I do well not to get ambushed at the start of the battle, and to stay just outside the range of the Rainmaker's Shield afterwards. Pushing up for my own little aggressive move gets one splat, and although my Bubbler keeps me safe from the ink for a bit, getting ...

That E-litre 3K makes me nervous, so naturally I speed around the edge of the resort to see if I can sneak up on him. Not really, but I find another squid to splat, and am happy that he runs away, as chasing him drops me down from the sights ...

I rush forwards, hoping to get up the wall and around the side, but the flow of yellow ink coming towards me as I approach the middle encourages me to hold back. Well, a little. I can use the wall to hide from the Squiffer, and although hiding becomes problematic ...

A super-aggressive start from me, but one that is also somewhat measured. Finding an unexpected path often leads to splats, and being able to sidestep a Splash Wall certainly helps. I'm a little disappointed that I miss the fourth inkling, but it's all good. The yellow team is temporarily out ...

I do like trying to speed to the middle and around the side in Urchin Underpass. Fairly often, like this battle, a Blaster just about catches me in the act, and their indirect fire puts a stop to my efforts. I take a more conventional route to return, inking more ...

One inkling is left for dust on the base as the rest of us leave. I'm sure she'll catch up. I'm buoyed by my early splat on the E-litre 3K to think more of it. I do some diversionary inking, but feel no pressing need to head around the back ...

What's this, I'm not going immediately for the E-litre 3K Scope? Not this time. A bit of caution instead, just working out who is going where. The E-litre 3K looks to be on the normal perch, ripe for a jump-slosh, but if she's good I could be splatted mid-air. Besides, ...

I'm aiming to jump the conveyer belt and slosh the Kelp Splatterscope on the normal perch, but my squid-sense tingles as a Seeker zooms past me. I turn and get a nice early splat, before enacting my plan. Maybe it's good that I wasn't first to make the jump, as ...

Losing an inkling often unbalances the battle significantly. A green inkling disappears before ten seconds are up, and that clearly gives us a smoother ride to the goal.
I pull out some decent manoeuvres all the same, but I doubt they would all have worked had there been the fourth inkling, ...

I can get quite aggressive with the bucket. It helps that it lets me move really quickly, and that I don't have to aim too much, something that encourages me to hit the flanks early and often. I'm not even sure if a squid is on the create, but my ...
