Chargers are one of the main weapon classes in the Splatoon series.
Chargers are generally mid- to long-range weapons with high ink consumption. They fire extremely fast ink shots that travel in a straight line. They have the ability to charge up their shots in order to increase their range and damage. In Splatoon 2, most chargers without a scope received the ability to store a charge. By holding while swimming in ink, a full charge can be held for multiple seconds, and retained when the user exits their ink. Additionally, in Splatoon 2, most chargers received the ability to pierce opponents with fully charged shots.
With the Inkling Girl amiibo, the player can use the Hero Charger for Octo Valley missions in order to receive the Hero Charger Replica.
