Appearance

The Clash Blaster Neo is nearly identical in appearance to the Clash Blaster.

In Splatoon 2, the only difference between the two is that the Clash Blaster Neo has stickers bearing the Neo logo on the front and side.

In Splatoon 3, the design remains the same, except that the Clash Blaster Neo now has a dark red body color compared to the original's light navy blue.

Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction The Clash Blaster Neo offers the same functionality of the original while sporting a hot new look. This set comes with Curling Bombs for closing the distance quickly. They work well with the quick action of the main weapon! If far-off foes are giving you grief, see how they like your Tenta Missiles. This set is great for players who like to go on the attack while also watching their teammates' backs.

First, you've got Curling Bombs to help you glide across the map toward your enemies. You know what to do when you get there, right? And just when they're onto you, you can fire off the Super Chump to send a bunch of exploding Super Jump decoys into the mix. This is a balanced set that can help you pull off some flashy victories. Give it a try!

Trivia

• Before being officially announced, the Clash Blaster Neo appeared in the Version 3.0 preview section of the 8 March 2018 Nintendo Direct.
  • It was shown to come with Burst Bombs and Tenta Missiles. However, later datamining and the final release have shown the weapon to come with Curling Bombs, in contradiction to the video.
• In Splatoon 2, the Clash Blaster Neo is one of the only three weapons to be unlocked simultaneously with its alternate kit, the Clash Blaster. The other pairs are the H-3 Nozzlenose D and Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose and the E-liter 4K Scope and Custom E-liter 4K Scope. It however remains as the only completely unique weapon.
  • This is due to the Clash Blaster being unlocked at Level 30, which is the highest level for unlocking weapons.
  • This is no longer true in Splatoon 3, since the Clash Blaster Neo is unlocked three levels after the Clash Blaster.
