Moray Towers
Moray Towers is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon that was released as free DLC on July 11, 2015 at Template:UTC. [1]
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.
Hazards
- Chasms – Moray Towers's high and low areas are separated by large chasms. Falling into a chasm will kill Inklings.
Ranked Battle
Splat Zones
There are two Splatzones on Moray Towers, both being on the ending part of the ramps.

Tips
- Due to the descending nature from the spawn point to the center of the level, Chargers are great options. Particularly, there are excellent sniping positions all round the center area.
- 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.
