I've gained some respect for the Dynamo Roller players, that poo poo is not as easy to use as it looks.

It doesn't take that much money to buy the weapons and gear you care about. The big money sink is rerolling slots but that's such a crapshoot and has so little impact you might as well not bother

The robot suit usually looks okay when all three parts are together but when it's just the shoes or just the head part it looks...weird.

I assume they'll rotate every change over. Regardless, it's a good thing Tower Control is really fun.

Tell me what's a good type of weapon to use in Tower Control once ya'll figure it out. I used a few different weapons and I wasn't feeling it. :/ The mode is fun, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to be able to contribute more.

Ink mines are good on Tower Control, but o are inkstrikes. Drop one right in front of where the tower is going and anyone contesting you just dies.

As I always say, blasters are probably really good. I guess in this mode you'd actually want to use the regular blaster over the custom because point sensors won't be doing as much and the killer whail is actually not poo poo when there's a tiny area the enemy HAS to be standing in. Unfortunately I've given up my blasting ways in hopes of mastering the ink brush, which I'm still pretty mediocre with. I was wrong about it being poo poo in splat zones but I have no idea how I can make it work in tower control. Only thing that seems good about it for that mode is an ink strike but tons of weapons have that.

I'm usually a .52 deco/dual squelcher player - but the super-hectic form of this didn't seem to reward those weapons (at least on the maps in the current rotation) compared to the more strategic play of splatzones - I couldn't kill fast enough with the squelcher. Splat Pro was alright, but I think I found my groove again with the N-Zap, although I'll probably try the .52 regular version, not deco tomorrow

Ink Brush seems like it would be useful for going into enemy territory and inking up their paths back to the tower.

Had a great game just now where we stopped them at 1 in the first 10 seconds in the match, and won in overtime. I have been using the splashomatic, the suction bomb rush obliterates people in your way or on the tower. It charges up quite quickly as well.

Tower Control is amazing. It's cool that ranked will probably trade off between it and Splat Zones so we don't get player fragmentation.

Having made a foolhardy choice to try Tower Control with the Inkbrush, I think the way to make it work is to do all your fighting off the tower unless there's no one else around to ride it. You shouldn't really be up there except as a stopgap, but there's plenty of good fighting to be had on the ground. What abilities are people favouring? I think some of the traditionally useful ones don't quite apply, while Quick Respawn suddenly seems very very important. Supercar Gautier fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jul 2, 2015 |

It's cool the game will dick you over instead of letting you tie. Enemy has 30 on us, we pushed back and got to 30, but when my teammate stepped off it it rolled back to 31. Paid attention next time and it straight up pretended that the number the enemy has isn't there.
