Play the Objective
Splatoon 2 Tips and Tricks for Beginners
When you first get started in Splatoon 2’s online multiplayer matches, you’ll have to play through several regular battles in the Turf War modes before you can unlock the good stuff. You might be tempted to boost your KDR straight away and start shooting the enemy team, and while that isn’t a bad strategy, don’t forget to play the objective either.
In Turf Wars, whichever side covers a larger area in their ink color wins. This means that your primary focus should be on splattering the ground with ink. When you first start a match, if you see that your teammates are all rushing to the front lines, don’t be afraid to hang back and cover all the area around you. Or if you see that your teammates are more inclined towards staying in the back row to cover ground, you can take the charge and try to eliminate enemies instead. Play around your teammates and you’ll do better in your matches.
