She talks about side paths and flanking a lot so I'd guess its the octobrush, for other obvious reasons. I'm not sure she ever says what she uses outright though.

After playing with stick controls through all of the first Splatoon, I finally made the jump to motion controls, and it feels fantastic so far. Playing single player to experiment sensitivity is a must I feel. Err...is it odd that I had to max out the sensitivity for both mc and the stick to have everything feel right? Anything lower and it seemed like everything lagged.

  I love this mode too much. Then I got knocked back down to A+ because S-rank does not give any leeway between losses. Most losses at this point will cause a crack. The battles at S-rank are really brutal. Everyone actually knows what they're doing and boy did I feel like the weakest link in my teams.Some tips for Rainmaker: The Rainmaker itself sucks compared to any of the weapons in the game. Once that barrier pops, don't be so eager to grab it. You're giving up whatever you're trying to do in favor of playing escortee once you do. Consider if you or your teammates would be better off grabbing it in the current situation. Someone with a Rolller, Brush, or Baller Special ready to go can help paint a path and escort you to the goal very easily, and you wouldn't want them to grab it. You can't use your special (or sub or super jump) once you grab the Rainmaker. So if you have your special ready to go, you should pop it before grabbing it, in most cases. Don't do this if your special is a Bomb Rush, Baller, or Inkjet. (And you might want to consider letting someone else grab the Rainmaker if that's the case.) If you get stuck with the Rainmaker, here's how to use it. Once charged, the Rainmaker will fire out a projectile at your chosen location. The projectile drip ink below its path and once it lands, it will explode after a delay. So it's not really a good weapon to use in direct combat. Incidentally, the projectile can damage enemies while it's still being fired, though I don't believe it's an instant splat in that case. At any rate, the Rainmaker is only really good as a zoning tool and for creating paths. You'll want to avoid firing it unless you have to, as that reveals your position on the map. If you're cornered by an enemy, the best you can honestly hope for is to just take them with you. Unless they have Ink Armor active, then you're just outright screwed. If your team is in the lead and time is about to run out, the Rainmaker holder can just hide somewhere on the map to secure the win. Just don't go too far back to your base, as that accelerates the countdown. If the Rainmaker holder dies on an ink rail, the Rainmaker will respawn back at the ink rail entrance. Also on that note, dying from going out of bounds while holding the Rainmaker will cause it to respawn back at mid. Handy to keep in mind if you're trying to keep the Rainmaker out of the enemy team's hands, or are just forcing them to back off. The Rainmaker's barrier is a very handy tool. Popping it will cover the area in your ink, building up the special of whoever popped it, and it can splat whoever was unlucky enough to be caught in the blast. And if an enemy is focused on bringing it down, they might not notice anyone sneaking up behind them and splatting them while they're distracted. There's a reason why teams rush to mid to pop it at the beginning of the match, yet hesitate to grab the Rainmaker once the barrier goes down. Causing a team wipe with it can also end up giving your team so much momentum that they win the game right then and there. Be aware of your surroundings and check the map every so often. You'll want to look for existing paths the rainmaker holder can take and keep an eye on the paths the enemy team is making. This is also really handy to keep in mind while the barrier is being taken down at the beginning of the match, as some players like to be sneaky and go behind the enemy team to splat them while they're occupied with bringing down the barrier. If an enemy got behind your team and you get taken out, say "Ouch..." to let them know someone is about to ambush them. I've saved a few lives this way. Bit of a minor thing, but if your goal pedestal is covered in the enemy ink, take the time to cover it in your ink unless there's something more important you have to do. The Rainmaker holder has to squid up to the goal in order to win the game instantly. If the goal pedestal isn't covered in their ink, that means the enemy team has to take the time to paint it before they can win. Those few seconds they spend painting (and the Rainmaker holder is really slow to do this if they're by themselves) can mean the difference between keeping the match going or losing right then and there. If there's nothing else productive you think you can do, you can always paint the ground. Paint a new path for your team, or cover up the enemy's ink with your own. If the enemy team doesn't have much time to spend, they'll have to take an alternate route. Or they'll be forced to spend their ink and time repainting a path for their purposes. Not to mention that painting the ground also builds up your special. Stupid plays still happen at the higher ranks. People make mistakes after all. On that note, if you lose a match, think about what you could have done better. Whether it's aiming better, learning how to prioritize minor objectives in the game properly, or bringing a weapon set better suited to your strengths and what you can do on the map with them. Even if you're sure you did everything right. (You didn't, trust me. Otherwise you would have won that match.) If you're dunking that Rainmaker onto the goal pedestal, but don't say "Booyah!" right before you land, you are a disgrace.

TLDR: Paint a road for the ball carrier because trying to use the rainmaker to paint is super lovely. It should only be used as a last ditch weapon, otherwise the flag carrier is the flag carrier and the rest of the team needs to be on the ball watching in front of and behind of the ball carrier, moving with him.

Godspeed to all the pub Salmon Runners out there who helped me get all the prizes to be won (other than the repeating shirts, obviously) in only a few short hours. It might have been just luck, but it feels like this weapon setup really clicked in spite of the Clash Blaster. Only had a few losses to speak of, and we managed to coast away with 59 golden eggs twice and 61 a time after that.

Don't get the hate for the clash blaster in this mode. Only thing it really feels lovely at is inking terrain, so it sucks when you need to run. Otherwise its functional. Its DPS is actually good when you land nothing but direct hits which isn't hard in Salmon Run.

I said I hate the weapon selection and yet...  Clash Blaster isn't as bad with some practice, but it still requires your team to help out a bit more for turf coverage and the range isn't great. Trying to run around with it is tricky, so if your team is overwhelmed it can get tough trying to run around and revive them. Tri-slosher is amazing though - beginner friendly, can reach Steelheads easily, doesn't use much ink, decent for turfing.
