I try not to be too impetuous at the beginning of this Rainmaker battle, wanting instead to provide the support a charger should. Of course, this support includes inking paths for the Rainmaker, so my plan to hang back is amended when we take an early lead.
Well, 'lead', really. We ...

I want to hang back in this Splat Zones battle in Walleye Warehouse, take care of the turf, apply pressure to encroaching threats. But I can't resist going mobile and trying to apply more direct pressure.
Sure, it doesn't work, not at first, but approaching the Zones from a different perspective ...

I feel guilty squidding slowly behind the Roller, and just as guilty splatting ink over his head. But we both take the same route, so without going a sub-optimal way for me there's not much to be done. We'll work something out.
My opposite charger seems to be coming my way. ...

An E-litre 3K on our team, along with my Splatterscope. With her longer range, I'll let her take the normal perch overlooking the Tower, if she wants it. Then again, with three chargers on the other team, maybe this will be one of those chaotic battles where you can't rely ...

It's an untidy start to this Tower Control battle for me. I try to throw a Splat Bomb but fail, the one I throw bounces off the Tower, and then I fall off the Tower. Pressing forwards has my running headfirst in to a Heavy Splatling, and when I dodge ...

Hammerhead Bridge looks like it should be a good map for chargers, with its long and thin design. But there are so many elevation changes with blocks and grates either giving inklings flanking routes or blocking sight lines that I'm not quite sure a charger is the best weapon. That ...

The open spaces of Museum d'Alfonsino, and an E-litre 3K Scope on the other team. I doubt I'll fare well in this Tower Control battle, although I pull off a decent splat to start with. Immediately I am reminded how other chargers are better than me, though.
Still, I do like ...

It's been ages since I've played Hammerhead Bridge, and so my knowledge of this intricate map is a bit rusty. Like the Bridge itself. I revert to my normal plan of action, and grab the Rainmaker whether it's safe or not, and try to make some progress.
I make a bit ...

I take my usual perch in Arowana Mall when I have the Splatterscope equipped, and aim for the squids in the Splat Zones. I know it doesn't look like it, but I really am trying to aim for them.
There is a messy tussle for the Splat Zones, but they turn ...

It's good to see the ink coming over the brow of the ramp in Arowana Mall. It makes the first splat more rewarding. I've been on the other end of those a few times, and it can make a squid a bit salty. It's good to know how it happens.
That ...
