't think flicking over that ledge is a good move for a Carbon Roller. I should remember that. I get lucky not being spotted dropping down the ...

We burst the Rainmaker's Shield confidently to start the battle, but trying to clear the rest of the area goes a bit pear-shaped. Still, no one grabs the Rainmaker, not even a purple inkling, and it's there for the taking when I return. I make a move, hit the moving ...
