I've had plenty of fun with the Tri-slosher in Tower Control this evening. I swap to the Splatterscope to see if I can continue this trend, or if my first choice of weapon was wiser.
Camp Triggerfish should be friendlier to the charger than the slosher, with its long corridors and ...

Uh-oh, does that E-litre 3K want my normal perch? Probably, as it's a good place for a charger. I get there first, though, and thankfully put in a good show for myself, splatting the first three squids that come over the top of the ridge.
The E-litre, on the other hand, ...

Two chargers on our team, two on their team. That generally means I need to shake up my tactics, mostly to prevent the two of us stumbling over each other's tentacles.
I try to be a bit more mobile in this game, a tactic that often doesn't work with a charger, ...

After the normal tussle in the middle of Arowana Mall, the other team gets a really good lead, nearly reaching their goal. A better-aimed Killer Wail may have pushed them to a knockout victory too.
We have a difficult task ahead of us to get the victory. But some good coordination ...

I do my bit to hold the centre of Arowana Mall against the push of the opposition, and only when it looks clear and the tower available do I try to advance the objective. That, naturally, gets me splatted.
Back to holding our position, and as I do I note the ...

I'm not too comfortable with the Splatterscope on Urchin Underpass, but as the other map in the rotation is Arowana Mall I am taking a positive can-do attitude to the Underpass today.
I don't want to be foolish and push forwards when I don't have to. I ought to provide a ...

Arowana Mall is a great map for a charger. Even when paired with Urchin Underpass int he rotation, I will take the awkward Underpass to play on the excellent Mall occasionally.
I get a good number of splats in, and only fall foul of being splatted once, pressing up the map ...

Not 'getting salty', but instead of playing the good game I manage in the first couple of minutes, I end up getting a bit panicky and looking more like a newbie.
Mutual splatting of the same Roller moments after respawning is amusing. Less amusing is getting backed in to walls ...

With the Splatterscope equipped, I really need to moderate my urge to ride the tower so much. That's for other inklings to do, so that I can provide necessary support. It would help my efforts if my squidmates also realised this and were more keen to ride the tower themselves.
Almost ...

I get a bit lucky at the start, where hanging around the centre doesn't see the Rainmaker get too far away from us. We even get it for ourselves and make some decent progress. Running in to the Killer Wail is a mistake, though.
A couple of the opposition decide to ...
