With no charger on the opposite team, I start the battle by sensibly inking turf. An opportunistic Disruptor throw hits an inkling, by its sound, which encourages me to push forwards for the splat, which I don't get, but I surprise the Carbon Roller, and pop my Bubbler to disappoint ...

Two chargers per team. This should be interesting. My first engagement starts with a nervy shot from me and him, but I get my second shot off just before his, and get a decent splat that boosts my confidence. I check the other direction, and help push the other charger ...

Phew, three chargers on our team, plus a Roller. Not a great composition. But look at the other team too, three E-litre 3Ks and a Hydra Splatling! This will be unpredictable. I can at least say with confidence that normal Tower Control tactics won't be applicable, so I'm just going ...

An E-litre 3K on the other team is a good target for me, but also a risk. A fun risk, unlike the Rapid Blaster, which generally are bad for me and my bucket. My first route is going for the E-litre 3K, which should let me ignore the Rapid Blaster ...

Naturally, I'm aiming for that Kelp Splatterscope to start my battle. The N-ZAP coming my way could be trouble, but a missed Point Sensor by her lets me squid close enough to get an advantage. From there, even an active Point Sensor doesn't alert the Splatterscope on her standard perch. ...

That's a good-looking purple team. The Kelp Splatterscope will be my target, and I should avoid the N-ZAP. I should probably be wary of the Tri-slosher too, as those guys are nutters. But I aim for the Splatterscope first, helped along nicely by my Gal squidmate, but I think the ...

I don't rush for the Tower, to be a little more sensible than usual, but still rush to the heart of the dome. A Burst Bomb and indirect hit don't do much together, maybe hitting different inklings, but somehow I remain unmolested for long enough to get two indirect hits ...

Whee, I remember Burst Bombs at the start of the battle, when I'm under no pressure. Rushing to the Tower still probably isn't a great idea, though, putting myself at the centre of attention. I have to hop off pretty quickly, to avoid a Splat Bomb, and get a couple ...

Disruptors are being thrown everywhere at the start of this battle. I dunno who's doing it, but thankfully none of them are hitting me. I'm also not hitting anything myself, so as soon as a gap appears I try to do something positive and clamber on to the Tower. I ...

I only hit the back of one head to start the battle, which isn't bad. I don't aim for a perch, dunno why, and just hit the floor, keeping back to hold turf as a good charger should. My first splat is to avenge a squidmate's splat, which probably saved ...
