Moray Towers

Moray Towers is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon that was released as free DLC on July 11, 2015 at.

Layout
Moray Towers consists of two large towers connected by a series of diagonal ramps. It includes two Spawn Points on opposite towers, meeting together in the center through a network of ramps. Although the large amount of ramps provides an easy way to ink turf, players may also jump from ramp to ramp for a quick route to the center.

Notable Locations

 * Center Area – The Center Area is located between both teams' Spawn Points. It can be reached by traveling along a series of ramps, or more quickly by jumping over the ramps' edges. Due to the bottleneck nature of the ramps leading from the middle, it is extremely difficult for teams to advance past the center area. Unless teams are able to invade the other team's base and hold them back, matches are often decided by which team can paint more of the middle in the last 5 seconds of the match.

Hazards
Moray Towers's high and low areas are separated by large chasms. Falling into a chasm will kill Inklings.

Splat Zones
There are two Splatzones on Moray Towers, both being on the ending part of the ramps closest to the center.

Tower Control
The Tower can be found directly in the center of the map, on the small, raised platform. It makes its way over the center area, above a chasm, and finally, into its goal on the section above the second-lowest ramp.

Tips

 * Due to the descending nature from the spawn point to the center of the level, Chargers and Rollers are great options. Particularly, there are excellent sniping positions all round the center area, and both forms of weapons can quickly cover the long ramps.
 * Splash Walls do a good job of blocking off entire pathways when placed right.
 * Killer Wails will cover an entire pathway, making dodging the blast difficult.
 * The ramps ascending from the center of the stage are closely guarded to prevent Inklings from approaching enemy territory. However, both ramps are next to well-hidden, small passages that provide direct access to the top of those particular inclines.
