- For a similarly-named Boss Salmonid introduced in Splatoon 2, see Stinger.
Stringers are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
Stringers are bow and arrow-like charging weapons that can fire spreads of arcing ink projectiles in horizontal or vertical configurations.
Stringers were first introduced in Splatoon 3.
General mechanics
Stringers have similarities to both charging weapon classes introduced before them. They possess increased range when charged with , while also increasing damage (with the potential for a one-hit splat) like chargers, but they also possess two levels of charge akin to splatlings.
When charging, range increases proportionally to the amount of charge, allowing the stringer user to more finely control where their arcing shots may land. However, damage is immediately increased by a flat amount when the first charging circle is filled, meaning stringers are not as beholden as chargers to a full charge for maximum lethality.
Stringers fire in a horizontal spread when grounded, but a user may additionally choose to fire vertically at any time by jumping with (or any other means of entering a midair state). Depending on charge level, this may narrow the horizontal spread of ink considerably, but can also increase lethality when targeting enemies.
List of stringers
Note: The series are arranged by their respective order in the weapon select screen with the Main filter.
Series | Description | Variants | Games |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Tri-Stringer |
The standard stringer, with long range but no charge hold. Reaching the first level of charge allows its shots to lodge themselves in terrain briefly before exploding. | ![]() |
✓ |
![]() |
✓ | ||
![]() |
✓ | ||
![]() REEF-LUX 450 |
A lightweight stringer that can store its charge, but cannot fire explosive shots. It charges quickly and does more damage than the Tri-Stringer, but it is lacking in range. | ![]() |
✓ |
![]() |
✓ | ||
![]() Wellstring V |
A heavyweight stringer with five explosive shots. Its first level of charge centers the ink projectiles, and the second level of charge spreads them out. | ![]() |
✓ |
![]() |
✓ |
Special stringers
The following stringer(s) are only available outside of battles as part of other modes:
Weapon | Description | Games |
---|---|---|
![]() Grizzco Stringer |
A modified rare weapon based on the Tri-Stringer, only available in Salmon Run Next Wave. It possesses a greatly increased number of spread projectiles (nine to the three of other stringers), as well as the same delayed explosions of the Tri-Stringer's charged projectiles. It possesses extreme damage potential when all projectiles hit, although this can be difficult due to its extremely wide spread and irregularly-arranged reticles. | ✓ |
![]() Order Stringer |
A stringer similar to the Tri-Stringer only used in Side Order when equipping Shiver's Palette. Upon successful completion of a run with this Palette equipped, the player will unlock the Order Stringer Replica for use in battles. | ✓ |

Trivia
- Stringers have a currently unused feature that traces the path that their projectiles will take while they charge.
- As of Sizzle Season 2024, the stringer class is tied with the splatana class for having the least number of weapons in it, with only six.
- The internal ordering of stringer weapon IDs is different from all other weapon classes.
- Following the first one or two digits, which identify a weapon's class, all other weapon classes have a weapon internally listed as being the "0"th main weapon of that type. It is then followed by another number to indicate which kit loadout of the weapon it is. Curiously, the stringer class skips the expected value 7000 and begins with the Tri-Stringer as weapon ID 7010, which would usually be reserved for the second weapon in the class.
