The Splat Bomb is a sub weapon in the Splatoon series. It is a thrown bomb that explodes a few seconds after landing.

Appearance

In Splatoon, the Splat Bomb is a bomb that features green supports connected to yellow and red caps that form the shape of a pyramid. Inside the pyramid is a bag that is filled with the user's ink. The bag seems to have loops on it that wrap around the supports, holding the bag in place. The Splat Bombs used by Agent 3 in Octo Valley are black and combine the supports and caps into one large piece. There are lights on the vertices that change color depending on the upgrades. In Splatoon 2, the overall design is largely unchanged. However, the supports are now purple with green and pink caps. The Splat Bombs used by Agent 4 in Octo Canyon are almost identical to the ones used in Octo Valley, but the lights are blue due to the Octo Canyon Splat Bombs not being upgradable. The Splat Bombs that Callie and DJ Octavio use in the final boss fight have black supports and gold and magenta caps. There is a gold and black squid-shaped sticker on the bag.

When thrown, a second after touching a surface, the Splat Bomb explodes and coats the area in its respective team's color. Splat Bombs do not explode in mid-air; they can only explode after touching an object. They look slightly different in Octo Valley.

Octo Valley

Splat Bombs are the default sub weapon in Octo Valley, able to be switched out for Burst Bombs or Seekers via D-Pad once they are unlocked. Neither can be used in amiibo challenges, making Splat Bombs the only usable sub weapon for the Hero Roller and Hero Charger.

Splat Bombs are used to defeat the Octomaw by throwing them into its mouth, stunning it when they explode.

Octobombers and Octolings are also capable of using Splat Bombs, periodically launching them at Agent 3.

Use

  • The Splat Bomb's deployment timer begins counting down when it initially touches an object. This countdown is paused when it is falling and resumes when it lands. When throwing a Splat Bomb down at an opponent, it is recommended to first bounce the Splat Bomb off a ledge to begin the countdown timer, thereby giving the opponent less time to react when the Bomb touches the ground.
  • Splat Bombs can force enemy players to come out of hiding from behind walls or on top of ledges.

Analytics

At a range of 0.75 or closer, this weapon will do 180 damage. Below 1.5 range, it deals significantly lower damage of 30. Any distance beyond that will not hurt the enemy.

0 - .75 .75 - 1.5 1.5+
180 (Splat) 30 0

Quotes

These ink-filled pyramid-shaped explosives operate on a time-delayed fuse. Once tossed, they bounce around for a few seconds before exploding, spreading ink over a wide area. This allows them to be bounced around corners, rolled down inclines, or skipped across platforms. While the delayed fuse allows for a variety of deployment techniques, it also gives opponents time to get away. For best results, toss Splat Bombs in areas where opponents are unlikely to see them until it's too late, such as the base of ramps. Splat Bombs only explode on the ground and will not detonate in mid-air.

Judd's Advice
Meow! (A Splat Bomb's timer is only active while it's on the ground! So they'll explode quicker when rolled than when thrown through the air!)

Ink management

As Splat Bombs can be used to herd an opponent into a vulnerable position, it is important to be able to continue firing after using the bomb and fully capitalize on the battlefield control provided by the Splat Bomb. The 70% ink consumed by the Splat Bomb makes it desirable to use the ink management abilities Ink Saver (Main) and Ink Saver (Sub). The charts below show the combinations needed to achieve particular shot counts after using a Splat Bomb. Alternatively, a combination of Ink Recovery Up and Ink Saver (Sub) is useful if the player just wants to throw more bombs, as opposed to throwing a bomb and then using the main weapon. After deploying a Splat Bomb, there is a one-second delay before ink can be refilled again. With three mains and two subs of Ink Saver (Sub), two Splat Bombs may be deployed with one full ink tank.

Splat Bombs look almost identical to how they did in the first game, however, the colors have been changed from green, light green, and red to purple, light purple, and a dark shade of lime green. They will always explode on contact with the Rainmaker shield, Brella shields, Bubble Blower bubbles, Splash Walls, data points, Zapfish shields and lifesavers.

It appears in four Octo Expansion Stations:

Splat Bombs look identical to how they did in Splatoon 2. Functionally they work the same as well, exploding on contact with the Rainmaker shield, Brella shields, Splash Walls, lifesavers, and the end of mission goals. Splat Bombs are an unlock-able part of the Hero Gear in the single player mode, Return of the Mammalians, where they cost 3 Sardinium and 3 Hero Points. It has the same idea of the splat bomb in regular matches, but only with blacked frames on the outside.

Version history

Version Adjustments
Base game
  • Reduced the radius at which the blast can deal maximum damage to an opponent by 10%: 40 units → 36 units.[1]
2.0.0
  • The sound effects when the Splat Bomb, Torpedo, or Fizzy Bomb roll on the ground are now easier to hear.
  • Fixed an issue where explosions from the Reefslider or Splat Bombs could not deal damage to a Big Shot or a Cohock.

Quotes

A bomb that explodes a short time after it lands. It inks the area around it when it explodes and can even take out opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Splat Bomb appears as Inkling's down special attack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of other weapons that they use in their attacks.

When attacking, they throw a Splat Bomb into the air, and after one second, it explodes, dealing damage. This also coats opponents in ink. The player cannot throw a Splat Bomb when the ink in the tank is below the red line (similarly to Splatoon) or when they are out of ink. When it touches opponents directly, it explodes immediately after touching the opponent. When holding B, the Splat Bomb is thrown farther and is thrown directly in the direction instead of in the air.
