Splatoon 2 Guide › Multiplayer Maps › Starfish Mainstage

Overview

When not hosting musicians, this quaint outdoor concert venue serves as the site of some heated Ink Battles. The mainstage, in the center of the map, is the focal point of most engagements. Inklings seeking to avoid the chaotic center can find plenty of side routes, useful for flanking maneuvers and sneak attacks. Each team also benefits from a large safe zone, each providing two elevated routes to the map’s highly contested center. Make a habit of utilizing the elevated perches, paths, and grates to spread ink and target opponents in the map’s low-lying areas. Mid-range weapons with rapid-fire capability are always a safe bet here.
