My early attempt to splat the E-litre 3K on the perch near the moving platform doesn't quite work, and I don't make the jump across. But falling down lets me look towards the Splat Zones, and get a splat without popping my Bubbler. But the Bubbler may have helped against ...

Running in to a Splat Bomb is not a great start to the battle. It's a nice throw, though, and rolls just at my feet from behind the fan, and my already meagre reaction time is simply not good enough to get away in time.
The teal team capture the Splat ...

Green versus purple. I think I can make this more of a partisan battle than usual, just by thinking I'm fighting on the side of Marie in a daytime Splatfest. To that end, I nip along the side and around the back, and although I don't catch anyone on a ...

I aim for the short-cut to the Splat Zones with my Seeker, and get pretty close from that angle. A bit of flicking and I'm right there, really quickly, just about wishing that maybe I had dragged my heels a bit. A squidmate also gets splatted pretty quickly, and I ...

A bit of caution as I approach the centre of the map pays off. My Disruptors may miss their mark, but not having enough ink to throw another holds me back, keeps me safe. I splat the Luna Blaster well enough, but can't quite get under the Dynamo Roller. At ...

Oh yeah, straight up the middle with that second Seeker. Nice! I get no splat from an incautious inkling coming over the ledge, but with one on the perch I move towards the corridor to try to get around her. That takes me in to the E-litre 3K, thankfully having ...

Tripping over a squidmate probably works in my favour, as the slight delay lets me get just behind the inklings coming around the corner to splat us. The tables are turned on them! One more splat gets me a starting triple, but I don't get to look for a fourth. ...

I hold my position against an encroaching yellow inkling on the far side of our Splat Zone. She's pretty insistent too. I feel like pressing the issue, but that doesn't work so well. I probably should have enjoyed the stalemate, given that it would have kept the yellow team effectively ...

Let's try a bit more with a Blaster. The Grim Range Blaster again, because the range and Burst Bombs will probably work better with Splat Zones. The range works to a point, but with blue pressure dominating the Splat Zones early on, I need to get closer. And closer still, ...

I try to keep my range to start the battle, not rushing headlong in to a contested Splat Zone. It keeps me safe, and lets us feel out the initial tussle. When it looks like the yellow team have backed off from the ridge I turn to hit the corridor, ...
