Been coaching younger players through Ink Games for a while now, and the same 3 mistakes come up over and over. Sharing them here in case it saves someone the grind:

1. Chasing kills instead of objectives. New players sprint toward every fight they see. The players who actually climb ranks are the ones tracking the map's win condition first, fights second.

2. Ignoring ink management. Running out of ink at the wrong moment is the #1 reason beginners get caught out. Treat ink like a resource you budget, not something you spam.

3. Not reviewing replays. Almost nobody at the beginner level watches their own gameplay back. Even 10 minutes of replay review after a session will teach you more than an hour of blind grinding.

If you're just starting out, focus on one of these at a time — don't try to fix everything at once. Small, consistent improvements compound fast in this game.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's stuck on something specific.
