Hero Splatling

The Hero Splatling is a splatling in Splatoon 2 that is exclusively used in Octo Canyon.

Description
The Hero Splatling has a futuristic design; unlike most hero weapons it is primary chrome with lime green accents. Its straight tank makes it more similar looking to the Heavy Splatling from Splatoon, rather than the angled tank on the Splatoon 2 version. It is usable in Octo Canyon and can be upgraded one level. Like all hero weapons of Splatoon 2, it comes with switchable sub weapons of Splat Bombs, Curling Bombs and Autobombs. It is loaned by Sheldon during the level, Dancing Floors, and can be used in missions after beating the level. Beating all missions in Octo Canyon with the weapon unlocks the Hero Splatling Replica for purchase at Ammo Knights.

Hero Splatling Replica
The Hero Splatling Replica is a reward in Splatoon 2 unlocked for purchase at Ammo Knights by beating all missions with the Hero Splatling. It is a splatling-type Main Weapon and is visually identical to the Hero Splatling. Despite its unique appearance, it is simply a reskin of the Heavy Splatling, sharing the same stats and loadout, Sprinkler and Sting Ray.

Trivia

 * Unlike most splatlings, which have a tilted drum, the Hero Splatling has a horizontal drum, a trait it shares with the Heavy Splatling Remix.
