Splat Charger

The Splat Charger (Spraytan or Compact Spraytan in several versions) is a Main Weapon in Splatoon.

Description
The Splat Charger, like other Charger-type weapons, can be charged up to increase range and damage. The more it is charged, the farther the Ink will go. On top of that, a fully charged shot will splat an enemy in one hit if it lands. It also creates a thick line of ink, rather than a small blob like Shooters do. This weapon is the most basic form of Charger in Splatoon and comes in a set with the Splat Bomb and Bomb Rush.

"Charges up before releasing a concentrated, high-powered burst with excellent range. Charging takes a while, so be careful not to open yourself up to attack!"

- In-Game Description

Quick Respawn is a very useful ability for chargers. The sooner a charger gets back into battle, the sooner they can assist their team offensively.

Being that the Splat Charger has the Splat Bomb as it's Sub Weapon, the Ink Saver Sub skill will reduce the amount of each each bomb uses, allowing Splat Charger users to deploy bombs more often.

The Bomb Range Up ability that Splat Bombs thrown will travel farther than they would if the ability is not equipped. Splat Bombs can be useful for taking out advancing foes at mid-range.

Fully charged shots consume lots ink, and charger users can often run out when they least expect it. Consider having Ink Saver Main to reduce the amount of ink for each shot.

Surprisingly, mobility with chargers can be challenging. Having Run Speed Up will make moving in Inkling form with the charger less difficult.

Swim Speed Up serves the same purpose as Run Speed Up- to make mobility easier. Swim Speed Up will increase mobility in squid form to aid in quick escapes from enemies.
