The '''Hero Charger Replica''' is a [[Charger]] [[Main Weapon]] in ''[[Splatoon]]''.
== Appearance ==
In both games, the Hero Charger Replica is identical in appearance to the [[Hero Charger]]. In ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', it is identical to the Level 1 Hero Charger.


Visually, it is based off of the [[Hero Charger]] found in [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]], but stats-wise it is identical to the [[Splat Charger]].

The Hero Charger is not available during regular [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] but can be used at the [[amiibo]] stand in ''[[Inkopolis Plaza]]'' with an [[Inkling]] Girl amiibo. When using this Amiibo, the player is given the chance to go through some of the previous Octo Valley levels that they have beaten and replay them using a Charger rather than a [[Shooter]].

The Hero Charger looks slightly similar to the real life M16 Rifle, an iconic weapon and the standar service rifle for many armies in the world; however, the M16 is an assault rifle rather than a sniper rifle.

==Recommended Abilities==
===Quotes===
==={{Ability|Ink Recovery Up}}===
{{QuoteW|A sweet replica created by [[Sheldon]] from his [[Ammoses Shellendorf|grandfather's]] blueprints. It looks funky fresh, to be sure, but apparently it's just a regular [[Splat Charger]] with a fancy paint job.|In-Game Description{{NA}}}}
Fully charged shots consume lots [[ink]], and charger users can often run out when they least expect it. The Ink Recovery Up ability hastens the refill rate of ink. This ability enables players to have constant and more long term map presence and have both main and sub weapons frequently at hand. Tentatek gear has a 5x higher chance of rolling this ability.
==={{Ability|Swim Speed Up}}===
Swim Speed Up makes mobility easier. Swim Speed Up will increase mobility in squid form to aid in quick escapes from enemies who get too close.
==={{Ability|Cold Blooded}}===
The Cold Blooded ability reduces the duration of tracking by Point Sensors, Haunt, and Echolocators by 75%. Cold Blooded allows players to be unpredictable in positioning, win sniper duels and prevent quick splats by enemy snipers. As snipers wait in ink until an enemy approaches, Cold Blooded is useful for removing Echolocators that show where a hiding/camping spot is.


==Trivia==

*The Hero Charger looks slightly similar to the real-life [[Wikipedia:M16 rifle|M16 rifle]], an iconic weapon and the standard for many armies around the world. However, the M16 is an assault rifle, not a sniper rifle.

The Hero Charger is not available during regular Octo Valley missions but can be used at the amiibo stand in Inkopolis Plaza with an Inkling Girl amiibo. When using this amiibo, the player is given the chance to go through some of the previous Octo Valley levels that they have beaten and replay them using a charger rather than a shooter.

Visually, it is based on the Hero Charger found in Octo Valley, but stats-wise it is identical to the Splat Charger.

When the blueprints are obtained and given to Sheldon in Ammo Knights, he gives the player the Hero Charger Replica as he cannot copy the technology shown on the blueprints. It, therefore, loses the specially-designed Agent 3 Splat Bombs.

The Hero Charger looks slightly similar to the real-life M16 Rifle, an iconic weapon and the standard service rifle for many armies in the world; however, the M16 is an assault rifle rather than a sniper rifle.

The Hero Charger Replica comes with Splat Bombs and the Bomb Rush.

Unlock

To unlock the Hero Charger Replica, the player must play the last set of missions from the Inkling Girl amiibo:

The blueprints to the Hero Charger Replica are received after completing the fifth boss challenge.

Data

  • The Hero Charger Replica is a middleweight weapon.
  • Ink consumption scales from 2.4% to 18% depending on the charge level.
    • The full-charge ink consumption of 18% allows players to fire 5 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
  • The Hero Charger Replica cannot store its charge.
  • It takes 1 second to fully charge the weapon.
    • When charging a shot with an empty tank, the charge rate is 33.33%, permitting the player to fully charge a shot in 3 seconds.
  • Shots cannot pierce through enemies.
  • When charging while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.2 units per frame.
  • Damage scales from 40 to 100 depending on the charge level. At full charge, the damage is 160.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The Hero Charger Replica is an alternate design of the standard Splat Charger model with the same stats and setup. This weapon came about after I made a breakthrough in my research and managed to create the ultimate weapon! Sadly, it never made it to mass production because the guys at the factory couldn't wrap their heads around my advanced schematics... So instead they just slapped some shiny parts on a standard Splat Charger and called it the Hero Charger Replica. Give it a shot!

Notes

  1. ↑ These are the values used by the game for damage scaling; numbers in this range are not necessarily guaranteed to be possible to achieve in-game. For example, 100 is overriden by the full charge damage value, so it will never be seen in-game.
