The Splatterscope turns out to be a good choice to start a session of Splat Zones. Getting a decent perch in Saltspray Rig certainly helps, and keeping on the move to avoid being splatted is generally a good tactic.
I can't say I stay out of trouble, though. A couple of ...

I can't believe that the other team is consistently much better than my own, so I have to conclude that I really don't have my mojo about me this evening in Splat Zones. I swap weapons for something more familiar, in a bid to get my mojo back, but even ...

I've seen chargers being used on Kelp Dome before, but normally in the tentacles of competent squids. They manage to find good perches that allow them decent lines-of-sight, and can recharge their ink when they want. When I've tried a charger on Kelp Dome, I find I either have a ...

More Splatterscope use on Moray Towers during Tower Control. It's a decent start, splatting an opposing charger when she's not looking, but then I get tunnel vision and miss seeing the kid inking her way up to my little perch. A few more good moves, avoiding a Killer Wail, a ...

After the chaos of five chargers on Tower Control in Arowana Mall, the battle in Moray Towers is rather more subdued. The only charger in the battle is the Splatterscope I have equipped, which puts rather a lot of pressure on my tentacles. I relax a little after I get ...

Arowana Mall and Moray Towers are in the Ranked map rotation, which can only mean one thing: squids are equipping their chargers! This includes me, now that I quite enjoy using the Splatterscope, particularly on these maps, which are much suited to charger use. The only problem is that the ...

It's the following morning of the Splatfest. After an evening of wreaking havoc with the Splash-o-matic I decide to switch back to my Splatterscore. I know I can be useful on Arowana Mall, I've found good tactics for Kelp Dome, and there is a lot of open space on Museum ...

Arowana Mall is a good level for chargers, with its split level and long, thin design, so I have my Splatterscope equipped. Tower Control can go either way for chargers. Although you need to ride the tower to win, which presents an obvious target for long-distance splats, chargers just don't ...

Tower Control, Moray Towers. I have my Splatterscope on me, as the long, open ramps and open and low central area of Moray Towers lends itself perfectly to chargers. Naturally, other squids have the same idea. There's another charger in my team, and one ink gun. Yeah, only three of ...
