Ranked Battle
Ranked Battle is a category of modes in Splatoon. It is accessible by Level 10 players. The modes included in this category require a higher level of strategy compared to regular modes, and wins and losses will are counted toward players' ranks. Players begin with a 'C-' rating, but are able to improve and regress based on how well they perform. Ranked Battle was released when a large amount of players reached level 10, on June 1st, 2015.
List of Modes
- Splat Zones - Plays similarly to the King of the Hill mode from other video games. It revolves around central "zones", which players must attempt to cover in ink. Whoever retains the zone for a certain amount of time wins.
- Tower Control - An Inkling must take control of one tower and ride it towards the enemy base. The first team to get the tower to their enemy's base wins.
- Rainmaker - No information as of yet.
Rank Table
Winning in Ranked Battle grants points based on the players's current rank. Achieving 100 points in any rank will allow for a rank up. However, dropping below 0 points on a rank will drop the rank by one. Upon gaining a rank, the player is started at 30 points and, conversely, when losing a rank, the player is started at 70 points. Below is the information table for all ranks:
| Rank | Points per win | Penalty per loss | Penalty per loss below 20 | Knockout Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C- | 20 | -10 | -10 | 1000 |
