3. In the Splat Zones ranked mode, it's best to coordinate two Inklings on the offense and two Inklings on the defense to stay well-rounded. The Dynamo Roller is extremely effective in this mode, so keep an eye out for it.

5. When using scoped weapons, stay high where nothing can hit you except for other snipers. It can be challenging to find these spots, but they are very effective. You can usually find a single good sniping position on each side of every map.
