Wasabi Splattershot

"First up is the Wasabi Splattershot. This beauty is a Splattershot set featuring a few key adjustments by Sheldon. The main weapon is pretty much the same as before, but Splat Bombs amp up its frontline capability. Alternatively, try calling in an Inkstrike to scatter the opposition and give your teammates the advantage. This is just the set for the discerning Inkling looking for something spicy!"

Competitive Viability
While it may not be the most common, the Wasabi is used a fair amount in competitive play. When compared to the much more common Tentatek Splattershot, it has the same gun and a slightly similar sub in the Splat Bomb , which is fairly similar in usefulness compared to the Tentatek's Suction Bomb. However, the Wasabi's special, the Inkstrike, is significantly weaker than the Inkzooka, meaning almost all players stick to the Tentatek over the Wasabi. The inkstrike does have usefulness though, especially in Splat Zones, so the Wasabi is sometimes seen used in competitive play.

Trivia

 * The European Nintendo Direct incorrectly showed the 's Special Weapon as the Inkzooka instead of the Inkstrike.
