Our team looks fairly balanced, the other has three Rollers. I would think that puts us at an advantage, but with the Dynamo Roller sitting on a perch flicking ink across both Splat Zones, maybe they aren't quite so disadvantaged. Even so, heading around the side to ink the Splat ...

Teamwork gets us down our flank fairly smoothly and, with no purple ink to the side, I start sending ink towards the Splat Zones. One inkling gets nicely in my line-of-fire, but another appears from my flank, probably having gone the long way around. It's a good move, which flusters ...

Ah, Saltspray Rig Splat Zones. Is there a more brutal map for Splat Zones? Probably not! I quite like it because of this, even if the winner is generally decided by whoever captures the Splat Zones first. I decide to try to sneak around the teal team to start with, ...

It's a rough start to the battle. I don't do myself any favours by dashing in to the line of fire in the middle of the Splat Zones, helping them turn orange, and at least I get a couple of splats to ease some of the pressure before I begin ...

My attempt to flank the purple team works well, in that I get behind them, but that Splattershot Jr is on the ball. Heading down the other corridor as a second option could have gone badly, nearly dropping on to a Kraken, but I make it to the end as ...

I stick to the edges and use the reasonable range of the Mini Splatling to lay down some ink. An early Echolocator shows me where the teal team are, but I still can't throw Disruptors reliably. Never mind, at least the Tri-slosher doesn't have a Bubbler ready when she comes ...

I've not played with the Mini Splatling for a while, and not really played it much at all, but on a whim I'm bringing it out for some Splat Zones. A bit of Run Speed seems like a good idea, as does hanging back and inking, as I prove when ...

Not focussing fully on the Rainmaker's Shield generally helps, as splatting an opposing inkling will reduce the incoming ink from the other team. I get a nice splat in this vein to start the battle, and move up to find a second splat as I hear my ink hit something. ...

That Disruptor throw wasn't too bad a move. Running backwards in to the Splat Bomb was pretty bad, though. Trying to splat the Inkzooka would be a good move, but not when she's on our team, and doing so lets the other team burst the Rainmaker Shield, splatting us both. ...

Man, I still can't throw Disruptors reliably, my first attempt in this battle hitting the floor at my feet. That most contribute a little to my getting splatted, but I could have backed off too. So it goes. My second throw does much better, catching two inklings, and it's only ...
