Charger

File:Screenshot 2.png

Chargers are one of the five Main Weapon classifications in Splatoon. The charger has a build-up time to a powerful blast that can take enemies out immediately within a long range. It is an ideal weapon for the Inklings on guard, with the option to fire uncharged shots for quicker turf coverage.

Tips

• When hovering above an enemy who is inside your firing range, the cross hair will turn into an X.
• You don't always need a fully charged shot to kill enemies.
• If an enemy is closing in or you're ambushed, you're often better off running away. If you're cornered, try shooting partly-charged shots.
• Chargers will show a thin, glowing line when aiming a charged shot. This can alert enemies of your presence.
• Keep your distance. Find a comfortable spot to shoot from, and never join close quarters combat.
• Watch your back and the ground beneath you.

Countering

• Move erratically
• A Charger's weakest spots are behind them and beneath them.
