The battle switches to Rainmaker! Okay, bucket, we can do this. I like Bluefin Depot and have a good relationship with Mahi-Mahi Resort, both maps that I can skirmish on and around. I even start this battle with a good Disruptor throw, even if I don't get the splat from ...

I think some people don't rate the Tri-slosher on Moray Towers, but I think it can work well. You definitely need to avoid the watchful eye of chargers, but its ability to slosh down from above, and ink walls effectively makes it viable.
I keep our Splat Zones blue to start ...

Me and a Tri-slosher normally equals my trying to get around the back of the map and causing some disruption from behind. This doesn't change when playing Splat Zones on Museum d'Alfonsino.
I attract some early attention from the charger, which is good in a way. If he's looking at me, ...

I'm starting to feel the pressure and frustrations of S-Rank battling again, where I'm getting splatted and splatted with little to show for it. I try to compensate by playing smarter, but it seems I'm not that smart after all.
I try to use my Disruptor well, and not charge headlong ...

Oop, I nearly get too close to the Rainmaker's shield at the start, but I hang back and nick it off the teal team to get an early, but slight lead. They come back immediately, beating my measly metres, and I both show some restraint to get a splat, and ...

I don't think it benefits me and my bucket to get anywhere fast on Hammerhead Bridge in Rainmaker. I slow down a bit, inking turf, building my Special's charge, and still get caught out by an inkling. I've never been a fan of jumping either.
At least I survive the next ...

I like Walleye Warehouse, and I like running around the back on Walleye Warehouse. But will it work on more experienced inklings? It doesn't look like it. I almost but not quite get a splat, and whilst I do nothing the other team takes an early lead.
My Bubbler is ready ...

Back in S Rank, woe is me. But I'll try to stay optimistic. For this venture, I'll stick with my Tri-slosher, and see if I can hold my own on occasion with the bucket.
The battle doesn't start well, as I am easily spotted by two inklings as I try to ...

The bucket is working well for me tonight. Maybe I'm bucketing smarter, not harder. I think that's the case in this battle.
I refuse to be sucked in to pointless squabbles or petty revenge, and look after myself first and the Splat Zones second.
I make good use of my Bubbler, which ...

To hell with the Splat Zones! Kinda! I want to get around the back of the other team, surprise splat them, and let us have some time alone with the Splat Zones. My strategy doesn't really go according to plan.
The alternative route works a bit better, and we get control ...
