Beginner basics for Splatoon 3: tips for improving in battle
Things to keep in mind in unfavourable situations
When you or your allies have been splatted, or the opponents are pushing the frontline, here are some things you can do to turn the tide.
Stick together
When there are fewer allies on the frontline, you’re more likely to get counterattacked if you attack alone. So if you’re in an unfavourable situation, it’s important for you to stick together as a team.
If you get splatted while an ally is respawning, you’ll end up returning to the battle at different times, making it harder to push up the frontline. As such, it’s recommended to prioritise your own safety as you prepare for a chance to counterattack.
For example, if you focus on the front of the stage, where it’s easier to meet up with your respawning allies and search for and suppress your opponents while simultaneously inking the area, you can stay safe and charge up your special. If attacked, instead of trying to fight back all alone, by working with a teammate, you’re more likely to gradually turn the tables in your favour.
