How to Use E-liter 4K Effectively

Pick off opponents from higher ground. Aim and charge while hiding. Take cover near areas surrounded by your team's ink.

Position yourself at high vantage points to easily pick off opponents.

Most enemies won't really look on higher grounds and will tend to just run straight forward, shooting anyone within their limited line of sight. Use this as an advantage and take the initiative to get in position on top of obstacles to eliminate enemy Inklings.

Aim and charge your weapon while hiding. Charging will give away your position due to the visible line seen while charging up.

There will be a visible line seen by enemies as you aim down and charge your weapon. A quick tip is to charge your weapon while still in cover to avoid the line from being seen and then jump out of hiding to quickly release your shot at the first target that you see. A fully charged E-liter 4K results in an insta-splat!

Use Squid Swim to fall back quickly when an enemy comes up close.

You will be outclassed by weapons that are effective at close range. Make sure you plan your escape route by position yourself near areas coated with your team's ink to swim away from danger!
