It's a standard start to a Rainmaker battle in Kelp Dome with the Carbon Roller Deco. My squidding goes a bit squiffy as I check to see if an inkling is coming over the ramp. Yes, it seems they are, so I prepare myself. But they don't come, so I ...

A little misstep when trying to ink a desk is nothing, and I hop back up to get my bearings. A Seeker gives me a route down to the lower level, where a squidmate inadvertently reveals a Roller for me to splat. I don't push forwards to splat a second ...

A normal start to this Rainmaker battle has my launching Seekers to ink turf and squid through. I see Seekers coming my way too, which will be interesting. I think I miss an inkling squidding behind one Seeker, but maybe not when the inkling I splat launches one. Another inkling ...

What do I have against chargers? If I see one on the other team, they will almost certainly be my focus for most of the battle, particularly an E-litre 3K. Maybe I take it more as a challenge, to out-manoeuvre them and get under their long range. Maybe I see ...

The Carbon Roller Deco is working for me again, which is good. As much as I mostly want to keep my rank stable to give me practice time with the Blaster, I also like having fun, and I'm having some fun! I nip down the side, send a Seeker out ...

I've had my Blaster practice, lost a suitable amount of ranking points in the process, and swap to a more comfortable weapon to stop losing a rank itself. Out comes the Carbon Roller Deco, and hopefully I can gain enough ranking points to pull out the Blaster again tomorrow.
There's only ...

Phew, splatted mid-air by a jumping E-litre 3K. That doesn't bode well for my safety in this battle. And I show just a bit too much caution on my return versus a hiding green inkling, letting him launch an Instrike, but when my direct hit doesn't land for a whole ...

The route off to the right on to the grating should be a good start for a Blaster, giving me a good view of what's going on, both of the Rainmaker and what's happening below. If only my range were a bit longer, I could splat that first inkling, and ...

Have I toned down my recklessness since the previous battle? Hell no! It was a lot of fun, and as long as my current rank enables me to have that fun my battling will probably remain a little loose. Of course, getting snap-splatted by the Splat Charger reminds me that ...

I honestly think that battling with the Blaster is helping me improve my skill, even if I'm winning less than half of the battles. I'm also having as much as I would with other weapons. I pull out the Carbon Roller Deco purely to stop dropping below A-, as I ...
