The Splat Charger is a Main Weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Description

Splatoon

The Splat Charger, like other Charger-type weapons, can be charged up to increase range and damage. The more it is charged, the farther the Ink will go. On top of that, a fully charged shot will splat an enemy in one hit if it lands. It also creates a thick line of ink, rather than a small blob like Shooters do. This weapon is the most basic form of Charger in Splatoon and comes in a set with the Splat Bomb and Bomb Rush.

“ Charges up before releasing a concentrated, high-powered burst with excellent range. Charging takes a while, so be careful not to open yourself up to attack! ”
— In-Game Description
“ News flash! We’ve just confirmed that this weapon is called a Splat Charger. Apparently ink is pressurized in the tank and then fired off in powerful blasts that are super effective at hitting long-range targets. Sooo sweet! ”
Sheldon's Introduction

The Splat Charger is a Charger-type weapon, designed for long-range offence. Hold down ZR to build up ink, then release to fire it all out at once, painting a long path in an instant! With this weapon type's debut, Turf Wars expanded from mid-range battles to something more complex! With the easy-to-use Splat Bombs and Bomb Rush, this is a good set to get used to the charger fighting style! (EU/OC)[a]

Splatoon 2

The Splat Charger returns for Splatoon 2 with a new design and the Sting Ray instead of Bomb Rush. The player can now charge up a shot, go into squid form, and turn back into a kid and the charger shoots automatically. The player now lights up while charging a shot, and if the player is charging a shot, and goes into squid form, the player also glows.

Notes

“ In terms of stats, the Splat Charger sits right in the middle of the chargers, and thus has the most versatility and the possibility to adjust for play style. Splat Bombs are powerful tools on their own from mid-range, so Ink Saver (Sub) and Bomb Range Up can be particularly useful abilities when using this loadout. ”
— Splatoon Prima Guide

2.7.0

Recommended Abilities

Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).

Fully charged shots consume lots ink, and charger users can often run out when they least expect it. Consider having Ink Saver Main to reduce the amount of ink for each shot.

Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).

Being that the Splat Charger has the Splat Bomb as its Sub Weapon, the Ink Saver Sub skill will reduce the amount of each each bomb uses, allowing Splat Charger users to deploy bombs more often.

Ink Recovery Up serves the same purpose as Ink Saver- fully charged shots consume lots ink, and charger users can often run out when they least expect it.

Surprisingly, mobility with chargers can be challenging. Having Run Speed Up will make moving in Inkling form with the charger less difficult.

Lua error in Module:Ability at line 29: attempt to concatenate local 'linkText' (a nil value).

Swim Speed Up serves the same purpose as Run Speed Up- to make mobility easier. Swim Speed Up will increase mobility in squid form to aid in quick escapes from enemies who get too close.

As snipers wait in ink until an enemy approaches, Cold Blooded is useful for removing Echolocators that show where a hiding/camping spot is.

The Damage Up ability is most effective on Charger weapons. It reduces the amount a Charger needs to be charged before getting a one-hit kill.
