The Kelp Splat Charger is in a set with the [[Sprinkler]] and [[Killer Wail]]. Unlike most weapons, it can be charged. The more it is charged, the farther the ink will go. It also creates a thick line of ink, rather than a blob.

==Competitive Viability==
== Trivia ==
The Kelp Splat Charger, along with the [[Splat Charger]] and [[Bento Splat Charger]], are all nice chargers with a strong enough range to play a dominant, safe charger, but they aren't an [[E-liter 3K]], and because of it they suffer. The Kelp has a [[Sprinkler]], which is really nice, but the [[Killer Wail]] doesn't help an awful lot, and because of it the regular [[Splat Charger]] gets a bit more use. The Kelp may be seen on close ranged TC maps, but otherwise it will not be chosen over any of the E-Liters in competitive.

*{{nerf|Special gauge loss|50%|up to 60%}}
*{{nerf|Range when not fully charged reduced by about 20%.}}
*{{buff|Range when fully charged increased by about 4%.}}


==Recommended Abilities==
* Both this weapon and the [[Bento Splat Charger]] were absent from ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', likely in favor of the [[Firefin Splat Charger]] and [[Kensa Charger]] being the new second and third variants respectively for the [[Splat Charger]].
==={{Ability|Quick Respawn}}===
Having Quick Respawn along with the Kelp Splat Charger allows charger users to jump back into battle and assist the team. Sooner rather than later.
==={{Ability|Ink Saver (Main)}}===
Chargers often run out of [[ink]] when the user least expects it. Also, the weapon uses a lot of ink when firing fully charged shots. Ink Saver Main reduces the amount of ink used by the charger.
==={{Ability|Special Charge Up}}===
The [[Killer Wail]] is some of the most powerful [[Special Weapon]]s in the game, and those with Kelp Splat Chargers will want to deploy it as much as possible. Having Special Charge Up will increase the speed at which the special gauge fills, allowing the special to be used more frequently.
==={{Ability|Run Speed Up}}===
Chargers are hard to move with. Having Run Speed up will increase mobility while in Inkling form.
==={{Ability|Swim Speed Up}}===
Swim Speed Up increases mobility in squid form. As chargers are hard to run with, having a higher swim speed can aid in fast escapes.

 Sheldon's Introduction

I created the Kelp Splat Charger based on my grandpappy's blueprints. Cool seaweed design, right? Though, if I'm honest, it's exactly the same as the Splat Charger in stats. But this set comes with the Sprinkler to ink hard-to-reach locations while you hold a strategic position! And the Killer Wail will blow all of your opponents away! Use it well to turn the tide of battle!

Notes

  1. ↑ These are the values used by the game for damage scaling; numbers in this range are not necessarily guaranteed to be possible to achieve in-game. For example, 100 is overriden by the full charge damage value, so it will never be seen in-game.
