The BEST Rainmaker ROUTES And SHORTCUTS For EVERY Map (Updated 2021) - Splatoon 2 

Update: Theres a trick to Knock out the rainmaker fast by skipping some of the animation by swimming slightly to the side Comparison and explanation (though it is in japanese) twitter.com/yamawasabiFF/status/1417430465456214020

"If you pull it off it's incredibly funny" Gotta get those splatoon funnies

0:19 - Reef 0:30 - Musselforge 0:45 Starfish 1:00 Humpback 1:11 - Inkblot 1:30 - Sturgeon 1:59 - Moray 2:40 Manta 3:01 - Kelp 3:15 -Snapper 4:05 - Mako 4:21 - Walleye 4:44 - Shellendorf 5:10 - Goby 5:25 - Piranha 5:38 - Camp Triggerfish 6:12 - Albacore 6:54 - Skipper Just some timestamps of maps with hacks or tips( skipped ones with just rm path)

“if you ever go straight forward on this map istg I am blocking you” 😂

One more tip: When walking on uninkable surfaces, or when in a pinch and you won't have enough time to paint to swim forward, if you shoot the rainmaker in the opposite direction you're going, basically backwards, the rainmaker knockback will actually be faster than running. Maybe not if you have like 2 pures of run speed but that's besides the point

"Port rainmaker is terrible, don't play this map" Nintendo: how bout I Pick it anyway

ok but watching the rainmaker get dunked over and over is pretty satisfying

3:07 KELP DOOOOOMMMMMEEEE!!! LEEEETTTSSSS GGOOOOOOOOO

dang this is actually really helpful. maybe i'll finally climb out of S+0

Lmao the blackbelly one got me, they literally slapped a bunch of boxes on there and called it a day. Glad they changed it

Never knew about that shortcut on Skipper, that's an insane amount of points...thanks as always for the great vid Chara!

One time on Arowana Mall in like S rank I think, we were kinda in a stalemate, and I didn't notice our rainmaker single-handedly taking it to the end, and apparently neither did the enemy team. By the time I noticed, the match ended.

5:36 Camp rainmaker has a great shortcut

I saw a yt vid talking about this and it made me think... What if in Splatoon three you could pass the rainmaker to your teammates?

Nice, I knew a few of these, the albacore thing always frustrated me because I usually push forward with inkjet and guard the rainmaker and seeing them never use the block and dying on the uninkable was infuriating.

Got it, I will push on the far right propeller on ancho v, the best route in the game

Shortcuts such as the one at 0:11 I didn't even know about but knowing these little things such as this can be make the biggest impact of a game.

Listen, I don’t like rainmaker, but this might help make it more tolerable for me

Great vid, can't wait to go play rainmaker and use the exact same routes I have for the past two years because we're all machines and the Splatoon grind is another meaningless obstacle we assign ourselves with no intentions of actively improving.

Me who never plays ranked: *interesting ill be sure to use these*

This was more educational then any netflix documentary :')

chara: here are useful rainmaker tips. don't play port mackerel

I love pulling off that jump on the left in sturgeon shipyard. It feels like your not gonna make it but then you do and it feels good.

i’m the rm carrier for my team & this is super helpful tysm

Thank you for the piranha pit truth I've had so many wins from that conveyor when everyone tries to push the first one.

Mad props to whoever found that inkblot glitch

The classical music just playing in the outro- 👌🏻👌🏻

Wow! These tips are awesome. Thank you. Can't wait to try them out.

you'd think getting into X rank people would know these and actually use them. oh how i wish

Great vid as always Chara!

I love when you use SMG Musik🤙🏻😅Thx for the really helpful RM Video💪🏻😎

Great vid Chara!

This is a great video! Thank you for all the helpful tips.😊👏

King Video 👑

I think there should be an Attack/defense rainmaker mode, instead of both teams going for points, one team is playing the defender side of rain maker while the other is playing attacker, oh and no overtime because the attackers will almost always have the rainmaker

OMG I can't explain how lucky I was when I randomly found you and I decided to subscribe to your Channel. THIS IS THE PERFECT CONTENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S SO HELPFUL!

Been playing this game for so long and never heard of half of these mmmmmmm rainmaker’s gon be fun today

This video is super cool!! 😁

A thing I'd like to add to anyone reading the comments, DON'T go to the far right fan on Ancho-v, please. That route is never the correct route.

I AM SO HAPPY YOU POINTED OIT THE SKIPPER PAVILLION ONE. Even when I spam this way my teammates still go up the death ramp with the exception of one time where we easily won

Oh, many of them I learned the hard way. Thanks so much for the guides. I knew about the moray towers but I haven´t see people to pull that off. From a demostration it seems easy but in the middle of chaos it is difficult to remember the best routes.

I really like that your mobility brella set has that 2 mains of run speed and swim speed, I should learn these too if I'm going to use mobility gear on my brella

Wow, I would really need this, because I am A- Thanks ProChara!!

Kiver had something like this as well but this is newer

Thanks for the subtitles ^^

You really helped me I got a ko bonus one time because of your shortcut in goby arena

I could have used that goby one in my last league rotation, nice vid

solid video

1:23 “wait wait, WAIT, there’s no way that’s real right?” (That was my reaction)

Awesomeness

The captions calling Arawona Mall Marijuana Mole 😂😂💀

Nice video

For 4:48 The best shortcut for me is to take the inkrail on the left of the map and then walk on the top to the right and then it’s just a straight path

Hope these shortcuts can help improve my games since Rainmaker is my least favourite mode. Thanks.

Thanks chara this would’ve been useful for the splatter ladder yesterday surprised we didn’t get in a match against you

5:26 omg someone finally says it! I have NO IDEA why people keep doing that.

I like how for old blackbelly you just took a screenshot from one of your own videos

Hah I did the inkblot glitch the day before u posted this lmao

chara got mad hops in this one

I saved my S rank with the snapper canal tip. Thank you Chara.

You should have shown that you can propel yourself faster by shooting behind you because of the knockback. Other than that, great vid as always

Nice

Rainmaker is my favorite mode

Old Blackbelly was my favorite rainmaker map l wish that you could play on it in PB’s

Arowana mall has one risky shortcut you can jump from the left rail to score big points and get lead

0:42 Funny thing about that path is that I normally would be on guard in that area and will try to take them down like an American Gladiator!

You can jump from rail to rail in Moray???? This is going to cause so much tomfoolery on solo queue

It's a rainmaker video so here I am again... For the record on starfish mainstage, I have had faster KOs then what he shown in the video. The problem here is how you are even shooting your path. You are taking an extra shot from what should be a direct path. When you pop the RM you take to that left side and shoot past the down ramp over the wall. This allows you to swim to the proceeding ramp in which cast you can do a tap shot shooting you backwards up the ramp and inking the ped at the same time. Saves you a full shot plus gains extra speed for the KO. Saves like 2 seconds... Humpback you are actually incorrect with the right side being easier. The problem is when you go right side you are normally funneling yourself into that right side corner. You NEVER want to do this. Instead you need your teammates to move up past this corner while you take shots so you can bypass the corner and reposition yourself. In terms of speed left side is faster then right as you can take 1 shot and it can ink most of your path to the wall, tap shot wall and U turn up it. Another tap shot inks ped instead of taking 3 shots which 2 are full shots on right side. Sturgeon shipyard is completely 100% wrong. This is one of the few maps i completely disagree. The reason is the left side is so much slower and its much more dangerous then just going thru mid/right side. Using the block (not the wall) and taking whichever direction you want. Preferred left here as you have the entire wall guarding you as you go for more points. While the cheeky cheap points suiciding is nice. its very weak. If you ever find yourself taking that left side the major shortcut is inking the sponge and swimming from that left side onto the sponge onto the other side. Its very quick for points and rarely does the sponge get shot down in the time you can make that jump. Objectively stick to mid as going left has to many ways to slow any momentum and basically give you reasons to stop like a deer in headlights as you can not see the enemy anywhere. Port RM is not terrible. But I can see where you would think that. Going left side provides so much more added protection. Going right side is more of opening yourself to blind shots. SPONGE IS AN ABSOLUTE NO AS RM. That is much slower and you have worse vision on the enemy then you think as they have many ways to approach you. Going left side has the sponge as a wall for protection, as well as the small gap making the enemy team very awkward if they are not set up to defend it. As well as you can push to the wall next to the ramp next to ped safer as they have a harder time shooting downward. Also creates a nice spot to hide if you can get RM on said ramp next to ped to sneak more points or a KO. Manta there are a lot of little tricks to this map. But in the spirit of the video for fastest path, this is generally correct. However you will find yourself getting stalled and pushed back. Ideally instead of going straight after that gap, fall to the right and use that bottom wall as more of a defensive position as you run forward. You can shoot over the wall in front of you and hit ped to ink your full path as you swim to victory. Kelp dome while I agree run right if the situation provides it, You have to take a full RM shot over the wall to ink your path. The idea is to hit just beyond the wall and hit the ped as well as ink your entire path to swim it. Stalling for a 2nd shot is never advisable. Snapper there is 1 little cheeky trick you never mention (and not surprised as i rarely use it myself). You see the wall under the ped going mid? If that is inked you can take it from the block and instead of running thru that uninkable area. You can actually swim the wall up to that right side very quickly. Its a real nice short cut as it is rarely ever reinked from the enemy so it will be there the whole match. Walleye warehouse there is a jump trick i tend to use that saves a little time as its a boost to protect yourself. When you are going up that ramp next to ped that is uninkable. Turn and shoot the Rm with a tap shot to boost you up onto the corner ledge. This provides a little extra speed (almost not worth it) and boosts you more behind the ped (adds great protection faster and makes it easier to KO as you are not as exposed). Goby I 100% agree on, but you can also use that inked part where you jump the gap to get over to the left side and skip that. Swim and jump forward and you can almost jump the entire uninked spot completely. Camp, while I agree and i love that inkrail short cut. You are jumping way too late. If you jump sooner off it, you can extend your range where you land higher up for more points. Still VERY useful as the enemies are lured to the right, so this jump inkrail spot normally lets you up freely. Wahoo again i argue is not safer going left as you have less field of vision then your enemy. Going mid might seem more dangerous, however you can see where the enemy is approaching from and how. Plus you can take set up shots with the RM to ink ped as well as your path once you do make that push. The last part about sting ray, while doing what you were doing is good. Swimming backwards when you turn direction with a tap shot is more useful as it adds an addition speed boost as well as inks the sting ray that just got stuff under your feet. Making for the turn around again when you dodge it easier. You do not want to be jumping over ink while being sting rayed. This slows you down and gives you longer times getting hit. Other then those little tidbits to it. Pretty solid video in fast paths. Very quick tutorial on it. Nice job.

SICK

Ive seen more clips of people using the inkblot wall glitch since it was discovered earlier this year. Its starting to look like people have mastered it, and I wonder if the devs will patch it out in 5.5

yaya now i know how to carry my whole team in rainmaker C and B rank

The fact that Liotos is just there in every clip just makes meh laf

so let’s talk about how this video just went public and already 100 views

I'm doing any thing I can for splatoon 3, especially trying to rank Up

I hate port when it’s towers or rain maker but hate it more for towers because it’s just always a one sided push. Rainmaker though is much more tolerable

You forgot the shifty stations.

I really didn‘t know you can sub strafe with the RM…

1:23 that route is sus

love the mario galaxy music, and thanks for the tips! a v o i d t h e u n i n k a b l e s u r f a c e

If I did have swim speed 3 times with my 3 run speed, I'd be unstoppable because I remember using a brella to win the match really fast

I didn't even know the second conveyor existed on pit

The Mario galaxy music :P

These are GREAT TIPS but the only problem is that it could be harder with players actually trying to splat you

Claim your “Subscriber of Prochara before 10K” ticket here!

One thing that's extremely dumb but works a lot is the second I get it in the start of the game, I rush to the goal thingy with my max swim speed and it seems to get me quite far

Nice video! Please can I know what your gear was here (how much run and swim speed in mains and subs)? Thanks!

Turn on CC 5:00

“Don’t play rainmaker on Port Makerel. It sucks.” Well I don’t really have much of a choice… it’s either that or dollar tree clams during Black Friday

What did you mean by "straight forward" on inkblot? You mean going up the ramp after going up the wall?

what are button inputs for the inkblot glitch/how do you pull it off

Some of the more obscure point shortcuts are just pain. I guess you could call it "painmaker." Shoot me with as much MPU bamboo sticks you desire.

the mario galaxy music

How much run speed is recommended for the kelp dome skip

just noticed that ancho-v is missing from the description

you missed a shortcut on moray where you swim up the big left wall which skips 40 points

I hate sting rays on rainmaker

Why is the raimaker charging so quickly it takes 3 years for me to charge

Me with my natural pure run speed up helmate

2:34 yeah it sucks + they force you to do rainmaker in octo expansion

Chara, I wish Ancho-V games was simple for some X rank players. I get frustrated when teammates go right on the platforms on Ancho-V Games. Sharing your video with my Splatoon group. Hopefully someone will realize, DO NOT GO ON THE PLATFORMS.
