My opening gambit doesn't work very well, perhaps leaving my squidmates one inkling down letting the green team get the upper hand. Then again, they dominate us for a while, so maybe I'd just have been splatted going along the main corridor. My second attempt doesn't go any better, with ...

I don't think that squidbagging is deserved at the start of the battle, but whatever. At least my squidmates do a bit better, pushing the Rainmaker a bit, and I try to keep it going, but I don't get too far when a Splat Bomb lands next to me as ...

My Fresh Squiffer versus the E-litre 3K. Who could possibly win this match-up?! Well, the E-litre 3K would, if I tried to take her on conventionally. Luckily, I don't, and remember my Suction Bombs and other neat things like hiding behind walls. The other Squiffer is a complication, but I ...

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 ...

I'm not quite sure what's a good opening for a Carbon Roller in the Museum for Rainmaker, so I just ink some turf before deciding to move forwards to burst the Rainmaker. The green team are more organised in that respect, though, but at least I can stop their first ...

The inkling coming over the bridge causes me pause, and dropping back helps splat the inkling that came over the ramp. I resume my squidding over the perch, but no one's there, probably because there's no charger on the blue team.
I turn to see what the Rainmaker's doing, and as ...

Not my best Seeker to start with, but it'll do. My channel around the Rainmaker is blocked by a Roller, so I pause to flick at the shield before not fooling the Roller at all to try sneaking around the side. At least I don't get splatted. The other side ...

Going full-speed in Squad Battles only gets me splatted really easily, really often, so I try to practice some caution to start this battle. Maybe I should apply that elsewhere, but I think I'm happy to stay at the low A ranks and be reckless and dumb. I also kinda ...

I like this side route on Camp Triggerfish Rainmaker. If you can just squeeze under the gate, you can move around the side quicker than inklings expect, which lets you appear on their flank as rather a surprise. Add a bit of caution, and you can control the centre of ...

Jumping in to grab the newly burst Rainmaker looks like a bad idea pretty quickly, but thankfully I jump to the side just in time to dodge the Killer Wail. It doesn't really put me in a good position, though, not with a charger, but I don't know why my ...
