Helping the Rainmaker along

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

The Tri-slosher wasn't working for me in Rainmaker, so I've swapped to the Splattershot Jr, hoping for a better result. I flank the opposition to start with, mostly becuase at this level it seems too reckless to head straight for the Rainmaker. I don't get much of a result, although at ...

Great comeback in Rainmaker

Tuesday, September 20th, 2016

Romain was on our team in the last battle, and he seemed pretty good. Now he's on the other side. I hope that doesn't bode ill. It's the first battle of the evening on Mahi-Mahi Resort too, so naturally I get confused by what is water and what isn't. And ...

Solid Rainmaker

Tuesday, September 20th, 2016

Sticking with the Tri-slosher for Rainmaker, although I don't expect another battle like the last very often. I go for the charger again, because that worked well for me last time. Not so this time. I'm not convinced his aim was pointed sufficiently at me, but so it goes. I ...

Tri-slosher killing spree in Rainmaker

Monday, September 19th, 2016

[I've had to edit out a few seconds of the video, as the recording glitches and cannot be rendered] Ranked rotates to Rainmaker! Let's give the Tri-slosher a try. It's maybe not the ideal weapon for Rainmaker, but I like it as a general weapon anyway. I make an early beeline ...

Trying my best in Rainmaker

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

After a fair start to the session, everything goes to pot. I try the Splatterscope, Tri-slosher Nouveau, Aerospray RG, and Dual Squelcher all to little effect. The other inklings are just all over me, and I'm getting very frustrated. I swap back to the Splattershot Jr, my first choice of weapon ...

Going for the podium in Arowana Mall Rainmaker

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

I didn't mean to drop through that grate, but never mind. You work with what you're given, and at least I didn't fall in to the water. My first splatting is delayed. Chasing down the Squiffer is maybe not the best idea. In a different battle, the other team dunks the ...

Losing sight of the Rainmaker

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

My plan is to go after that Splatterscope at the start of the battle. I think I know a quick way to the perch. My plan works too! I splat the Splatterscope, and get a second splat when moving on. My squidmates even get the Rainmaker and advance it healthily. Getting ...

Frantic Rainmaker

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

I'm eschewing the temptation to equip the Splatterscope initially for Arowana Mall, instead opting for the Splattershot Jr. I should be more mobile and, with the Bubbler, more resilient. If I remember the Bubbler, that is. I don't mean to pick up the Rainmaker that first time. I was just going ...

Just goin' for the E-litre in Rainmaker

Sunday, September 11th, 2016

The plan to concentrate on the E-litre 3K worked so well in the previous battle (in a way) that I have the same plan in this battle. A good E-litre really can disrupt a Rainmaker battle, but so can being distracted by trying to splat an E-litre 3K, as I demonstrate. The ...

Did I help? Flounder Heights Rainmaker

Sunday, September 11th, 2016

There's an E-litre 3K on the other team. That could pose a problem for us if he sets up on the standard Flounder Heights perch. My plan is to flush him out and give my squidmates a chance to get the Rainmaker anywhere near the goal. I think my plan works. Sure, ...
