Otherwise known as 'pushing my luck'. My plan with the Tri-slosher is the opposite to my plan with the Splatterscope. I go down the other side, across the centre, and around the back. What do you know, it works!
Because my initial plan works, I try it again. And it works ...

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 forget how useful Seekers are in Rainmaker, and they've got better in general with their wider trail. They don't stop personal stupidity, though, and my eagerness to get past the Rainmaker, shield intact, is not my smartest moment.
I hopefully make up for that initial mistake immediately afterwards, with some ...

I think I contributed to this Rainmaker battle. I was pretty aggressive, and successful at splatting the opponents, at the start. I would like to say that I distracted the yellow squids enough to give my squidmates an advantage.

I don't think I did much afterwards, unless you count finding safety ...

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. ...

No chargers on the other side to try to harass, or get splatted by. Let's see if I can flank the purple team for some surprise splats, by going down the side route.
Well, kinda, only helped by my ineptitude at squidding up Flounders Heights. Sloshing ink over my head, walking ...

I go back to the Tri-slosher for a couple of battles, because I normally do well with it on Piranha Pit and Flounders Heights. Seeing the Splatterscope on the other team has my making my opening gambit of flying over the conveyer to engage it, but she's hanging back a ...

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 ...

On the one hand, I didn't really give the Roller a proper outing this evening. On the other hand, I like running rampant with the Tri-slosher. It doesn't happen every battle, but when it does, I have buckets of fun. Arf!
My main aim is to get to the centre and ...
