Blog:Top 10 Splatoon Tips

These are my top 10 Splatoon tips. If you have any tips, you can add them in the discussion/talk.

1: Ink turf

Always ink turf. This just does not apply for Regular Battles, it also works well for Ranked Battles, in particular Rainmaker. If you have the Rainmaker and there is lots of your team's ink everywhere, it is a lot easier to get to the finish. You don't have to waste time shooting ink, just swim to the finish!

2: Throw Sub Weapons

Remember that you have your Sub Weapon to help you in matches. Use it to trap your opponents, block them, and/or splat them. Try and turn into a squid before up use it because after you use it you use it you will have less ink.

3: Hide in your ink

If you want to splat people, you got to be sneaky. Swim as a squid up to them, so they won't see you, then splat them.

4: Get behind enemies

Here is an easy way to splat enemies, in particular chargers: Find a way to sneak into the opponent's side of the stage, then Solat them behind their backs! It is easy to splat enemies with chargers using this way because they usually just stay in one spot and shoot towards your teams side.

5: Don't forget Specials!

Sometimes you're too busy splatting people doing other things that you forget to use your Special Weapon (especially in Ranked Battles). Always remember check the Special weapon gauge to see if you can use it!

6: Press X while climbing up walls

A lot of people don't press X when climbing up walls. Pressing X repeatedly when climbing up walls will make it faster. This is shown in the Tutorial. Also a reminder, painting walls and other vertical sides of stuff will not count as turf inked for Turf War.

7: Avoid Super Jumping

Try and avoid Super Jumping as much as possible because you can get easily Solatted by enemies. Only try and Super Jump if you are Super Jumping to someone near your spawn point or if you have the ability Stealth Jump.

8: Get good gear!

If is important that you use gear with good Abilities. They will help you win the match! Remember that you can get more slots or re-roll abilities by using Super Sea Snails early in Splatfests.

9: Jump up and down!

This may sound super silly but jumping up and down while shooting makes the ink go further her and makes you harder to splat.

10: Use Inkipedia!

Inkipedia has lots of good tips to help you win matches! Don't forget to check out other people's tips in the talk!

I hope that these tips have been useful to you and remember... Stay fresh!
