The battle mode changes, as do the maps, and with Port Mackerel and Camp Triggerfish available for Rainmaker I go back to the Splatterscope. Those lovely long corridors should suit the charger well.
Nope, not really. Well, not in my tentacles. This is actually a pretty poor battle for me, getting ...

I'm back with the Splatterscope! I'm hoping that having a tower to aim for will get me some splats without having to aim too hard. But we can't have everything we want, it seems.
But I do get some splats! Splat Bombs get me some splats, mostly, particularly the Splat Bomb ...

Enough losses will eventually add up to a decent total. Thankfully, I make it to SplatFest Queen with a victory! One of not many, sadly, but the few scattered here and there have been good to be a part of.
This battle goes well for us. I thank my squidmates for ...

Back for another go at the Splatfest, and I return with the Splatterscope after a couple of mediocre battles with the Wasabi Splattershot. If I'm going to get to be Splatfest Queen the slow way, I may as well make it more difficult for myself.
I can't get mad with that ...

Inking turf. That's important for a Turf War. When my Splat Bomb Rush charges, I press out from my perch to cover turf with the Bombs, and to flush out any inklings from the other team daring to cross the half-way point.
I flush out an inkling, but he's smart enough ...

A new day, still the Spongebob Splatfest. I'm back with the Splatterscope, feeling more optimistic this morning. Or just wanting to give it another go.
This is my second battle of the session, so clearly I think I can make the Splatterscope work for me, and in this battle I mostly ...

After a couple of average battles, I get to one where I simply can't get a foothold. I am out-classed, can't even hold turf, and am splatted from unexpected directions too often for me to be having any fun.
My mood drops steadily, until I finally have had enough. I can't ...

That E-litre 3K was in the previous battle. I don't rate my chances of survival in this one. But I spy her early and try to sneak a splat, which, naturally, doesn't go my way.
I regroup, though, which I have to do by myself, because my squidmates have taken the ...

First battle of the evening, and I get caught up a bit in a charger showdown. I don't know why, I'm likely to lose.
It also means I have no idea where the Rainmaker is, because I'm not looking at either the progress meter at the top of the screen or ...

More morale-destroying losses in S-Rank Rainmaker follow the previous battle. But I persevere. I have to, or I'll never drop out of S Rank, or never play Ranked battles again.
A decent first splat is followed by inching off my perch. Oops. I exercise caution and don't press forwards to the ...
