Re: Guide: Tips On How To Become A Squid Hotshot In Splatoon

Some advice that has been helping me alot:

1. At the start of the match, aim high and shot so you can swim and refill ink until you need to resurface and shoot more to continue creating a path to move. I do this to get to the central "choke" points asap and claim the high points. These sections are the key to winning!

2. If you're being flanked, drop into a small inconspicuous pool of ink and stay still! Staying still as a squid renders you invisible to the enemy! Also take advantage of walls for hiding.

3. Use your sub weapons! Grenades are especially helpful to use before going over blind areas, like in the Mall map.

4. Take advantage of every way to access choke areas beyond the normal route. In the Mall map, you can go on the sides and shoot from above. Really helps to get your team back in if its been taken over.

5. Don't waste too much time covering your base at the start of the match. It's more important to claim choke points. If you respawn with those areas claimed, then it;s wise to go ahead and cover your base.

6. Don't invest too much time in front of the enemy base. While it might distract them, they are bound to reclaim their home turf.

7. Split up! If someone is following you, get away from them ASAP.
