N-Zaps for ranked battles, rollers for turf war battles. however, I prefer weapons with the Killer Wail since it's more effective for me. B)

Here are my preferred setups:

Ranked Battle - Tower Control: Heavy Splatling, .96 Gal, E-Liter, Dynamo Roller
Ranked Battle - Splat Zones: Heavy Splatling, N-Zap 89, Aerospray RG, Dynamo Roller

Turf Wars: Heavy Splatling, Aerospray RG, Splatshot Jr. (that darn starter weapon), Octobrush

EDIT!! BIG NEWS!



NEWS FLASH! Tomorrow evening at 7 PM PT, a new mode will join Splat Zones and Tower Control in the Ranked Battle playlist!

Introducing…. Rainmaker! In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!

How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!
But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object - it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.




Also that hashtag.

Has this mode been added to the game now? Or do we have to update in order to get it.

Rainmaker looks super easy. :D I'm so hyped about this!

It's only happened to be a few times. Most of the time, my connection was stable, thought there are occasional lags.

It has happened to me several times too. It's not just you, and it's not your internet either. It's Nintendo's end. Because there's so many people playing online at the same time, it's hard for nintendo's servers to keep up. goes to show the game is pretty popular.

I've been level 18 for ages now. I've been meaning to get to level 20 by the end of the summer sooo lol.

Soooo with the topic, the only weapons I ever use are my 'N-zaps and Tentatek Splattershot. :3 I like things with a lot of range and a good fire rate like my 'N-zaps, but sometimes I also like getting close up in combat so damage is good on my Tentatek Splattershot. ^-^ I haven't unlocked Ranked Battles yet, so this is just for Turf Wars... >.>

Turf Wars are fine, just get a little dull after a bit. Rank Battles are somewhat fun and somewhat hell at times. The whole, you have to either gain more points than the other team or completely knock them out is a pain at times because your teammates will never move onto the tower OR from the first splatzone. Always playing defense and well, it either stalemates OR the enemy team gets one point more than your team and you lose (and get little exp and money). Its a risky mode.

Turf Wars tend to get boring after a while of grinding. They could really use some different "non competitive modes" to play around with.

However, it does go down to hell when it's Splatfest. ;D

OMFG GUYS RAINMAKER IS FREAKING AWESOME.

Had somewhat of a winning streak a little while ago. Went from a C- to a C+ then back down to a C- again (lol back to the drawing board). But maaaan that was so much fun. Been playing non-stop and now it's 3 am lmaoooo.

I'm gonna play some more later on today. I feel like I'm on fire, and my NZAP is amazing at Rainmaker. Just that I need to practice a little more so I don't get caught on another "up-down" streak.

Also, these winnings really help a lot if you want to level up quickly. Almost to level 19 now. I really want to open my amiibos now.

You know, taking the rainmaker yourself to enemy base makes up for not being in first place on your team. In one of my matches in Rainmaker Mode, I was able to take rainmaker to enemy base without dying once. It must be a rare moment, knowing how intense Rainmaker mode can get, as well as other modes in Ranked Battles.

I've began to emerge into Splat Zones and it looks like my Squelcher does its job pretty well, which made me reach the B rank (down to a C+ rank again recently after a few awful matches in Rainmaker). I'll try again later on tonight before it switches modes again.

Also, I unlocked the Aerosprays recently and omg I LOVE THAT WEAPON. I now know why people are using that weapon so much, and how it's so overused. Because of the rapid fire and the shorter range, I may stick with the Squelcher in ranked, and use the Aerospray occasionally in Turf.

Which leads to the question I have for those who main the Aerospray: RG or MG? Why?

Yeah, I'm used to the RG because Inkstrike gives you more ink points during battle. My boyfriend is more of an MG user, he prefers Seekers. xD

Heeeey, I've had the game since it came out and I'm still totally addicted ;w;
My favorite weapon is the Splattershot Jr. but I'm currently trying to get better with the Charger. If you'd have me I'd really like to join ^^
My NNID and Skype are both Blastystoise :3
Sweet. Welcome aboard. I'm trying to dip into the chargers, especially the E-Liters, but they are extremely heavy for me to carry, however...they do pack a punch not for one enemy but for three. :P What Charger are you trying to specialize?

I'll add you when I get home (currently away), and be sure to join our Splatoon skype chat in the meantime! :)

Anyone play through Hammerhead Bridge when it came out? How did it go, turf war-wise and ranked-wise?

Also. Splatfest for us Americans coming tonight! Art vs. Science! Guess who will be playing after work tonight :) I think Europeans have Messy vs. Tidy this weekend.



I know... I didn't know either.

It was earlier today. The map is very short, narrow and you can easily dominate the other side if you & your team are quick enough. Only won one turf war match out of the bunch I've played in.
