Hey all! First time here, but I found myself craving a more 'team' like experience from Splatoon. So I thought this would be a fun thing to try ^^
Name: Helios42
Country: USA
NNID: Helios4242
Current Rank: A+
Age: 23
Age Range of Group: No preference
Current Weapon: Luna Blaster (I am OK but rusty with .52 Gal Deco and the Octobrush)
Main Roles:
I haven't ever done Splatoon in a competitive community, so I apologize if my jargon isn't right :p
I usually play mid-field focusing on bottleneck areas and defense. I run Recon which lets me optimize my time on areas that need support. That means I end up focusing on getting our team to control the pace of the battle and, ideally, relaying where enemies are to the rest of our team. I'm able to stop a lot of breaches before they get too bad and wipe out foes who are trying to cluster together. Given the range on the Luna Blaster, I'm not usually too helpful in claiming new territory (about half the time I get lucky :p ), but once we have territory claimed I flesh it out quickly and keep it on lockdown. I also am trying to get better at ambushing people and swinging around behind them to cut off their retreat as they try to advance into our territory. That's mostly my playstyle for regular Turf War (I'd love to do competitive turf war!), and I adjust it appropriately for a given ranked mode. Tower Control is probably my best mode but I enjoy them all.
In more brief detail - I'm more of a tank-type player who keeps a firm defensive line and occasionally punches giant holes in their offensive line. Coverage and Splats - I got 'em both!
