This is part 2 of a series intended to help players understand some standard tactics in Splatoon 3, so they can understand the flow of the game better and make faster, more informed decisions. Parts 2-5 will each focus on a different ranked mode, using the weapon roles defined in part 1 to communicate what different types of weapons should be doing to effectively score points in objective modes.

Much of this video paraphrases work by flc including "Fluid Priorities and Roles in Splatoon 2" and his Twitch highlights on the "Fundamentals" of the different game modes, though my ideas presented in these videos do deviate slightly from his framework.

Inkling in thumbnail comes from "[Splatoon Animation] Newbie" by John Sandwich on YouTube. Go watch it, it's adorable!    • [Splatoon Animation] Newbie
