Probably helps there are places to hide behind where they can't get you unless they take a radically different angle. Even then, jumping and Burst Bombing them should keep them busy until they get splatted or leave. It's especially great to take them out while they're busy focusing on the other side if you both happen to be on the same bridge.
Well one of the things I've been doing is if you ink the top of them you can squid jump to get across the glass faster than just walking. Momentum :)
Anybody who's attentive while perched up on the wall won't even let you get near them, and that's the problem. The only flanking route is either directly in front of their base, or on a grating where you're as good as dead if anybody with a weapon sees you. Worse yet, it's right within the line of sight of where the charger would be if they were on the wall.
Yeah, this squares with my experience with a Splatterscope. I had it so easy that my mind wandered and my team still won an easy knockout. E-Liters are so, so annoying here, too.
There is another path, though it's far from easily accessible; going around to the enemy team's floodgates and coming around from the back. It hasn't always worked (sometimes I get splatted by someone who's respawned and is going back to the center), but when it does I can take out Chargers with ease and establish control of that side's Splat Zone basically by myself (though help is much appreciated, and probably necessary for keeping it). Those might not have been good Chargers though.
True on the Splat Charger, but they're kinda helpless if you get close with a close-range weapon on this map (at least in my experience, closing the gap with an Octobrush leads to Chargers dropping like flies).
This times a million. If you don't hurry up to the closest entry point to the opposing team's side, they will make it before you, and it can be incredibly hard to recover once a couple enemies are near your spawn. That point alone is what redeems some of the rollers on this map; specifically the Octobrush and the Carbon Roller can quickly forge a path to the drop point before your opponents can shut down the bridge with chargers. Of course, dropping onto the enemy side is always gonna be pretty YOLO, but you seriously have to take that chance in order to cut off their infiltrators. I had pretty good success with the Carbon; after inking up the space near their floodgates, I would drop and quickly cut off their central bridge. As long as I had backup, I could usually sneak away and take a ton of turf by our own floodgates really quickly, then return to defend the central bridge. If your team can succeed with this strategy, it's relatively unlikely that the enemy will be able to mount a counteroffensive in the last minute when their gates drop. This is especially true if you can ink the turf on the side of their pond, because for some reason no one ever wants to spend the time to take that turf back, and even if they do it'll waste a whole lot of someone's time.
I experimented a bit yesterday. You can actually throw bombs (splat or suction) on top of the enemy wall from your side with a bit practice (fairly reliably even once you get the timing down) from your "entrance" of the middle (which has an upwards ramp, so you're functionally protected until you arrive) and force them down or just take them out entirely. Then use the moment of confusion to approach their side and take over or w/e
Getting to the opponent's base is justifiably difficult considering how difficult it is for them to come back from it once it happens.
